the group had been washed out
politically and ideologically, it
has really been effectively dealt
with.

nous Importance for the sue
cessful solution of all questions
concerning party, state and
economic construction was the
action Of the Presidium, the

"The anti-party group was
ideologically smashed and
thrown out and its attempts to
defeat the feminist policy of
the goth Congress was foiled,"
he added.
Omission Of any demand for
further punishment and the
stress on Mr.. Khrushchev'S
theme that the group is ideolo-
gically smashed may be an
indication that no harsher
measures are intended now for
