K's Position Strong | In Running Of Russia ' Eddy Gilmore was for 10 years, until 1953, the Associ- ated Press staff man in Mos- cow. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his work there in 1947. Now, for the first time in a he has returned to the Soviet Union for reac- quaintance and assessment. By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (AP) --Who runs Russia? Is it Nikita S. Khrushchev?

"I have positive evidence," opinion on several occasions has overnight changed the mind of her husband, Mind you, I'm not saying this applies to big policy."" In an ancient patriarchy such as Russia, woman might have important influence on the decisions of her husband might be inter- preted as impolite, or even out- rageous. In 1963, 10 years after the death of Joseph Stalin, Khrush- chev studiously goes out of his way -- at least in the Soviet Un- jon--to avoid giving the impres- sion that he's the big boss, Take the case of the 25th an- Niversary of the great Red Army victory at Stalingrad, now called Volgograd, Khrush- chev played an important role in the victory. STAYED AWAY Yet, he stayed away from the eniversary celebration -- a strange performance, A Soviet marshal explained: "He does not want to do any- thing that would make anyone Khrushchev can and|boo said Ambassador X, "that her| } to imply: that a|WO ---- THE COHAWA TIMES, Monday, Meren 11, 1963 19 Baryeteer, meaing 70, is as amazing as the changes that have taken place since Stalin's death, He's one of the world's most. astute politicians.
