Stalin's Body
From Tomb
MOSCOW, Oct. 30 (AP The
Communist Party banished Joseph
Stalin's body today frora its hallowed place beside V. I. Lenin in
the tomb on Red Square.
It was a final degradation of the
man who had exercised iron and
despotic control over the party and
the whole Soviet Union for 25
years; who was hailed up until his
death eight years ago by current
Premier Khrushchev as "our great
leader and teacher, the in.spirer
and organizer of all our victories."
But times have changed and,
freed from the dread Stalin's imrevenge, Khrushchev's
placable
opinion has changed too.
