| |Ma|enkov Is Named
New Vice Chairman
|0f Russian Cabinet
BY tn. Assoeioisd Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 22.-The appoint
ment of Georgi M. Malenkoy, As, as
one of the vice chairmen Of the
Council of Ministers and his removal
from the presidium Of the Supreme
Soviet led to speculation here today.
The move was made public after its
ratification Saturday by both houses
of the Supreme Soviet.
In one of his most recent public
speeches, during Moscow electioneer-
ing February 8, Malenkov declared !:
1.-THE weak are not respected and 1t
has often been shown that the weak
have been beaten. 1t is no secret
that friends respect us because we
are strong, and it follows always to
remember that friends will respect
us only as long as we are strong"
The other vice chairmen of the
Council of Ministers, of which
Prime Minister Stain is chairman,
are Foreign Minister Molotov, L. P.
Beria, .Andrei Andreyev, A. I. Mi
koyan, Alexei Kosygin, Nikolai A.
Voznesnsky, Marshal Klementi
Voroshilov and L. M. Kaganovich.
Malenkov was among the Is men,
bers elected to the presidium March
20. Coincidental with this election.
the Supreme Soviet also named Is
vice presidents Of the presidium and
q secretary, A. F. Gorkin. Others
serving as members included such
well-known figures as Marshal
Semeon Budenny and the late Pres1-
dent M. I. Kalinin.
Malenkov's other positions to date
have been these: He was one OF the
secretaries of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party, a member
of the organizational bureau Of the
party and member of the Politburo
Malenkov was mentioned recently
by a British conservative weekly,
the Spectator, as the most likely
successor to Mr.. Stain. 1t said he
was considered perhaps the closest
to Stain of the Soviet hierarchy"
Malenkov's transfer from the pre-
sidium to the Council Of Ministers
shifts him from the legislative to
the executive branch of the govern
ment.

Hotel Strike
Continued From First Page.)

ington estimating today the affected
hotels are accommoda ating only about
80 per cent of their average OF TO-
900 transient guests per day.
To this loss is added that resulting
from Cancelled luncheons, banquets

These, with a pro rata share to
Washington for transportation, pro-
vide the estimated total loss OF
around 81 100000.
And the hotel association estil
mates each day of the strike adds
upward of $125. 900 to the loss.
Robert Lester, president, said
Teamsters Joint Council No. SIS
would hold 9 regular meeting to-
morrow night. Although the hotel
strike may be discussed, he regarded
as unlikely that the council would
go beyond its present declared posi-
ton, which is to shut OF all de-
