Reds Fire Ex-head of Security
MOSCOW Tuesday UP Semen Deisovich Ignatiev, once head of a ministry tied to detaining doctors accused of plotting top officials' murder, was dismissed from the secretariat of the central committee of the Communist party. Pravda offered no reason, but later criticized him for political blindness and gullibility in the doctors case. The doctors were exonerated and released. Ignatiev had led the State Security ministry's investigation arm and had already been jailed for fabricating evidence. Pravda stressed equality of nationalities and punished racial hate. Western observers saw the anti Jewish drive easing, noting Pravda's condemnation of officials who inflamed Soviet society.
