The demand was presented on be- half of the Soviet Republic Of Georgia. Stalin's birthplace. It was in the form of a detailed four-col- umn letter. written by two Georgian historians. s. Dzahanashia and N. Bersenishyllli.

 Runs to Iran
 The Black Sea area along With the provinces of Kars and Erzerum were relinquished by Russia after they had been occupied for several months by Turkish troops.
 The coastal area has a population of about 100000 centering around the provincial market town of Arti- yin. Other towns in the area of the Soviet demand include Ardagan, Olta, Tortum, Ispir, Bayburt, Glu- miushane and Giesun.
 The whole area together with Kars and Erzerum form belt roughly 100 miles deep along the CacasSian frontier of Russia con- meeting with Iranian AzerbalJan where a semi-autonomous govern ment has been established.
 Wants Passage to Sea
 Soviet relations with Turkey have been cool for some time. Russia recently made formal representa- tions to Turkey over anti-Russian demonstrations which occurred m Istanbul.
 The Soviet has made no secret of the Montreaux Convention gov of it's eagernesS to obtain revision erning passage through the Dar- danelles.
 (Russia has demanded free pas sage through the Dardanelles and elimination of the Montreaux pro- visions barring the straits to belllg- erent warships. The Soviet also has asked the right to set up bases at the straits to secure their de- fenSe).
 The pace of Big Three delibera- tions appeared to be speeding up with Stalin's direct participation.
 Call on Stalin
 Hartman, who probably has seen Stalin more often during the last five years than any other diplomat, called on him last night with Sec retary of State James F. Brynes: The American diplomats talked with Stalin for 90 minutes.
 Hartman said the Soviet premier 'looks very well-better than when I saw him last October. He has a fine tan and looks well rested
 This categorical statement killed rulnors circulating for several weeks that Stalin was i'll, even some in foreign countries that he had died.
 Bevin also saw Stalin last night.
