Indications Mount That Marshal Zhukov Staged
Show-Down Battle Over Kremlin i^ower, Policies
By TOM OCHILTREE
LONDON, l#>—Indications grew
today that Marshal Georgi Zhu- .
kov had rallied unexpected sup
port in a showdown battle over
power and policies inside the Cen
tral Cpmmittee of the Soviet Com
munist Party.
The delay in announcing a de
cision cn whether Zhukov would
remain a member of the ruling
party Presidium, or -Politburo,
contributed to an impression that
a battle was on between the mar
shal and Soviet party boss Nikita
Khrushchev.
Tight Censorship
The impression was heightened
by the tight Moscow censorship.
Even the Communist press outside
the Soviet Union seemed confused
by the blackout on information.
Hints of a behind-the-scenes
struggle came from editorials in
Soviet newspapers, impressions of
Western diplomats in Moscow and
dispatches from Communist cor
respondents in the Soviet capital.
Inferences were drawn from re
ports the Central Committee had
been meeting off and on since the
61-year-old marshal’s ouster as
defense minister Saturday. It had
been expected to make an impor
tant announcement Tuesday.
Mechanical Delay
However, news correspondents
j with experience in Moscow said
1 the delay on any public announce
| ment may be due simply to the
i mechanics of giving advance word
of the decision to party oommit
! tees thruout the country,
j Zhukov was removed from the
j 15-man party Presidium which he
joined as a full member only four
months ago.
Editorials in the Communist
press indicated the marshal was
being accused of interfering with
party control of the army.
An Intriguing Possibility
The lack of an announcement
suggested he may have staged a
counterattack in the six-story
stone building in the heart of
Moscow where the Central Com
mittee meets.
Even if Zhukov eventually is
vanquished, Western quarters are
intrigued by indications the tough
marshal had been able to put up
a fight.
Same Battleground
The stage of the battle was the
same as last June when Khrush
chev is reported to have appealed
to the Central Committee, after
en adverse decision in the Presid
ium, and won out over the three
stalwarts: V. M. Molotov, Georgi
Malenkov, and Lazar Kaganovich.
By this appeal in June Khrush
chev may have set a precedent by
which some Central Committee
members got the idea they had a
veto over the Presidium.
Rehabilitation of Purged Traito
It seemed clear Zhukov and
Khrushchev had clashed on at
least three points:
1. Zhukov, a professional sol
dier, had sought to hold down the
influence of Communist political
workers in the ranks of the armed
forces.
Purged Traitors
2. Zhukov had insisted louder
than anyone else on the rehabili
tation of the memories of Red
army leaders purged as traitors
by Stalin in the 1930s. The mar
shal apparently carried no per
sonal guilt in these purges, but
Khrushchev and other top party
people presumably do.
Caution Instinct Aroused
3. Khrushchev’s bold moves in
th.e Middle East, particularly his
fanning of the crisis over Syria,
had aroused the instincts of cau
tion of Zhukov and perhaps of
other army men.
The usually well-informed Da
nish newspaper, Copenhagen’s
Information, quoted diplomatic
sources yesterday as saying that
Khrushchev some time ago toyed
with a plan to send Zhukov to
Washington as Soviet ambassador.
“However, this met with oppo
sition from Zhukov himself, who
presumably interpreted it as an
attempt to remove him from the
Soviet Union in a painless way,”
said the paper.
Sputnik and Rocket Visible in
Alaska But Not in United States
By DON GUY
CAMBRIDGE. Mass., iff)—A
Chattanooka, Tenn., moonwatch
team reported it saw the Russian
satellite rocket fall Monday night
but the Smithsonian Astrophysi
cal Observatory said Tuesday it
must have b£en a big meteorite.
Altho no moonwatch teams have
reported sightings since the one
Monday night from Tennessee,
Smithsonian astronomers said that
both the rocket and Sputnik are
orbiting the earth high enough to
remain safe from death in the
atmosphere for a month or more.
The Chattanooka team said it
saw a bluish streak lasting several
seconds.
Visible in Alaska
Alaska and Canada—neither of
which have organized moonwatch
teams in operation—are the only
areas in North America where the
baby “moons” can now be seen.
Two sightings of the rocket on
Monday in Australia were report
ed, one from the observatory at
Mount Stromlo, near Canberra,
and again at Adelaide.
The United States should re
ceive good views of the rocket
again late in November and in
early December it should be visi
ble thruout both morning and
evening, Smithsonian observers
said yesterday.
No Collision Possible
The rocket, which is circling
! the earth every 94.87 minutes,
lapped the satellite at 12:24 p.m.
PST yesterday over the South
Pacific.
Because they are traveling at
different altitudes, officials said
there was no chance of the rocket
colliding with the satellite, which
makes a circuit of the globe every
95.44 minuutes.
