Hints Possibility Os Stalin, Beria Murders

Editor’s note: Were Sdviet Premier Joseph Stalin and L. P. Beria, the chief of his secret' police, murdered in horrifying struggle for power behind Kremlin walls? By special permission, International News Service presents, in part, a startling chapter entitled “The Strange Death of Stalin and the Demise of Beria” from a forth coming book by Brigadier C. H. Dewhurst, former chief of the British mission to Soviet Forces in Eastern Germany. The Brigadier's book, “Close Contact,” is being published by the Houghton Mifflin Co., Bosi ton.) ’ » By BRIG. C. H. DEWHURST WASHINGTON (INS) — Stalin’s policy was inevitably driving 'Russia to a showdown—and to an unnecessary show-down, for the' s ou(come of a' world war was by no means certain. It might be so In a/few years’ time; but it now. However. Stalin was an ageihg man who wished to see a more rapid consummation of Communist world expansion in his own lifetime, and that meant in the next five or six years. Not unnaturally, his colleagues were not so anxious, for they were younger men and with longer time in which to fulfill their am-

bitions (whatever these may severally have been); but meantime each had his own little kingdom to rule and none could have been prepared to risk it on an uncertainty. These men will have been watching the world acene with anxiety . . . . . . Power had gone to Stalin’s head, but not to the head of his close associates, who realized that their own little kingdoms would inevitably crash under the stresses of war—unless Stalin himself decreed their demise beforehand. We know that he deliberately played one member of the Politbureau against the other in order to ensure that easy fluidity which he found easier to control than a clique which might develop into solid opposition. He may well have gone too far in this “domestic” policy as well as In his foreign policy . . . The first steps to implement the plan to overthrow him now had to be made. It consisted of the "doctors’ plot,” details of which were announced on January 13th, 1953. some seven weeks before Stalin's death. This had. I believe, as its objective the severance of Stalin fj-om his capable and trusted physicians, perhaps leaving the way open for the introduction of other more pliable material . . . ... It got rid of Stalin's infmediate protectors . . . covered up

Malenkov’s liquidation of Zhdanov his notorious rival and, number two to Stalin up to .1948, by announcing that the doctors, whilst failing to do away with three marshals, a general and an admiral, “had succeeded in murdering A. A. Zhdanov” . . . prepared the jniblie for news’ of death in high places. On, or about 23rd February, Stalin, in my opinion “died.” Precautionary measures were noted in Moscow, including the movement of troops. There were moves to a “state of readiness’’ by Red garrisons in certain satellites. There was uneasiness in Potsdam. I am sure the Kremlin genuinely apprehended disturbances on the announcement of their leader's death. Why, it is difficult for us in the west to understand, for we have no inferiority complex, persecution mania, nor, unless we have done wrong, a bad conscience. When, on Cth March, the death of the “great leader" was finally announced, a most extraordinary morbid communique was issued. It was long, detailed and—to the man in the street incomprehensible. It spoke of “grey matter on the left side of the brain," of cerebral hemorrhage, hypertrophia, mucous membranes, Intestines, arteriosclerotic infection and hypertonicity. It fairly welted in unpalatable and .undignified description. ]n a country where personal and human news concerning leaders is almost unknown, this communique would seem astonishing. Was it issued to prove the “naturalness” Os death? To show that it was not sudden but “cumulative," and that no human hand had a part in it? We shall never know. The moment Stalin was deafr, the Politbureau met to decide the order of succession, and I suggest that there was bitter controversy over the spoils. Each will have been anxious to guarantee the maximum power and freedom for his own particular department, whilst all or most will have been jealous of Malenkov's ascendancy. It was, however, quite essential to show a solid front as quickly as possible, and Malenkpv was thus immediately proclaimed as Stalin’s successor; but within a ■ matter of days the true decisions became known. to lose the post of secretary general of the Communist party and hand it over to a man riown tko the outside world only uh a natorious and fierce official in the Ukraine, called Kruschchev. This act seriously diminished Malenkov’s powers, for Stalin’s autocracy was achieved by reason of holding the dual posts of premier and secretarygeneral of the party. It was also decided that single leadership was "out" and that the country would in future be ruled by a “committee of elders." May Day articles in the Soviet press underlined the fact that the Politbureau was a team; that single _ , , -■;' „ i

leadership was not in accord with Communist doctrine, whilst, of tho thousands of photos adorning Moscow on the following May Day, none showed Malenkov in larger size than his colleagues. AU nine associates appeared on the Same placards and all were of the same Size. - It was, tn my opinion, Beria who had won the Politbureau over to the decisions which would sheaf Malenkov’s wings. Meanwhile ho planned to go ahead with his own plans for consolidation, preparatory to seizing power himself when the time was ripe. All he forgot, or overlooked, was Malenkov’s, background. Up to 1937 Malenkov was number two to the notorious head of the secret police, Yezhov. It is. apparent that many who served under Beria will have at one time served under Malenkov, Ijeafhing of Beria’s plans and ambitions one of them, at least, will have spilled the news to Malenkov. A few days before the arrest of Beria was scheduled to take place (and it was not only Beria w'ho was arrested) a rumor was carefully spread around the streets of the capital that the ruble was to be devalued. Uneasiness immediately spread, as had been confidently expected, and huge queues appeared outside Moscow’s bankay whilst there was a concurrent rush on the state-owned stores to purchase all available goods before the currency lost its value. It was considered a "wise precaution” to alert the Moscow military garrison and to bring in certain troops from their barracks in the suburbs. To these measures the unsuspecting Beria must have agreed. It was these soldiers who made the arrest, who carried oft Beria’s close associates and who ensured that the startling news would, next day, lead to no “unauthorized gatherings” of the dumbfounded population. High stakes were played on that St. Bartholomew’s Eve. with two arch-brains pitted against each other, and one day we may learn details of how the world’s most autocratic and cunning chief of secret police was hoodwinked to his death. It will make fascinating reading . . . A Little Chip Becomes A Nip COGNAC. France (INS) — A chip off the old block becomes a “nip” off the old block here in the birth place of cognac brandy. At the birth of a baby, the father — according to an age-old custom — labels a bottle of his best cognac with the child’s name and puts it aside for the day, years later, when the youngster makes his first communion. At the given time the bottle is opened — not for Junior, but for the family at large. ■i ‘ — f‘""~ ' S ■■
