Malerikov May. Be Returning To Influence
In Kremlin, Allen Dulles Says At UC Dinner
en u es, m;erica s
spy chief, predicted here.. last
night that Georgi Malenkov,
former Soviet premier, "may be
comingback again to a position
of greater influence" in the
Kremlin.
.The director of Centr>ti In-
telligenc~ Agency, Washington,
also-said that Soviet dictator-
ship, by its emphasis ort indus-
try, technology and education,
may be sowing the seeds of its
own destruction.
Mr. Dulles, brother of Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles,
addressed the 22nd University of
Cincinnati Day dinner at the
Sherata;n-Gibson roof garden,
An pverfIow crowd attended the
went,. scheduled. to occur during
the 50t1t. anniversary of UC's co-
operatr eeducational system.
As of now, Mr. )aulles, said,
Americans should . realize that
in the technical, engineering and
industrial fields, "the ra'oviets
can achi~,ve any particular ob-
jective we can achieve."
,One of their goals, he de-
clared; is industrial parity with
the United States. But this will
not be within their reach "in
the near future," despite prog-
ress on the part of the Russians.
He also said that America is
in no immediate danger of at-
tack from Russia. '"As long as
we maintain a strong defense,
with lti ready potent[al for
'counter attack, war becotXies a
risky venture for anyone"` who
would resort to it" he added.
When Malenkov took over
Kremlin leadership in 1963 he
started a trend toward produc-
ing more consumer goods, ex-
plained Mr. Dulles. Then, pre-
sumably as the effect of this
began to be felt too dratically in
the field of heavy industry and
miitory preparedness, the trend
was substantially modified. In
the process Malenkov was de-
moted.
"Malenkov is still in the ~!olit-
buro," he asserted, "and he may
be coming back to a position of
greater influence."
Earlier in the day, Charles- F.
Bettering, inventive genius xnd
research consultant to General
Motors Corp,., praised the "co-
op" system of education because
it teaches a student what to do
with what he learns.
"It (the system) gets him out
of ivory tower and into the
shop where the Ph.D. is not. the
measure of whether a man can
or cannot do things," he said.
During a panel on "America's
Future Sceintists, Engineers and
Managers," Neil McElroy, pmesi-
dent of Procter & Gamble Co.
and chairman of the 1955 White
House Conference on Education,
called for more 'vision on the
part of leaders in' education. and
industry.
sSharig speaking honors with
Mr. McElroy were Dr. Mervin
J. Kelley, president, Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, New York
City,. and Laurence C. Hart,
vice president of the Johns-
Manville Corp., New fork City,
and national president of Junior
Achievement Inc. Charles R.
Hook, bard chairman of the
Armco Steel Corp., Middletown,
Ohio, was panel Chairman...
Mr. McElroy said, "Too much
vision sounds silly to us; ,not
enough usually sounds .sensible
and is deceptive for that :rea-
son." He added that he would
rather err with the visionaries
than "with the many, many 'ex-
perts' who pooh-poohed the
