Now Its Volgograd . . .
LONDON UPi — Remember the
| , . turning point
in the German-Russian phase of
World War 3tl.
Volgograd is on the Volga. In
czariat times it was called Tsarit
syn. Still draw a blank?
Well, then, maybe the name
Stalingrad will help.
The Russians, rewriting history,
substituted the name Volgograd
for Stalingrad Friday to go along
with the downgrading of Joseph
Stalin.
Volgograd — the new name —
is obviously for the Volga River.
The city sprawls across both
banks of the Volga. It has a popu
lation of about 300,000.
ROCKY GETS A TICKET
NEW YORK m — Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller’s personal ear can get
a parking ticket the same as any
body else’s. And it did.
The Governor’s limousine was
standing by a fire hydrant out
side the Waldorf-Astoria last Sun
day night while the Governor was
in the hotel making a speech.
The driver stepped away
briefly. The car’s license plate
with two letters and two numbers
gave no hint of its ownership.
A passing fireman stuck a $10
parking ticket on the windshield.
Firemen here are authorized to
do so if the parking violation
could interfere with firefighting.
An aide to Rockefeller said the
Governor paid the fine out of his
own pocket without protest.

Three Former
Leaders Expelled from
The Communist Party
MOSCOW UP) — Informed
sources Saturday local Com
munist party cells have expelled
Georgi Malenkov, V. M. Molotov
ahd Lazar Kaganovich from the
party but the three former lead
ers have appealed the decision.
The information was circulated
as Molotov, former foreign min
ister was enroute by train to the
Soviet Union from his post in
Vienna to face his accusers.
Malenkov is former premier and
Kaganovich a former vice pre
mier. All were thrown out of their
high posts in 1957 on the ground
that they were anti-party con
spirators seeking the overthrow
of Premier Khrushchev.
It is expected that Molotov will
lead his own appeal to the Cen
tral Committee of the Communist
party in a dramatic fashion.
1 He has already written letters
to members of the Central Com
mittee setting forth his point of
view and denouncing Premier
Khrushchev as revisionist and
anti-Marxist.
