Two packages of literary dyna-
mite lie on the shelves Of the
Library OF Congress. They consist
|of two copies of the book, Stain,
an Appraisal of the Man and His
Influence" by Leon Trotsky.
These copies are not available
to the public. That the Library
officials consider them dynamite
is obvious by the careful handling
accorded the two volumes. A Sena-
tor or House member who requests
q copy receives It in a sealed en-
velope, accompanied by a personal
letter emphasizing that the book
is not for public consumption.
This biography OF the Russian
leader, written by one Of the
original members Of the Bolshevik
party, who subsequently became the
Sworn enemy Of Joseph Stain and
the present Soviet regime, is a
ponderous volume loaded with foot
notes, an appendix, a chronological
guide, . list Of Stains aliases and
pseudonyms, photographs of the
Russian leader from early youth
to maturity, a glossary and an
index. It looks more like q volume
from library Of historical research
than a racy biography Of the smear
variety.
Publishers Withdraw Book.
The book was withdrawn prior
to public sale by Its publisers,
Harper & Co., who gave as reason
for its withdrawal late in l94l, q
concern for the works adverse

Trotsky had completed the first
seven chapters of the book before
he died. The last five chapters,
the introduction and the other
material were made up from
voluminous notes which had been
filed under 81 subheadings.
Trotsky Slain While Writing.
According to an editors note,
Trotsky had set August, 1910, as
the deadline for completion of his
work. The old Bolsheviks intro
duction to his volume ends in q
broken sentence, which was, accord
ing to the editor, left incomplete
because on August 90, 1910, as he
was writing, he was struck on the
back Of his head with a pickax.
just why this book, which deals
with the history Of the Russian
Revolution from 1904 to Stains
rise to supreme power, should have
been suppressed has caused some
speculation among members Of
Congress. It obviously deals with
no y. S. 8. r. policies subsequent
to Germany's attack on the Soviet
