...Behind the mausoleum [of Lenin], at the base of the Kremlin wall, runs a tree-planted walk, and all along it are the graves of revolutionary heroes, and the common grave of many who died in the October Revolution. Sverdlov is buried here, and Dzerzhinski, Nogin, Podbyelski, Krassin, John Reed and others. Set in niches in the Kremlin wall are funeral urns containing the ashes of others of the honored dead including those of Bill Haywood, Charles Ruthenberg and Paxton Hibben, all Americans...
Thus it will be seen that the Soviet Government believes it buried the body (not the ashes) of John Reed behind the tomb of Lenin. But it should be noted that the same document quoted above states that it had buried the ashes of Paxton Hibben in a niche in the Kremlin wall...
Into the Kremlin's gleaming white Hall of Soviets, where the Throne of Tsar Nicholas II has been replaced by a statue of Nikolai Lenin, crowded happily last week 2,500 Soviet Congressmen & Congresswomen from every part of European & Asiatic Russia.

Reds thus may foment revolutions and capture administrations from within against which, as pure Communists, they could only have struggled from without but inevitably they themselves will become somewhat watered down and followers...
Enough Russian war equipment had at last been smuggled by sea to the Spanish radicals for Dictator Stalin and his Foreign Minister to take off the mask of their "quarrel." They appeared together atop Lenin's Tomb in the Red Square, and all Russia knows that the few men permitted to stand there with J. Stalin during a popular review are always his prime favorites of the moment. Next, the highest Soviet decoration, the Order of Lenin, was last week pinned on the barrel-chest of Comrade Litvinoff by Stalin's frontman, twinkly-eyed old Russian President Mikhail...
