J Victim of Success . - -
This is Stalin the successful
leader, suffering from an occu
. national disease of leaders. The
strain of office killed President
"J Roosevelt via the cerebral hem-
orrhege route. Many a success-
" ful American business man has
gone the same way.
Stalin, once described by
Lenin as "too harsh, too rude,"
" had mellowed In the security
of his Immense power into i
JJ soft-spoken but extremely com.
we petent administrator.
Until stricken this week, he
had seemed to suffer from noth
lng more serious than occasion

! ' partial paralyi
i ttarhich limited hie walking. But
! J the 73-year-old Stalin worked a
long aay.
He normally arose at 11 a.m.
and spent the next hour and
half having a massage, shave
. and bath and getting to the
breakfast table by 12:30,
Around 1 pjn. he entered his
office, communicating with his
! dressing room. From then
1 1 until 4 o'clock he received re-
j . ports on world, government
i and party affairs from such as-
; sistanta . as Georgi Malenkov,
i the man now said to be his
j most likely successor, and
i Vyacheslav Molotov, senior
J vice premier. '
From 4 until B Dm.' he was
lore, writing, reading news-
papers, telephoning instructions
to various ministries and pos
sibly seeing a movie in his pri
vate theater. He napped and
then had dinner at B p.m. From
11 p.m. until sometimes as late
S a.m. he held further meet
ings either with party or gov
ernment officials.
Stalin marlred hia third wife.
Rosa Kaganovich, in 1S39. She,
however, has her own, separate
apartment and Stalin's life has
been that of a bachelor.
Stalin, as all other members
of the Presidium, always Is un
der protection of picked mili
tary bodyguards.
His food is cooked under
the supervision of two chefs.
and not one bottle of wine
reaches his table without being
checked and rechecked.
Stalin has been publicized as
a family man. But of his three
children, his daughter, Svet
lana, is his favorite. When the
red-haired Svetlana was mar
ried two years ago, her father
threw a $250,000 party that last
ed two weeks.
