I some months ago he appeared to have hitched his wagon to the star of party boss Nikita Khrushchev. Koniev joined the Czar’s army, became a Bolshevik in 1918. His military ability and his political reliability and loyalty made possible his climb up the military ladder which brought him to the rank of the general at the outbreak of war in 1940. His masterly planning brought him victory after victory. He halted Hitler’s until-then invincible tank commander General Heinz Guderian. The end of the war found Koniev co-victor of Berlin with Zhukov and liberator of Prague. By this time he was a marshal. Koniev was the first Soviet commander of the Russian zone of Austria, and of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. General Mark Clark of the U.S. Army said of him at the time “we get the finest cooperation from Marshal Koniev.” Bullet-headed, pudgy, he carries rows of medals and decorations on his barrel-shaped chest, he has close cropped hair. Koniev was appointed to the command of the Warsaw Pact forces in May 1955, when the pact, as one Western observer then said, "put a juridical stamp of approval on a de facto condition — the merging of all the forces of the eight (East European) countries.’’ Koniev commands, apart from Soviet troops, the forces of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. He was born Dec. 27, 1897 in the village of Ladeino northwest of Korov in Russia. He went to the village school briefly and worked as a lumberjack before he went into the Czar’s army.-

Three Mothers Wait Trip To Red China Sons Imprisoned In Communist China i * * WASHINGTON (UP> — Three American mothers are awaiting a go-ahead from the Chinese Reds 'to pay Christmas visits to their Isons imprisoned in Communist China, it was disclosed today. The State Department, reversing previous policy, recently agreed to permit close relatives of six Americans jailed in Red China to visit their kin.
