MOSCON PONDERS ONRYKOFF'S FALL Resigned Soviet Premier’s Future Uncertain, but He Still Wields Power. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, December 20.—Retire- ment of Alexis I. Rykoff as head of the Union Council of People's Commissars, or virtual premier of Soviet Russia, to- day caused considerable speculation as to what would eventually become of a leader who, since the death of Lenin, - has wielded great power in Russia. A member of the “Right Wing” of the Communist party and thus many times in direct conflict with the policies of Joseph Stalin, all-powerful secre-! tary-general of the party, Rykoff is be-| lieved to have requested relief from his post with the latter's consent, if not | at his urging. Observers differ as to just what re- sult his action will have. It is pointed out that he still remains within the party fold and retains his post as a member of the important political bureau. One observer put it this way today: “He may be slightly down, but he is a long way from out.” Further Penalties Unlikely. Other big men, including the exiled Trotsky and Zinovieff, have fared much worse than Rykofl because they failed to keep step with party policies. The present party majority wants no Right or Left dissensions, and most of the former Rightists have been eliminated from positions of power despite their public repentance. Virtually all the most important posts are now held by upholders of the Stalin policies, which have the single theme of industrializing Russia as soon as possible. Rykofl, like other Rightists, repented, but recent criticism from various parts of the Union of his for- mer activities led to his being “re- leved” as premier. It appeared today there was no resent intention of further “punishing” im, however. Retains Vital Position. It was recalled that under the Soviet: regime, Rykofl’s job, while correspond- ing to that of premier in other coun- tries, is actually not as important as it sounds, and membership in the Political Bureau lends far more power. | | THAD HOLT Of Birmingham, Ala., director of the Alabama Indastrial Development Board, has been appointed Southeastern direc- tor of President Hoover's Emergency Commission on Unemployment. —A.

BLADENSBURG, Md., December 20. —Their funds exhausted through -the large number of recent charity runs, the Prince Georges County Rescue Squad today issued a general appeal for help to meet its operating expenses. Up to the present time the squad has been able to operate and pay for all its equipment through donations received from the residents of the county. Because of the constant use of the ‘The Political Bureau is really the high- est organ in the party. From it, and from the Central Executive Committee, government officers take their orders. ‘Viacheslav Molotoff, 40 years old, one of the stanchest of the supporters of Stalin and for some time the latter's right hand man, succeeds Rykoff as head of the Union Council. He has been a member of the Communist party since 1906, and was expelled to Siberia times under the czarist regime for his radical activities. Each time he was able to éscape and return to St. Petersburg, or Moscow, where he was once one of the editors of Pravda, writing under the names of Michailoff, Ryabin and Zvanoff. Fol- lowing upon the October revolution he was made a member of the Revolu- tionary War Committee in Petrograd. He has held various important execu- tive posts in the party and in 1929 was elected to the presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the U.S.S.R. Recently he has been one of the three les who work directly under the all-powerful Stalin. Molotoff is of a retiri disposition ambulance, however, these funds arc now exhausted and the squad faced the i alternative of asking the public for support or making runs only on pay | cases. During the past 30 days the squad has responded to 45 calls, 90 per cent of which have been charity or ac- cident cases involving persons living outside of the county, according to H. L. Leonard, president of the squad. No Fire Fund Aid. It is pointed out that the squad re ceives no share of the $5,000 appro- riated by the county for the Volunteer g!remen's Association, although during the past year it has made runs into territory served by all 19 of the com- panies afiliated with the association. In addition to appealing to the gel eral public the squad voted at its meet- last ht to notify the various companies the association of its financial plight and’ to endeavor to raise some funds by giving a New Year eve masquerade ball in the parish hall In asking the general public for help Mr. Leonard stressed the fact that the need is now merely for money to keep | KENSINGTON ACTS T0 FORM CHAMBER Rough Draft Completed of Constitution and By-Laws for Body.

COLLECTORS WASTING TIME ON INDIAN HEAD COPPERS Uncle Sam Has no Idea of Will Never Be Mo A curious, false rumor is spreading like wildfire through the country thst some day the Government will “call in” 1-cent pieces bearing an Indian head at a high price. So rapidly has the unfounded report grown that’ letters of inquiry now are coming into the Treasury from several parts of the United States. Some people are known to have gone to great pains and long_ trouble to col- lzct big piles of these old coins, which are worth no more than 1 cent each. They never will be worth more thai that so far as the Government is con: cerned. “The Government pays no premium upon any issu: of coins,” the Treasury Department has explained, in answering the rumor about the 1-cent plece. | “There is no premium whatever offered | by the Govirnment on Indian head ) Calling Them in, and Value re Than One Cent. 1 - cent pieces. There are millions of them in circulation.” And still more curiously there are no pennies in the United States. They are all “1-cent” pleces. ———e FAMOUS NAME CORRECTED HELENA, Mont., December 20 (#)— The name of the Indian woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific Ocean in 1805 should be spelled “Sacagawea,” not “Sacajawea,” the United States Geographic Board has_ruled.
