Now Premier as well as head of the massive, hardworking machine which is the Soviet Communist party, Khrushchev has consolidated his power to a point comparable to that held by Stalin during his years of dictatorship. The belief that has gained currency in the West that Khru shchev looks more favorably on religion than the old line Reds, in a myth. It grew up because in November 1 , 1954, Khrushchev, the master propagandist, called for a new strategy in the Sovi et’s approach to religion. But his declaration that the stepped-up anti-religious cam paign had been a failure was misinterpreted. He actually was initiating a new “soft” policy of seeing tolerance toward be lievers, but at the same time stepping up anti-religious prop aganda on the “scientific” level. It is believed that one major bone Khrushchev has had to pick, with Wladyslaw Gomulka, Polish communist party chief tain who came to power over Khrushchevs’ bitter opposition in October, 1956, has been over the question of religion. The Gomulka regime in Pol and has not only released the bishops and priests from jail, but restored religion classes to the schools. This, according to informed circles, is outright heresy in the eyes of Premier Khrushchev. Orthodox communist dogma spells out high in its creed that “religious superstitions” must be eliminated — and that means all religious belief. Khrushchev is outspoken in upholding this article of the Red creed. According to three American correspondents, who interviewed him last fall — William Ran dolph Hearst, Jr., Bob Consi- dine and Frank Conniff — the mere mention of God set the party boss off on a tirade. He was reported to have summed it up by saying that belief hi God makes for a situation which is “incompatible” with com munism. Premier Khrushchev is con-, sidered a brilliant strategist who has won his way to overlord ship in the communist world by the divide-and-conquer tech nique. Those who stood in his way are gone. First it was Beria, ousted and executed not long after Stalin’s death five years ago. Then Malenkov, Molotov, Kagranovitch and Zhukov were sent on the road to oblivion. But the drive against religious belief was not one of the issues at stake. It was first and always power. Now that Nikita Khru shchev has it all, his “scientif ic” demolition of faith may be given greater emphasis.
