MOSCOW. June 25.-The dismissal
for violation of party discipline of
Leon Trotzky and Gregory Zinovietf
from the central committee of the
All-Russian Communist party was
recommended today by the praeidium
Of the central control committee.
Both Trotzky and Zinovieff were
censured last month by the Com

was considered a breach of party
discipline.
They have been heading an oppo-

government but the Stain faction
managed to rally sufficient strength
to overcome the difficulties without,
however, being able to heal the
breach.

essential for the preliminary dash

At half past 2 the rain increased to
a downpour and grave fear was felt
that the field might become too soggy
for taking off.

hotel. He was requested to inspect
the runway as soon as the rain let up
