...devoted in heart and in soul to the World Revolution of the Proletariat." The issuing of such an order at such a time seemed to indicate a slip between the cogs of Dictator Josef Stalin's complex State machine. Last week that popular cog War Minister Klimentiy ("Klim") Voroshilov had not yet returned from his junket to Angora where he congratulated Dictator Mustafa Kemal Pasha on the tenth birthday of the Turkish Republic (TIME, Nov. 6).

Attached to his nationwide espionage service, the Gay-Pay-Oo, or OGPU, are 110,000 picked troops, the praetorians of the Dictatorship.
