New York, Mar. 9.
Lavrenty Pavlovitch Beria, Russia's new Minister of the Interior, is the foremost policeman in the foremost police State.
Whether he would like to extend his beat over the entire world is not known, but this fact is clear: Beria is fanatically dedicated to the dominance of the Soviet Union. He rubs out all resistance to his goals.

Official Visit Next Month
Bonn, Mar. 9. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will travel to the United States on a State visit in the first week of April, the Brst German Chief of State ever to visit the United States why in office.
The 77-year-old Chancellor belleves that the West German Parliament will have ratifled its peace treaty and the European Army Pact, under which this Republic will re-arm 500,000 soldiers, by that time.
But there is little hope that by then French-Germen Lalicans will have shown much improvement.
Omelally, reaction in Bonn to the Romo meeting of the six Schuman Plan Foreign Minis- ters, to the decisions taken con- ceming French demands for supplementary protocols to the European Army Pact, and to talks belween Dr Adenauer and the French Foreign Minister, M. Georges Bidault, on the sticky Soar question, was one of satis faction.
Unofficially, the attitude was the more cynical one of "wait and bee."
This latter altitude was caused mainly by three facts;
