Stalin Led Turbulent Life In Political, Private Circles
By UNITED PRESS
Josef Vissarionovich Djugashvilli, who called himself Stalin, rose to nearly absolute rule of eight hundred million people through ruthless adherence to the doctrine of "the end justifies the means."
One of the few leading revolutionaries to come from a proletarian family, he was born the only son of a cobbler in the small Georgian town of Gori in Tiflis province on Dec. 21, 1879.
His father, a heavy drinker, died shortly afterward, leaving the family destitute. His mother, the daughter of a serf, slaved as a household servant to educate her son for the priesthood.
Young Dijughavilli entered the Gori Ecclesiastical school at nine, and six years later the orthodox theological seminary at Tiflis.
The youth who lived in extreme poverty and endless privations fell under the influence of socialist literature. In 1899 he was expelled from the seminary for his revolutionary activities.
For the first 17 years of the 20th century Djugashvili lived as a subversive communist in czarist Russia. He preached Marxism at secret meetings, organized strikes, wrote and published underground newspapers, and organized and led revolutionary bandits.
lutinian bandits.
In 1913, he was sent to prison in a remote section of Siberia and remained there until the czar was overthrown in March, 1917, and the prison doors opened.
During his underground days Djugashvilli used Stalin as one of his names and later decided to adopt it permanently. It means "man of steel."
Stalin first came to the attention of V. I. Lenin, founder and guiding spirit of Russian communism, at a party conference in Finland in 1905. Stalin's long feud with Leon Trotsky began at a London meeting in 1907
Stalin differed violently with Trotsky's desire for conciliation with the Menshevik or evolutionary faction of the party.
In 1922 Stalin was named to the newly-created post of secretary-general of the politburo on Lenin's recommendation.
At the time of Lenin's death, in 1924. Stalin controlled most of the party's affairs.
A year before Lenin's death, Stalin, G. G. Zinoviev and L. B. Kameenev were named a reigning triumvirate.
GOP to Reshuffle Civil Service Jobs
Washington — (U.P.) — The Eisenhower administration moved today to drive several hundred Democratic jobholders out of office in a bid to put Republican faithful in policy-making posts and tighten its control of the government.
Officials speeded work on an executive order to strip civil service protection from a block of holdover employees who President Eisenhower said were "improperly" put under the merit system by Democrats.
GOP Civil Service committee heads in Congress cheered the step. They said it would bring in policymakers sympathetic to the new administration. They also were not unmindful of the extra patronage.
Chairman Edward H. Rees (R-Kan.) of the house committee said Congress never intended policy-making posts to be "blanketed" under civil service.
"Certainly the administration in power should be able to remove those who are responsible for carrying out policies of the administration" he told a reporter.

virate. Stalin later gained undisputed control and began his drastic economic reforms which kept the Soviet economy in constant upheaval throughout the 30's.
More and more inaccessible as time passed, he was known to his intimates as a man of simple tastes, a stern master and a hard worker keeping late hours.
keeping the nose in the mouth
Stalin was a small man, about 5 feet four inches in height with thick hair and a bushy mustache.
He walked with a rolling gait, carrying his head high. During international conferences, he sat quite still with his hands in his lap or chain-smoked Russian cigarettes.
Opposition fostered from abroad by Trotsky was ended with his murder in Mexico in 1940 and Stalin's rule became unchallenged.
After the Nazi invasion in 1941, Stalin assumed command of the army and proved his ability as a military leader. He made the dangerous decision to stand at Stalingrad and with the help of war material from the U.S. and Britain pushed the Wermacht out of Russia.
Stalin was married for the first time in his stormy pre-revolutionary days. His wife, Ekaterina Swandidez, was a sister of one of his school-mates. She died in 1905 after bearing him one child, Jakob.
The boy was brought up by relatives and apparently was never close to his father. It has been reported he refused to join the Communist party.

In 1918, Stalin married Nadjaegd, Ciadya d'y. Serviceguy, Allied officer, and an ardent communist. She was said to have tasted all food served him before he ate it.
4 Students Debate At St. Paul Meet
Four University students are debating at St. Thomas Invitational tournament, St. Paul, Minn., today. They are Orval Swander, business senior, Donald Hopkins, special student in law, William Arnold, and Hubert Bell, college sophomores. They left Wednesday morning for the 22-year-old all male tournament.
Arguing the national question, "Resolved; that the congress of the United States enact a national, compulsory, fair employment practices law," teams will debate six elimination rounds, followed by quarterfinals for teams with the best win-loss records.
Their son, Vassily, was born in 1920. Unlike his half-brother Jakob, Vassily stayed in the limelight and became a marshal of the Red air force. A daughter, Svetlana, was born in 1926.
Nadya Stalin died in 1932, and is believed to have committed suicide. Stalin since may have married the sister of an old comrade and central committee member, L. M. Kaganovich, but the marriage never has been confirmed.
