C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 8, 1955 Ike Requests Federal Aid For Schools WASHINGTON (IP) Pre sident Eisenhower asked Congress today to authorize $1,120,000,000 in federal grants and loan guarantees to aid the states in carrying out a 7-billion-dollar school construction program over the next three years. In a special message to Con - gress, he said the program is ur gently needed “to give our school children as quickly as possible the classrooms they must have.’’ The President proposed his three year building program as an “emergency” measure to relieve a classroom shortage estimated by federal officials at 340,000 rooms. “Fundamentally, the remedy lies with the states and their commun ities,” he said, “but the present shortage of classrooms requires immediate and effective action that will produce more rapid re - suits.” TYPES OF AID • Here are the various kinds of federal aid the President recom mended: 1. An authorization for an appro priation of 750 million to purchase school bonds issued by local com munities. which arc “handicapped .-to #»ng bonds, at » jfflufmftjMe terest rate,” anything ovti 3 1-8' per cent. 2. An appropriation of 150 million to match funds put up by indivi dual states to set up school-build ing agencies. These agencies would undertake to build 6 billion dollars worth of schools over the next three years. 3. Authorization of an apprppria tion of 200 million in federal grants in- aid over’’the next three years to school districts economically un able to participate in the bond pro grams. 4. Appropriation of 5 million Im mediately as part of a three-year total of 20 million to finance long term planning by the federal gov ernment aid the states. (COURT RULES IN CASE WILMINGTON, Del.

Officers Destroy 28 Stills Harnett * During January rural police and constables in Harnett County destroyed a total of 29 illegal liquor stills, or just two stills short of an average of one capture every day of the month. However, not an arrest was made. Constables had 20 still captures to their credit; police only nine, but the later were quick to note that since the sheriffs office went on a 24 hour basis this has neces sarily kept two men out of the woods. Constables are paid on a fee' basis, police are on a salary.

S. Leaders Think Power Being Spread WASHINGTON (IP) Am erican authorities said to day the surprise elevation of Marshal Nikolai Bulganin to the Soviet premiership in dicates that the real power in Russia is being “spread out” among several top mofi in the Kremlin. That, they said, could be “less dangerous" to the West and to world peace than concentration of supreme authority in one Stalin like dictator. When word of Georgi Malenkov’s resignation first reached here, dip lomatic experts and congressional leaders called it as an ominous sign that Russia would adopt a tougher policy in world affairs. This appraisal was based on the almost-universal expectation that Nikita Khruschev, secretary of the Communist Party, would succeed Malenkov. “TOO EARLY TO KNOW" President Eisenhower and re publican congressional leaders dis cussed the Russian shakeup at length at their weekly legislative conference at the White House. Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland told newsmen the consensus was: “It is too early to know- just what the significance is tsdte same- little time ..be fore we know.” The State Department withheld official comment. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen reported the shakeup in a message from Mos cow but did not immediately offer any interpretation. There were indications that Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles and his stuff experts are taking a calm, though interested, view of the change. Dulles has said in the, past that whatever surface ripples occur, the basic attitude of Soviet rulers is hostility toward the West. NOT v“ STRONG MAN” The announcement of Bulganin’s election brought expressions of marked relief from authorities who are intimately concerned with Sov iet affairs. They said Bulganin, despite his army background, has not been regarded as a particular ly “Strong man” or militaristic type. Rather he has been the “political commissar” whose role in the Kremlin has been to main tain party control over the army. One expert said it is possible that Bulganin is primarily a “front man” for a ruling junta and that “the leader or leaders are standing in the background.” Khruschev, who nominated Bul ganin for premier, and Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov doubtless will remain “highly Important” in the Kermlin hierarchy, he said. In any event, authorities said, it appears that with Bulganin as premier there will be a spreading out of power, jvith the army amt the party both represented at the top, rather than a clear-cut emer gence of one all-powerful ruler like Stalin. U. S. leaders feel this kind of multiple leadership is less likely to take radical actions that might plunge the world into war than would be a single unchallenged dictator. SENATE LEADERS Congressional leaders were guarded in their appraisal of the sudden shift of Soviet leadership. Chairman Walter F. George (D- Ga.) of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee said it is “very difficult to tell” Just what the change will mean in terms of Soviet policy. A Mat h o Khaduie (hot ■ money should tovc jw«n spent for. The Record Is First IN CIRCULATION. .. NEWS PHOTOS. . ADVERTISING COMICS AND FEATURES FIVE CENTS PER COPY Russia Adopts Tough Policy Toward West MOSCOW <IP. Premier Georgi Malenkov resigned to day in a dramatic confession of “guilt” for mishandling Soviet affairs and was replaced by Marshal Nikolai Bul ganin. Then, speaking before the same Supreme Soviet that unanimously approved the shift in leadership, Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov bitterly attacked the West and the “insane notions” of the United States. The speech appeared to signal a tough new Russian po licy toward the West. “The foreign policies of the im perialists and of the United States above all are aggressive and are leading to a third world war," , Molotov said. He charged that the United States nourishes "insane notions" i of reclaiming Communist countries for captalism. The speech by Molotov was sig nificant for the additional reason that he is a long-time of the new Premier and regarded one of Bul ganin’s strongest backers. i TOUGH TOWARD WEST J Molotov’s bristling speech ap peared to confirm predictions in many foreign capitals that the top pling of Malenkov from power sig nalled the end of the “safter” policy and reforms which Malen kov had ordered following the death of the late Josef Stalin. • v The announcement of Bulganin selection was made to the Supreme Soviet only a few hours earlier by Nikita Khruschev, head of the Soviet Communist Party and con sidered by many observers to be the most powerful man in Russia today. Some Washington officials spec ulated that the selection of Bul ganin might mean a diffusion of Soviet power among several top leaders. This, they said, would be less dangerous to the West and to world peace than concentration of j (power in one Stalin-like leader. Bulganin assumed the highest post in the Soviet Union amid pledges he would return Russia to a policy of emphasis on heavy in dustry and agricultural develop ment. Malenkov, in assuming Stalin’s mantle, had scrapped those phases of Stalin's policy in favor of stepped-up consumer goods pro duction and a generally "softer” policy than Stalin had imposed. Khruschev told the Supreme So viet: “We are confident that the gov ernment headed by Comrade Ni kolai Belganin will insure the de velopment of heavy industry and at the same time light industry, food production and agricuture to an extent that will raise the stan . dard of living of the Soviet peo ple.” The election of Bulganin was at most as great a surprise as Malen kov’s resignation. Bulganin is a military administrator, lately turn ed politician, and a comparative newcomer to the Soviet political aristocracy. Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov or Khruschev had been considered the most likely successors to Mal enkov.
