BOLSHEVIK RULE
PLOT AGAINST STALIN RECENT ARREST OF OFFICERS (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) • Received 19tli April, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, 18th April. A plot to assassinate Stalin and overthrow Bolshevik/rule is believed to lie behind the Ogpu’s admission of the recent arrest in Moscow of 31 officials of the Georgian Soviet Republic, says the “Daily Mail.” It will be recalled that Stalin in October ordered the special cleansing of the Georgian Communist Party, resulting in over 3000 expulsions. This ied to the formation of terrorist groups among those expelled, of whom many were rebellious Soviet officials who recently joined. It is one of these groups that the Ogpn lias now liquidated, consisting mostly of high officials, including Sainoff, siatc film producer, until recently Stalin’s .henchman, and Tifiis Baymaroff, a relative of the late Madame Stalin.
