Stalin's Successor Reported Chosen
Press Lavishes Praise On Georgi Malenkov
New York, Jan. 8.
Moscow's Press left little doubt today that the successor to Josef Stalin has been chosen and that he is the glowering man of the Politburo, Georgi Maximolanovitch Malenkov.
дя
Extravagant pruise was heaped on him on his 50th birthday. It is comparabic only to the praise accorded Stalin himself. The greeting to him from the Communist Party and the Council of Ministers halls him "co-adviser of Stalin"--the highest possible praise in the USSR. It also credits him with having "forged history for our homeland in the greal war of the fatherland against the enemies of humanity."

TIME NOT RIPE
Washington, Jan. 8.
Prime Minister
President Truman and Winston Churchill agree that the time is not ripe for any early top level cold war talks with the Soviet Premier, Josef Stalin, it was revealed today.
The disclosure came
as the two principal Western leaders started a move to harmonise the United States and British policy in the troubled areas of the Middle East, Far East and Southeast Asia to prevent "another Korea." But their second day of the talks found President Truman and Mr Churchill still deadlocked over the issue of withdrawing British recognition of Communist China.
American and British sources said that chances of a Big Three or Big Four meeting at the highest level had been vetoed by the President and Mr Churchill in informal talks aboard Mr Truman's yacht on Saturday night. These sources said that Mr Truman and Mr Churchill had agreed that war matters can be dis- cussed at the United Nations.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Mr Vyshinsky's Designs
which has been THE attention
directed during the early days of the New Year towards the Far East from such widely scattered capitals as Moscow, Paris, London, Washington and Tokyo cannot be dismissed as insignificant. While Premier Stalin offers personal felicitations to the people of Japan, his United Nations spokesman, Mr Vyshinsky, endeavours to have the Korean truce talks trans- ferred from the tents at Pan Mun Jom to
in the Security Council Paris. Simultaneously Mr Truman and Mr Churchill meet in Washington for dis- cussions on global affairs with particular reference to the whole Far East situation, and Mr Yoshida, the Japanese Premier, makes a public announcement concerning future Japanese relations with China. The timing and dovetailing are interesting and have aroused considerable speculation. In London, some fears have been expressed that Stalin's message to the Japanese was a calculated move to throw some dis- order into the Truman-Churchill talks, but if such were the intention, it appears to have misfired completely. Of more importance is Mr Vyshinsky's Korea "peace offensive" in Paris. It is subtle and not 器 little worrying. The impression given is that Mr Vyshinsky is pulling the strings from both ends. Dismissal of his argument that more rapid progress towards a truce in Korea could be brought about by consideration of the subject in the Security Council does not mean acceleration of progress at Pan Mun Jom. On the contrary a velled hint is contained in the Vyshinsky proposals that refusal to accept them will Involve farther atalling by the Communiste in the current on-the-spot truce parleya. And some substance fe given to this interpretation by the United Nations negotiators who now
that
| Reds are showing indifference fait
On such questions as airfields and the exchange of prisoners of war the United Nations delegates have made a number of concessions and revisions to their original propositions which have been haughtily rejected by the Communists. Moreover requests for alternative reasonable suggestions from the Reds have met with no response. The con- clusion to be reached is that the Com- munists in Kores are taking their cue from Moscow and that if called upon to do so they will finally wreck the Pan Mun Jom negotiations. Mr Vyshinsky has laid great emphasis on the need for a quick solution to the present Korea impasse, but without saying so in as many words, he has his own price-a political victory in Paris by acceptance of his proposal to have negotiations transferred to the Security Council. If this is not forthcoming, Mr Vyshinsky and his Kremlin colleagues will make no effort to help progress at Pan Mun Jom; on the contrary they can be expected to redouble. their endeavours to sabotage the truce talks and render agreement Impossible. This is the possibility which Mr Truman and Mr Churchill have had to consider in the course of their discussions on the Far Eust, knowing full well that the most pressing and immediate problem in this part of the world is to compose affairs in Korea. Future Sino-Japanese relations and new threats to the security of Indo-China have their own impor tance, but both are subordinate to the Korea problem which, in view of Mr Vyshinsky's attitude at Paris, has taken on a new and more dangerous complexion. The Chinese Communists- may be alive to the fact that the Kremlin is striving to use them as In a bly political gamble, but if they do not appreciate this, it may well be that the Pan Mun Jom negotiations. will break down completely at the
