Rumors are circulating in Euloncan capitals that Goorgi M. Malenkov, wiio resigned as premier of Sovhet Russia one month ago today, may soon bo really purged. The suggestion is that not being . satisfied with demoting Malenkov 1 in 1 humiliating him. his follow leaders decide to throw him 1 out of the cabinet entirely and possibly to execute him. There fs no substance to the -eports. They are purely speculative and may be completely incorrect. It could, of course, be possible th d, as represented by Moscow, M; lenkov resigned volun'arily because he felt that he had failed to give satisfactory leadership. Certainly somebody failed to rive that leadership, and Malenkov was head man in the cabinet But Malenkov’ right now is a lonely and isolated figure. Ho holds the ounor cabinet post ot minister of electric fiower stations and is a deputy premier, I nqt even a first deputy premier. His position, in fact, is so singular that tin* Russian experts seem to feel it almost impossible to believe he can stay m it. Other Russian leaders have j be: n demoted, and have ev n disappeared from public life, onl\ to come back.
