DISMISSAL IN LENINGRAD
High Party Official (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29. Moscow Radio reported today that Mr V. M. Andrianov, the Communist Party chief for the Leningrad area, had been “released from duties.” The decision to replace Mr Andrianov and another high party official who is now working in Moscow, was taken at a recent Communist Party meeting in Leningrad. Mr Nikita S. Khrushchev, first (senior) secretary of the central committee of the Soviet Communist Party, attended. The meeting, which was a joint plenary session of the regional and city committees, relieved Mr Andrianov of his duties as first secretary of the regional committee—one of the key posts within the Soviet. Mr Andrianov, with Stalin, was one of 16 persons elected to the Presidium of the nineteenth party congress last year.
