22nd Communist Congress Dramatized Split in Party
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
The Communist Party wound up its 22nd Congress last week with a display of heavy-handed humor on the part of Secretary Nikita Krushchev and a split in party ranks whose effect on the future only could be guessed.
Almost lost in the pyrotechnics of the world's mightiest bomb and Khrushchev's marathon attacks upon Albania, the "anti-party" members and the memory of Josef Stalin was the subject which had been billed as the most important on the congress agenda.
THAT WAS THE new party program, the first since Lenin's time, charting the course of Communism for the next 20 years.
In the Communist Utopia of 20 years hence, Khrushchev promised to multiply gross national product five times, industrial production six times and agricultural output three and a half times.
He promised each Russian family its own rent-free apartment and each Russian "nearly three pairs of shoes per year."
SOVIET SCIENTISTS had made a mistake, he said. The 50 megaton bomb they planned turned out to be even more powerful than expected.
On Tuesday, after two weeks of oratory, the Congress closed on a jovial note from Khrushchev.
"But," he said, "We won't punish them (the Russian scientists) for it."
While the free world universally condemned Khrushchev for his nuclear terror tactics, perhaps of more far reaching effect was the revelation of the deep split within the party.
After a long recitation of the sinfully murderous ways of Stalin and his struggle against the anti-party group which would have continued

the Stalin methods, he switched to small and of little value Albania.
ALBANIAN LEADER Enver Hoxha, he said, remained Stalinist, and he added:
"We cannot make a concession on that fundamental point, either to the Albanian leaders, or to anyone else."
The "anyone else" soon became apparent.
In the applause which followed Khrushchev's attack, Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai sat on his hands. When his turn came, Chou arose to denounce Khrushchev's "public denunciation" of Albania and to say that such an approach "can only distress friends and delight our enemies."

Wagner Wins
Bv United Press International
NEW YORK CITY — Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner was elected to a third term by a plurality of some 400,000 votes over Republican Louis J. Lefkowitz, who had the strong backing of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
The victory established Wagner as the state's most powerful Democrat. Rockefeller called the GOP showing a victory of sorts, pointing out that Lefkowitz cut Wagner's victory margin of four years ago by a half-million votes.
New Jersey — Democrat Richard J. Hughes, virtually a political unknown and the underdog, won the governorship in an upset defeat of James P. Mitchell, Secretary of Labor under President Eisenhower.
Both President Kennedy and Eisenhower had campaigned in the state for their party's gubernatorial candidates.

refused to join in the general chorus of denunciation.
At the root of Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin, of the "anti-party" members and of Albania was an intra-party quarrel of nearly two years duration.
It is the conflict over the Khrushchev policy of co-existence as a "creative" development of the Marxist-Leninist theory as opposed to Red China's insistence on the inevitability of war so long as opposition to socialism exists.
INVOLVED ALSO is the Red Chinese challenge to Khrusnecv or leadership in the Communist world, particularly in Asia.
When, if ever, Red China could challenge the Soviet Union in a power struggle, must be a matter of conjecture. But even now, it stands as a rallying point for Khrushchev's enemies at home and abroad.
