MOSCOW (AP)-Five former aa- goclltel of the Stalin era police boss. Lavrenty P. Beria. have been executed in Soviet Georgia and two others have been sentenced to life imprisonment. Tiflls (Tbilisi) Radio announced Tuesday.

The broadcast did not make clear just what the charges were against 9.. seven men, identified only by their last names. But the radio report from the Georgian Republic, home state of both Beria and Sta- lin. indicated the men were ac- cused of conspiring with Berla. who was ' J in December, 1953. on charges of plotting to seize power in Moscow.

This was the third announce of executions of Berle co-conspir- stars. The announcements have been spaced almost a year apart. The first was in December, I953- and disclosed the death of a group headed by Berle himself; the sec- ond waa in December. 1954, of the execution of another group.

Berta was a product of the se- curity organization of Georgia and throughout his career as the over- all Soviet police boss he kept I

light rain on the organizat' in his home republic.

Tlflls Radio said those executed were men named Rukhadze. Ro- kava, Tserteli. Stavitsky and Khaz- mi. and those sentenced to im- Drlsonment were men named Ri- armi and Paramanov.

Rukhadze is a former minister of internal security in Georgia and former chief of the prosecution de- partment of the ministry of la- ternal affairs (MVD).

If this is so. he has been under arrest ever since that time on charges of persecutlng innocent workers and plotting 3.) arouse popular dissatis- faction.

Tsertell apparently was Shalva Otarovich Tserteli. former deputy minister of internal security und a lieutenant-general in Berla's MVD army of secret police.

tors.

The broadcasts said the men were convicted by a military tri- bunal in September on charges of high treason. terrorist activity and taking part in counter-revolutiom ary work. Berta and his other as- sociates also were doomed by a military tribunal.

If the usual procedure was fol- lowed. the five defendants were executed by shooting after a no- appeal judgment by the military tribunal.

No announceme A of the execu- tions was broadcast by Moscow Radio. Diplomatic sources in Lon- don suggested that disclosure of the executions at this time might prove embarrassing to Soviet Com- munist boss N. S. Khrushchev and Premier N. A. Bulganin. who are currently touring India.

The Soviet leadership had given the impression months ago that the whole Beria case was closed and all was harmonious within the So- viet regime. Both have attempted to give the impression of more leniency toward political opponents.

In referring briefly to the direct- ors' meeting which was held in the city earlier in the afternoon, Mr. Mann disclosed that the report of the various committees showed that those interested had a variety of ideas. He said that the job of APEC was to co-ordinate these ideas so that a common solution could be found that would benefit the particular industry as a-whole.

Mr. Mann said at since APEC was formed. comp ints were heard from the different Provinces that new industries could not be develop-l ed because of lack of power. How-, ever, after investigation it was' found that in Nova Scotia there was sufficient power to look after any new industry that might start and assurance was given by the producers of power that energy would be available wherever the proposed plant was set up. He said that one of the aims of APEC was to reduce power rates and felt that the first step in this direction was an inter-connection of the three Maritime Provinces- AGRICULTURE

"The press and leaders of some of these countries have warned you: 'BlllI.Zl'lIIll1 and Khrushchev are clever people-deal with them cleverIy.' " he said. "According to them. we are trying to dupe you and exploit you-

”I want to tell these people that if you want to compete in friendli- ness, why dont you do so; we have come here to strengthen Indo- Soviet friendship. We are quite clear about this."

Khrushchev told the gathering of Indian officials: "You want to build and I am very happy that you want to do so. If you want our assistance. say so and we shall definitely help. You want to build electric (power) stations. You want our technical know-how. Tell us and we will help you.

"If you want in gel training in the Soviet Union-if you want. to send people there. by all means do so . . . if this is cleverness. then we are clever.

party chief Nikita Khrushchev Tuesday lndlgnantly re-i pudiated the idea. that he and Premier Nikolai Bulgarlln are visiting India for any other purpose than to promote friendship between the two countries.

Khrushchev spoke at a luncheon here after visiting the site of the Bhakra dam. one of Indials biggest irriga-

under construction.

over the progress being made at the Bhakra dam which. when com- ' plated. will tower 680 feet. Khrushchev and Bulganin were presented with gold-hilted sworda 200 years old by the Mabarajah of Patiala, princely ruler of Patiah and the union of East Punjab states. In return. Bulganin pre- sented the maharajab with a cam- era and a shawl for the maharani.

Earlier. the Russians watched concrete being poured into the dam's foundetfons and listened carefully to an explanation of the project from an American con- siruction engineer who is advising 300 Indian technicians.

The American. Harvey Slocum of Alhambra, Callf.. said the dam will form a 80-mile-long lake out of the Suite) river in the Himalayan foot hills.

Khrushchev shook hands with Slocum and told him: "We should work together." The American ro plied: "Thalia all right by ma-I work for you and you work 18 me."
