Attend Soviet Session
BY the Assoei1ted Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 22.-Marshal
Georgi K. Zaukov, Marshal Kon-
stantin Rokossovsky and former For
eign Minister Maxim Litvinof were
among the delegates attending
Thursday nights session of the Su-
preme Soviet.
The two marshals, wearing their
uniforms, sat together. Marshal
Zhukov was succeeded last year as
chief of the ground forces by Mar
shall Ivan S. Konev. Subsequently
he was reported to have been ap-
pointed commander of the Soviet
military district of Odessa.
Mr.. Litvinoff. former Ambassador
to the United States, later was a
deputy foreign minister. He was
relieved of the latter duties last
year and has spent most of his
time resting in Southern Russia
Mr.. LStvinof'S S removal from the
Foreign Ministry last August caused
considerable speculation that he was
out of favor at the Kremlin because
of his strong advocacy of close So
Wet american relations. American
diplomats called Mr.. Litvinoff's re-
moval a blow to Russian American
relations at the time it was an
nounced.
Marshal zhukov's lapse into COM
parative obscurity also has provoked
comment outside Russia, British
sources concluding at the time OF
his removal as commander of Rus
sian ground forces that the Soviet
military had lost a "tug-of- war
with the Communist Party in the
immediate postwar period. During
the war years, Marshal zhukoy
served as chief of the Russian gen.
eral staff and as commander of the
entire Russian western front.

emit only a tiny squeak as rescuers,
lowered into the 12-foot-deep cess
pool by ropes, wrapped him in
blankets warmed on auto hoods,
and took him home.
A physician looked the boy over
and said numbness and hunger

trouble.
The boy, weighing only 64 pounds

tried to sleep until he got too cold,

Police Merger Bill
Set for Subcommittee
Hearing on tuesday

The controversial bill to merge the
United States Park Police into the
Metropolitan Police Department will
come up for public hearing at 1890
am. Tuesday before a House District
subcommittee.
Chairman Beall, sponsor of the
measure, said he would strongly
support the proposal before his Sub
committee on Public Service, Streets
and Traffic.
Previous Bill Vetoed.
An identical bill passed the last
Congress but was vetoed by Presi-
dent Truman. In his veto message
Of July, 1945, Mr.. Truman said he
was convinced the effect of the
merger would be to impair rather
than improve law enforcement in the
park areas of the city.
Chief opponent of the proposal
had been former Secretary of the
Interior Ickes, under whose juris-
diction the Park Police operated as
part of the National Park Service.
Representative Beall, Republican,
of Maryland reintroduced the bill
in this Congress, he said, because he
remains strongly convinced the
merger would operate for both eff
cheney and economy. The bill pro-
vides that the Park Police would
be abolished and its personnel and
powers transferred to the Metro
politan Police.
Another Bill Up.
Another bill, concerning both po-
lice and firemen, will be considered
at the hearing. Introduced by Rep
resentative Mccormack, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, it would assure
seniority benefits for policemen and
fremen who lost promotion oppor-
tunities while serving in the armed
forces.
The hearing will be held in the
new District Committee room in
