(2 SUVIH PAIR SEEN FACING ICY EXILE Former Communist Leaders Reported Sentenced to Arctic Isle. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, December 31.—The Daily Express in a dispatch from Warsaw | today says Gregory Zinovieff and Leon | Kamenefl, once powerful in Commu- | nist circles, with their families are en route to a “living death” in Russia’s | Arctic “Devil’s Island.” The exiles, the dispatch says, were | dispatched to Solovetski Island, in the | White Sea, for participating in a re-| cent plot against the government. “Both were shackled before being placed in cold freight cars for the ronmghls trip,” the account says, “and the only toncession made Zino- | viefl was a large bundic of Dooks, Stalen Reported at “Trial.” i “Only Joseph Stalin, head of the Communist party., and the commissar of the interior were present at a se- cret session when sentence’ was pro- nounced without a formal trial “Both Zinoviefl and Kameneff ap- | peared happy and astonished to have been sentenced to anything less than death, and the former smiled as he | walked along the station platform. Under the plot. it was alleged, Zinovieff was to have supplanted Stalin, marked for death.” L The dispatch says the exile is a vir- tual death sentence, because the tem- perature seldom r above zero, and, in addition, Zinoviefl is in an ad- vanced stage of tuberculosis. Twelve officers of the Odessa Red army, the dispatch asserted, have been arrested. 400 Suicides Reported. A Warsaw dispatch says passengers | from Moscow and Leningrad reported more than 400 suicides in Russia with- in the last two weeks during the in- vestigation of the assassination of Sergei Kiroff, Leningrad Communist | leader Berlin newspapers state diplomats in | Moscow will demand that the Soviet name the unidentified foreign consul | in Leningrad it accuses of supporting the plot.

These are usually for two years each, but may vary a bit, depending upon the needs of the service. The contention has been made that particular classes of the Naval Acad- emy have been coming back to Wash- ington, after each tour of sea duty, without giving others an opportunity to serve here.
