Malyshev Ousted
From Soviet
Post in New Purge
MOSCOW, UP) — Vyacheslav A.
Malyshev, one of the Soviet
Union’s top engineers and plan
ners, has been relieved of his post
as minister of transport and heavy
industry in another major govern
ment change. ^
The announcement that Maly
shev has been replaced by Ivan
Isidorovich Nosenko was made in
the newspaper Evening Moscow.
The newspaper listed Nosenko as
the new boss of the key industry
in an account of a meeting at
which it said Nosenko spoke out
sharply against the purged deputy
premier, Lavrenty P. Beria.
(Malyshev, a former deputy pre
mier, was considered by western
authorities to be one of the most
important men in the Soviet Union
because he has held key posts in
the development of the Soviet in
dustrial war potential. What hap
pened to him was not revealed in
the dispatch, parts of which still
had not been received in New
York and apparently were held up
by the Moscow censors.
The government newspaper Iz
vestia, commenting on the gov
ernment shakeup that ousted L.P.
Beria, said the Communist party
“Is strengthening its ranks when
it purges itself of all kinds of
filth.” Izvestia called for height
ened vigilance and demanded that
the party should “mercilessly ex
pose and render harmless the
criminal activity of the hirelings
of the imperialists.”
