Russian Ministers Fired MOSCOW (AP) — The Su preme Soviet Wednesday fired two ministers for inefficiency and switched a third to a new post. The shakeup affected coal and agriculture. It underscored re cent widespread criticism by of ficials and newspapers of lags in the economy. The Presidunrs announcement was broadcast by Moscow radio. It said the changes were made on the recommendation of Pre mier Nikolai Bulganin. The Presidum under the constitution is the top state authority when the Supreme Soviet, Russia's par liament, is not in session. The announcement said the Presidium had decided to release A. S. Zasyadko as minister of the coal industry “because of un satisfactory work.” A. N. Za demidko was named to succeed him. Tho Presidium also released “Comrade A. I. Kozlov" as min ister of state farms “because he failed to cope with the work.” To succeed him, “Comrade I. A. Benediktov" was released from the duties of U.S.S.R. minister of agriculture. No successor to Benediktov was announced. Western diplomats here have been expecting the shakeup in agriculture ever since the Com munist party’s denunciations of the country's farming methods have been publicized. These ex pectations increased after Georgi M. Malenkov took the blame for agricultural failures on his own shoulders when he resigned as premier Feb. 8. Benediktov was agriculture minister almost continuously un der Stalin from 1938. In March, 1953, he wub made ambassador to India. He returned to Mos cow six months later to take over his old post. Zasyadko, a full member of the central committee of the Com munist party since October, 19!fc, was given the worst treatment in the shakeup. The Moscow an nouncement did not even give him the courtesy designation of “comrade” applied to the others. This may mean he has been sim ultaneously expelled from the party, since "comrade" is a Com munist party form of address. 0 Due to the publication of only one Emerald next week, copy for the'Religious Notes col umn must be turned in before 3 p.m. Saturday.

Livingston, President of - The First National Bank of Chicago and President, American Bankers Association Like millions of othejr Americans, you probably know that our government’s Series E Savings Bonds rank among the surest, safest and best investments in the world. But I wonder if you realize that an extremely attractive feature has been added to them. Today, you no longer need cash your Bonds at maturity (9 years, 8 months after pur chase). You can hold them for as long as 19 years, 8 months. And this enables you to get a far greater total yield from them, since the interest paid on Savings Bonds is cumulative. That is to say, your Bonds pay interest not only on the principal, but on the accumu- j lated interest itself! Now, the longer you hold your Bonds the bigger this accumulation gets —and, correspondingly, the more money your Bonds pay in interest every year. IT/*. I! you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00 today. You would make $12.50. But if you keep that Bond for ten more years, you will make a total of $29.84 on your original in* vestment. In other words, if you hold your U. S. Savings Bonds for double their original period, your total yield is considerably more than just double. So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold your Bonds for the maximum period—19 years, 8 months. You don’t have to sign any papers or visit your bank to do this. The extended earning period is automatic. • And, of course, go on investing in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds—through the Pay roll Savings Plah where you work. If self employed, invest in Savings Bonds regu larly where you bank. Want your interest paid as current income?
