il: 7V BAD SMEU IN THE SMELTING DEPARTMENT Editorial Page THE INDEX: JOURNAL Road For The Young In Russia Not Clear But Let None In West Believe Youth Is Rejecting Red System TUESDAY Aug. 28, 1962 Pag Four "CONVERSATIONS WITH STALIN" 'The New Class" has received world-wide attention as an effective indictment of the new privileged "class developed within the so-called "classless society." Now Milovan Djilas, its author, hat written "Conversations With Stalin," drawn from his war-time meetings with the Russian dictator. Djilas was a poet and revolutionary as a student in Belgrade, and suffered imprisonment and torture for his activities on behalf of the illegal Communist Party. "The New Class" brought a prison sentence from the Communist government of Tito. He was re-, leased in January of 1961 and now is back in prison for the book in-rolving Stalin.

Ironically enough, he Is in the same Belgrade prison where he was placed by anti-Communists. The first meeting with Stalin was in 1944 when Djilas was a partisan leader fighting German and Italian troops in his own country. He learned quickly in Moscow that Russia had little interest or understanding of their cause. cy have been increased with the creation of special courts authorized to confine children from age 11 to 19 in special "educational institutions." The Soviets themselves know sll of these things only too well. Thier information comes from official Soviet sources the government-controlled press and reflects a concern that cannot be hidden.

This "fourth generation," a phrase that began to circulate in Mowcow last summer, was brought up under the slogans and banners of a revolution already won. But the stereotype of "capitalist colonialism," which once seemed so pointed and all-consuming, now seems terribly out of date in an era made enormously complex by political and technological change. Young Soviets have lived through the denouement of the infallible Stalin the man ordi. nary Soviets call "he who waa" and the Soviet press calls the "head of the Soviet state at thai time." For these youngsters witnessed the bewilderment of parents ex posed to the bitter revelations of the cult of personality. It is more than possible that all this has made the younger generation cynical and resentful of an older generation that failed.

But let no one in the West be lieve the younger Soviet genera tion is ready to reject the only social system it knows. That po-sibility is remote. But the road ahead is far from clear. 4 Tragic Butterfly Both the Vatican and Billy Graham have pointed to the death of Marilyn Monroe as a symbol of the faults and falsities of the Hollywood way of life. Undoubtedly her death makes dramatic material for sermons as well as newspaper copy.

Still nothing is more obvious in terms of her heredity and her mishandled childhood than that her fame and glamor were only incidents on the way to her death. Marilyn Monroe may not have contributed to the morality of our time. But she was obviously a victim of deranged ancestry with which science has not learned to deal and a mishandling by society as an abandoned illegitimate child. The only wonder is that she was beautiful and as an actress contributed to the entertainment of the world. Perhaps this always really tragic butterfly deserves now to be impaled to point a moral.

The real moral in her life at her death is the inability of science and society to serve so pitiful a child as she was before she rose Into glamor and public attention. RALEIGH N. C.

During his absence his column will be written by reporters expert fas national and international affaire.) By DAVID MILLER MOSCOW A generation born and nurtured under the realities of Marxism-Leninism is beginning to mature in a world torn by the most convulsive struggle in modern history. Who are they, these teen-agers and young adults on whom the hopes of the Soviet Union and communism rest? Is there really a "new" Soviet man, a figure idealized as mankind's wave of the future? Of all the criteria used to evaluate the Soviet Union, few are as important to the West The consequences are enormous, for an integral part of Soviet philosophy is Lenin's dictum that a new kind of man will throw off the vestiges of present bourgeois life and emerge as a cleansed, heroic figure. By any test of courage and technical excellence, the Soviet Union's four cosmonauts meet every requirement. Near them must be ranked thousands of others, the lesser known who are dedicated to building a new society. But the same cannot be said of the broad base of young Soviets.

Interest in the material far-outweighs the spiritual appeal of sacrifice and devotion which once explained very inconvenience and shortage. Young people in increasing numbers are leaving the rueged, primitive life of the virgin lands, the massive attempt to bring agricultural fruits to marginal land. The hardships are simply too much. Fewer and fewer young Soviets willingly accept assignments in the desolate Far East. The best jobs are in Moscow and Leningrad and everyone knows it.

So few young Soviets have gone into teaching Marxism-Leninism that a serious shortage has developed both on the university level and in Communist party and youth organizations. Membership in Komsomol, the Young Communist League, has remained relatively unchanged for the past eight years, despite an increasing pool of potential members. For every Soviet between 14 and 28 who joins, two do not. Enrollment stands at 19,400,000 (of the 52 million eligible), but only because the minimum age was lowered last April from 15 to 14 and penalties for lax mem-en were downgraded. No one now is expelled because of failure to pay dues.

