Ever since 1927 Stalin has held the reins, but it took the purges of the 1930's to make his grip eecure. Such was the fury of the struggle to consolidate his rule that Stalin reportedly deter mined to perpetuate his empire by eliminating those conditions which might foster a new sue cession fight at his own death. Halenkov Bis Protege The summoning of an all-un ion soviet communist party congress last October, for the first time since pre-World War II days, indicated that perhaps the - machinery of succession had been set in motion; for the dictator was approaching his 73rd birthday. Stalin himself had made the keynote address at the previous congress 13 years earlier, but this time the honor was given to Georgi H. Malenkov, a young and vigorous protege of Stalin. Stalin's rise to the throne of communism was accomplished in the face of what seemed overwhelming odds in favor of Trotsky, who had been com mander-in-chief of the Red armies during the revolution and who 1 had appeared much closer to Lenin than Stalin. But Stalin in 1922 became secretary of the communist party and promptly started us ing the post, controlling party machinery, as a lever for pry ing himself Into the ailing Lenin's place. Two years later Lenin died, and Stalin and Trotsky were In open conflict over the party leadership. Trotsky Beatea Balled Stalin won the support of Gregory Zinoviev and Leon Kamerev, two revolutionary stalwarts, and Trotsky was de feated. He was killed In 1927. The reward for Zinoviev came in 1938. . With 14 others, they were brought to trial , in Moscow. All confessed . that the 1934 assassination of Sergei Kirov, a friend of Stalin, was a plot to wipe out Stalin and other Soviet Union leaders. The 16 defendants soon were exe cuted. Other old . Bolshevik lesders were ensnared in more of the famous Moscow purge trials. Stalin had become su preme; he was ready to lead Russia without internal opposi tion through the pre-World War II days and the global conflict itself. Joseph Vlssarionovich. Djug- ashvili the son of a Georgian shoemaker and a serf mother, was at his zenith as Joseph Stal in. His 70th birthday on Decem ber 21, 1949, was the occasion for extravagant celebrations around the communist world. There was a flood of adula tion, 70 freight carloads of gifts from conquered East Germany alone, for the dictator whose name means "steel." Career Started Early It was the climax of a revo lutionary career started when he was just 15 years old and an unsatisfied theological stu dent. He bsd organised strikes during the late 1890s, written pamphlets, and between 1902 and 1913 endured jail eight times and exile to Siberia seven times. It was in Siberia that Stalin received his first note from Lenin.

SendsOfficial' Condolences to Moscow (Br Th AuuclsUtf tan) Washington Lenin and Stalin had in common the goal of world communism. It must be believed the men closest to Stalin he had 29 years since Lenin's death to bandpick them shared his aim. So the basic question raised by his death Is not whether his heirs will quarrel among them aelves but whether they will seek the goal he sought the same way or differently. Will they be reckless or, like Stalin, move cautiously? It Is possible that -in- an-Internal struggle for power the heirs will wreck their party and Russia and so eliminate the Sov iets as a world threat. Until such an explosion occurs it must remain - simply -wishful thinkinl. Stalin was neither an intel lectual nor, so far as is known, neurotic. He was confronted with both in his first and great est rival, Leon Trotsky, the bril liant but vain and flamboyant egocentric- Hone of the men in Stalin's Inner circle at the time of his death has been mentioned as blessed with high intellectual ity nor cursed with neuroses. If any of them is brilliant, lt has not been revealed. They have acted as a team. None of them could be considered flam boyant After his experience with Trotsky, Stalin probably wanted those around him to be Just the opposite. They have acted as he acted: practical, cold, calculating and cunning. The very best tribute to their shrewdness Is that they were able to survive In a slaugh Nevertheless,. alongside Stalin they appeared gray, almost shad owy men, either naturally or by Stalin's design. At any rate, he was the towering figure in Rus sia,, the symbol of communism.

Other comments on the death of the man who led the Soviet Union' and world communism ranged over a wide field of speculation about what will hap pen now and Include tome per sonal tribute. .The official u. S. message was sent at the President s direction by Secretary of State Dulles to Jacob D. Bean, . U, S. charge d'affaires In Moscow, for de livery to the Kremlin. It said: The government of the United States tenders Its official condolences to the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the death of Gen eralissimo Joseph Stalin, prime minister of the Soviet Union: Observers noted that the mes sage complied with requirements of international courtesy with out Including a word of sym pathetic tribute. In a different vein were mes sages sent by two officials of the United Nations, of which the USSR is a founding member. Lester B. Pearson, U. N. Gen eral Assembly president and for eign secretary of Canada, tele graphed Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky that the world organization had "lost one of Its founders and the Soviet peoples the man who was their Indomitable leader in the com mon struggle against Nazi aggression." Trygve Lie, U. N. secretary general, sent his personsl con dolences without mentioning his U. N. connection. The Soviet Union, has refused to recognize Lie as secretary general since he gave full support to the U. N action in Korea. He was re ported also to have quarrelled with Stalin during a Moscow visit in 19S0. Lie said In a telegram to Vi shinsky, "On those occasions on which I have had the honor of meeting Mr. Stalin, I have been deeply Impressed by the quali ties which made him one of the ouuianaing statesmen of our time. President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea, at war with communist forcer, said. am sorry he as a human has died.

I hope it won't be worse under his successor." Chairman Wiley (R Wis.) of the Senate Foreign Relations committee said no one could predict the effect of Stalin's passing and continued, "we can hope and pray that ' in this troublesome hour the people and the leaders of Russia will shelve the Communist policies for world domination and that we in this land will receive from an high guidance and direction to preserve our country and the freedoms we cherish and possess." Other congressional comment Chairman Saltonstall : (R., Mass.) of the Senate Armed Services committee: "Let us pray that the Russian people get more peace, happiness and free dom in the days to come. Let us hope that for our people there Is a greater appeal for more security for ourselves." Sen. George (D., Ca.), rank ing minority member of the Sen ate Foreign Relations committee, saw the possibility of a contest for power, perhaps first evi denced in countries other then Russia itself and added: "It is even possible that the new Rus sian leader may decide to start some sort of major war or ag gression to develop internal unity." Sen. Core (D., Tenn.): "Stalin may have been a moderating in fluence . . . His passing may loosen a surge toward the ancient Russian ambition for the warm waters of the Mediter ranean and India Ocean." Sen.
