World Trade Benefits
Cited by Robertson
BY the Associated Press

SOUTH BOSTON. Va, July II.
Senator Robertson, Democrat,
of Virginia, said here today he
could defend a program of ex-
panded international trade from
the standpoint of it's benefits, not
only to our farmers and the
manufacturers of our chief in
dustrial export items, but also to
our economy as a whole"
In a speech prepared for de-
livery at the Halifax Farm Bu-
reau picnic and Brunswick stew,
Senator Robertson said the
most essential reason for pro-
noting this trade is it's relation
to the bigger problem of main
tanning economic and political
freedom in the world.
western Europe needs to i'm
port one-third of it's food, and if
it cannot be obtained from us,
the people must look to the area
behind the Iron Curtain for
their supplies :" he said.
1T is, therefore, a matter of
self-interest as we'll as moral
obligation for us to work out
ways of sharing our food and
clothing materials with the ma
tions which want to remain free
and which are willing to fight
for their liberties" Senator Rob-
ertSon said. But we should do
this through the channels of
normal international trade in
which our allies can maintain
their Self-respect and feel that
we all are partners in a common
enterprise"

Washington sources said Fri

Mr.. .Rhee were very near an

And a South Korean source
said that. IN return for a prom
ise to abide by terms of a truce,
Mr.. Rhee would get: .

2. Substantial economic assist
ance from the United States.
8. Four additional divisions for

Red Announcement
OF Reforms Expected
After Beria Firing
By The AssoeIasod Press

By The AssoeIusod Press
MOSCOW. July 11.-Western
observers believe Soviet leaders
plan to announce broad reforms
affecting millions Of citizens as
an aftermath Of Lavrenti p.
Beria's custer. This opinion was
expressed as the Russian press
today reported widespread popu-
lar denunciation of the former
deputy premier as an enemy Of
the people.
The reforms were expected to
include important changes in the
administration Of Soviet law and
agricultural policies, as well as
price cuts and moves to increase
the Russian standard Of living.
An editorial in the Communist
Party newspaper Pravda gave
support to the view that some
changes were In the wind. It
charged Beria had used his pow
er as first deputy premier and
police chief to block important
and urgent" measures in agri-
culture and law reform. With
his removal it seemed logical
that the government would 60
ahead with these measures.
Warm Approval Claimed.
Pravda also claimed the entire
Soviet people warmly approved
the actions Of the party and the
government against Beria, fired
from the party and government
as an agent Of international i'm
perialism.
Millions and millions of So
Wet people "wrathfully condemn
the criminal actions of the invet-
crate enemy of the people and
the party, Beria, and call for in
tenSif1cation of revolutionary
vigilance" the newspaper de-
clared.
Western sources here ex-
pressed the view that Beria's
custer did not indicate any pol
Icy reversalS by Premier Malen-
kov'S government, but rather a
strengthening Of those policies.
(Western European diplo-
matte sources also Speculated
that the purge of the former
police car did not indicate any
change in Russian foreign
policy. But the Big Three for
eign ministers, meeting in
Washington, repeatedly agreed
that it might foreshadow a
turn-about in the Kremlin's
recent conciliatory attitude to
the West.
CAS- police chief, Beria had
the job of keeping the satellite
states in line and presumably
will be made the Scapegoat for
the unrest that has been
sweeping the peoples of those
nations.
Qn Vienna, the newspaper
VidenSke Svobodne Listy-
published by Czechoslovak ex-
ileS in the Austrian capital
suggested yesterday that a
struggle for power similar to
the Kremlin battle that led to
Beria's downfall is now going
on in c o m m unist ruled
Czechoslovakia.) .
Asks Strong leadership.
Although Beria was officially
accused Of attempting to "un-
dermine the Soviet state in the
interest Of foreign capital"
Pravda said little on this theme.
Calling for a strengthening Of
Leadership in all links of the
party and state apparatus" the
editorial repeated most of the
original denunciation of Beria
and added long quotations from
various speakers at workers ral-
lies throughout the nation. It
also declared:
-Four provocateur and enemy
Of the party, Beria, who was
cleverly disguised, worked his
way by various Vaccinations
into leadership.
The party teaches us to re-
member and never forget the
capitalist encirclement which is

midst its agents for subversive
work.