The older members continue to leave. Young writers, although praised for their freshness, lack of prejudice, and personal observation, are continually criticized for their inability1 to think "profoundly, largely, and socially." In all of the new Soviet literature there has yet to emerge a single figure capable of being regarded as a heroic representation of the new generation. The older generation finds the characterization intellectually and socially immature. Penalties for juvenile delinquen Love And Marriage? You Can Have One Without The Other And Last "Moscow could never quite understand," he writes, "the realities of the revolution in Yugoslavia, that is, the fact that in Yugoslavia simultaneously with the resistance to the forces of occupation a domes- tic revolution was also going on. The Partisans in the Soviet Union an auxiliary, quite incidental force of the Red Army, and they never grew into a regular army.

On the basis of their experience, the Soviet leaders could not com lution and its Communist influence." Djilas returned to Moscow in 1945 and again in 1948, the latter year in a futile attempt to head off the break with Russia. The crudity of the Russian leaders appalled him. A railroad car reserved for Russian leaders had "the pomp of Tsarist days." But the conductor in the car kept in his compartment a chicken which laid eggs. "What is one to do, comrades? A working man must make out as best he can. I have a big family and life is hard." Djilas is more interested in how "such a dark, cunning and cruel individual" as Stalin could ever lead a great nation for 30 years, than he is in a catalogue of Stalin's crimes.

His "The ruling party followed him doggedly and obediently until, carried away by power, he began to sin against it as well. Today this is all it reproaches him for, passing in silence over his many greater and certainly no less brutal crimes against the 'class enemy' the peasantry and the intelligentsia, and also the left and right wings within the party and outside of it. And as long as that party fails to break, both in its theory and especially in its practice, with everything that comprised the very originality and essence of Stalin and of Stalinism, namely, with the ideological unitarianism and called monolithic structure of the Party, it will be a bad but reliable sign that it has not emerged from under Stalin's shadow. Despite the curses against his name, Stalin still lives in the social and spiritual foundations of the Soviet society." Djilas has the advantage of writing about the Communists as one who was admitted to the highest party circles. "Conversations with Stalin" is an intensely interesting report.

Risky Business A haul of $1.5 million from a mail truck seems like easy money. But Benjamin Franklin set up a good detective service as part of his contribution as first postmaster general, and it is still effective. Last year postal, inspectors arrested 32 persons for mail holdups, and 31 were found guilty. It made 4,001 arrests for mail burglary and mailbox lootings and got 3,776 con- victions. In case anybody is considering following the example of the Plymouth, group, a mandatory 25-year jail sentence is imposed for armed postal robbery.

Enormous Political Confusion Astonishing Fact In N.Y. By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY It was said, by savvy politicians, that no matter what happened elsewhere, the Democrats had to win In California and New York State if President Kennedy was to be re-elected in 1964. It was therefore presumed mat the Democrats would do everything possible and sensible to hold those states. In California, they renominated Governor Brown and by all accounts, he will be re-elected.

In that state there seemed to be leadership. In New York State, they are scraping the bottom of a herring barrel for a candidate. It looks as though they are now between Joe Doaks and Elmer Zilch. In fact, It looks as though the Democratic politicians are using the telephone book to find a candidate to oppose Nelson Rockefeller and Jacob Javits. Every day, they come up with a new unknown, with somebody that has a name that is known to some people but not to too many.

It has been suggested by some that James Farley would make a fitting candidate. He has an excellent reputation. He has been in New York State politics for half a century. He has not stolen any money from anybody. He does not lie.

But I should imagine that by now, a man of his calibre and significance must regard himself as insulted by his own party which seems to be going into the by-ways and ditches to find a candidate and to pass him by. It is an amazing performance and must give Governor Nelson Rockefeller cause for amusement and laughter. Rockefeller was a defeated man last winter. His divorce was a nasty business and offensive to Americans who regard the family as an institution worthy of preservation. It is not so today that Rockefeller can easily be defeated.

The Democrats have failed to recognize that the parochial and sub-parochial characters whom they dip up, subject to trial and error test, cannot be elected if they run against John Doe because neither their virtues nor vices are known to the populace. The most recent name to be bandied about is that of the U.S. Attorney Robert Morgenthau. a novice. His father was Secretary of the Treasury under Franklin D.

Roosevelt. His father's chief assistant was Harry Dexter White. Hl grandfather, our Ambassador of Turkey, was a man of quality worthy of any office. It is because of this ancestry that Henry Morgenthau's name is mentioned. Concerning himself, very little is known, except that he was given a political appointment.

He might be a good man or not it is difficult to know. But he is no match for Nelson Rockefeller who can snow him under. This is a startling situation because It is assumed that the Kennedys are very astute politicians who know how to handle people and get out the vote- In the New York gubernatorial situation, they have given no evidence of skill or even understanding of their own potentialties. They are risking defeat in New York State in 1964, for no good reason whatsoever, except that nobody seems to know what to do. It might be said, naively, that New York is a sovereign state and the Democrats there can nominate whomever they choose and that the Kennedys, being from Massachusetts, will not interfere.

There is no realism In that Nobody can be nominated by the Democrats in New York without the consent and good-will of Presi ident Kennedy and apparently the President has no candidate of his own and men organize to be announced to him through the press or by other means. Each aspirant assumes that aa. there is no one else who can be elected, perhaps he will be chosen as the least of nonentities. Sooner or later, someone must be chosen, Zilch, Do Ices. Jones.

