But in one respect the Gover nor's speech fell short of the mark. He appeared to underestimate the size the problem with which the University is now faced. The problem as the head- master of Wah Yan College, Father Barrett so clearly underlined on Wednesday

Moscow, Oct. 31. Russia's Communist Party

leaders were reported to- night to have made the fateful decision on the future of Marshal Georgi Zhukov following his abrupt dismissal from the powerful past of Miplator of Defence. (Rellable reports reaching London said it was now almost certain the decl. alon was to drop Marshal Zhukov from the Party's 15-member Presidium and presumably from mem borship in the Parly Gen. tral Committee.) The format announcement of the decision had been expected today. But as the day wore on there was no word in any of the Soviet newspapere or from the official - agency TAUX. Western quartera remained convinced, however, that it was only a matter of a day or two, before the Central Committee would break the news of its deliberations to both the Russian people and the outside world.
