Konev Condemned Berio,
Keeps Zhukov in Check
BY TOM WHITNEY

Associated Press Foreign Stan Writer
Marshal Ivan Konev. the SUI
preme commander of the new
East European Communist uni
fed military command, is the
man the Kremlin picked to con-
denim to death former Secret
Police Chief Lavrenti Beria.
Marshal Konev is the man Jo-
seph Stain used to replace pou-
lar Marshal Georgi Zhukov in
1916 as deputy minister of armed
forces and commander of So
Wet land forces.
Marshal Konev is the man the
present rulers of the Soviet
Union-Communist Party Boss
Nikita Khruschev and Premier
Nikolai Bulganin-are using as
counterweight against any pos
siblity Marshal Zhukov might
get too big as minister of de-
tense.
Russians who claim to know
say Marshals Zhukov and Konev
have an intense disliking for
each other.
Trusted by Leaders
Marshal Zhukov is said to con-
slider Marshal Konev a poor mill
tary leader. One reliable account
says that during the most intense
phase of the final offensives
against Germany in World War
II, Marshal Zhukov was so fear
full Marshal Konev would wreck
the whole operation with his in
eptitude he sent his own chief of
staff, Marshal v. D. Sokolovsky.
to take over as Marshal Konev's
chief of staff and run the opera
ton.
But it is clear from the assign
ment of Marshal Konev to pre-
side at the Beria trial that he is
trusted by Mr.. Khruschchev and
Marshal Bulganin. Almost GER
tainly Marshal Konev has been
involved in some of the intrigues
in top Soviet circles before Pre-
mier Stalin's death and since.
There has been on official an
nouncement but apparently Mar
shall Konev now holds post as
first deputy minister of defense
the job from which Marshal
Zhukov was promoted to become
minister. This is the same title
held by Marshal Alexander Va
silevsky, another man who is said
to have no great love for Marshal
Zhukov.
Entered Army in 1918
! Marshal Konev'S official bio
graphy as given in Soviet sources:
He was born in 1897 in the
village of Lodeino of the Kirov
region in East Central European
Russia. His father was a poor
peasant. He entered the Soviet
Arm in 1918. Joined the Com
munist Part the same year and
fought in the civil war. In 1925
he completed the course for
commanding personnel at the
Frunze Military Academy in
Moscow. And in 1884 he COM
pleted a course at the special
facult of that military educa-
tional institution.
! In World War II, he was COM
mander of the armies of the
Kalinin, Steppe and list and I'd
Ukranian fronts, successfully
His official biograph says that
under his command serious de-
feats were dealt out to the Ger

'SupremeCourt
Review Asked
BySam Beard

Samuel n. beaTQ, 1OTneT gam
bier. yesterday sought Supreme
Court review of his conviction
and five-year prison sentence on
a point that could affect all
Federal income taxpayers.
Boards counsel, Michael Gould
and Thomas j. Kenney. filed
petition for a writ of certiorari.
to review his conviction by the
Federal Court in Baltimore and
affirmation of the conviction by
the United States Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals.
One of the issues raised is
whether individual income tax
records which a taxpayer is re-
quired to keep are public records
which do not come under the
protection Of the Fifth Amend
ment. This amendment says:
mo person shall be COM
PEELED in any criminal case to be
witness against himself"
Claim No Precedent
Boards attorneys say the Su-
preme Court has never ruled on
this point as applied to individ-
ual income tax records.
Beard contends that the ap-
peals court improperly extended
the doctrine of a 1948 Office Of
Price Administration decision by
the Supreme Court. In that case,
by 5-4 decision. the high court
held that records required to be
kept by the Emergency Price
Control Act are public records.
The lower court erred in ex-
tending this principle to Boards
individual income tax records,
the attorneys say.
Second Point Raised
A second major point of error
raised in the petition for review
contends the lower court in
structed the jury that the de-
PENDANT may exercise his con-
stitutional right by refusing to
surrender or allow inspection of
his records on the grounds of
possible standardization but
that such action "is a circum-
stance which may be considered
by you. the jury, in determining"
the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANT In a criminal proceed
ing.
The attorneys in their brief
argue:
Petitioner objected that this
instruction, though correctly
recognizing his constitutional
right, completely nullified that
right by stating that his exercise
of the right was a circumstance
which might be considered :"

Would Replace Krider
Mr.. Wolfson's three choices
for the board are himself, Alex
ander Rittnlaster III, a New
York financial consultant, and
Bernice Fitz-Gibbon, also of
New York, an advertising and
promotion consultant.
Mr.. Wolfson's group would
take the places of three on the
original Ward management slate.
One of these is Edmund A. Kri-
der, Wards 42-year-old presi-
dent who has resigned and with
drawn his name as a candidate
for director. Names of the others
to be dropped were not an
nounced.
Sewell Avery. 81, retired as
Wards chairman Monday. He
will remain, however, as a di-
rector. His successor as chair
man is John Barr. Al, who was
vice president and general coun-
sci of the firm.
Stresses WOmen'S Role
At a news conference last
night, Mrs. Fitz-Gibbon said she
thinks her election to the Ward
board of directors will be a
good chance to show that women
have something to offer"
Il think a woman's viewpoint
in a business such as Wards Is
valuable" she said. adding:
"As a director, I expect to ex-
plore all of the fields connected
with the business including ad-
vertising. displays. the catalog
and other phases"

may be reduced to a mere
formality" and result in a false
sense of security"
The newly released documents
show a decided similarity on sew
eral major points between pre-
vious allied proposals and the
new Soviet plan. as indicated by
American officials earlier this
week.
Four Major Concessions
A comparison showed these
four major Russian concessions:
/. Acceptance of the British
French memorandum of March
90, suggesting troop cutbacks to
$4,000 each for Britain and
France and is million each
for the United States, Russia
and Red China.
2. Acceptance of the British
French proposal of April 10 that
production of atomic weapons
be banned when half the troop
cuts have been completed. and
the use of nuclear weapons be
halted when the cutback Is
three-quarters complete.
3. Apparent agreement on a
single control agency instead of
one for atomic and one for con-
ventional weapons.
4. Scrapping of insistence that
the control agency be created
only when troop and arms cut
backs begin, although the Rus
slams never went so far as to
agree to allied demands that the
agency be set up beforehand.
Rigid Stand Eased
officials said the concessions
on the troops figures was a far
cry from a previously rigid Rus
sian stand on a 80 per cent
across-the-board cutback.
The old Red proposal would
have left Russia and Red China,
which both possess huge land
armies, with more troops than
anybody else.
The United States and Cam
ada are not recorded with Brit
ain and France on the fiat fig
ures for troop levels. However,
all four Western nations joined
in an agreement March 8 or
major reductions" in man
power conventional weapons.
New Points Raised
The documents show thai
Russia brought in as something
new these three points:
/. Dismantling of foreign
bases, such as those the United
States operates in Germany anc
Africa.
2. Suspending atomic tests al
soon as disarmament cutback!
begin.
8. Withdrawing troops to ma.
tional frontiers" and leaving
only local police forces in East
and West Germany under Biz
Four supervision.

tried this by going on starvation
