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.
Laborites Lay
Strike to Reds
By Hal Caeper
LONDON, April 20-()-Britain,s
labor government today denounced
a spreading strike in London's
docks as part of a communist plot
to wrest control of British unions.
Leaders of the wildcat walkout,
which already has made nearly
7,000 stevedores idle and tied up
41 ships, described talk of com
munist influence in the dispute as
a red herring."
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
