Known aa Generalissimo Joseph
Stalin, prime minister of the
Soviet Union became 72 years

rate), and world recognition as
favored stalwarts of communism.
Stalin's health was described
here aa satisfactory for a man
of his age.
(Observers outside the Soviet
Union have noted his recent pub
lic appearances have been fleet
ing, and that the Soviet Press has
been publishing old photos show
ing him in glowing health, in
stead of newer ones which might
show him to be failing. . He has
been reported ill several tiimes
since the war, and scraps of in
formation indicate his health is
poor. He is said to puff at the
slightest exertion. Medical circles
indicate he may have some kind
of heart disease.)
Since the war he has taken an
annual autumn holiday in the
warmth of southern Russia
usuallv returning by his birth
day, a'o public announcement of
the holiday has been made this
year, but he is presumed to have
taken his annual rest as usual.

this year are all mostly writ
ers and professors.

Call For Federal Help
Planned If Situation
Continues To Worsen
PIERRE. S. D. (."PI Gov.
Sigurd Anderson said today he
may call for federal aid if the
snowbound situation in bourn ua
kota becomes more critical.
The state has been buffeted for
more than two weeks by blizzards
which have choked roads and Iso
lated many ranches and small
communities behind drifts as
deep as 15 feet. There are 26
inches ot snow on ine level.
Hardest bit are the villages of
Keyahapa, Millboro and Clear
field in Tripp county near the
Nebraska border. These commu
nities, with a total populaton of
100. were isolated for two weeks
because of blocked roads.
None has railroad service. A
bulldozer pulled a truckload of
groceries into Keyahapa Wednes
day, the first vehicle to reach
there since Dec. 5. All three of
the villages are about 100 miles
southeast of Pierre, the state's
capital city.
M.rcy Flights Stalled
Private flying services here at
Winner, only 20 miles from the
three marooned communities, re
ported they are far behind with
mercy flights. High winds and
swirling snow have made take
offs impossible.
Anderson said current reports
show the situation Is aggravated
by each succeeding storm, which
has come with reaularitv since
Dec. 5. Hardly a day ot mat
period has passed without high
w.d and fresh snow.
Train service has not, however,
been crippled flro long periods as
it was two veara ago. Trains are
getting through, but aeldoro on
scneduie. '
Road Equipment Inadequate
Main highways have been open
only periodically. Swirling snow
whipped by brisk winds fill them
in soon after plows have passed.
Isolated ranches and the remote
villages have been most seri
ouslv affected because county
I road eauinment is inadeauate to
clear the wind hardened drifts
from side roads.
Air service into Pierre has been
crippled badly because plows
have been unable to keep pace
with blowing snow filling in be
tween runway banks set up by
previous plowings.
Despite howling snowstorms and
severe temperatures for the past
16 days, no deaths attributed to
the weather have been reported.
State officials say also the loss
of livestock has been surprisingly
low.
"XS" tramped in the anow are
signals for airmen to land at re
mote farms and ranches for emer
gency errands. The fliers carry
food, fuel and medicine. Live
stock men have also called for
cottonseed cake for cattle which
are unable to forage in the deep
ening drifts.

Stern Note To Reds Cites
Omissions In Present List;
Appeal Sent For Red Cross
MUNSAN, Korea ' (A) The Allies today demanded
the Reds ncount for more than 1,000 American and other
misainsr U.N. soldiers and "an unbelievable number of South
Koreans not listed as prisoners of war.
The demand was made in a stiffly worded note. It
was handed to a Red liaison officer in Panmunjom shortly
after Gen. Matthew B. Ridway appealed to Communist
chieftains to open the gates of North Korean prison camps
to the International Red Cross.
These developments came as the Allies offered to give
up all islands off the North Korean coast in a move to
hasten agreement on an armistice.
The Allied note demanded a complete explanation of
"wide discrepancies" between the number of Allied prison
ers listed by the Communists and the number the Allies as
sert the Reds may hold.
The note did not reject the Red li.st of 11.559 prisoners
