Behind Stalin's Mask What Will 'Uncle Joe Do With A-bomb? Book Mirrors Mystery Man's Makeup NEW YORK (NEA) What can the world expect from Joseph 8 ta lon now that Russia holds the atom bomb? Is he likely to use It? To find the answers to these questions, we need to know the kind of man be is. But no leader of cur rent times Is more completely masked In mystery than Stalin. Nevertheless. . new effort to pierce that mask has Just been made. Isaac Deutscher. a Polish born specialist in Russian affair who writes for the British press, has written a comprehensive blog- b Matter Where Yea Lire .. . Yov Ccm Enjoy TcmJc Gos StMvk raphy that Is being hailed as the most penetrating yet most objective study of Stalin attempted thus far. What emerges Is not a clearly etched portrait. Fundamentals of his makeup remain hidden. But there are some clues to his char acter that may help the world Judge what Stalin may do. As Deutscher pictures the Rus sian dictator: He 1 above all a political boss, a master strategist, shrewd, prac tical, ruthless, unbending In spirit. He Is no Intellectual firebrand, no great theorist of the communist revolution, as was Lemn. Stalin Is a man ot Icy elf- possesslou. In him Is none of the linimMve, intuitive behavior ot Hitler. lint like many a lifted politician, Stalin Is an oKutunit, He changes the coure of his policy to fit the circumstances of a time. He does not function from a set master plan in which all major details are de termined In advance. la other wards, what the rest ot the world does strongly atfecta what Stalin does. To millions who fear he may already have decided upon war. there may be hope In this analysis if It is sound. Mistake Like all opportunlsta, Stalin has made big mistakes and made them often. At the start of World War II he vastly overrated the strength and quality of the French army. On the other hand, he underrated til striking power ot Hitler's nasi le gions. He of course was not alone in these particular errors. It Is plain, too, that he genuinely hoped to keep Russia out of Hie war. He looked tor a long conflict that might exhaust both side and leave his country free ot Invasion. Deutscher concludes It I Impos sible to tell from the record whether Stalin preferred hi 1939 part with Hitler to on he might have made with the western Euro pean power. However that msy be, Stalin strove hard to preserve hi frsgil friendship with Oermny. He re fused to believe the signs of the coming nasi Invasion. Though ha waa preparing for It. he did not expect It when It occurred. Strength Once Into the war. Stalin mus tered all his Indomitable will and strength to save Russia and him self. Say Deutscher: "He wss In effect his own commander-in-chief, his own quartermaster, his own minister of supply, hi own foreign minister." He was no meddler in military strategy like Hitler. He operated as a calm, careful referee among his generals, leaving them room for ex periment and Independent Judg ment, But he made all the big de cisions. These organising and administra tive talents were the traits that lift ed Stalin to prominence In the com- " Taeslu far Mart NO NMD TO IHJY IfflUn SERVICE Cwtifwmio Pogrfic Utilities Company 1011 Main Phone 7415 I 1 THf ,ELL0W TST . afftf4 VU NEEDNT BE iCorr CLU6-.

Then he successful out maneuvered hi party opponents and gradually built himself to a pin nacle where others could not reach him. The fruits of uuuridled power came to a man who had begun life aa a cobbler son In the southern part ot KuMla called Oeorgla. He waa aludying theology when first touched with revolutionary fever. Krom that lime forward, he was a hard-driving underground agitator for a socialist rebellion In reaction ary Csarlsl Russia, llrfore the over turn came he spent nearly 10 year in prisons or In exile. Colorless Stalin, though long schooled ss a party apokesman, has never risen above the dull and colorless as a public speaker and writer. No spell binder, he has seemed to shrink from public contact. Ilia soldiers In lh field never saw him. Always since gaining despotic power he has preferred to remain a sort of misty. Impersonal, "gray eminence" standing in the Kremlin surrounded by the familiar symbols of his high station. Hi travels out side Russia have been limited to a few brief trips to nearby countries. Stalin private llleT Plain and austere. Deutscher say ne know of only one personal letter ever written by him. Though he twice waa married, his passionate devo tion to politics ruled out anything like a normal home existence. Not much to go on. all this, but it 1 from such frail evidence that the world's statesmen must try to gauge Stalin and keep him from using the great atomic secret he haa learned.
