Moscow, To-day. Persistent rumours of the arrest of Vice-President of Union Council of Peoples' Commissars, M. Kossior, who is also a member of the "Poli- tical Bureau" of the Communist Party, appear to be true, Kossior was missing at the Great Workers Parade on the Red Square in Mos- cow on May 1.

With Kossior, who hailed from Polish Ukraine, another "old Bols- herist" has disappeared who occu- pied some of the highest posts in State and Party.

Last January 3, Kossior, who for ten years previously had been Secretary of the Communist Party in the Ukraine, was appoint- ed President of the Soviet Com- munist of Control and Vice-Presi- dent of Union Council of Peoples' Commissars.

It is believed that similar fate has also overtaken the Commissar for Agriculture, M. Eiche, and head of the Organisation Bureau of Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party, M. Stezki.- Trans-Ocean.
