News Analyst Tells
Of Fading Power of

back in the United States after a
three-month tour of duty as an M)
correspondent in ihe Soviet Union.
He tallica witn some oi ie uku
who are influential in Russia
and he talked also with scores of

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

the army. 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.

Einstein Goes
To Wedding
HEW YORK W The aged,
white-haired man strode Into the
fashionable Hotel Plaza Sunday
night, and headed (or the elaborate
ly decorated Terrace Room.
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.
