ISSUE WARNING
The official statement contained (
a warning to any country that .
might attaefc Russia in the wake
of Stalin's death. ,
“The party Is in every way
strengthening the Soviet army, navy
and air force and intelligence or- .
gans with the view to constantly '
raising our preparedness for a de- ,
cisive rebuff to any aggressor,” it j
said.
But the statement said also that
Russia warts peace and “inter- ,
national collaboration and the de- ,
velopment of business-like relat- ,
ions with all countries.”
Western diplomats expected no
immediate change, at least, in Rus- ,
sian foreign policy.
Presumably Vyacheslav M. Molo- (
tov, senior vice premier, was acting ,
as head of the government. At the ,
head of the communist party,
through which Btalin bad so long .
ruled, was Georgi M. Malenkov.

S. Charge d’affairs Jacob Beam (
started visiting the Foreign office (
to offer their condolences to be- .
half of their governments as the
people of Moscow converged on the
Trade Unite Building.

heads of state, Communist party j
branches arid Individuals began j

tions centers.

President Klement Oottwald of ,
Csechslovakia, and French Com
muniet leader Maurice Thom.
All Moscow was. in mourning for

ment from government and party
leaders:

lin .. . has stopped beating.”
His body Will lie to state in the

budget which totals $93,000,000.
“We had planned to cut this by
$7,000,000’, the comptroller says,
emergency gamma globulin pro
gram for the treatment of polio.”
Where does your Red Cross dollar
go?
About $19,000,000 is set aside to
run the 3.727 chapters and another
$20,000,000 goes to run the national
organisation.
Some $5,000,000 is put away for
disasters, like the tornadoes, floods
mine explosions and so forth. There
is a balance of uncommitted funds
for national emergencies totaling
$10,000,000.
“That ten million,” says Betts,
“is regarded as a cushion. If we
have uncommonly bad luck and
have to spend more than the 10
plus the five, we have to appeal
to the public for more money.”
* Other items in the budget include
the blood program, health nursing
and safety services, the Junior Red
Cross, financial assistance to chap
