i: § portant changes New Top Red Easy-Going; He's Brother-In-Law Of Boss By EDDY GILMORE (The writer of this article left Moscow in June after serving 11 years as an AP correspondent there). The selection of Nikita Khrus- chev as first secretary of the cen- tral committee of the Communist arty strengthens the hand of remier Georgi M. Malenkov. It could be the forerunner c¢' im- in agricultural policy in Russia. Khruschev, 59, is said to be one | of the easier going comrades of the high Communist brass. He is gen- Ey known as Malenkov's | brother-in-law. It was also Khruschev, the son of a Kursk miner, who got kicked | in the pants two years ago for | suggesting the time was ripe for "agro towns" in Soviet agriculture. | married Some years ago--perhaps 15 or 20---Malenkov was reported to have Khrushchey's sister, 'a {| comely woman now in ber 40s who | has many f riends in Russia's world arts, particularly the opera and et. Khruschev long interested i himself in the collective farm sys- tem--or else was assigned the job | of being interested in it. This may Card Player 0 be more logical, for he never was a farmer. ¥ When he was party boss of the Soviet Union's giant southern re- public of Ukraine, agriculture was naturally the subject which con- cerned him mightily, for the Uk- rraine is the country's greatest ducer of wheat. It was after he got to Moscow four years ago that he received the kick in his commissariat trou- sers for the suggested innovation in agriculture that backfired: The Moscow press came out one morning saying the small individ- ual collective farmer was not solution to the Soviet Union's agri- cultural problem; that the real thing of the future was big col- lective farms and the way to bring this about was to consolidate the small farms and small farmers into new and bigger collective farms. This new theory generated a col- lective peasant grumble heard from the black earth of Kursk to the tundra of Siberia. The Russian peasant, one of the most conser- vative of all people, resents any- thing new almost as much as he resents the collective farm system itself. To the peasant, the suggestion for the consolidation of small col- lective farms into big collective farms meant he was going to have to work harder for the govern- ment, endure tighter control over his life and work by the state, and see an opening stroke in favor of something he always had feared --transformation of all collective farms into state farms. There are two kinds of farms in Russia--collective farms and pro- state farms. The collective farm is a grouping of peasants who till a certain amount of land and raise a certain number of cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, etc., collectively. The government sets a production target for them to meet and when they do this what is left over be- longs to them. They also have the | Private plots of land, privately- owned cows, sheep and chickens and § What they earn from these is The state farm, on the other hand, is a big tract of land owned and operated by the state. Farm laborers work for the "state for salary and bonuses. But this didn't make the peasant collective farmer so resentful as Khrushchev"s suggestion of "agro towns." Roughly, an agro town is an agricultural city. But the peasant knew it wouldn't be much of a city and it wouldn't be much "agro" for him. He saw himself, his family and friends being moved out of their present huts with their adjoining plots of more or less private ground into some barracks room; and he would live in crowded con- ditions, huddled together like the Russian of the cities. He didn't like this and said so. Next thing, the papers came out with a denunciation of the agro town idea and Tovarich Khrush- chev was the goat.

EXTRA CARE NEEDED "There's no room for errors with camera so close," said Stuthard an interview. For about 10 min- wtes he shows just how "easy" it #s to pick any card you want out of a pack. His favorite trick is to halve the deck, dovetail one half into the other and shake the four aces out of the half farthest from his hands. It was early in 1952 that the Canadian first appeared in a series of six live television broad- easts here. In stage and cabaret shows, Joe accompanied by his wife Kay, from Montreal. The duo re- sure, deft fingers have been' ered Prize the RCAF, and the Stuthards have been travelling ever since.

PRIZED GIFT A gift the Stuthards highly prize is an 18-inch-high silver cup pre- s.ated to them in India. It's in- scribed: *. . . For the best foreign magic act to visit India." Stuthard finds, however, that In- dian magic is pretty elementary and soniewhat gory. If a woman is cut in two, Indians won't accept the trick unless there is plenty of "blood." The Stuthards spent five months before Christmas last year. The Stuthards don't mind how far or how often they travel. It's all "copy" for the text books on magic that Joe writes when he has time. Of the five already printed, "The Trilby Deck" was a best seller two years running. The books deal with stage. tricks. Joe and Kay have not been home since they spent a year in Cana- dian entertainment, 1949 to 1950.

That's why her majesty will have a specially-built Land Rqver for her tour of Australia next year. Visits of royalty take a lot of advance planning, and already Lt.- Gen. F. H. Berryman, director- general of the royal visit, has solved the problem of how the Queen can hold her skirts down, hold her hat on, hold onto the veh- icle and still spare a hand to wave. The special Rover will be built up at the back, above waist level: it will have. a rail to hold. That will leave her the choice of waving or holding onto her hat, if it's a windy day. "She chose a Land Rover in pre- ference to a closed car because she wants to see--and be seen by--as many people as possible, "the gen- eral explained.
