Molotov of try ing to seize power in Russia in 1957, He also attacked Albania in terms .so strong observers said it amounted to expulsion of Albania from the Commun ist camp. Mikoyan made his accusations in a speech Friday to the current 22nd Soviet Communist Party Con gress. The speech was published Saturday in the official govern ment newspaper Izvestia. Mikoyan said Molotov pretended to accept the peaceful co-existence policy laid down by Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev at the 20th Congress in 1956 but actually was organiz ing a "palace revolution" behind the scenes with other members of the "anti-party group." And in effect the moustached deputy premier said that if Molo tov had succeeded in seizing power Khrushchev and some of the other leaders of present-day Soviet Rus sia might have been physically liquidated. Virulent Attacks Soviet affairs experts in London said Saturday the virulent attacks on Molotov and the other members of the group former Premier Georgi Malenkov and Lazar Ka ganovich indicated a trial and possibly even a purge was in the making. While Khrushchev was carrying out the decisions of the 20th Con gress, Mikoyan said, "Molotov stuck poles in the wheel spokes, hindered the work of the Central Committee, tried to attract adher ents for the members of the Presidium of the Central Commit tee, all of which he did indeed se cretly."
