Malenkov
MOSCOW, Feb. 8 (JP)—De
fense Minister Nicolai Bul
ganin, an army marshal, re
placed Georg' M. Malenkov as
premier of the Soviet Union
today. The change was cou
pled with a statement of foreign
policy criticizing the United States
as an aggressor, upholding Com
munist China's claims to Formosa
and presenting a picture of pos
sible hydrogen bomb warfare
which communism alone would
survive.

Bulganin was nominated for the
premiership at the afternoon ses
sion by Khrushchev, who received
a significant standing ovation.
Shortly thereafter Foreign Minis
ter V. M. Molotov went to the
rostrum in the great Kremlin Pal
ace, and while diplomats listened
in the packed and tense galleries,
grimly outlined the Soviet idea
of what would come from a hy
drogen-bomb war.
Molotov declared the Soviet
Union has developed hydrogen
bombs with "such success that the
United States could appear back
ward."
He said a comparison of the
true strength of the United States
and the Soviet Union would show
this nation is not he weaker par

wants to compete with the United
States in atomic matters only "in
using " atomic energy for peaceful
aims.

civilization will not perish but

Aspaturian Foresees
Soviet Dictatorship
The sudden resignation of Georgi Malenkov as Russian
premier signifies the breakdown of collective rule and the
resurrection of one-man dictatorship in Russia, Vernon V. As
paturian, assistant professor of political science, told The
Daily Collegian last night.
In commenting on Malenkov's
resignation and his replacement
by Marshall Nikolai Bulganin,
Aspaturian stated that the "real
power is not Bulganin, the new
f , r (ys e s inier, but Communist party
Nikita S. Khrushchev whose
records indicate that he is mak
ing the supreme bid for absolute
power."
When Malenkov resigned at a
joint session of the Supreme So
viet Parliament; 1.1 onfessmg failure
through inexperience, Khrushchev
immediately nominated Bulganin
as premier, and he got the post
by acclamation.
"It was Khrushchev who ful
filled Bulganin's appointment
and was probably the man behind
the arrest and execution of secret
chief Beria," Aspaturian revealed.
'Aspaturian is a specialist in So
viet affairs. He teaches Soviet for
eign policy. He was recalled to
active duty during the Korean
War as chief of the Russian desk
at the Intqlligence Division of the
Psychological Warfare Section of
the. UN and U.S. headquarters in
Tokyo. His job was to evaluate
Communist techniques and poli
cies and to give advice to UN

Bond OK'd
For Party
Violations
The All-University Elections
Committee last night proposed
that a $lO bond be set for each
party, which will be forfeited for
party violations during elections.
Earnest Famous, chairman of
the elections committee, will bring
this proposal before All-Univer
sity Cabinet next week as as
amendment to the All-University
Elections Code. Last fall penal
ties for violations were docking
candidates votes.
The elections committee may
require the party to forfeit the
bond, and may dock candidates
votes as it sees fit, if the proposal
is approved by Cabinet.
Earnest Famous, chairman of
the elections committee, an
nounced that the dates of
Spring elections will be March
30 and 31, rather than March
29 and 30, as erroneously re
ported by the Daily Collegian.
The amount of bond, tentatively
set at $lO, will be added to the
party budget. Each party must
have the bond deposited before
elections.
The committee also decided to
stamp matriculation cards for
clique meetings, rather than com
pile membership lists. Each party
will be responsible for its own
membership lists. Matriculation
cards will be stamped by mem
bers of election committee and
tickets distributed for the final
clique meetings.
It was decided at the meeting
that Sunday's Lion and Campus
Party clique meetings will be
open. It had been considered to
use membership lists from the
fall and spring elections.
