Moscow’s Kremlin. He dominated a third of the
world’s peoples as the most powerful dictator in
history.

supreme chief of the Commimist party succumbed
at 9:50 p.ih. (1:50 p.m.’EST), four days after suf

day night, and his condition grew progressively
worse. Yesterday, his ten physicians said his heart
was faltering.
. The announcement of his death was broadcast
from Moscow at 4:07 a.m. Moscow time today—
more than six hours after his doctors had given
up their struggle.
The official announcement said:
"The heart of the comrade and inspired
continuer of Lenin's will, the wise leader and
teacher of the Communist parly and the Soviet
people Joseph Vissarionovilch Stalin has
stopped beating."
There was ho immediate indication from Mos
cow who was taking over control of the country.
Among those next to him in power have been
Georgi Malenkov, L. P. Beria, V. M. Molotov and
Nicholas Bulganin.

“In these sorrowful days all the peoples of our
country are rallying even closer in a great fra
ternal family under the tested leadership of the
Communist party created and reared by Lenin
and Stalin.”

fall semester and registration for
the spring semester, according to
C. O. Williams, secretary of the
Senate.
The committee on student af
fairs brought the excuse plan be
fore the group. During the recent
large number of grippe cases on
campus, ,many persons felt that
students sent' to their rooms while
ill and told to remain in bed for
a few days should have excuses.
During the wave of grippe,, the
Infirmary became overcrowded
and could not" admit every ill stu
dent.
The committee on student af
fairs presented the following res
olution to the Senate:
“At times when - the Infirmary
is filled to capacity, and only at
such times," and. students who
would normally-be admitted but
are sent to their rooms with the
advice of a Health Service physi
cian to go to bed, such students
shall be given a statement set
ting forth these facts.
“It should be the responsibility
of the students concerned either
to report back to the Health Ser
vice for further attention, or to
return to classes as soon as their
health permits.”
The matter, was referred to the
committee on rules for incorpora
tion into the undergraduate regu
lations and to be presented to
the Senate as a change in the un
dergraduate regulations.

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.
