Articles in the Literary Gazette likened Pasternak to Judas. In the presence of Nikita Khrushchev a Young Communist League leader called him worse than a pig. Last Friday the tempo of the attacks increased and cries were raised in Moscow to exile Pasternak from the Soviet Union. Radio Moscow, broadcasting in 10 languages, declared: him go where he wishes to.

No Soviet man or woman wants to breathe the air he Hie Moscow section of the Soviet Writers Union held a five-hour meeting and adopted a resolution saying Pasternak is no longer fit to live in Russia. It urged the government to take away his Soviet citizenship. Call Him Decadent. The writers called Pasternak a who long ago severed his ties with life and the These public airings demanding expulsion suggested the Russians were preparing his ouster from Russia. Then on Saturday came this quick round of developments: Moscow radio reported Pasternak had written Premier Khrushchev himself, admitting he may have made mistakes and begging to be allowed to stay in Russia.

Then, the official news agency Tass announced Pasternak is free to go to Stockholm to receive the $41,420 Nobel prize. But, it said, Mr. Business Man! LOOKING FOR MORE WORK?

Pasternak first accepted the i prize with enthusiasm.

Last Wednesday, after the Soviet press raised its outcry against him, he declined the prize but in such Language as to put the blame clearly the society in which I He is living in loneliness and isolation, a pariah in his own country, unafraid apparently of the storm he has stirred. The drama of this unequal contest between one lonely man and the massively powerful; terror of the Soviet Communist party has stirred men everywhere. Yet Pasternak is not alone. Writers other than Pasternak have declared their desire for independence from the Soviet Communist party. A bitter struggle has gone on between the Kremlin and writers ever since death.

This is not the last phase. Paradoxically, the troubles the Kremlin has had with Soviet writers largely stem from the fact that post-Stalin governments have given the writers a considerably broader scope for freedom in their writing than Stalin did. Stalin dealt summarily with Soviet writers suspected of disloyalty. "Many both before and after World War II died in execution chambers or concentration camps. This terror subdued overt resistance but did not produce great literature.

successors were forced in the arts as elsewhere to relax Stalinist terror. The first three years after death this re: taxation took place only slowly, i Writers were still in general subjected to the closest censorship. The next phase began in February. 1956, with speech condemning Stalinist terror. This threw open the gates to rehabilitation of writers whom Stalin had condemned and also to publication of a number of works written in a different spirit.

This was The essential new element was appearance of short stories, poetry and novels which were as a whole severe criticism of the regime. De-Stalinization ended with the Hungarian revolt of November, 1956. The part Hungarian writers played in the revolt scared Khrushchev and he clamped down, but somewhat cautiously. Under this policy encouragement has been given writers who try to follow the party line. Those who do not have been subjected to various penalties all the way from gentle rebukes to deprival of possibilities of writing at all.

The essence of the situation is that Khrushchev has been trying to give writers enough freedom to enable them to create the kind of works the party not so much that they can shake or inconvenience the system. This leaves writers at the mercies of political exigencies. The Pasternak case erupting in this precarious situation will certainly cause a shift in policy, possibly toward stiffer restrictions on writers. The dilemma is that it get along without writers but also get along with them. It needs literature for propaganda and prestige but it fears literature as soon as the writers begin to dig down into Soviet reality and expose the falsehood of the Communist version of Soviet life.

The Pasternak case and the relations with writers in general in a way epitomize the over-all problem of the Soviet regime today. Stalinist terror has been rejected as inefficient and outmoded. But the regime is unwilling to go far on the path to constitutional freedoms guaranteed by law. Is there any halfway between rule by terror and rule by law? This is one of the questions Boris Pasternak has posed the Kremlin.
