This was an obvious dig at
some Democrats who have con-

been firm enough in his dealings
with Congress, with the conse-

go before the people Gin the 1854

have a program Of which we

Gen. Eisenhower took humor-

MeteoroIogists Plan to Do
Something About Weather

The statement that Every

That is made clear by an

Severe Punishment
OF Beria After Quick
Trial is Forecast
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, July II. = Both
Western and Russian observers
in Moscow came forth today with
calculated answers to the big
question: What happens next in
the Soviet treason case against
Lavrenty P. Beria?
BaSing their speculation on OBJ
servation of Soviet justice and
past performance, they generally
summed up the immediate fu-
ture like this:
/. The fallen deputy premier
will be put on trial in the SUI
preme court as a traitor without
much delay and severely pun
iShed
2. First news Of the proceed
lngs may go to the outside world
from accounts published in
Pravda and other newspapers.
3. The first accounts could be
In the form of brief official
communique rather than news
paper reports.
4. More complete reports may
become available after the pro-
ceedings have taken place.
Ask Severe Punishment.
The Moscow press was full of
demands for severe punishment
Of Beria.
"a buildup of worker denun-
Citations of Beria apparently is
propaganda preliminary to the
court trial itself.
Evening Moscow said the di-
rector of Moscow's hammer and
sickle steel factory declared:
1--WE. the metalurgistS of the
Capital, demand that the severe
hand off Soviet justice should
mercileSsly punish this freak
and deviationist."
A girl plasterer, Tamara De-
micheva, was quoted as saying:
''It was with enormous indigna-
ton and wrath that we, the
youth of the university construc-
ton project, learned of the re-
pulsive activities of the despised
hireling of foreign people,
Beria -.
Many columns were devoted to
reporting indignation mass meet
ings throughout the Soviet Union
against Beria.
WrathfuI Condemnation.
But none of the papers re-
ported any new developments in
his case or any new informa-
tion on the charges against him.
Pravda, Communist Party
newspaper, said the entire So
Wet people approved the action
of the party and government in
removing Beria from his post as
No. l vice premier and interior
minister and from his party po-
SitionS. It declared speeches at
factory and farm rallies all over
the country demonstrated a steel
unity of the Soviet people and q
awrathful condemnation of the
criminal actions of the inveter-
ate enemy Of the people and
party, Beria." y.
The editorial did not stress
particularly the connection be-
tween Beria and foreign enemies
of the Soviet Union that was al
legged in the first publication Of
the charges.
But it accused him Of worming
his way into a position Of lead
ership where he blocked import
ant government decisions in the
field of agriculture and in the
direction of softening punish
ment for certain types of crimes.

New Joint ChieisDue
For Month Of Study !.
Before Taking Office
By John A. Giles

The new Joint Chiefs Of Staff
arrive here over the weekend
to familiarize themselves with
top strategic problems before be-
ginning q review Of military
forces which observers believe
may result in elimination OF the
controversial term wings" in
measuring Air Force strength.
The number Of aircraft rather
than the number Of wings would
be a more accurate means of
measuring airpower. according
to some Pentagon officials. 1t is
now believed that would follow
the idea Of Admiral Arthur w.
Radford. the new chairman.
The Air Force now has an in
terim target of 100 wings. pend
ing the review. The Truman ad-
ministration target was 143
wings.
One top Pentagon official pre-
dicted yesterday the new Chiefs

craft.
Number Of Planes Varies.
A wing consists of 80 bombers
or IS fighters. But there is an
equal number Of reserve aircraft
in each wing. plus spares and
tanker and cargo planse. Then
behind all this. are bombers and
ghters used in training the pilots
and crewmen for combat wings
Secretary Of Defense Wilson
who faced prolonged congress
sional questioning on his All
Force plans, frequently asked
Senators why they presisted In
talking about wings. He said
numbers of aircraft would be
more realistic and accurate.
The new study of the military
picture in the light Of interna-
tional changes since the force
levels were set up three years
ago will take more into consid-
Grafton the economic ability OF
the country to foot the defense
bill. The Joint Chiefs heretofore
have not given too much con-
Sideration to this factor.

consulted the Joint Chiefs as an
