Jhat is closer than any humans organ of state power under the Russian constitution, had been called into special session after the death of Josef Stalin. Unan imously and with tremendous applause, it approved Malenkov's selection as prime minister to succeed Stalin and agreed to a sweeping reorganization of the government abolishing more than half the cabinet ministries Malenkov, dressed in a green- khaki tunic buttoned to the chin, made the key declaration of the day. As in his funeral oration over the bier of Stalin last Monday, he stressed a policy of peace. He specifically mentioned the U.S.

in his plea for a peaceful settlement of controversial issues. LOUD 'APPLAUSE At this point, the delegates cheered loudly, and Interior Minister L. P. Beria and Foreign Minister V. M.

Molotov applauded. After a session lasting only an hour and, seven minutes, the more than 1,000 delegates to the two houses of the Soviet Parliament adjourned and went home. Some of them had traveled for days from remote areas of the Soviet Union to attend the session. The new Soviet leader did not once use the expression "war mongers, nor did he refer to American "imperialists." In fact, the foremost Soviet officials have not denounced the U.S. in these terms, either at Stalin's funeral or before the Supreme Soviet, and they have not attacked President Eisenhower personally.

The Soviet press has followed the same course, a significant one. "At present and in the future," Malenkov told the delegates, "there is no such troublesome or unsolved question which cannot be solved by peaceful means." DIPLOMATS' REACTION One foreign diplomat, commenting after the speech, said it "almost amounted to an offer to sit down with the United States and any one else try to ease the world's tension. 'Another diplomat said "it could be one of the most important statements to be made in a very long while." Malenkov was cheered at vir tually every stage of the proceed ings. He gave assurances that he was dedicated to the job of building for the Soviet people 'a free and happy life" and of advancing on the. path of Communism in brotherly unity.

Russell (D-Ga.

in which Russell said there was a conspiracy to drive the South out of the party, Mitchell replied that he knew of no such conspiracy and" that actually there was a very strong effort under way to unite the two factions. He conceded" there were "wide and continuing differences" on the subject of federal job-discrimination legislation but that he did not believe a settlement of this issue would destroy the party.

"As you put it so well in your message, we must meet taxpayers with the kind of attitude that shows a sincere desire to be helpful. "We are in business to help the taxpayers.

If we put ourselves in the position of treating those who come to us as we would like to be treated ourselves, the chance is that we will do about what is right."

Hoyt Vandenberg, Air Force- chief of staff, declared Sunday night that he is "'d up with our boys being used as clay pigeons" by Commu nist fighter pilots in Europe. Returning from an inspection trip of American air bases in Europe and Africa, Vandenberg said he could only guess whether the shooting down of British and U.S. planes by Soviet built JVIIG-15 planes was a deliberate plot of any sort. "I'm worried about it," the gen eral said in referring to the inci dents, adding he could not com ment further.

Vandenberg said he asked Gen, Matthew, B. Ridgway, commander of the North Atlantic Treaty forces, and U.S. Air Force com manders in Europe to see if any changes should be made in in structions to U.S. pilots regarding contact with Red planes. The air chief explained that it is necessary for U.S.

pilots in the American zone of Germany to fly near the befrders "to see what is going on but they stay well within our own lines." The air defenses in Europe, Vandenbe rg said, would be strengthened when the speedy F-86 Sabrejets arrive there soon. Commenting on the state of U.S. air bases overseas, Vandenberg said he found morale good "in spite of the mud and below par living of units in France." Prooer bases have not been built he explained. 10,000 Leftist-Led Koreans -Picket Offices in Tokyo TOKYO About 10,000 leftist- led Koreans marched peacefully in groups through Tokyo Monday and picketed the U.S. -Embassy, American Army headquarters and Jap anese government offices.

At the end of the program newsmen asked Harriman to explain his "trouble ahead" reference. Harriman replied that he meant that Malenkov is "the sort of man" whose rule might lead to internal difficulties in Russia and that these difficulties in turn might lead to "misadventures TAX DEADLINE MIDNIGHT MONDAY 'Meet 'Em With a Smile' Motto Backed by Humphrey WASHINGTON (3) Democratic National Chairman Stephen A.

Mitchell was interviewed on NBCs "Meet the Press" television show. Asked about reports of opposition within the party of his continuing as national chairman, Mitchell said he- was aware of opposition only from newspaper columnists.
