Eased tension Seen
In Moscow Following
Release Of Doctors
By Eddy Gilmore

Associated Press Foreisn Correspondent
MOSCOW. April 4.-The re-
lease of Is doctors once charged
with plotting the death of Soviet
leaders and the disclosure of a
friendly Russian gesture toward
the United States and British
embassies contributed toward
making this a memorable Easter
eve in Moscow.
There is an atmosphere Of
conciliation. of lessening tension
in the warm spring air. Even
the ice jam on the Moscow River
has broken. And Western OBJ
servers are cautiously optimistic
and hopeful at the turn in East
West relations.
In announcing release of the
doctors, Premier Malenkov's
young government said they had
been accused falsely, that
strictly forbidden means were
used in the investigation of the
case, and that the persons re-
sponsible had been arrested.
Medal To Be Recalled.
DIR. Lydia F. Timashuk, a
woman physician awarded the
Order of Lenin with fanfare for
assistance given the government
in the matter of exposing doctor
asSasSins" soon after the arrest
Of the group was announced
January 13, was ordered stripped
Of that medal.
The doctors originally were
accused of participation in a
terrorist group linked with
United States and British spying
and a Jewish organization. the
American Joint Distribution
Committee. Nine were repre-
sented as having confessed kill
ing Andrei A. Zhdanov and
Alexander S. Shcerbakov and
plotting to kill five men high in
the armed services through i'm
proper treatments.
A number of the doctors are
Jews and the fact they have been
freed and that it has been ad-
mitted they were falsely accused
has broad significance to Jewry.
(Israel's government expressed
deep satisfaction at the an,
nouncement. Russia broke dip
lomatic relations with Israel

Satlin's death. A bomb had gone
of at the Soviet legation in Tel
Aviv.)
The news of the new action
in the doctors case was broad
cast widely.
Order to Move Cancelled.
Less publicly, the word leaked
out that the Soviet foreign min
istry notified the United States

ago that, contrary to previous
requests. they need not move

do so.

ShoStakovich is the most cele-

one morning to find that all

criticized "the anti-popular and
journalistic distortions" Of his
music.
The editors, who had recently
hailed him as the composer

tried to show how dangerous
and pernicious" was the Skos-
takovich trend for the whole fur
ther development of Soviet mu-
sic. Performances OF many OF
his works stopped.
At that moment the manu-
script Of his Fourth Symphony
was in the hands Of the Lenin-
grad Philharmonic, which had
announced its forthcoming pre-
mier presentation. But Shosta-
kovich reclaimed it and to this
day it remains unplayed-and
unheard, as far as know, ex-

kovich himself.

nothing in the Fifth Symphony

The fanfare of praise that fol-
