NEW YORK. tAPi -- MoaooI"I handling of the Berta case demon- :-trares clearly the swiftly diminish- ir.-; power of secret police in the Soviet Union and at the same time a rise in power and influence of the Soviet. Army.

Suddenly and surprisingly, the case against former police boss Lavrenty Bcria has been dragged from its obscurity and has become the subject for intensive propa- i.a.nda.

This treatment reinforces the im- pression that the remaining six rulers of the Communist party em- pire have been forced together into an uneasy collective leadersliip which might better be called col- leotive scciirity. Their attitude to- ward one another seems to be that of equals dealing with equals, all of whom face the same dangers nnd uncertainties.

The impression was unanimous up to I few days ago among for- eign observers in Moscow that the party wanted the Berirt case to he forgotten - that some day the party would simply announce Beria had been convicted 'lnd cxeciited But somebody obviously opposed such an idea. The evidence points to the army. Recently at one of the state affairs which call for innumerable toasts, I heard Mar- shal Georgi Zhukov express him- self in it way which seemed to indicate resentment toward the party and impatience to have a final chapter written in the career of Berta.

Toast To Justice

"Thy Neighbour As Thy

Love is the basis of godliness. No one can have pure love for God without unselfish love for their neighbors. But one. cannot gain such love by trying to love others. Love of Christ must fill the heart. then, if We love God because He first loved us, we shall love all for whom Christ died. We cannot come in touch with divin- .t,v without coming into touch with humanity, for in Him who sits upon the throne nf the universe, divinity and humanity are com- bined.

In Christ we are drawn toward our fellowmr-n by the golden links of the chain of love. Then the pitv and compassion of Christ will be manifest in nur lives. No distinc- tion nf nationality. race. or castr- is the maker of all mankind. All men are of one family by creation and redemption.

Christ came to break down bar- riers, so that every soul may haw- free access to God. His love is so broad, so full. so deep. it penet- rates everywhere.

If those who are without Christ see arts of imselfish love in others it is easier for them to believe in the love of Christ. Christians should anticipate the sorrows. troubles and difficulties of others. Through contact with the suffer-

Christ manifested a love beyond the love of mankind. He died to save His r-nr-niiea. He prayed for His murderers. He says to His fc.iloM'ors: "These thin.-is I Com- mand you. that ye love one an- other as 1' have loved you." "Greater love hath no man than this. that he iriy down His lift! for His frinnds"

As Christian women it-t us be Iiga and doing while it is day, for the night. eorneth when no men can work!

asked to ootntril-site to the toasts. Looking glum and solemn Zhukov recalled that "justice" had been the subject of one of the toasts. He announced he wanted only to" support the toast to Justice.

Anastas I. Mikoyan, once mentor of Beria in the Communist party, snapped: "What's the matter, Zhu- Kov? Can't you think up your own toast?"

Stolidly Zhukiov intoned: ”I wish to support the toast to Justice." There are indications that rivalry still exists among the top mem- bers of the Communist hierarchy, and the impression one takes out of Moscow that the collective leadership holds together only be- cause it must in the face of a definite threat.

The threat seems to come from the army. And. in Berta. the army now has liquidated a man it actually considered its enemy. He was the head of the ministry of internal affairs, and. with his own private police army, intruded upon the authority and dignity of the regular armed forces.

Reduced MVD Power

The destruction of Bevin and his most trusted aides reduces the power of the MVD. and the lessen- lng of MVD power means a weak- ening of the Cmnmunist party's police arm.

There are many indications in the Soviet Union today of this waning MVD influence. The minis- try is being pushed out of author- ity in the villages and farms at a swift rate, and replaced by a com- bination of Oommunlst party cadres and agrioulttirai and technical spe- tialists.

It is highly significant that Berta was accused of hampering the agri- cultural program. The network throughout the Soviet Union of machine tractor stations. whose function on paper was to supply machinery to collective farms, had in fact been turned into a network of bases for the secret police and a weapon of political power. Great political power could be. wielded in the countryside through the life- and-death authority to dole out the means of agricultural production.

With the MVD pushed out of this important sector of the economy. the army appeared to have fallen into line with the new consumer program-in effect an economic jmobilization of the U.S.S.R. .-igalrst ythe pouiblc accident of a third ,ivorld war. The army conceded that ,the program outlined by the gov- 'ernment, under Premier Georgi IMale'nkov, and the party. under :N. S. Khnixrnchev, was a means inf "strengthening the might of the soviet motherland."

