However, both Washington and
London believed it might mark an
important shift in Russian foreign
policy and that it might also dis
close the name of Stalin's succes
sor. There also was speculation that
Stalin, now 72 and foreseeing the
time when he would drop the
reins, was dividing his various re
sponsibilities among a number of
men in the hopes of averting any
internecine struggle within the
party after his death.
Alexander Kerensky, exiled
leader of Russia's first revolu
tionary government, looked upon
the move only as another Krem
lin maneuver to fool world opin
ion. TWO POSSIBLE LEADERS
There are, however, two names
which from now on will be watch
ed closely. They are Georgi Mal-
enkov, 50, who will deliver the
main address to the Congress
meeting, and Laurenty Bona, 53,
powerful chief of the Soviet se
curity system. Both are vice pre
miers, and Malenkov, in addition
has been Stalin's private secre
tary and, since 1946, in control of
Communist Party machinery.
Reliable reports say that these
two men long have pressed for
party reforms which would in
clude a greater number of non
Russians in the Central Commit
tee, and that the calling of the
Congress now after 13 years is
largely at their insistence.
Polio Outbreak
Peak Expecled
WASHINGTON (U.R The Pub
lie Health Service said Thursday
this year's polio outbreak seems
to be approaching its peak after a
17 per cent increase in new cases
in the week ending last Saturday.
In its weekly summary o conv
municable diseases, the service
said it now looks as though this
year's case total "probably" will
be less than the record 42,0fJ0
cases reported in 1949.
BELOW '49 HIGH
The summary said 3,110 cases
were reported in the week ended
Aug. 16. That compared with 1,765
cases in the same week last year
and 3,416 in 1D49 the largest
weekly total reported during that
record year.
"The peak incidence for 1952
should be reached in a few weeks
since the disease is declining in
several states," the summary said.
"The peak, however, was not
reached in 1950 until late Septem
ber.
"It is too early in the season to
know what the total- for the year
will be, but it probably will be
less than the all-time high of 42,-
000 cases reported in 1949."
During the week, the summary
said, increases were noted in most
geographic divisions witn me
largest relative increases in the
middle Atlantic and west south
central areas of the country. An
increase of 60 per cent occurred in
New Jersey with 61 cases as com
pared to 38 cases in the previous
week. Louisiana reported an in
crease from 17 to 60 cases.
16,447 CASES
The "most significant" decreases
were noted in Iowa and Nebraska,
the Public Health Service said.
The Public Health Service said
the overall total for the first 33
weeks of this year is 16,477 cases.

Curtain Falls
Brief Career
OAKLAND, Calif. U.R The
curtain fell Thursday on Fran
cis H. (Ding Dong Daddy) Van
Wie's brief career as a bur
lesque comedian when police
led the portly, 66-year-old Ro
meo off the stage and locked
him up on bigamy charges.
The officers said the Ding
Dong Daddy of the D-Car line
had been wed far more times
than he had been divorced.
They said he had gone to the
altar 16 times.
. The romantic lover, who got
his nickname by marrying half
the women in the block along
his San Francisco streetcar line,
spent an unromantic night in
city jail Wednesday night.
Unsympathetic police officers
said he would have to stay there
unless he could rake up $10,000
bail.
The versatile Van Wie was
right in the middle of an act at
the El Ray Burlesque Theater
here Wednesday night when two
men from the Los Angeles dis
trict attorney's office walked in.
They had a warrant for his
arrest, based on a complaint by
Martha Moyle Van Wie, 67, of
Long Beach, Calif. She was the
Ping Pong Raft
Runs Aground
Of Officialdom
MARSEILLE, France () An
American student's dream of
drifting across the Mediterran
ean on a raft floated by 75,000
ping pong balls ran aground
Wednesday on the shoals of
French officialdom.
Martime authorities ruled the
square adventure craft named
Kcntookl was too flimsy to put
to sea.
After eyeing the raft on which
26-year-old Richard Miller of
Chicago had hoped to find ma
rine adventure they decided
that not only would Miller's
life and those of his companions
be endangered but the raft It
self was a menace.

Atom Research
Started by Italy
By LUCIANO FERRARI
A.tocLted Pres. Staff Writer
MILAN OT Italy has started
its research for an experimental
atomic stockpile in mostly base
ment qtiarters next to a "room
for rent" sign.
It is a modest beginning with
"home made" heavy water, a tiny
quantity of locally obtained min
eral uranium, eight professors,
some 30 student research assist
ants and about $100,000.
Unlike the great secret Ameri
can atomic cities, visitors need no
special passes and there are no
gun-bristling guards at the doors
of the CISE (Centra Informa
zioni Studi Esperienzc) labora
tories, the organization tor Italian
atomic study.
The center is financed by a doz
en of Italy's major industries.
Professors directing the work
say that the $100,000 is about one
one-hundredth of what they need
for really advanced experiments.
But they take hope from in
creasing government interest at
Rome where late in July the re
search was placed under control
of a government agency on nu
clear energy.
Minister Pietro Campillt of
commerce and industry announc
ed that Italy expects to receive
financial aid from the United
States to help with the studies.
Goal of the research center is
to establish a sufficient atomic
stockpile to permit experiment
and studies. Directors said they
already have set up the necessary
equipment to get the stockpile
started.

all week, relating his marital
experiences to burlesque fans.
Next week he was to star in
a "Ragtime Wedding" act in
which he would be married on
the stage three times a day and
lour times on Saturday.
But when officers tapped him
on the shoulder Wednesday
night, with two bigamy charges
against him, Van Wie's sudden
rise to stardom took a nosedive.
"I'll fight it to the bitter end,"
Van Wie managed to blurt out
as he was led off the stage. His
pronouncement was roundly ap
plauded by the theater's enthu
