Palace Revolution May Also Oust Malenkov

EDITOR’S NOTE: W. a) Ryser, of the United Press London staff, long has been a ,close student of Russian affairs with a record of correct interpretation of events behind the Iron Curtain. Sy W. A. RYSER LONDON UP — Lavrenti IP. Beria, Russian minister of the interior, was sacrificed 10 a “palace revolution” which also could bring about the downfall of premier Georgi M. Malepkov. Many western observers believed that all real power now has passed to the rival Kremlin faction headed by foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov and defense minister Nikolai Bulganin. Beria’s dramatic and totally unexpected dismissal from all his government posts and his expulsion from the Communist party has reversed completely the situation created after the- death of Stalin. Then it was Malenkov No. t in the government land party .and Beria No. 2. - Western diplomats believe that Molotoy and Bulganin, in achieving the almost impossible, did it by securing army backing and confronting Malenkov with the alternative of dumping Beria or facing op£n revolt. It has been felt for some time that it was Beria who pressed for and initiated some if not all the

reforms introduced in Russia in the four months since Stalin's death and ‘that his power had grown comparatively. | His downfall comes at a moment when he and Malenkov had appeared on the threshold of .success iu consolidating the new regime, in which, however, they had been strongly opposed by the MolotovBulganin group. Now Malenkov, having sacrificed Beria to save himself, becomes a mere figurehead, in the opinion of many observers here. The immediate result is expected to be a series of internal purges in which the first to suffer probably will be the ministry of the interior which Beria headed. Molotov’s and Bulganin’s apparent return to power probably also will mean a stiffening of Russian policy toward the . west, although it is unlikely that the peace offensive will be dropped suddenly. 5 If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add. it brings results. i/i I,' n.. ■. \\ i i . ii iy INSURANCE Leo “Dutch” Ehinger FIRE • WIND • AUTO 720 No. 3rd St. Phone 3-2004

Remaining defendants in the trial, Lucille and Spann. twins, will be tried Following the admission, center superintendent Warren Woodall testified under cross examination only one supervisor was on duty to watch 35 girl inmates at the time the Houchins girl allegedly was beaten and strangled with a towel in a security room. He said one supervisor was inadequate for patrolling the twostory building. He said the security room in which the four defendants and Olga had been placed after an attempted escape was furnished with only mattresses.

New City Well Down To 300-Foot Depth llecatur’s newest well, designed 'to relieve the shortages experienced here during hot Weather, has been, drilled <fown to 300 fest. Customarily, <?ity wells are drilled to slbout 400 feet, and city engineer Ralph Roop said today he expects it to be completed by the middle of next week. • A great deal remains to be dose once the level desired is reached, however: a test must be made to see what kind of pump must be installed; in this case 800 feet of sixinch water main must be run over to the main water artery; and Lastly. a pump house must be built. A: 170 feet limestone was reach-, ed. the porous that indicates the presence of water, and from there on the crushing of the bit agajnst the stone brought up quantities of limewater. ’ *' ' A Query Officials In Illinois Bombings h Two Men Sought In Rock Island Blasts ROCK ISLAND, 111.

Meanwhile, detectives searched for two men, reportedly poliice records, Who recently arrived in thiji Illinois-lowa Quad Citji area. Acting police chief Lawrence Jones said officers of the local International Typographical Union would be questioned Wbout the bombings which o.curred- early Thursday. “'fhere is no doubt in my mind that they <the bombings) are linked the strike,” Jones said. However, Frank Murrin, secretary - treasurer of ITU Local 107. said that so far as he knew none of the union’s offi.-Frs bad been a<ked to appear at police headquarters for questioning. ”1 have no information whatsoever that any |of our people ane goiijg to be questioned,” he sai l “Wily should they be questioned? Our union had no connection with the bombings and I’m sure none of cur people ate involved. •Ut’s my opinion that it wasn't local people who did it." The printers have been on strike at the Rock jslhnd Argue, Moline 111. Dispatch, Davenport, la. Times and Davenport Democrat Decj. 15. Other unions have continued to work and the newspapers have maintained daily publication. Jones said police were going on the theory that "imported thugs” did the actual bombings, which damaged automobiles belonging to A. I‘. Anderson and John Reagan. Anderson, s who is composing room foreman of the Argus, reported his 11-month-old son suffered a foot laceration from flying glass. Reagan, secretary - treasurer of Local 98 of the International Pressmen's Union, said he had been once threatened by striking printers. although.not recently. Jones said that some non-striking printers have asked for police pro-’ tection and “they’ll get it." •Hfe said a >3,000 reward posted by tjie Argus for information about! the bombing probably would bring numerous tips to police. .

Stand Pat On Book Screening Policies Stand Pat Despite McCarthy's Blasts WASHINGTON UP — The state department stood pat on its new 'book-screening policy today despite a sharp blast of criticism from Sen. Joseph R. iMcCarthy R-Wis. The policy, which McCarthy termed “completely ridiculous,” is to permit U. S. overseas llbrariei to stock books by Communist authors provided they “serve the ends of Democracy.” McCarthy said it was inconceiv aible to him how state department officials could believe that Red authors might write anything that would aid the Democratic cause He called op Dr. Robert L. John son. outgoing head of the state department’s international information administration, to appear before his senate investigating subcommittee next Wednesday to “explain” the new policy. Johnson said in a formal statement that it would be a mistake to ban all books by Reds because in some cases it might be possible to refute Red, lies by turning Com-munist-authored bocks against Communism. Meanwhile, officials disclosed that a total of 100 titles by about 21 or 22 authors haye been specifically barred from the overseas libraries. All other books have bpen ordered restored except those offensive to a particular area or . those w hich are damaged or obsolete. ’ . " ’ f ■.
