Alien W. Dulles, direc-or of the Central Intelligence Agency, called early at the White House with a report for Mr. Eisenhower and then met with his top aides for further study. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and *pther members of the National Security Council brought their studies up to the last minute for a meeting ‘with the President. Some observers speculated that a tltantlc struggle is underway now for power in Moscow. Many be lieved Georgl Malenkov, a deputy premier, may emerge the winner. ! Congressmen generally were cau tious in their comments. Some hoped “more reasonable elements” would come to power; others felt a government along the present lines would be maintained in event of Stalin’s death.

" There was no indication as to Stalin’s possible successor in the event of his death, but information reaching London indicated that Via cheslav Molotov, as senior vice Premier! would sit at the head of the Council of Ministers during the emergency. There was speculation that should fetalin die. the world might not hear It for hours or even days. When Vladimir Lenin, his predecessor, died on Jan. 21, 1924, Moscow censors delayed transmis sion of the news to the outside world for 18 hours. A medical bulletin as of 2 a. m. 6 p. m.
