e e e Shadow Legislature The Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union In session this week serves more as window dressing for those in power than as the bona fide legislative body it has pretended to be since 1937 when it was set up Characteristically when the session opened Wednesday the delegates cheered Premier Malenkov and are expected to rubber-stamthe budget and other matters as it did for the late Joseph Stalin Important policy statements often are made at f the Supreme Soviet sessions and a conditions often as to the inner-circl- e comes with those who appear on the platform and take part in the drama This is the first session since the purging of Lavrenti Berta as minister of internal affairs His removal is expected to be Yet it was only perfunctorily approved last March that Beria In glowing terms nominated Malenkov as premeir and Ma lenkov in turn nominated Rena as first deputy to the standing cheers of the delegates All authority in the USSR is supposed to rest with the Supreme Soviet Nominally it chooses high executive officials and members of the Supreme Court Like our Congress it has two chambers the Soviet of the Union like our House of Representatives and the Soviet of Nationalities corresponding roughly to our Senate except Members are that authority is illusory nominated by trade unions local soviets If nothing collective farms and so forth else however the size t1300i delegates prevents the Supreme Soviet from functioning p tip-of- efficiently Real authority is vested in the Politbureau the Communist Party organism This supreme body according to Emil Lengyel student of Russian affairs makes the highest level decisions that set government In its sessions issues are actually policy and threshed out Lenin reportedly argued was outvoted in the Politbureau on several Important Matters and we have testimony from Winston Churchill for one that Stalin had to reverse himself on occasion to conform with Politbureau decisions Decisions made behind closed doors in the Politbureau often come to light in the Supreme Soviet which meets ordinarily once a year notably to pass on the budget The Candid Sinless The story which We !burn Maycock former counel for the Democratic National Committee told a House committee Investigating tax scandals is very startling Seldom indeed has a witness been so candid 144 tro i:1'- V -' 'P t :f71- - Maycock said that he was paid $65000 from a businessman for getting a favorable tax ruling and then turned 830000 over to the 1948 Truman campaign fund He said he knew the donation was illegal but that he took a chance "because the party needed money" And he added that he had used "devious" methods many times to funnel contributions to the Democratic National Committee from persons who did not want their names listed The testimony demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the law regulating contributions to political funds Where there's a will there's always a way and Maycock can't possibly be the only person who has wriggled around the statutes What makes his But that does case unique is his candor not absolve him nor does it mean that he did not have accomplices The House committee appears to have struck a rich vein worth further exploration -
