By Rl'SSKLL BRINES WASHINGTON I A former Polish colonel testified Thursday there is reason to believe the pres ent Soviet ambassador to London commanded a Russian "murder" prison camp in World War Two. Col. George Grobickl, 60, told a special House investigating com mittee that a Brig. Gen. Zarubin of the Soviet secret police com manded Kozelsk Prison Camp, where he was confined in 1940. Grobickl said he once established from a photograph that this man Is the same Zarubin who now rep resents the Soviet government in London. But testifying under oath Thursday, he said: "The name Is the same and the likeness is a very great one. But I do not know for sure.
