This is his appraisal of the current setup in the post-Stalin government, and of some of the aspects of the Beria case spouigwea oy ihj cmhco- .nnAimrxmMt that Beria had confessed and been committed to trial). By WILLIAM L. HYAV AP Foreign News Analyst Moscow's handling of the Beria case demonstrates clearly the swift diminishing of secret police power in the Soviet Union and at the same time a rise in power ana influence of the Soviet army. Suddenly and surprisingly, the case against former police doss Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria has been, dragged from Us obscurity and has become the subject for intensive propaganda. This treatment reinforces the im pression that the remaining six rulers of the Communist party em pire have been forced together into an uneasy collective leadership which might better be called col lective security. The impression was unanimous up to a few days ago among for eign observers in Moscow that the party wanted the Beria case to be forgotten that some day the party would simply announce Ber ia had been convicted and exe cuted. But somebody obviously opposed the idea. The evidence points to llfl FRE-HOLIDAY SHOWS At Your Klamath Theatres OOORS OPEN 6:30 NOW SHOWING!

Recently at one ot the slate aflairs which call for innum erable toasts, I heard Marshal Georgia Zhukov express himself in a way which seemed to suggest resentment with the party and im patience to have a final chapter written in the career or Beria. Zhukov, popular military hero of World War II, had been asked to contribute to the toasts. Looking glum and solemn and obviously disapproving the earnings on of the Communist party big shots present Zhukov recalled that "justice" had been the subject of one of the toasts. He announced he wanted only to support the toast to justice. Sharp-faced Anastas T. Mikoyan, once mentor of Beria in the Com munist party, snapped: "Whafs the matter, Zhukov? Can't you think up your own toast7" Stolidly Zhukov intoned: "I wish to support the toast of justice." The removal of Beria apparent ly went against the wishes of at least some of the present six mem bers of the ruling Communist par ty hierarchy. Mikoyan, for exam ple, is the man who started Beria on his Communist party career. It was Mikoyan who selected him for special work with the Bolshe viks in the day when they were fighting the strong anti-Bolsheviks in Baku, Azerbaijan capital which now is the Soviet Union's oil cen ter. There are indications that rival ry still exists among the top mem bers of Uie Communist hierarchy, and the impression one takes out of Moscow is that the collective leadership holds together only be cause it must In the face of a definite threat. The threat seems to come from the army. And, in Beria, the army now is getting rid of a man it actually considered its enemy. He was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and, with his own past private police army, intruded upon the authority and dignity of the regular armed forces. The destruction of Beria and his most trusted aides reduces the power of the MVD, and the lessen ing of MVD power means a weak ening of the Communist party's police arm. Now there appears to be a stand off between the Communist party and the army, a sort of uneasy truce with each watching the other carefully. Thus, the collective leadership being talked about by the Com munist party since the death of Stalin is real in this respect: It is a collective of six individuals who rule the party and govern ment together because this is no time for any one of them to at tempt to emerge as the dictatorial boss. These six are Premier Malen kov, party leader, S. Khrushchev, Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, Defense Minister Nicolal Bulgan in. Vice Premier Lazar Kagano vitch and Trade Minister Mikoyan. There are three others on the presidum but they do not figure as rulers. These are Marshal Kle mentl Y. Voroshilov, a figurehead who was a comrade-in-arms of Stalin and now occupies the wholly honorary postlon of president; Mikhail Saburov and M. O. Pervu- khin, who are industrial experts dragooned into top spots by the force of events. There is no single boss. nnDarent- ly because none wants to occupy that uncomfortable position at this juncture. It seemed logical up to a short time ago to suppose that these rulers, having shelved and incar cerated Beria, would have pre ferred to let the whole thing pass gradually into oblivion without raking up the whole story again through a publicized (though not public) trial. Somebody wanted the humilia tion of Beria and and the MVD to be finalized, to be brought home dramatically to the Soviet people. That could only have been the army. For the party, the Beria case Is awkward. Beria, according to the Soviet encyclopedia published in iaau and still embarrassintrlv pres ent in current sets in the U.S. SR., "carried out great work in des troying the Menshevlk, Dashnak and Mussavltist parties" after the revolution. But last Wednesday they accused him of having been an agent of those groups. The en cyclopedia says he defeated "the Trotskyist and other antl party groups which had gone Into (he antl - Soviet, underground and joined with the rcmants of anti- Soviet parties and intelligence services of the capitalist coun tries." Last Wednesday Beria was accused Of havinir served th trnt. skyists and the capitalist countries. ine soviet encyclopedia alsn notes that Beria held the rank of iwarsnai or the Soviet union, five orders of Lenin, the Order of Su vorov, two orders of the Red Ban ner and seven medals. Yet all the time he was a traitor in the iurti- midst. Just before I left Mmim T,.n. day I heard from a competent source that Beria had been moved out of Lubianka prison, that ordi nary looking building on Dzher zhinsky Square which once, ironical- ly WAS the R0SSia Life Tnura.i. Co. The removal could mean only ! uue uiiuR. rjeria s aoom was final- ly sealed. He may well be dead already. (Radio Jjoq KFLW 1150 Kc.

He handed the checkroom gtrl an old Navy blue knitted cap similar to those sailors wear for a cold watch. Then he doffed an over coat in which a waiter spotted a National Recovery Administration label of .the early 1930's. Then, in a well-worn dark busi ness suit and vest and an ordin ary striped tie, the Whitehall ed man strolled Into the main room to mingle with men in white tie and talis, and women gowned in formal silk and jewels. It was one of the season's most elegant weddings, and the aged gentleman in the dark business suit was perhaps the most emin ent wedding guest. He came late but was one of the first through the reception line after the ceremony to congratu late the bridegroom, Dr. Thomas Lee Bucky of Cornell University Medical College here, and the bride, the former Miss Margart Neuburg, of Park Avenue and Weston, Conn. The guest, a close friend of Bucky's father, physicist Gustav Bucky, quickly ducked around a corner from the reception line and Into an elevator and out of sight. It was the end of a rare social appearance for 74-year-old Prof. Albert Einstein.
