LONDON, Nov. 15—(U.R)—The So-
viet Army has been reorganized com-
pletely and is now commanded by an
officer corps controlled by the Com-
munist Party, an analysis of the re-
ports of the 19th party congress dis-
closes.
Western intelligence officers said
the speeches made at the congress
by the Soviet war chiefs, marshal
A. M. Vassilevsky, minister of war,
and vice admiral N. O. Kuznetsov,
minister of the navy, disclosed de-
tails hitherto unknown about the
political and organizational control
of the army by the party leaders.

The reorganization to which the
Soviet Army has been subjected was
aimed at preventing the army from
developing into an independent poli-
tical force.
Youth Organized
Marshal Vasslievsky said in his
speech at the congress that at pres-
ent 88.4 percent of the "officers and
generals" of the Army are members
either of the Communist Party or of
the Komsomol, the Communist
Youth Organization.
According to Vasslievsky, measures
were taken In post-war years to
strengthen the "principle of one-
man command” introduced during
the war.
Vasslievsky was referring to the
decision of the Soviet high com-
mand, taken in 1942, to do away with
the institution of political commis-
sars in the army. The political com-
missars were responsible for the
political reliability of the military
commanders and the political edu-
cation of the soldiers.
During the war. the commissars
often went into conflict with the
military commanders and hindered
operations. Because of that, the non-
military commissars were abolished
and the military commanders of
Each unit were given full authority.
Control Stronger
However, as Vassilevsky and Kuz-
netsov now explain, political control
over the army has not ceased, but
has been strengthened. The work of
political commissars Is now done by
specially trained career officers, who
are usually second In command in
all units.
Admiral Kuznetsov said the party
has done a "colossal" task in the
field of political education of the
army. He explained:
"A comprehensive system of
Marxlst-Leninlst education has been
created in the army. It includes all
officers. All officers, from platoon
commanders to the highest com-
manders, are studying. The army
has now 135 universities of Marxism-
Leninism, and a wide network of
party schools, political schools and
groups Ls also working."
“The Komsomol organization has
an outstanding role in the Soviet
army. There are regiments where
more than 80 percent of the non-
commissioned officers and soldiers
belong to this organization."
Importance Stressed
Exceptional Importance was at-
tached in London to Kuznetsov’s
statement. It is clearly aimed at
stressing the complete loyalty of the
Soviet Army to the present regime.
Whether the Army is as loyal to the
Communist Party as Kuznetsov
wants it to be, U difficult to say.
The Idea seems to be to tell the
world that there will be no repeti-
tion of the events during the last
war, when Qeneral V. A. Vlassov
and some lesser Red Army com-
manders deserted to the Germans
and organized an army to fight
against Stalin.
Whatever the real degree of loy-
alty of the army to the regime, there
ls no doubt that Stalin and the oth-
er party bosses are doing everything
in their power to tie the Army firm-
ly to the party.
Describing the Soviet Army’s work
in the post-war period, Vassilevsky
said the army was being kept In a
state of continuous "battle pre-
paredness."
"Important changes have been
made in the organization of the So-
viet Army and In arming it with
technical arms, and these changes
have sharply raised Its fighting
qualities,’’ Vassilevsky said.
