The message may be the fore- runner of a slow and cautious shift in the aggressive course | Soviet foreign policy has been following for the past several months. The warning is in the authori- [tative theoretical journal of the Soviet party, Kommunist Among those being warned, apparently, are the Chinese Communists and those among the parties in other countries who have been leaning toward the Red Chinese view that this is the |time for an all-out push against |a capitalist world which some in the party consider to be off bal- ance. CHANCE FOR ALLIANCES The article argues that' while the danger of new world war |suvely should not be minimized, no Marxist must forget that the {upsurge of revolutionary fever in such places as Africa, the Mid- |dle East and Cuba has given |world communism a chance to lally itself with new emerging forces which might one day push the world capitalist system to the | wall. | In today's circumstances, of kindness.

Thus, the old theory that war between com-| munism and capitalism is inevit-| able must not be relied upon me- chanically.

The article makes an earnest pitch for "peaceful transition' of turbulent areas to the Soviet sys- tem of proletarian dictatorship. Non-peaceful means can be used, it says, but this depends entirely upon the internal situation in the country involved. Kommunist concludes: it would be a mistake to underestimate the strength of the 'imperialist' camp; 'imperialism' remains strong, with greater peacetime forces and military budgets than at any time in history. Then comes another warning: the first law of the Communist camp is solidarity (obviously un- who forget this "are not helping the cause."

Canadian Doesn't Fear Broadway By JOSEPH MACSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer NEW YORK (CP) -- Percy Rodriguez, a man with a level eye and powerful hands, says he has no fear of Broadway so long as the story he works in is presented "truthfully." Rodriguez, one of Canada's most versatile Negro actors, somehow managed to convey in an interview--about the hit play Toys in the Attic--the smooth bearing of a stage man as well as the challenging approach of a boxer who has fought for 10 years. If a sense of humor is a sense of proportion, the handsome ac- tor and former pugilist from Montreal knows about it because he told a reporter: "Every actor wants to appear on Broadway, and this was my first time, so I was thrilled and proud. "Then one cay I heard a little fellow ask one of my boys what his father did for a living: "'My father's an acter on Broadway. What's your father?' LOST STATUS Rodriguez says his boy--oi of three children--was shatter that his friend's daddy dro subway trains while our he was merely a Broadway actor "I'm glad my youngster thin it's more important to drive locomotive than to be an actor said Rodriguez. "That's as should be." Rodriguez now is riding hi with an important part in To which won the New York critic award as the best show of t! season. But he ruefully recal failures. Spreading his big hands, Per: showed how a buzz saw in a Qu bec lumber camp sliced vit tendones and ruined-his chance for an important Detroit fig during his boxing days--"th 'He drives a subway train.' " was a real disappointment."
