The City does not however italian reds Challenge Kremlin s authority Paris a communist party s stinging slap at Moscow is another link in Achain of evidence suggesting that the Kremlin is feeling the by William l. Ryan the italian the backs of the yugoslavs an romanians it can also have Strong repercussions in Czecho Slovakia whose current communist regime already is hav delayed Impact of the Thrush ing considerable trouble Persuad Chev Era and probably paying for its efforts to reverse it. Meeting in Bologna Italy s influential party openly and emphatically challenged the Krem Lin s renewed claim to a monopoly of authority Over the inter National communist movement. The Bologna rebellion has thrown the so called Brezhnev doctrine Back into the Teeth of the Moscow parly s general Secretary Leonid i.  could conceivably be a severely damaging blow to his prestige abroad and to his Posi Tion in the soviet Union. What is going on now in the communist bloc and among the influential parties is a Continua Tion of what Nikita s. Khrushchev began As far Back as1955, when he promised marshal Tito of Yugoslavia that the Kremlin would Honor Yugo Slavia s right to its own style of development. That along with Khrushchev s1956 speech dethroning the dead Stalin from his Demigod Perch began a process which the so Viet party with All its Power and authority has been unable to halt. Only recently Tito Hada Summit meeting with Nicolae Ceausescu the communist chief of Romania which also has been asserting its right to develop internally on us own Model. The two clearly dispute Moscow s right to occupy and dictate to Czechoslovakia. Now the italian party mos numerous and powerful outside the soviet orbit has denounce the soviet occupation of Czecho  can Only serve to stiffen ing the country to toe the soviet line. The italian party s stand i Likely to find an Echo in a score of other parties at what is most awkward time for Moscow. The soviet party at present is trying to arrange an International communist meeting format to demonstrate to the world that the movement is United an listens to Moscow. All this presents the soviet party with difficult dilemmas. In a situation where the part leadership is apparently divided it can Lead to a quarrel Over who is to blame. The blame easily could fall upon Brezhnev himself. On sept. 26, Brezhnev issued his doctrine holding that communists must regard inter National and National Law As subordinate to the Laws of class struggle and social devel  romanians and Yugo slavs and now the italians reject this. Other parties find it embarrassing since it assert sin effect that any country ruled by communists must be soviet satellite. The present soviet leaders can blame Khrushchev for implant ing the idea that Moscow was fallible. Today a careful but steady Effort can be detected Tor polish the Stalin image As if in a belated Effort to repair some of the damage. But for Moscow s purposes re establishment of some of the aspects of stalinism can be double edged sword. It can have Strong political repercussions both outside and inside Russia. The soviet party was Divide Don the invasion of Czecho Slovakia. Pay the jurors for their  eight deputies who watch the jurors Are equipped with sidearms shotguns night Sticks and direct radio communication to police Headquarters. Comics Here Are frequently Richie jurors Are allowed to on the Back of the front pane read newspapers but Only aft Rall references to the Shaw trial Are eliminated. This sometime causes another hardship. The programs. Where the Shaw Story  jurors Are allowed of watch television but not news letters to the editor worst weather morale your column has carried Many subjects but i d like to add another to the list Hannab. I m sure it s no secret that we have the worst weather in Germany but More importantly we have the worst morale. Every third saturday of the month is set aside for general military training. We have the regular stand Bys Judi details too. Today though was the Topper. The 24th, usually a Day off is now a work Day. Things Are pretty bad but the sad part is it s not improving. Maybe we deserve it i Don t know. I like my Job and feel Theair Force experience i have will be of value to me when i get out. Other than getting a three year hitch on this base i Don thave much to complain about. I won t re up though. The Mere thought of another tour Here is enough to make up my  think a lot of other first and last Wermers feel the Way do. I m not in the army and quit Happy about that. I know they have it worse. I m in the air Force because i know it s the Best service we be got. I reheard Many career men say Hahn is the Hole of the air Force. Sgt. William c. Wagner editor s note a spokes Man for the Wing commander at Hahn said the Genera military training get Day was set aside by the Wing com Mander to take care of those military training necessities which we cannot handle during bad weather time but which Are nevertheless necessary medical costs i would like to Point out a error in your reply to a letter published on Jan. 9 in reference to medical costs for non Mili tary personnel. You stated that red Cross personnel among others paid $10 per out patient visit Toa medical facility and $49 a Day for hospitalization. The truth i uniformed red Cross personnel pay nothing for out patient car and pay Only the Standard $1.75 a Day when  of red Cross personnel Are charged $1.75 Perout patient visit and $49 a Day when hospitalized. Alton w. Sim Kaiserslautern Germany editor s note the usar eur medical come confirms that you re Correct. Para. 26of a 403 pertains to unit formed red Cross personnel an their dependents Para. 27 covers civilian employees of government agencies. Appreciation i wish to express my appreciation to the considerate person who turned in my purse to the manager of the yes snack bar autobahn East Augsburg on Jan 19. Although i do not know who you Are you have my sin Cere thanks. Mrs. Dorothy Rudnic Mannheim Germany such As vehicle inspection ground safety facility stand Ards maintenance of uniforms compliance with policies and directives Etc. In december get was on the 21st not the 24th, As stated in the  his Christmas policy let Ter the Wing commander suggested that depending on the workload of each Squadron personnel be allowed to spend As much time As possible wit their families or resting during the Holiday  suggested therefore that from dec. 21 to Jan. 3 unit be manned by Skeleton Crews at the discretion of the uni commander so that every la div dual in the Wing would havea Chance to have a week off. It is unlikely that toe air Man worked on dec. 24, especially since on that Day All personnel were sent borne at mid Day the spokesman  on the spirit of the letter the spokesman said Hahn s weather is notoriously As bad As it is capricious. Hope fully the Young airman does Dot hold the Wing commander personally responsible for Hie  for the worst morale " he continued that is a subjective statement on an immeasurable Quantity. If his world begins at the nearest Gasthaus and ends in the bar Racks it is self evident that laugh in his morale is bound to be relatively  the spokesman concede that Barracks life is not conductive to very High moral under any circumstances Here at Hahn or anywhere  he went on to say this Man might gain great Benefit by taking the example of some of his Peers. Some airmen bum rides take buses or simply walk to the Rhine or Mosel Rivers this is one of the most Beautiful areas of Germany others scatter to the various recreation centers. Their Sal Ary is no higher than his. They May not like Hahn any More than he does but it is a Safe bet that their morale is 10times As High As his. If travelling is not his cup of Tea he added the Educa Tion Center Here offers Man courses in language history sociology Etc. Or if he prefers he can join such groups with varied interests As the Bobby shops Wood photo arts and crafts Etc or the clubs chess numismatic. To conclude then a i the spokesman in the words of our Wing commander the prescription for this Young Man s malaise is Don t just sit there in the Barracks and Gripe get off your derriere an take advantage of the tremendous opportunities offered to you while you Are Here " Back appreciate knowing what happened to Rowan and Martin s laugh in series on Fri Day nights for the Ramstein aft viewing area.
