DC. Police Inspector
Takes Over as Head
.0f Capitol Force
--AP Wircphoto.

Metropolitan Police Inspector
Robert c. Pearce today took over
as head of the Capitol Police
Force.
The appointment was made
by the Capitol Police Board
yesterday. Members of the board
are Joseph c. Duke, chairman,
who is Senate sergeant at arms;
Zeke Johnson, House sergeant at
arms, and J. George Stewart,
architect of the Capitol.
Inspector Pearce will succeed
Capt. William j. Broderick, who
has been head of the Capitol Po-
lice Force during Republican ad-
ministrations.
Sworn in Today.
Sworn into Office shortly be-
fore noon today, Inspector Pearce
said he wanted to make
sure all the members were prop
erly trained and qualified.
He said he had plan to as
sign the men. five at time. to
go to the Metropolitan Police
Department pistol range to check
training on fire arms. He quick
ly added. however, that he
thought at least most Of the
men already were qualified.
Asked about allowing Capitol
policemen to study law while on
duty, Inspector Pearce said he
wanted to be reasonable" but
that when a man was assigned
to patrol duty I'VE will be firm
as to that. He will be on patrol
duty-period."
If a man was assigned to some
desk job and looked at a law
book when he had no work to do,
that would be another matter,
Inspector Pearce indicated.
Remains on District Force.
Congress will reimburse the
District government for the SAL
ary of Inspector Pearce. who will
be left on the Metropolitan pay
roll so he can receive full re-
tirement benefits.
This system of payment will
follow the precedent previously
established on Capitol Hill in
the case of two officers assigned
to full-tilne duty at the Capitol.
They are Its. Michael Dowd and
Carl Schamp, assigned respec-
lively to the Senate and House
wings. They receive the pay of
captains.
Old System Not Dropped.
The appointment Of Inspector
Pearce does not mean the sys-
tenn of appointing Capitol police
by patronage from members Of
the House and Senate has been
abandoned.
Attempts in the last Congress
to eliminate the patronage sys-
tenn and set up the police force
under a merit system with civil
service benefits and retirement
failed. The House passed such
a bill, but the Senate buried it.

this short fat man rose high.

He appeared to have lot of
what it takes for success in the
Soviet Unfon-but apparently
not quite enough.
To the outside world. Mr..
Malenkov had two personalities.
two distinct characters-one be-
fore Stain died and quite a diff
ferent one after Stain.
Before Stain died. he was
known chiefly for the scowl in
his photographs. After Stalin's
death. he showed himself as a
smiling chubby fellow with thick.
wavy hair and a winning way.
Before Stain died, Malenkov
never saw a foreigner. never
gave one an interview, never
spoke to one at a reception.
After Stains death. Malenkov
received a few foreigners in his
office but saw many at official
receptions-not only in the
Kremlin but also in foreign
embassies. He had lengthy con-
versations with foreign ambas-
sadors and was frank in ex-
pressing to them some of his
views, and ideas.
Malenkov's rise was as dra-
matte as his fall.

Power Granted to MoIenkov
Didn't Quite Match Stains

mas uILeQ. Inc large soviet en-.
cyclopedia has a full page biog-
raphy of him.
He was born on january 8,
1902. in Orenburg. on the bor-
der between Europe and Asia.
His father is described as an
"employe." probably middle
class business or government
official. Although he eventually
became head of a government
which styled itself a "proletarian
dictatorship" his background
appeared to be neither prole-
tartan nor working class.
He volunteered in the Red
Army during the civil war. In
April. 1920, he joined the Com
munist Party and from 1919 to
1921 he was a political worker
in army units on the eastern
and Turkmenian fronts.
After rehabilitation from the
army he studied from l92l-1925
at the Moscow Higher Technical
School. There he first attracted
the attention of party higher
ups. He got an engineering edu-
cation which was to prove useful
to him later. But more than
this he won his spurs in Com
muniSt Party organization work,
becoming one of the leaders of
the party organization in the
school.
Did Responsible Work.
From 1925 to 1880 he was in
responsible work in the appa-
ratus Of the Central Committee
Of the Communist Party" ac-
cording to his biography. Such
work often carries more actual
authority than official cabinet
rank.
Malenkov was soon assigned to
one of the most responsible spots
-Stalin's personal secretariat.
Reputedly he was in charge of
Stalins own secret file on party
and government personalities.
From the very start MalenkoV
apparently was a key man in Sc
lection of top-level personnel in
the USSR.
From 1880 to 1943 Malenkov
was "in leadership work in the
Moscow Committee of The Com
munist Party" key organiza-
ton of the Soviet Union at a
key period. At this time there
were emerging in the Soviet Cap
ital those young men destined
to move shortly afterward into
top spots in the Soviet setup.
Malenkov was the head of the
Moscow Communist Party's per-
sonnet department.
From 1884 to 1899 he headed
the section of leading party or
gans of the Central Committee
of che Soviet Communist Party"
the official biography states.
Those were the years of Stalin's
blood purge. Throughout it
Malenkov was responsible to
Stain for recommending dismiss
sails of men from leading posi-
tions and promotion of other
men to fill their jobs. One au-
thority on the Soviets has said
that Malenkov was one of a
three-man committee under
Stain to purge the party. He
played a leading role in the 1897
purge of nearly the entire top
layer of Communist Party and
government posts in order to fill
them with new men owing their
all to Stain.
Held Key Positions.
In 1899, Malenkov was elected
to- the party Central Committee
and that March was elected a
secretary Of the committee, a
member of the organization bu-
reau, and chief of the admins
tration of committee personnel.
These key positions made him
one OF the four or five most
powerful men under Stain.
