The principal business before the

about the request was that the wires
had already been strung. The road
said it had never heard OF wires of

WRONG IN RUSSIA
With ZinoYief, Threatened With
Party Expulsion

Moscow, Russia, June ~ Ro
Charged with reasonable speeches
and violation Of party discipline,
Leon Trotzky and Gregory Zinovieff,
once powerful figures in the coun-
ellis of the All-Russian communist
party, now are threatened with final
dismissal from the party. Their ex-
pulsion has been asked for by the
praesidium of the central control
committee, and inasmuch as they
have been denoted. disciplined and
warned several times in the last few
months, there appeared little doubt
today that the praesidium's recon-
mendations would be complied with
by the party as a whole.
The praesidium based its recon-
mendation, among other things. on
the allegation that Trotzky and Zin-
ovieft have engaged in continuous
attempts ito break party unity at a
time of serious international COM
plications. aggravated by partial
failure Of the Chinese revolution,
and OF facilitating the activities of
