PARTY MOVES IN RUSSIA
Changes Among Leaders (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) MOSCOW, December 26. The Communist Party of Kazakhstan, in Soviet Asia, has changed its leader, replacing Mr Ivan Yakovlev by Mr Nikolai Belayev as First Secretary. The change was announced today by Tass, the Soviet news agency, which said Mr Yakovlev had been relieved of his duties. Mr Belayev, a secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee, became in February, 1956, Deputy to Mr Khrushchev in the chairmanship of a newlycreated Party Bureau responsible for the affairs of the Russian Federated Republic. Moscow Radio reported tonight that the Ukrainian Communist Party had also changed its leader at a meeting in Kiev today. Mr Aleksei Kirichenko, on his promotion to higher office in Moscow, was replaced as First Secretary and member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party by Mr N. V. Podgorny, formerly Second Secretary. The change follows the recent election of Mr Kirichenko —regarded as a supporter of Mr Khrushchev—as a secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
