...recent months informed sources in Belgrade and Warsaw have been proclaiming the existence of a "Stalinist" challenge to Khrushchev, allegedly headed by Theoretician Mikhail Suslov. Suslov, a grim-lipped fellow adept at writing manifestoes, may indeed be swimming in trouble instead of in the Black Sea, where Khrushchev said he was. But the evidence that he is the kind of man, or has the party strength, to offer an effective power challenge to Khrushchev is thin indeed...
...outside world knows little about the man who is generally ranked No. 2 to Mao Tse-tung. Greater headlines have gone to Chou En-lai and to Marshal Chu Teh, but the man next in line is presumed to be Liu Shao-chi, Moscow-trained party theoretician. Last week Red China published his 16,000-word keynote speech to the 19-day closed session of the eighth National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. His confident theme: "In the past the party concentrated its efforts mainly on socialist revolution . . . Now we can and must concentrate on socialist construction...
...after their walkout, the observers all returned to their seats, having read in advance the speech to be delivered by scholarly Edvard Kardelj, Tito's chief theoretician.

Moscow-trained Party Theoretician Liu Shao-chi, often regarded as No. 2 man in the hierarchy of Chinese Communism, was reportedly opposed to Mao's doctrine of letting all flowers bloom when it was first enunciated last year; so, apparently, was Premier Chou Enlai. Both were in the forefront of the counter-rectification...
Born in 1894 near Naples, Fraina was selling newspapers on Manhattan's Bowery at the age of six; he was a professional Socialist organizer at 15, at 20 a veteran "theoretician." On Sept. 1, 1919 the first convention of the Communist Party of America, in a little building in Chicago called "Smolny" (after the first GHQ of the Russian Soviets), elected Fraina its first International Secretary. He echoed Lenin's words-the new party must be a party of action. Yet within three years Fraina was out of the C.P.. was later hounded by false charges...
