He disagreed with reporters who suggested he might be out of step with the White House and State Department, both of which had voiced essentially negative reactions. Soviets Told MOSCOW, May 18 (JP)—A generation of Soviet .youth nurtured on Joseph Stalin worship, with the idea that Stalin was Nickola Lenin's most beloved disciple, got a new version . today—that Lenin con demned Stalin in 1923. This came about in the most savage assault on Stalin yet pub lished here. It was in Komsomol Pravda, Soviet youth paper. A column c ailed "A Children's Guide to Stalinism," assertedly written in response to letters from children, related that Lenin had warned the Communist party against Stalin. Words of Lenin It used words taken from the famous document usually known as the "Testament for Lenin," the revolutionary leader Communists hold by. . Some of Lenin's harsh words on Stalin were cited in Pravda on Nov. 2, 1927—in a speech by Sta lin.himself. This speech was made at the party meeting where Stalin scored his final victory over his archenemy Leon Trotsky—forcing Poweil's Secretary Gu ilty Of Income Tax Evasion NEW YORK, May 18 (W)—Rep.

Lenin penned his attack on Sta lin in December 1922 and January 1923, over a year before Lenin died but at a time when he was partly incapacitated. He wrote that Stalin was "too rude" and that this trait was in tolerable in the office of Commu nist general secretary. He said Stalin's comrades should find a way to replace him in this office with someone more patient, loyal, polite and attentive to comrades— and less captious. Stalin - Stopped.

Stalin Too Rude U.S. investigating Egyptian Arms Deal WASHINGTON, May 13 (,P)—Lincoln White, state de partment press officer, said today the department is investi gating rumors that Egypt is making a deal to obtain a new supply of Communist bloc arms from Red China. The State Department has no confirmation of the rumors so far, White told a news con ference, but he added, "You will recall there were rumors before the official confirmation of the Czech arms deals with Egypt and with Syria?' The Egyptian government of Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser rec ognized the Chinese Red regime Wednesday. White Declines Comment White declined any comment on that action. Other State Depart ment officials have said privately that they feared it might mean recognition of Red China by other nations in the nine-member Arab League of which Egypt is a leader. Egypt made a deal almost a year ago to buy arms from Czech oslovakia. The original trade was 80 million dollars worth of arms in exchange for Egyptian cotton. Later reports said the total amount of arms thus obtained by Nasser probably far exceeds 100 million dollars worth. Equipment Listed The deliveries included 200 jet fighters and 50 bombers, 200 tanks and half a dozen submarines. The Czech deal has been report ed by diplomats here as due to ex pire by July 1 but a new trade with Red China would keep the arm flow going. That would introduce a new and dangerous element into the Mid dle East situation at a time when American officials and United Nations leaders have said there is a rC'al chance of stabilizing the armistice set between the Arab states and Israel and beginning work on a more permanent settle ment. the life of the people_ He started acting not by persuasion and ex planation but by order and com pulsion." The article concluded, "The Communist party has now straight forwardly and openly told the people about the harm done to our country by the cult of per sonality of J. V. Stalin."

PAGE THREE Decision Due Today on GOP State Chairman PHILADELPHIA, May 18 (tP)— A head-on intra-party clash be tween the Republican forces head ed by 'U.S. Sen. James H. Duff and National Committeeman G. Mason Owlett was down for deci sion here tomorrow—with the se lection of a state chairman the specific point in issue. Owlett, now recuperating from a heart attack, has declared him self a candidate for another term as GOP national committeeman. Duff is running for re-election to the Senate this year. Owlett Backing Bloom Owlett is backing George Bloom, Washington, Pa., attorney and ad ministrative assistant to Duff's senior Senate colleague. Edward P. Martin. Du f f--and the party's other statewide candidates--at a re cent meeting plumped for Henry Lark, of Sunbury, who served as Republican primary election cam paign manager this year. The formal selection of the state chairman won't come until the full state committee meets at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel here to morrow morning. But the practi cal spadework is expected to be done at a closed-door session to night, a session that should de termine whether there will be a battle royal or a smoothing over of the crisis. Duff and Owlet! at Odds Duff and Owlett—long at politi cal odds—outwardly settled their differences in the pre-primary weeks, but the gap between them was widened again by the split over the chairmanship. Beyond that was the question of the gen eral election campaign. Bloom was looked on by some as an odds-on favorite, partly on the grounds he is the sort of prac tical politician who doesn't de clare his availability until assured of victory. 40 Cars in Two Weeks PITTSBURGH, May 18 ►-- Three young boys were ques tioned today by police who said the trio has admitted stealing 40 cars in a two-week period in the Pittsburgh area.
