Powerful Russian figure ousted from party leadership
In Moscow the 82 year old Der Alexis Twabovitch Ryvboff, long an influential ally of Lenin, was stripped of his post as president of the council of peoples commissars and then from the party politbureau. Officials suggested the move diminishes his formal power while the Stalin leadership reshapes responsibilities for the socialization program of the union. Ryvboff, once a central figure in Soviet politics, remains a noted asset in the party apparatus.

Appeal for fund backed by party heads says senator clash
Washington December 22 Senate campaign funds committee heard Wade H Cooper president of Commercial National Bank testify that a 4000 loan to Robert H Lucas executive director of the Republican National Committee was backed by a letter from the committee. Lucas borrowed on his personal note to finance anti Norris literature in Nebraska. Cooper said Lucas had no personal account at the bank and the loan was authorized by James B Reynolds, former RNC treasurer and now bank vice president. Lucas loaned on December 3, more than a month after the election. Senator Cutting of New Mexico questioned if the Lucas loan was backed by the RNC, Cooper called it a matter of interpretation. Cutting said Lucas's statement attacking Norris signaled the national party has ceased to exist. The New Mexico senator urged ousting Lucas. Norris retaliated with a formal statement linking to a 1928 platform pledge on agricultural equality. Senate leadership stayed aloof as Norris prepared a reply.
