Moscow from 1941 until 19 das ago, when be and his family left lor the United States. Now in Stock holm, he examines various as pects, of the purge of Lavrenty P. Berla from the standpoint of one who for 12 years observed the Russian government from the Kremlin's (ront yard.) ' By EDDY GILMORE STOCKHOLM, Sweden- 1M La vrenty P. Berla's expulsion from the Communist party and Soviet government means that Premier Georgl Malenkov and perhaps others now feel strong enough or esperaie enougn to doom the su preme policeman to utter disgrace. In this mighty struggle for Sta lin's power, which does not neces sarily appear to have ended, the sensational action against Beria was a natural development. Like so many other mysterious unngs aoout tnat mysterious coun try, Russia, when did It all take place? , - Has Berla just now been kicked out of the party and government or did all this happen some time ago? Just before I left Moscow, high memners of the party and gov ernment on June 27 watched the premiere of a new opera at the uoishol Theater . Oddly, very oddly, Berla's name was not listed among those pres ent. "Do you suppose that It's al ready happened? p- one Western diplomat asked me, referring to what we all expected In the power struggle the Inevitable 'arrest of someone on top. ' r The cold-eyed Georgia has been damned by the most terrifying Strangle' Conyicted Of Manslaughter COQUILLE Wl Ralph Wlllard Plant, 37, was convicted Thursday of manslaughter for the April 23 strangling of Ethel Gladys Moore. The woman, , who had lived with Plant the past ZV2 years, mostly in Portland, was found dead in a hotel room In North Bena. They had gone to North Bend a few months earlier.

Be Yours with gallon Keeps VERN OWENS' Home Furnishings COMPANY phrase of all in the Soviet lexicon an enemy of the party and peo - pie, On top of this ' he has been branded an International Imperi alist agent, a sickenlngly familiar expression. From almost every angle, Berla has had It. It seems certain that the Su preme Court, which now has his case In its hands, will give him the works. One of the momentous points In volved In the disgrace of Berla Is the question of what connection It has with recent loves of the So viet government to slightly nor malize some relations with the West and make the gestures of a new look. Another mighty question of the moment; has the straggle for pow er been halted with Beria'a dis grace? This action against him Indicates on first examination that the po lice have been dealt with by Malen kov or others. If the police have been dealt with, what about the army? Is someone else, in the hours before dawn, dramatic things al ways hamien.ln Russia shortly be fore sunrise) going to be accused of being an enemy of the party and people and an International Imperialist agent? Anything can happen In Russia, Anything. The appointment of Sergei Krug- lov, already a high-ranting po liceman. Is Intriguing for this great lumbering fellow was and la a friend of V. M. Molotov. - What has Molotov, Stalin's old friend and now foreign minister, bad to do with Berla s disgrace? Maybe very little; maybe very much. . And If Molotov has wedged his knee in the powerhouse door, then the tears he shed at Stalin's funer alwhen Malenkov and Beria were dry-eyed r- may also nave begun to dry.- ..... Last night I wrote a story and mailed It to New York It began: "Who's running Russia today?"

" This morning that reads even better than last night. - Berla's disgrace could very well be connected with the East Berlin and East German uprisings. It Is known In Moscow that be has had not only his finger but his whola aim In the bubbling German caul dron. Has Stalin's old fellow country manboth were Georgians been damned because of . this? It Is quite possible, no matter what official explanation Is now rolling off the propaganda machine of the Central Committee of the Communist party Twelve years of watching events In Russia have . certainly con vinced me of one thing:, when something happens as has hap pened in Germany, somebody has to be singled out. If it Is anybody the boys' can get their hands on, punishment follows denunciation as night does day. A neat wrestling bout for pow er was going on before the Ger man demonstrations, of course, but those events coming on top ot the liberation of the framed' doctors and a denunciation of the police and their methods could have giv en Malenkov the gun he was seek ing to fire In Berla's face. Berla u beinir denounced in Mos cow this morning lor, among other things, trying to put his police before the party and government. If one can believe this, It could mean Berla had been trying to arrest some of his colleagues In the party and government. pos sibly Malenkov himself. , -, )7fTl terrificfor i f: Ml every wear IIULtJ and M H aterrifii value, tool" , - j MAILORDERS FILLED...
