RUSSIANS PLEASED
SECRET POLICE CHIEF. CHANGE WELCOMED MOSCOW, Dec. 0 The "public is relieved by the dismissal of the ruthless Ogpu Chief and Commissar of Internal Affairs, Nikolai Yezhoff, the "avenging sword of the revolution," and the greatest purge expert, in favour of Stalin's fellow-Georgian, Laurenti Beria. This is believed to portend a change of police methods, although a cessation of repressive measures is not likely. Beria is scholarly and generally popular.
