Soviet Reshuffle Appears At End
Moscow reports indicate a mild post Khrushchev power shake concluded with Leonid Ilyichev's removal from party leadership. Ilyichev, Khrushchev's ideological adviser, was shifted to deputy foreign minister while remaining on the Central Committee. Adzhubei's son in law lost a Central Committee seat. Khrushchev aides Adzhubei and Satiukov also remain on the top body but face probable loss at the next congress. Casualties stay employed in diminished positions.
