Times-Gazette Staff Photo | TOP HATCHET MAN Beria, Feared Police Chief Fired, Branded As Traitor . By THOMAS P. WHITNEY MOSCOW (AP) -- Lavrenti P. Beria, longtime head of Russia's police forces and first deputy to Premier Malenkov, has been fired from the Soviet government, ex- pelled from the Communist party and turned over to his nation's | highest tribunal as a traitor. The party newspaper Pravda de- nounced him today as an agent of international imperialism and an 'enemy of the Communist party and the Soviet people." OUT OF OFFICE A party communique said Malen- kov himself outlined the case against Beria at a recent meeting of the party central committee, which took away party member- ship and office from the 53-year- old veteran Red. A separate communique said the presidium of the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) had removed Beria from his posts as first ' deputy premier of the Soviet Union and minister of internal affairs. "It was decided also by the presidium that the case .on the criminal actions of L. P. Beria should be turned over to the Su- preme Court of the USSR," the announcement added. THREE LEFT His downfall left Malenkov with three deputy ministers: Foreign Minister Molotov, War Minister Nikolai Bulg anin and Lazarus Kaganovich. The party accused Beria of "criminal activities designed at subverting the Soviet state in the | interests of foreign capitalism" and of trying to put his internal affairs ministry "higher than the government and Communist party of the Soviet Union." SOUGHT CAPITALISM Pravda said he had planned sec- retly to 'seize the leadership of the party and the country" in order to restore capitalism. (In Western capitals, non-Com- munist observers speculated that Beria is the first victim of the power struggle within the Krem- in following Stalin's death, and also that he possibly is being made the scapegoat for the recent East German uprisings and other unrest in the Soviet satellites). The charge that Beria acted in the interests of foreign imperialism was viewed here as a clear rofer- ence to the recent riots in Berlin and the release o fNorth Korean Session PANMUNJOM (AP)--Allied and Communist negotiators held a brief | . : meeting today and apparently ran | Tax reductions and a contribu- into no snags in their efforts to tory health insurance scheme are clear the final obstacles to a Kor- back in the forefront of the elec- ean truce despite South Korea's |tion campaign.

No party should promise that unless prepared to borrow money and in- crease the national debt. "And that would be, as Mr. (Finance Minister) Abbott said, trying to buy votes with our chil- dren's earnings." He referred to the Progressive Conservative challenge to say whether the Liberals will retain farm price support and whether he will remain Liberal leader if elected. If returned Aug. 10, he would '"'carry on as prime minister just as long as I feel I am capable of performing the duties of that office effectively."

The hunt is expected to widen today to include nearby Fox, Myr- tle and Catastrophy lakes. One group of searchers Thursday morning picked up a rusty pail on the edge of a swamp southwest of Wade, six miles west of here. The old berry picking pail may be a clue to the disappearance of an aged man here several years ago. George Warren, the missing man, went out picking berries in July 1946 and was never heard from.

The announcement came only an hour before the royal couple was scheduled to leave a mountain re- sort hotel near here for a day-long drive. It said the 22-year-old Prin- cess will return by air today to Salisbury, the Southern Rhodesia capital, while the Queen Mother maintains the timetable of the tour. Margaret had not been due to return to Salisbury until Sunday. The schedule called for the Queen Mother and Princess to remain in Salisbury until next Thursday when they were to have flown back to London. No mention was made in the announcement of Margaret's re- turning to London where the news- papers are openly commenting on her reported romance with RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend, 38.

ESTIMATED COST $2,070,000 The total estimated cost of the plan now adopted approximates on- ly $2,070,000. While this is some- what more than the original es- timate, the plan provides 31 ad- ditional beds at a much lower rate per bed than was the cse whene only 100 additional beds were con- templated. Of the estimated amount requir- ed, $331,000 would be provided by government grants and $850,000 through debentures of the City of Oshawa as authorized by the rate- payers last December. This leaves a balance of $889,000 to be raised by grants, or the issue of deben- tures, by other municipalities serv- ed by the hospital, and subscrip- tions from industry and the gen- eral public. Reeve Elmer Powell, who re- prsents the County of Ontario on the Hospital Board, mentioned that a special committee of the County Council has already been appoint- ed to investigate the problem of hospital grants by the County. The Board agreed that as all of the money would not be required at one time, payments might be spread over two or three years. LOUISBOURG, N. S. (CP)--De- termined fishermen, aided by po- lice and a plane, hunted the waters off eastern Cape Breton Island to- day for a killer fish which has taken the life of one man and threatened a dozen others. The unknown fish, believed to be {a giant shark, gouged a two-foot | section out of a lobster boat Thurs- | day, capsized it and caused the drownii of John Burns, 40.

At that time he was remanded for a month in the care of the Ontario Hospital | at Whitby for mental examination. | Today Magistfate Frank S.
