By the A ated Press MOSCOW, August 10.—The central executive committee and the central control commission of the Communist party have resolved to withdraw the question of the expulsion from the party of Leon Trotsky and egory Zinovieff for violation of party dis- Cipline. Tt was decided to reprimand them with a warning, in view of their declarations, in which they renounced some of their opp ion views. Have Been Disciplined Before.

Their reply to the charges of insub- ordination lodged against them con- rined a denial that they had availed themselves of party difficulties to cre- ate controversies within the ranks. At the me time,” it continued, ‘we maintain our conviction that, even Auring war, party members cannot refrain from eriticizing and correcting the policy of the central committee if such poliey is incorrect and unjust.” Citing the growth of the so-called thermidorian or reactionary elements, they equire that the party authori- ties check the influence of such ele- ments firmly and systematically.” They deny allegations that they were making efforts to create a second | party or were instrumental in cre- {ating ctional strife. The declaration was signed by 13 members of the “op- position.” Trotsky and Zinovieff have at va- rious times been disciplined for their outspoken opposition to the Com- munist party leaders, but always were permitted to recant and return to their former activitie: Last June the Praesidium of the central control commission, of which the all-powerful M.

Credited to Later Statements. Associates of the President ascribe this change of tone in the mes: to Mr. Coolidge’s subsequent rem: that “This is not a one-nan country, land that 10 years is a long time for | one man to serve,” as well as ais later declaration that he woull be leaving the White House March 4, 1929, intimates and associates of dent, while studying the dif- rence in the tone of the messages ire satisfied now that the real mean- ing of the President’s brief state ment and the honesty of his purpose in the matter, are finally percolating through the minds of the party chicfs as well as the general public. That this is true is implied by Sec- retary Work, but also by William V. Hodges of Denver, Treasurer of the Republican National Committee, who, with his wife, was a houseguest at the Game Lodge since over the week- |end. In a conversation vesterda, Hodges, while declining to « Presidont's decision, or the wording of his announcement, pointed out that the Republican party was more strong- Iy entrenched than ever as a result of President Coolidge's leadership and is well able to stand the task of selecting a nominee for President and of electing him. He said the party is in splendid_shape—that it had come out of the National election of 1924 with a surplus and has been out of debt ever since. W. C. T. U. Prays Under Windows. Mr. Hodges doubted if Iresident Coolidge’s decision would contribute to any extent to a slump or recession in business. In his opinion the busi- ness of the country is on a stabla foundation and could not be seriously affected by any development or « dition in the immediate future. A crowd of 250 members of the W. C. T. U. of South Dakota took s position under President Coolidg='s fice windows yesterday and prayed for his continuance in office and the up- holding of the Constitution. Previously they had filed past the President in the corridor of the Rapid City High School Building so that each could shake his hand. It was ths heaviest siege of handshaking tha President has had at his Summer of- fices. Some of the women entered the line a second time to repeat the p dential handshake and tourists also fell in line. Forecasts Dam Approval. Various reasons have been advanced for the President’s decision a week ago to announce that he did not choose to run for re-election next year but it remained for the President him- If to suggest another possibility. The country out here is ravch like that in | which he was raised he told callers vesterday, and is conducive to peace and serenity. which condition “con- tributes to the power of making im- portant decisions.” ¥rom the tly political stand- point, his decision not to take another term in the White House at the ex- piration of his present term is the most important he has made in the West. During his visit with the President, Secretary Work discussed a number of matters relating to the Interior De- partment. He said they touched upon the Boulder Dam bill. Without wishing to speak for the President, he said, this bill is certain to pass the next session of Congress. “Backed by the President.” he said, “this important bill will sirely pass in the identical form presented to the last Congress. There may be some minor changes to meet the opposition offered by Arizona.” MURDER SUSPECT TAKEN.
