...meeting in Calcutta, is an internal affair, civil conflicts on a rather large scale. "Much of the trouble occurred after Rus sian troops were withdrawn ... It was at this stage-something that is not quite clear-that the government almost ceased to function. The government split up, and one faction-maybe the bigger faction-called itself the government, and pushed the smaller faction and the Premier out. The new government invited the Soviet forces to come back and quell the disturbances. I am giving the facts without any comment. The Soviet forces thereupon came back and dealt with a heavy...
...encouraging sign by Democrats bent on recapturing Beacon Hill. With Democratic registration up 60,000 over 1952 and GOP totals down by 7,000, the Democrats are looking forward to an election in which their party regularity will be a significant asset.

Such a development, admittedly speculative but known to have been considered by the Khrushchev faction, still seemed a distant objective. Another suggestion, coming from Paris and Vienna, had it that Khrushchev, far from checking or reversing the destalinization program in deference to the Stalinist group, might be planning to accelerate it with the posthumous trial of Joseph Stalin. No newcomer to the ranks of rumor, this suggestion springs from a careful study of Khrushchev's Feb. 25 speech denouncing Stalin, much of which is couched in legalistic language...
