...long-jawed Valery Ivanovich Mezhlauk. Since 1932 he has been Soviet State Planner No. 1, and his latest Five-Year Plan is especially behind schedule in Heavy Industry. Last week J. Stalin made the now necessarily friendly move of having Buyer-Planner Mezhlauk appointed to replace the late Grigoriy Konstantinovich Orclzhonikidze, as Commissar for Heavy Industry. Russia's planners and Russia's performers, inevitably, blame each other for Five-Year Plan setbacks and it is no bed of roses in which long-jawed Mezhlauk was planted...
...they all freely said they had tried to have Dictator Joseph Stalin killed, the most striking feature of the Second Moscow Old Bolsheviks Trial (TIME, Feb. 8 et ante) was the agreement of the prisoners that they had also done their best to rid Russia of darkling, high-powered Grigoriy Konstantinovich Ordzhonikidze...

...Extradite Trotsky!" Old Bolsheviks taken from the prisoners' dock last week to Ogpu subterranean cellars, whence their execution was announced by the Government after 60 hours, were all ace-high Communists only in Russia, scarcely famed abroad. The execution this week of Grigoriy Piatakov, Vice-Commissar for Heavy Industry, after his super-sabotage confession, leaves Dictator Stalin's "Dear Friend Grigoriy" Ordzhonikidze Commisar for Heavy Industry, vindicated in the Soviet press for Heavy Industry's having fallen behind the Five-Year Plan. Other confessions and executions of the week vindicated virtually all Russia's thousands...