Smith or the leader of the Vegetarians. One of two candidates can de- feat Nelson Rockefeller and eliminate him from the 1964 Presidential race. One Is Robert F. Wagner the Mayor: the other is James Farley, the former Postmaster General. Perhaps neither wants the Job.

but if nominated, either holds the good-will of the people of theState. An attempt has been made to convince Jim Farley to run for United States Senator. Usually he that that does not attract his interest. It is astonishing that iri an enormous state like New York there is so much political confusion. problems arising from differences which must be considered, analyzed and solved by recommendations applicable to the particular needs." Although successful marriage eludes a formula approach, there are guide lines for new generations.

"Success," writes Dr. Brill, "occurs much more often when the childhoods of the couple were happy, when they had no serious conflicts with their mothers, when the discipline to which they were exposed was firm but not harsh, and when their parents were happily married. Youthfulv marriges more likely end in divorce not just because of age but because of emotional immaturity. Of course a great many older persons are just as immature if we judge them by their lack of flexibility or continual search for romance. The real person is seen only when lived with, with the social veneer removed." The basic problem of marriage, according to Dr.

Clifford Kirk-patrick, Indiana University sociologist, is that we all expect to eat our cake and have sit. He says: "The couples who best succeed are those who develop the wisdom and strength of character oi outgrow unrealistic expectations and to recognize that marriage, like everything else in life, involves its dilemmas, its price for everything we get. FROM MEDICINE AT WORK prehend that the Yugoslav Partisans were capable of turning an army into a government, and that in time they would develop an identity and interests which differed from the Soviet in short, their own pattern of life." Stalin also was, anxious to conceal from the British and other Allies that he was "taking advantage of the misfortunes of war in the occupied countries to spread revo; Some Changes Will Come Time may make international matters better or worse, but it seems certain that it will make some changes in the cast of characters. Consider the facts: Dr. Knn- survey that their patients did indeed blame these things for their family difficulties.

But, the physicians concluded, only the fast named point approached the real truth of the matter. 6. The origin, then, lies elsewhere in stated complaints. Infidelity? More freedom enjoyed by today's woman? Decline in religious authority? Modern emphasis of romantic love? Greater mobility of individuals? Drinking? Nagging? Selfishiness? Untruthfulness? "All superficial," states the previously mentioned Los Angeles report. "For example, infidelity in itself is rarely a cause of divorce, is often the excuse to sever a relationship that was tenuous to begin with.

Excuses given publicly for divorces are not the real reasons or the whole story." What is the most frequent actual cause of marriage shatter? "There Is none," replies Attorney Bliss Kelly, president of the world-renowned Oklahom City Family Clinic. "Each individual is different, and each couple has Senate Proves Filibuster Not Unconquerable The Senate has proved it again. It proved that the filibuster la no unconquerable dragon. In this column we have passed along on several occasions the comment of Senate observers of long standing that a filibuster has often been used effectively to kill bad legislation but has never been used to kill really good legislation in pressing need by the country. The reason is simple.

If legislation is highly questionable, a filibuster often calls sufficient attention to its faults so it dies the death it deserves. But if legislation Is good, a filibuster may call attention to that fact and marshall the strength necessary either to wear out the filibuster or overcome it by debate limitation. CHATTANOOGA NEWS FREE PRESS What factors foredoom a marriage? What rules spell success? What is the best treatment for a floundering family? Pat answers can be as deceptive as the singsong belief that love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage (sorry, but you can have one without the other.) Also commonly accepted but not necessarily valid are these beliefs: 1. Careful psychologic testing and trial marriage insure wedded bliss. A recent medical study in Los Angeles discredits both: "Tests may reveal psychopatho-logical states, but there is no exact relationship between psy-chopathology and marital failure.

Nor is there valid evidence that trial marriage is effective." 2. Incompatible marriages can never endure. Drs. Marietta Houston and R. B.

Forman of the Menninger Foundation found un-shaking durability in 12 longstanding discordant marriages. Another psychiatrist. Dr. Norman Q. Brill, considers a related aspect of inter-relationship.

He says: "Because of the way certain personalities interact, neurotic people can make good marriages, while many relatively healthy persons contract unhappy unions." 3. Divorce is a tap root of juvenile delinquency. Not invariably so, insists Justine Wise Polier, justice of Domestic Relations Court in New York City. He told the New York Academy of Medicine recently: "The vast majority of children who become delinquent, disturbed or mentally ill are not of divorced parents, but more often come from one-parent homes broken by death, illness, separation or abandonment of one of the partners." 4. Detailed sex knowledge helps to qualify one for mrriage.

"This is questionable," editorializes the Journal of the Iowa Medical Society. "In secondary schools and colleges, young people should receive formal instruction on the meaning of marriage." 5. Most marital crises arise from "money, sexual maladjustment, lack of affection, fear of pregnancy, in-laws, and inability to discuss domestic problems.
