John Reed's Body

Young, radical Corliss Lamont, son of Morgan Partner Thomas W. Lamont, received last week a special permit to pass behind Lenin's tomb in Red Square, Moscow to the Red heroes' burial place at the base of the Kremlin Wall. His mission was to investigate the grave of John Reed, U. S. Communist, journalist and poet. He found it intact. The first American to visit the grave since U. S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union William C. Bullitt placed a wreath on it in 1932, Corliss Lamont hoped to spike rumors that Reed's body had been removed and that Reed, because of his praise of Leon Trotsky in his Ten Days That Shook the World, had been posthumously proscribed by orthodox Stalinists.
