Expect ilnnouncemient A Beria-yllas Been Executed

By DON DA.l..l..AB- LONDON. (Reuters)-A bald an- nouncement is expected shortly from Moscow that Lavrenty P.

Beris. and his six helpers have been executed before a firing squad.

A volley of rifle allots end a 30-year feud between the vlet army and the Soviet secret police. it will leave Georgi Malenkov-the man who backed the army to win- ihe master of the Kremlin.

The thin-lipped, scholarly - look- ing former police chief who dared to vie with Malenkov for Stalin's mantle will face no judge or Jury. according to the terms of Wednes- day night's ar uncemcnt.

In Russia, the formal hearing of charges against accused persons is merely the ratification of a judgment already reached.

No Appeal Allowed

he Moscow announcement that mvcstlgations into "the Berle case" have been completed means that the seven men have already been found guilty. Moscow radio said they admitted their guilt.

The announcement said that the formal hearing would be made by a special sitting of the supreme court larder procedure laid down by "the law of Dec. 1. 1934."

This law specifies "the highest measure of punishment" for the accused person or persons.

It also provides that the sen- tence should be carried out im- mediately after it has been pro- nounced.

The case is heard "without the participation of the parties." This means that Berla and the other six will not be present. It also indicates that the trial will be in lecret.

The law moreover speciiiesthat '

That trial also was held in sec- ret. Pulling the wires behind the scenes were the sinister figures of the secret police. who were or- ganizing Soviet purges which rocked the world.

soviet army leaders never forgot the lesson of 1936 when Stalin used the secret police .to purge the army.

Now. in 1958. Malenkov has used the army to purge the secret pol- ice. Even the Soviet state prosec- utor today is an army man-Gen. Roman A. Rudetnko:

with the elimination of Berle and his men-all his co-accused had been connected in some way or another with the secret police- the Soviet army emerges as the dominant power factor on the sov- iet icene.

Malenkov's future will depend on the army's continued allegiance to him.

first Bahery Being Set Up At ft. Meade

By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGr'!'ON. (AP)-The army announced Thursday night the first "Nike" anti-aircraft guided misle battery is being installed at Ft. Meade, Md.-- obviously to provide protection for Washington. Baltimore and industrial-military targets in the surrounding area.

It also discussed officially for the first time some details of the faster-than-sound weapon designed to track down and destroy, "re- gardless of evasive action," invad- ing cnemy aircraft.

It said the Nike system. to be extended to other vital areas of the east and west coasts and the northern half of the country, "will provide defended areas with a. far greater degree of anti-aircraft pro- tection than was even before pos- sible with the more limited ranges and altitudes of conventional anti- aircraft guns?”

The army said:

"Nike is the nation's first coni- bat - ready surface-to-air guided mlssle system to be put in use in

the air defence system of the United States. Nike la Mobile

"ft is also the army's first super- sonic gulded missle to demon- strate its ability to knock enemy aircraft out of the sky.

"The mlsale can out-manoeuvre bombers, fighters or transport planes.

"Nike can operate regardless of weather; conditions and visibility.

"The Nike system is mobile. All units of the system other than the launching racks are housed in specially designed all-weather van- type trailers. If necessary the sys- tem can be transported by air."

Hero is the official description of the miaale named after t-he Greek goddess of victory:

Explosive Warhead

About 20 feet long and one foot in diameter. with two sets of fins for guidance and steering.

The initial impetus. when the

lng rack standing in vertical po- sition, comes from a booster rocket. Its own power in full flight comes from liquid fuel in its rocket engine.

Inside the slander body of the misslee is an explosive warhead- which will explode only when in flight, thus avoiding danger if the missle misses the mark and falls on to a (city.

The army gave no details of the guidance system but it presum- ably includes a. radar scanning dc- vlce to locate the enemy bomber, then other electronic devices to take over control of the temtlnal phase of the flight and "home in" on the target. --

Churchill Urges Western Guarantees To Russia

By Philip Clarke

LONDON. (AP)-Prime Minister Churchill Thursday expressed con- fidence that he had sold President Eisenhower and the French on "the justice and advantage" of of- fering Russia guarantees against aggreslon.

"The Soviet Union is entitled to assurances against aggression af- ter what she suffered at Hitler's hnt'ldB,""h! told the "House or" conf- mons in a review of world affairs.

"I think I was successful in pressing upon my colleagues at Bermuda the justice and advantage of such a course even though Rus- sian strength is so vast." he said.

Churchill said he hopes the pro- posed fourvpower foreign minist- ers' meeting in Berlin will pro- duce "some means to provide Rus- sia with a sense of security aris- ing from other facts than mere forces."

"Beam 0! Light.”

Russia has agreed to the Berlin meeting. but has not yet accepted the Jan. 4 date proposed. .

Churchill brirnmed with confi- dence and good humor in his speech.

He said President Eisenhower-'s recen-t United Nations speech pm- posing a world pool of atomic pow- ers for peaceful development of the atom was "one of the most im- portnnt events in world history since the end of the war."

"I fervently hope the Soviet Uri- ion will not ignore this beam of light amid so much darkness and confusion." Churchill said.

"I trust they (the Russians) will advance wth the confidence to which their own strength entitles them along the path which cer- tslnly leads in the direction of ex- panding welfare and calming the fears of the masses of the people of all the world."

"We in Britain have already dis- covered almost as much as our American allies and it is possibly true that our Russian fellow mort- als-because that is what they are-may well know almost as much as either of us."

Warned France

Giving a quick fill-in on the Bermuda talks, Churchill said he had felt it his duty "to give warn- ing to our French friends of the gravity of the situation which might ecour" if France should fail to ratify the European "Defence Community plan.

He added that fatal dlffloultlas might arise in what he called the deplorable alternative of trying to bring West Germany into the wider North Atlantic alliance.

Without elaborating, he said-it would be a pity for Anglo-Ameri- can relations "to be expressed in Mocnrthy-Bevvanlte terms."

This was a thrust at Senator

xioaoph McCarthy and Aneurin Be-

van. leader of a left-win faction in the Labor party.

SUVA, Fiji. (Reuters: - Ten thousand Fljialls cheered Thurs- day night when a radiant Queen Elizabeth stepped with the Duke of Edinburgh onto the flood-lit balcony of the Grand Pacino Hotel here.

The Queen wore a lace crimi- line gown of soft blue. Her dia- monri tiara and necklace flashed in the bright light.

When the crowd broke out into cheers ahe moved to the front of the balcony and waved back her ncknowledglrlent.

For Fijians the two days of the Queen's visit are the most excit- lng since the 322 islands which form the group were ceded to Queen Victoria in 1874.

Below the royal couple, in the blue haze of a moonlit tropical night. a massed choir of hundreds of Fljians sang "God Save The Queen”, "Tile Lord Is My Shep- herd". "Hall, Smiling Morn", the "l-lalleluj,ali Chorus” and a Fijian song of farewell, "Ice Lei".

Earlier, iorchbeal-el's escorted the lQueen and the Duke to the hotel for the state ball-climax to the 'nrst day of the Queen's tour.
