(Some time ago Secretary
Dulles mentioned the possibil
ity that leaders would arise in
Russia who would put their
country’s welfare ahead of the
international spread .of commiun
ism, and that Bast-West settle
ments might then be possible.
He seemed to be feeling a
round to find out whether Sta
lin’s successors might be such
men.
Not long afterward Russia
put new emphasis on her sweet
ness and light campaign. Com
munist party (boss Khrushchev
began his international travels
with an aura of jovialty. Sour
puss Malenlkov was replaced by
polite Bulganin. People began
to really wonder. Did Dulles
have a good hunch?
Molotov, Stalin’s “hammer”,
got himself a little off the party
line and publicly apologized.
There was brief conjecture that
he might be slipping into limbo
with so many other old Bol
sheviks.
Instead, he went to Geneva
not only with the hammer, but
with a riveting machine which
erected new barriers to agree
ment.
Afterward, he, Khrushchev,
Bulganin, Dulles, Pinay and Ei
senhawer said well, maybe
things had fallen through for
the moment, but they’d get
them settled some day.
Now, traveling in India, Khr
ushchev has answered the orig
inal Dulles speculation. The
Russians are not changing, he
said. The revolutionary doc
trine of Lenin is still their
guiding star. Others will event
ually have to come around to
it, /because Russia is goinlg to
win.
For the first time in quite a
while the party boss dropped;
back into the lonig-playing style
of Russian propaganda, refer-;
ring to Russia’s opponents as j
aggressors and instigators of
war.
•He did say that Russia’s vie
tory would come about through
“.peaceful competition.” but he
was a much tougher sounding
man than he was last spring.
Khrushchev again ignored,
the communist record of bitter,
attacks on Mahatma Gandhi
and compared the late Indian
leader with Lenin as a revolu
tionary. It was comparable
with his efffort to convince Pre
sident Tito that a coaple of
dead men had make the “mis
take” of ourting Yugoslavia t
from the Cominform. i
Khrtuschhev apparently
thinks he can say whatever fits ]
a given moment without hav
ing anyone check the record.;
To vhat extent it is difficult to
exact any broad general mean
ing from his day to day re
marks. Nevertheless, what he
said in India, emphasizing oth
er recent statements, makes it
clear that, insofar as he is con
cerned, the export of commun
ism, with its resultant creation
of world tensions, is still his
main order of (business.

NEW CAR HAS ALL
ENGLAND DREAMING
'by Stanley Godfrey
IX>MDON (TP) The new “Won
der” car developed by Harry
Ferguson has set Britain dream
injg of a way out of her sagging
position in the world’s car ex
port rankings — even though
details of the car are secret.
Ferfgiuson is the tractor mag
nate whose patent battles with
Ford Motor Co. won him nine
million dollars in infringement
costs.
Reported to be completely
new in concept, the Ferguson
car is said in British press ac
counts to threaten to revolu
tionize the automaking indus
try. It does away with conven
tion brakes, (gear box, clutch and
transmission.
So far no details of the new
auto have (been made public—
hut a number of “leaks” over
the last few days have enabled
the following picture to be
pieced together.
The secret of the new car is
a large pressure chamber pump
ing out hydraulic fluid to drive
and brake—all four wheels by
small turbines and to operate
he independent suspension sys
tern and other power units.
The engine is merely a sub
sidiary of this hydraulic sys
tem. It could be carried on a
trailer hooked behind the car
and linked to it with a single
oil pressure cable.
The mo or is close-coupled
to the hydraulic pump, which
compresses oil in a pressure
chamber.
From this chamber, high
pressure oil jets are taken to
small turbines which drive all
four whels through short, flex
i'ble couplings.
Braking is effected by a sim
pie, two-way valve. When the
brake pedel is depressed, the
power jet is directed to the re
verse side of the tunbine to pro
duce an even stofpping pressure
on all four wheels.
It is claimed this braking s£S

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
X-RAY BIDS SATURDAY
With all members of the
L’ity council except W. W.
Knight present, a special meet
ing was held Saturday after
noon to discuss further the
bids submitted on an x-ray
machine (for the new Sitka
Community hospital.
iSpecifications, which had
been written (by a salesman for
one of the three competing
companies and which were re
quested to be broad enough so
all might ibid, were found to
be so restricted that but one
company could bid on the mod
el machine desired.
The low bidder for tlhe ceil
ing-mounted x-ray was unable
to comply completely with the
specifications, for this reason.
What effect this would have on ;
Hill-Burton participation in
the cost of the machine was
the problem before the city
fathers.
Ra her than reject and call
for new bids, counwl agreed
to forward the specifications,
bids and a full explanation to
Dr. Haijgett of the Hill-Burton
office for his decision and re
commendations.
