Stalin's Still the Boss i in Russia i

WASHINGTON, June 19 — President Tru< man’s picture of Josef Stalin—a personally likable old fellow but a “prisoner of the politburo”—shocked diplomatic circles here. Facts about this most inaccessible of rulers are hard to come by. But every scrap adds up to an entirely different picture of Mr, Stalin. Mr. Stalin today is nearing 70. Physically he is failing. He is losing weight. - Something seems to be the matter with his insides.: He suffers occasional spasms of pain, apparently -in his stomach or chest. There are fewer tales of midnight bouts with vodka. His doctors have ordered him to take things easy. Nevertheless the other 13 members of the politburo carefully refrain from presuming on Until he gives the green light, none of them dares make a move, Those who have not been: so careful would fill a Stalin still has it within his power to add to the humber. On the other hand, according to these same reports, Mr. Stalin is too much of an old fox

: WASHINGTON, June 19 | Businesses which use the rail- i roads’ anxiously await the outcome. of a two-billion-doliar “before Commerce Commission. They're afraid ICC's decision might bring additional freight rate increases: 2 Actually, there is a series of 17 cases before ICC in which the Justice Department asks the commission to make rail‘roads refund $2 billion in wartime freight charges to the government. ‘ . » ICC is receiving many com-- & plaints against such : action A ‘from shippers throughout the

‘country.

“If the ICC should do that,” a spokesman for the Association . of American Railroads _ said, “we'd be in a terrible shape. We'd have to have more than one freight rate In crease after that.” The Justice Department in -seeking a $2 billion refund says the wartime freight rates charged the government were “unreasonable.” Those rates were charged under the Transportation Act, | which directed government officials to pay transportation bills before they were apdited.

They would find life dull in peacetime barracks. They to push on. They might even take their teeth. They might try to replace Mr, Stalin with one of their own kind. 3 Nothing of the sort, of course, nappened. Mr. Stalin saw to that. The Communist Party, gven during the war, kept close watch on the
