Tadjikistan, one a the Most remote and primitive esetions of the SoYist Union, has just been elevated to the status of a seventh member of the r ederatien of Soviet Republics, The other six sections are Russia, Ukrai- Ina, Transcaucasia, White Russia, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Up to the present. time, Tadjikistan had been an autonomous republic, ie - chided within the administrative boundaries of Uzbekistan, writes the Moscow correspondent of the Chris- tian Science hionitor, Its territory in- cluded the mountainous regions southeast of Bokhara and Saumrk- and, together with the so-called "Roof of the World," the extraordin- ary high desert Pamir plateau, which borders on Chinese Turkestan and A.fghanistan and is separated from northern India by a thin strip of Afghan territory. The decision to separate Tadjiki- stan from Uzbekistan, which was adopted by a special Soviet congress, , meeting in Dushambe, the little cap- ital of the country (now re -named Stalinabad in honor of the potent general secretary of the Communist party, Joseph Stalin) has both na- tional and international significance.

In a game in which partners ,for the evening are, chosen, Lucy is won by Tim Stevens who has a great reputation as a heart- breaker. Leeson is a bit jealous. Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are •going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and she accedes in order DCA YO be "a quitt- er." Asked if she is sorry that he won her company she says she is not and that evidently Fate has arranged it. Tim thereupon tells her to stop looking regretfully after Leeson. Aboard Stevens' boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love. When she replies with contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she be- comes afraid of him. He says that he will never let her go from the Minerva until she accepts him. To "Sovi t T djiki t ill become a • d illardent otesta- _ which announced the change.
