Ev the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, November 25.-An over
whelming defeat for the platform OF
the opposition led by Leon Trotsky
has been recorded by the Communists
in the greater part of Russia. says
Pravda, organ Of the Central Com
munist Committee.
The newspaper states that vote

in the greater part of Russia on the
platform presented by the Central
Communist Committee and by the OPP
position resulted in only $500 votes
for the opposition's platform as
against 900 cast for the program
presented by Joseph Stain, the Com
muniSt leader.
"rhe workers and bolshevikS met
the heroes OF the second operetta
party with a hail OF ridicule and a
storm Of p"oletarian wrath" says
Pravda. They settled accounts with
TrotSkylSm in true proletariat fash
ion. annihilatinc ii politically"
\ warning that a split in the Com
munist party would open Soviet
Russia TO external attack was made
today at kharkoff by Alexis l. Ry-
koff. chairman Of the Council of
Peoples Commissars. at a Commu-
mist party conference there. He de.
clared that the Communist party fight
aggravated Soviet Russia's interna-
tional relations.
Political difficulties within the
country may turn out one of the chief
causes capable of Fastening an attack
on the Soviet union" he said. THE
hourgeoisie knows that split in the
Communist party means a split in the
country. opening a rift through which
intervention may penetrate"
Luckily for Soviet Russia. he con
cluded. the opposition does not exert
any considerable influence either on
the parties or on the workers.

pistol shot, and another chorus of

in the street; and in the hall of the

TWO BANKS ARE
HELDUP, ROBBED
IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, April Ii. (P)-Two
bank robberies, believed by the police
to be the work of one bandit gang,
were staged here within short
time of each other this afternoon.
The holdup men obtained approXi-
mately $4,000 from the Citizens Trust
and Savings bank, West Pico branch,
and $4,000 from the Bank of West
Hollywood on Santa Monica boulve-
ward.
In each holdup three young men
stopped an automobile in front of
the bank to be robbed, two entering
while one remained at the wheel. AT
the Citizens branch bank, one man
herded five employees and three GUS
toners into q rear room while his
companion gathered the funds from
theN tellers cages. During the rob-
berry the man guarding the prisoners
accidentally discharged his pistol and
was berated for his carelessness by
his companion. The shot failed to
draw attention of persons outside the
bank to the holdup.
little later three men similar to
the Citizens bank robbers in appear
ance repeated in detail the plan of
the first holdup.

convey the visitors about the city and
vicinity. -
