prisoners were either progress

Commies to get better treat

fore he left Korea had said that
the South Koreans had given
categorical assurance" that they
won't upset the newly-won arm

Today's conference took place
at the Lowry Air Force Base

visit to his Office in the admins

Before going to his second
floor Office, the President strolled
down the corridor on the first
floor to take a look at the con-

A few minutes later presi-
Dental aide announced that the
conference was being held in

dressed in a dark business suit
and Malenkov IN the same I'M
decorated kind of gray party
uniform he wore yesterday.
One of the more notable things
about the way the leaders seated
themselves in the Supreme
Soviet was that Beria and NAL
enkov usually sat next to each
other. Often during the speeches
and proceedings they talked with
each other in an enliyened fash
ion.
Obvious to Foreigners.
Russians noticed this, as did
the foreigners present.
Did this indicate, as many
Russians thought, a genuine col
liberation under Stain of these
two very powerful men?
Or was it, as some Westerners
in Moscow suggested, more in
the nature of a deliberate polit-
ical demonstration intended to
convey the impression of close
unity and cooperation between
the police headed by Beria and
the party administration headed
largely by Malenkov?
Probably we will never know
the inside story on the rela-
tions between these two men,
whether they ever did see eye
to eye, and if they did just how
they came to the parting of the
ways.
