Stalin’s fatal illness became known on Wed nesday, more than two days after he was stricken, in his Kremlin apartment. An official announce ment issued said Stalin “had a sudden hemorrhage of the brain” the night of March 1. This “affected vitally important parts of the brain” and paralyzed his right leg and arm. He lost consciousness and the power to speak. The most prominent leader of the Communist party- next to Stalin, has been Malenkov. He keynoted the all-party congress last October, laying down the law to all segments of the party in matters of discipline. Stalin ruled Russia as undisputed dictator for nearly 30 years. Through communism, he extended his sway beyond the borders of the Soviet Union and its 200 million people to areas encompassing another half billion people. He reached the height of his power when he led the Soviet Union against the Nazis of Adolf Hitler as an ally of the United States and Great Britain. He was one of the “Big Three” of the world—with Britain’s Winston Churchill and America’s Frank lin D. Roosevelt. His life of never-ending intrigue,'ruthless am bition and fantastic power helped shape much of the world’s history. The grandson of a chattel slave, his father was a ne’er-do-well cobbler and his mother a peasant. She dedicated him to God in his childhood, but he schemed, plotted, clawed and killed, and made his way, over bloody paths, to the very top. He was christened Joseph VisSarionovitch Djuga shvili in Gori, Georgia, in the south of Russia, on Dec. 21, 1879.
