While the world's Communist parties continued to take sides between Moscow and Peking (see following story), the Russians stepped up their attacks on Vyacheslav Molotov, who has become the symbol of the implacable Stalinist-Chinese policy that Nikita Khrushchev now fights as treason to Marxism. Not long ago, Western newsmen reported, the Old Bolshevik and his daughter had been reduced to selling off the family furniture from her Moscow apartment, suggesting that he had been stripped of his post and income.* Last week the Supreme Soviet ordered his name expunged from 35 factories, streets and towns, and Molotov...

...Before his Vienna assignment, Molotov was Soviet Ambassador to Outer Mongolia from 1957 to 1960. In 1959 the Kremlin tried to make him ambassador to The Netherlands, Greece or Argentina, but all three governments refused to accept him because Molotov obviously did not enjoy the confidence of his own regime.
