Three Phantom Sioyinos
In Detroit Puzzle Police

DETROIT. Feb. "a (P.-Ir
the last month three men have
left their Detroit homes In the
predawn gloom to go to work
and have been struck down dead
with single bullets.
None of the three was robbed
None had any police record. Nc
arrests have been made.
Each man was shot with a diff
ferent gun. Each killing was in
a different neighborhood. One
victim was a Negro, one a native
Detroiter and one a former
German prisoner Of war from
the Russian Army.
In reviewing the cases today
1t. George Bloomfield, acting
head of the Homicide Bureau,
quickly discounted the possibility
that a homicidal maniac is al
large in this sprawling metrop-
oils of two million people.
Our experiences and our rec.
ords show that a maniac killer
usually uses the same weapon,

.MoIenkov Under Attack
As Logging in New Job

MOSCOW, Feb. "a P.-The
Soviet press today published a
direct attack on the Ministry of
Electric Power Stations which
former Premier Georgi Malenkov
heads.
The ministry was accused of
representation" in speech to
the goth Congress of the Soviet
Communist Party delivered in
the Kremlin yesterday by the
state planning boss, First Dep
uty Prime Minister Maxim z.
Saburov.
When Mr.. Malenkov resigned
the premiership on February 8.
1855. he publicly confessed he
had been inefficient and not suf-
ficiently experienced in admins
Itration.
Mr.. Saburov did not mention
Mr.. Malenkov by name. but he
left no doubt that the Soviet
government is dissatisfied with
the way his ministry is being
run.
THE Ministry Of Electric
Power Stations Mr.. Saburov
said, lis proscrastinating too
much with the putting into OPP
Grafton of new equipment and
electric stations. Due to this,
one million tons extra In con-
ventional terms of fuel are con-
sumed annually at high-pressure
electric stations alone"
1t was the first high-level
criticism of this ministry since
Mr.. Malenkov took it over.
Before the party Congress
opened, there was considerable
speculation in Western circles as
to whether Mr.. Malenkov would
retain his place. This was al
layed when he got up in the
Congress and Endorsed the cur
rent line sponsored by Party

shchev. which gives highest pri-
GRITTY to the continued develop
ment Of heavy industry. During
his time as Premier. Mr.. Malen-
kov put special emphasis on con-
sumner goods.
Until Mr.. Saburov spoke, the
only references to the electric
power industries at the Congress
had been praise for plans to in
crease drastically the building
of hydroelectric plants and the
creation of power grids.
However, Mr.. Khrushchev. in
his keynote speech, assaileo