Out Of Atomic

Apparently. too. the MVD was eased out of the atomic energy plrogriun with the. fall of Bet-in. That has been turned over to the direction of a general with tech- nical know-how, Vyachnslav Ma'iy- shev, who since his appointment to a new and mysterious ”niinistry of medium industry" has faded completely from public view.

Now there appears to be a stand- off between the Communist party and the army. a sort of uneasy truce with each watching the other carefully.

Thus. the collective leadership being talked about by the Coin- munist party since the death of Stalin is rt-zil in this respect:

It is ll collective of six individuals who rule the party and govern- ment together because this is no time for any one of them in at- tempt to emerge as the dictatorial boss.

These six are Malenkov. Khrush- chev. Foreign Minister V, M. Molo- tov. Defence Mlnlster Nicolai Bul- ganin, Vice-Premier Lazar KRgIll'l(l- i-itch and Trad. Minister Mlkman.

There is no single boss. appar- ently because none wants to ric- cupy that uncomfortable position at this juncture.

Awkard Case

For the party. the Berta case was awkward. Berlin. according to the Soviet encyclopedia publisltwi in 1050 and still embarrassingly present in current. sets in tho U.S.S.R.. "carried out great work in destroying the Manshevik. Dash- nak and Mtissavitlst parties" after the revolution. But last Wednesday they accused him of having been an agent of those groups.

notes that Beria held the rank of: marshal of the. Soviet Union, five:

(By Alvin Sfelnkopf)

LONDON, tAPi It is time. says the authoritative journal. "Tailor and Cutter", for the pro-

perly dressed gentleman to wear a cummerhuiid.

The fancy vcst is on its way out-the niugazine which is the final arbiter on British men's fashions, reported Monday with a touch of regret-and the cummcr- bund is coming in.

It is it six-inch strip of gaily colored silk which ancienily was wrapped many times around the middle of a gentleman, under the coat. and over the pants.

It's virtue is, said the mags- zlne, that ”it covers the ugly wrinkled gap between shirt and

top of trousers."

But the modern vunimeriiund isn't wrapped round and round, and the wearer doesn't have to funvvind to undress. it is an art- ifully shaped piece of cloth which

spreads out gorgeously in front. and snaps ht-hind with press studs. or is fastened with a buckle.

W'lth Pocket!

Dressing can be managed with-

out a valet. if uiifortiinalcly a lgentleman is out of vzilets. l Cuninicriiilntis. ivhit'li pirates. Imodicvnl orientnls and early Eliz- Eabellinns used to wear, were frankly ornamental.

But the model advocated by the ,modcrn stylists is a useful bit of ttoggery in that it is fitted with ipockets.

i A man without a vest doesn't ,have a convenient place to keep his hettiiig slips. But. the new cunimcrhunil provides the indo- iaway adopting loosely the prin- ciplc of the money bolt.

. ”Fnsliion, let's face it. is very much a matter of snohhcry,” said .”'l'”ailor and Cutter."

l ”So the vast over-popularization of the fancy waistcoat must mt-an ills death as a high fashion ac- ilrossory. This does not mean ili:it vii will not continiie in be niade land worn bill it the top end of the trade must ho- gln to think in terms of a gimmick. We vote the riimniei'- bund as most likely to suci-oed."

Says large-Stale Call-Girl Racket In Vancouver

VANCOUVER, (CF) - Existence of it l:ti'ge-:.:ale ”call-;.virl" racket il('f'(' was disclosed by the Vancou-

iTu-esday and Police Chief Walter :Mulllgaii says his force is virtual- ly unable to stamp it out.

"We know that these women are operating." the chief said. "We know thcy are definitely 'in busin- ess' but they are careful and op- erate with such tact, that nabbiiig them in the act is a tremendous job. It is almost imponible to get the evidence so necessary to con-

- Vict."

The Province story, by reporters

iclare Anderson and Ray Munro,

said the call girl system is "a new pattern in the fabric of com- merclalized immorality."

Girls are called by telephone. or

.picked up by a car, and taken to

hotels or apartments or wiherever a rendelvous is arranged.

r The reporters said they talked to one girl who admitted "quite cheerfully" that she was a call girl She told them that she made 27 'vlsiis' last week and on two calls between 4 pm. and midnight Priday was paid 070.

Not 7. fe-lonals

After a few experiences with bullies "who stole my money and beat me" she acquired a taxi- &-lver as her "friend and protect- or". "One of the things that leaves us absolutely up in the air about the whole thing.” Chief Mulligan said. "is that a certain percentage of call girls are not piofmional prostitutes in the accepted sense.

"They are business girls and.

believe it or not, housewives."

some dioceses of the Anglican Church in Oanads have planned to contribute though not an an organ- ized national scale.
