Molotov Joins Top Kremlin as No 2 Leader
Vyacheslav Molotov, veteran Bolshevik and ally of Stalin, named minister of state control to oversee most state activities in the Soviet Union. He remains deputy premier and head of cultural affairs, with a likely influence near Premier Bulganin. Western observers question how much impact Molotov will have on policy amid Yugoslav tensions and internal party moves. In Hungary, a general strike paralyzed Budapest as workers protested Soviet influence, with transport halted, stores closed, and a government concession granting workers councils new legal status yet failing to end the walkout.
