Red Historians Hurry to Revise
Books Heoping Praise on Berio
Pureed Leader Now Must Be Labeled
AS Criminal and Degenerate Tool

Russians get somewhere with it,
somebody is purged and the
whole thing starts over again.
After many revisions required
by Stalin's purges, the great So
Wet Encyclopedia finally reached
the eighteenth of so projected
volumes. Volume S concerns the
letter "B" and, naturally, Beria
is in there, along with a big
full-page, idealized portrait.

ingly refers to Beria as lone OF

Soviet Union) and the Soviet
government, loyal follower and
close companion-in- arms of j. V,
Stain. :" 1t lists his medals,
his achievements, his honorS and
calls him all sorts of glowing
names.
Now Beria becomes criminal, "
a degenerate tool of the i'm
perialistS." "vile enemy of the
people and state, and an un-
bridled adventurer. These are
among the milder epithets.
So the Communist agents at
home and abroad are calling in
all sorts of books. Among them
are "The History of the October

It's going to cost a pretty

1t will be one of the toughest
jobs today in the Soviet Union,
and it will fall, primarily, to a
man named P. X. Ponomarenko,
the minister of culture.
The process of purging does
not mean simply arresting and
trying the former interior min
lister and police boss. 1t means
eXpunging the record of Beria,
which is a real tough operation.

A sharp increase in bouncing
checks was reported here yes
terday by police and credit off,
cials.
A Star survey showed more
people are trying to pass bad
checks and lot more are in
tentionally overdrawing their
bank accounts in Washington.
Police, Credit Bureau and store
spokesmen all attributed the in
crease to money getting tighter
! jobs fewer and savings accounts
being squeezed by high prices.
Actual police statistics, COM
pairing the year ending in June
with the previous fiscal year,
show only a slight increase in
the number of bad checks report
ed, but a So per cent increase in
their face value.
These statiSticS-as far as the
number of cases goes-do not re-
fleet the whole picture because
merchants frankly admit they
aren't reporting every case. And
the statistics do not show checks
that bounce because of INSULT
cient funds" but later are made
good.
The Credit Bureau reported a
tremendous increase" in the
number of bad checks being
passed here, starting about Febr-
uary /. A bureau spokesman
said at least twice, and perhaps
three times as many, have been
passed in the past six months
as in a comparable period pre-
viously.
This fits with reports from
all over the country.

were sent to Springfield, ILL.,, for
examination.
Mr.. Winters said all had been
buried in the f1exed position,
knees against the chin. The find
was made in an excavation Is u
feet deep.
The chronology of the site was
established, Mr.. Winters said, by
comparison with other sites of
the Archaic period. Dates of the
finds will be checked by radio
carbon methods, using bits of
charred wood found on the
scene.
Rarest finds at the site near
the Mississippi River were spear
thrower weights, small bits of
stone used as a balance in throw
ing spears. Mr.. Winters said
further digging might reveal
evidence of Folsom man whose
artifacts were first found near
Folsom, N. M.

pipeline will be pulled across
the straits 1850 feet to the east
of the line just laid.
