The results of the Soviet elections published to-day, show a 99.18 percent vote for the Communist and nonparty bloc candidates, states the Exchange Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent. Only in the Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian republics did the electors cast less than 99 per cent of their votes for bloc candidates. Women elected numbered 273 out of a total of 1339 deputies, compared with 227 women in the 1937 elections. Famous war leaders elected to the Supreme Soviet included: Marshals Zhukov, Timoshenko, Voroshilov, Rokossovsky, Budenny and Koniev. The London Ambassador, Mr. Gusev, and the United Nations delegation leader, Mr. Vyshinsky, were also elected.
