Another Soviet General Dies 'After Illness' tMOSCOW, April 20 -V The death of Lt. Gen. Viktor Grigorie vich Nasedkin, a high official of the Soviet ministry of internal affairs, was announced today. He was 45. The announcement said Nased kin had been in "operative work" in the Interior miinstry from 1921 until his death, after a lengthy illness. Nasedkin Joined the communist party in 1931. He had worked his way up through the ranks in the army, and formerly was a chief of administration in the ministry. The death of another high Soviet general at the untimely age of 45 adds weight to speculation over the possibility of a new Mos cow purge. A tabulation of deaths of high ranking Russian military men in the past half year shows that at least 15 a number of them in their forties have passed on.

Labor Minister George Isaacs told the house of commons the work stoppage is "clearly com munist inspired. Isaacs said it "shows once again the length to which the commun ists are prepared to go to gain control of the trad union move ment." 22 JUNE 4 1 MAIL ORDERS NOW!! i r? tm th uaMat f fw I I ...
