The fat-tree loins of whales will be ground, sacked into cartons and quick f rozen. Marketed under the "Mo- bey Dick" brand it will be sold primarily as a dog and cat food. There is also an outlet for whale meat as food at fish hatcheries and mink farms.

Statesman, Salem, Oraon, ork on Short Session Renews Talks Over Korea PANMUNJOM W Allied and Communist truce delegates met here Friday to work out final agree ment on an armistice in the three year Korean war .despite South Ko rea's opposition. The negotiators met for 29 min utes and then adjourned until Sat urday (Friday U. S. time). 1 The session was the first full dress meeting in 20 days. It was termed an executive ses sion, which meant that the results probably would not be made pub lic. Issues Well Knows : But the issues were well known ' ! The main one was whether the United Nations could make South Korea and its vitriolic President Svneman Rhee abide by truce terms already negotiated. 1 Convening after a 20-day break since their last full-dress meeting. the negotiators were expected to start ironing out details for super vision of a truce, and possibly soon choose a date for signing ceremon ies.

Reds9 Books To Stay on Reading WASHINGTON The State Department told Senj McCarthy (R-Wis.) Thursday night that books by known Communists may be used to counter Red proga ganda and thus serve America's aims in official U. S. libraries abroad. I ; "In some cases, the most ef fective way to refute! the propa ganda of the Communists may be to turn the words of their own writers against them," said Dr. Robert L. Johnson, who has re signed under fire as chief of the deDartment's International In formation Administration (IIA). Rejecting McCarthy's criticism, Johnson refused to back .down on the department's newest policy a reversal of the line it previous ly adopted. i During the day, McCarthy at tacked the new order as "com pletely ridiculous." The Wisconsin senator fired a "a list of those .Communists telegram to Johnson 'demanding whose writing you feel 'serve the ends of democracy'" and sum moned Johnson to appear next Wednesday before the; Senate In vestigations Subcommittee.

Beri. head of the Soviet blood purge police under Stalin, has been fired as deputy premier in Mos cow, booted out of the Communist Party, and branded a traitor to the Soviet Union. ' i ' 1 . 4 That' left Premier Georgi M. Malenkdv and Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov in the grim struggle for power over the Soviet Union, its satellites and itr. captive countries. I v The , three were a post-Stalin triumvirate until now, although Beria had been reported heading for a purge. - ' f . - Malenkov in person formally laid te treason charges against Beria before the Soviets. - f ' Beria's downfall may have been quickened by the failure of his security forces to avert uprising in East Germany, the satellites, and the Soviet Union itself. ' -. " The 'Soviet government announced on Moscow radio Thursday night that his job as home minister in charge of the secret police would be. taken by the little-known Sergei Nikiforovich Kruglov. The I purge of Beria indicated that iPremier, Georgi Malenkov now may be firmly in the saddle and pad disposed of his chief rival for the job. ; I Apparently Scapegoat of JSatjbliite Uprisings. Beria apparently was made the; scapsegoat for the waves of re bellion which has been sweeping the satellites. He also was in charge of Russia's atomic energy program, but there was no indication whether shortcomings in that department may have contributed to his downfall. Moscow dispatches said the news fBeria's dramatic dismissal was greeted with wild rejoicing at Cdmmunist Party meeting in the Kremlin's Hall of Columns. f 1 It broke on the world first through broadcasts and later by dis patches quoting the Moscow press. The ' formal public action in MoscowJ was taken Thursday night at a meeting of some 2,000 Communist dignitaries who denounced the mild-appearing, bespectacled Beria as an "international imperi alist agent" and. an "enemy of the Communist Party and Soviet people."!" I The Soviet government charged him with trying "to undermine the Soviet state in the interest of foreign capita)." Red leaders . denounced him as a f'bourgeois renegade" ' who "roused , the indignation of the entire party and the entire Soviet people.?. f Showdown" Takes Western World by Surprise The' spectacular finals to the long-rumored showdown between Beria and Malenkov took the Western "world by surprise. No one had expected it so soon. ' Sonje observers pointed out, however, that U.S. Ambassador Charles; E. Bohlen suddenly left Moscow for the West just one day before f.he purge. He is respected as a prognosticates of things to come in the Soviet Union. I ' , The reason for cutting down Beri so quickly I apparently is found in the satellite revolts, for which! he probably will be given all the blame. 1 f ; Pravda said his recent activities had led the increasing success of international imperialist plots againsf the Soviet Union; it had previously given those revolts as an exagnple. ' Beria 's faU was . foreshadowed by ; in editorial in the govern ment newspaper Izvestia Monday which 1 declared an unnamed offi cial was headed for the scrap-heap. 1 ; . . souweu woo was meant. Party Voted to Expel Ranking Member The official communiques said that the President of the Su preme Soviet of the USSR decided to rejnove Beria after reviewing "the criminal and anti-state activities of Beria, directed at under mining the Soviet state in the interests) of foreign capital." The Communist Party voted to expel him at a meeting of the Central Committee for the same reasons, adding that he had also tried to place the interests of his Just how aU this was done finding out about it and takine For many years Beria has been the! most dreaded man in Rus sia and its satellites. His entire party career has been in the Secret Police dating back to early post-revolution days. He has extended his empire to include bossing the Soviet es pionage network overseas and lites.- J j The fall of Beria is expected to hive electrifying consequences both in Russia and the satellites. I Beria's faU came while top Russian! officials from riotous East Germany were in Moscow to report and while Russia's top diplo mats from Western capitals also were home in Moscow. Beria's Successor Virtually Unknown to West Among those present in Moscow ii Andrei Y. Vishinsky now chief Soviet delegate to the U.N., but fyho won his fame as both prosecutor and judge at the famous Rusfian purge trials of the late 1930s. I k Whether be will resume that role n the spectacular trial of Beria as an imperialist agent was a subject for speculation in the .West Beria's success, Kruglov, was virtually unknown to the west al though he was in charge of security at Ihe Potsdam Conference in 1945 when Stalin met with President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee. -. - - ' In that capacity he was awarded t ie U.S. legion of merit by U.S. Maj. Gen. Floyd Parks in one of the last gestures of East-West amity before the cold war set in. 1 - . J Last October Kruglov was elected $o the new Cenral Commit tee of the Soviet Communist Party. He has also held the title of interior minister when Beria did not keep that name for himself. Beria, 53, was a Georgian from the amc province as Stalin. He had always been regarded as extremely! close to the dead dictator. 70 Millions in Bank But Check Bounces INDIANAPOLIS 11 An Oak land city taxpayer was a little sur prised when a state check for a $13 refund bounced. - He couldn't understand why it was returned marked "no funds" and neither could State Auditor Frank Millis.
