CONDITION OF STALIN
'(Continued from Page One)
viet Union to “display the greatest
unity and ... redouble their ener
gies in building communism.”
Stalin has led the government
since 1924, when V. I. Lenin died.
He led the Soviet people to victory
in Word War 11, and his illness
comes only a few weeks after the
10th anniversary of the Battle of
Stalingrad, turning point of that
war for the Soviet forces.
The paralytic stroke Stalin suf
fered evidently is similar to that
which killed Franklin D. Roosevelt,
his wartime ally. President Roose
velt, who met with Stalin at Tehran
and Yalta in wartime conferences,
died at 63 in 1945.
The announcement of Stalin’s ill
ness was made over the Moscow
radio as many Muscovites were go
ing to work. The announcers gave
the words slowly, rnd the bulletin
was read over and over again.
Crowds gathered in front of
newspapers placarded on bill-
There was a look of con
cern on many faces. Pravda, of
ficial organ of the Communist par
ty, headlined the news with the
black letters—“ Government Com
munique.” It was subheaded: “Of
the illness of the chairman of the
Council of Ministers of the USSR
and secretary of the Central Com
mittee of the Communist party.
Comrade Josef Vissarionovich Sta
lin.”
The official announcement dis
closed that the Soviet Union has a
new health minister—A. F. Trety
akov. It said the treatment was
being conducted under direction of
Tretyakov and I. Kuperin, chief of
the Medical Sanitary Board of the
Kremlin. The previous minister of
health was Y. I. Smirnov.
Tass, the official news agency,
telephoned foreign correspondents
a brief bulletin about 7:20 a.m.
The AP correspondents in Moscow
called their London and Paris of
fices immediately, with the calls
going through quickly. These calls
were placed from the central tele
graph office. The lines had to be
held while censors cleared news
copy for transmission abroad. All
copy was subject tc censorship.
Soon the news of Stalin’s illness
blanketed the Soviet capital with
a pall of grief. On the streets peo
ple huddled into little groups. As
they moved on. only one sentence
was heard over and over again
“Staiin is ill. Stalin is ill. Stalin is
ill.”
At the office of Tass, the girl
who handed out the agency’s bul
letins to foreign correspondents
was red-eyed fro mw-eeping.
People surrounded the newspa
per stands scattered throughout the
city as the morning editions carry
ing the government announcement
and the medical bulletin were sold.
At points in the city where the
earliest copies of Pravda were
posted on walls, dozens of Russians
gathered to read the details. They
were a still and somber lot as
they absorbed the news.
Stalin had been active within the
last few weeks.
On Jan. 12 he appeared at the
Bolshoi Theater for a concert by
a group of visiting Polish artists.
The next day he received the vice
president of the Soviet-Chinese
Friendship Society and the presi
dent of the Chinese Academy of
Science.
On Jan. 21 he attended the mem
orial ceremonies for Nikolai Lenin
at the Bolshoi. On Feb. 7 he re
ceived the new Argentine ambas
sador, Dr. Leopoldo Bravo, and
10 days later the new Indian am
bassador. K. P. S. Menon. and
Dr. Saifuddin Kitchiu, chairman of
the All-India Peace Council.
Both Bravo and Menon reported
that he looked “strong and vigor
ous” for a man of 73 years.

flight that gets here at 5 p.m. has
had to be cancelled because flying
is not permitted after sundown,’’
Pence said. “Two different flights
which were ready to leave Miami
at 6 p.m., recently, could not get
to Key West before official sun
down. CAA bars landing here af
ter that time. These flights were
delayed in leaving Miami because
the planes had been held up com
ing from Jacksonville.”
Pence believes that night light
at Meacham would partly cor
rect this difficulty of cancella

last flight, which is supposed to
arrive here at 5 p.m. and leave
for Miami again at 5:20.

ion and the Council of Ministers
of the USSR, as do our entire par
ty and our whole Soviet people,
realize the full significance of the
fact that the grave illness of Com
rade Stalin will involve his more
or less prolonged nonparticipation
in leading activity.
In guiding the party and the
country, the Central Committee
and the Council of Ministers with
full seriousness take into account
all circumstances connected with
the temporary withdrawal of Com
rade Stalin from leading the state's
and party activity.
The Central Committee and the
Council of Ministers express con
fidence that our party and the
whole Soviet people will in these
difficult days display the greatest
unity and cohesion, staunchness of
spirit and vigilance and will re
double their energies in building
communism in our country and
will rally still closer round the
Central Committee of the Commu

the Soviet Union.

The easement to be granted to

to extend its runways at Meac

prove to be a barrier. This was
stated by County Legal Advisor
Paul Sawyer.
The Navy’s anti-mosquito pro
ject devised by J. Hutchcraft will
encompass large part of Key West
on out and through Boca Chica.
Commissioners also agreed to
the execution of a permit by the
Navy which grants the County
complete control of the East Mar

the brick tower itself.
Commissioner Clarence Higgs,
chairman of the airport committee
moved and it was adopted that the
Commission should have a special
meeting with all companies who
want contracts at Meacham field.
It is necessary, he said, that new
contracts be negotiated for the
coming year.

LOCAL SHRIMP
(Continued from Page One)
while the United States claims
that they are just three miles.
The Mexican Coast Guard vessel
Virgilio 'Uribe made the seizures
and today she stood uneasy guard
over the boats off the Yucatan
Coast.
The mass seizure strained U S.
Mexican relations already tense
because of four previous arrests.
Locally, in the small town of
Campeche, it caused a sensation.
Hundreds of curious crammed
shorelines to watch the captured
fleet of foreign shrimpers, which
the commander of the Uribe claim
ed to have taken about two miles
from land.
In Mexico City the U. S. Em
bassy termed the matter “very
serious” and Charge d’Affaires
Paul T. Culbe-tson said that he
had consulted the Mexican For
eign Office.
The Mexican government was
officially silent, but a Marine
Ministry spokesman indicated that
authorities might go slow on this
latest seizure, which if confirmed,
would bring to about 21 the num
ber of U. S. vessels taken in Mex
ican waters in recent days. Ap
proximately 63 crewmen are being
held.
No Cuban boats were reported
seized, although shrimpers from
that nation fish in the Campeche
area along with U. S. boats.
