Communist in theology but not
completely tied to Moscow's
skirts. Unfortunately, Dimitrov
was diabetic. The Cominform
held a meeting and voted that
he must go to Moscow for treat

Tr0tsky Suffered Fever"
Leon Trotsky, once Stalin's
arch-rival for the Soviet leader
ship, became i'll with mysterious
fever in 1923. Despite the best
Soviet medical care, the fever
continued. Finally Trotsky sought
permission from the Poltiburo to
go to Germany to consult spe-

cialists. Stain and some of his
associates opposed this request but
eventually were outvoted. Trot-
sky found that his fever disap-
peared almost as soon as he
crossed the Russian border.
Trotsky's son. Leon Sedov, lived
in Paris. where he carried on his
fathers work after the latter was
exiled from Russia by Stain. One
day Sedov complained of violent
stomach pains and then fell un-
conscious.
His landlady knew he was a
Russian but did not realize that
he was out of favor with Moscow.
She telephoned the Russian En-
bassy, which sent a doctor at
once. The doctor diagnosed
Sedov's trouble as acute appendi-
citis and rushed him to hospital,
where an operation was per-
formed by another embassy sur

geon. Sedov died under the
knife.
Trotsky himself and many
others have accused the Soviet
authorities of deliberately mur-
dering Sedov.
Mikhail Frunze, head of the
Red Army in 1925, was political
opponent Of Stain. He COM
planned of indigestion. Stain
forced a resolution through the
Politburo ordering Frunze to
submit to an examination by
party doctors.
The Communist medicos said
Frunze required a stomach opera
ton. He protested bitterly, as did
his personal physician: but the
operation was performed, and
Frunze., too, died under the knife.

Last week the pilot of Soviet
plane, carrying French Commun.
ist Leader Maurice Thorez to
Moscow for medical care, made
the headlines by charging he was
fired on by American fighters
while travelling over Germany.
In the furry of excitment here
over the Russian pilots claim
apparently no one wondered why
Thorez should have felt it neces-
Sary to go all the way to Moscow
for medical attention which was
readily available in his native
France.
The answer probably is that
Thorez has little to say about it
One of the obligations assumed
by High Communist leaders is to
acknowledge that his health is a
party matter.
Subject for POlitburo Debate.
Inside Russia. the top men OF
the Communist Party long age
have learned that their aches
and pains, even a slight case OF
sniffles, are proper subjects for
full dress debates of the Politburo
For instance, when Palmiro
Communists, underwent a delicate
brain operation recently, neither
Togliatti nor his doctor made the
final decision. The operation was
performed only after the Central
Committee of the Italian Com
munist Party had debated the
matter for several days and then
voted on it. A party announce
ment said the surgery was re-
quired because the Italian leader
had failed to recover promptly
from wounds suffered in an
earlier attempt on his life.
What Togliatti or his personal
physician thought about the
operation counted for very little
Reports from Rome said the
Italian Red leader objected
strenuously but was overruled.
In Togliatti's case, the opera
ton was performed in Italy. More
frequently, Communists ordered
to undergo surgical Intervention
or disqualification are sent to
Moscow, where the Soviet state
provides free whatever medical
service Is required.
Could Embarrass Party.
Some observers point out that
top Communists thus bundled
off to the hospital are frequently
those in position to embarrass
the party by their continued pres
ence in political life.
According to this theory. Togli-
atti was ordered to undergo an
operation because his Leadership
was no longer acceptable to the
Kremlin and there was no other
decent way to get rid Of him. By
the time he RECEIVERS from the
effects Of the surgery and enjoys
a lingering convalesecence, the
new leadership appointed by Mos
COW will be in control and Togli-
atti will be half forgotten. But II
by chance, the new leadership
doesn't work out, a chasteneo
Togliatti will still be there to take
over.
This appears to be a rather
awkward method Of getting rid OF
undesirables. but students Of
Communism say it has happened
time and again. Sometimes, in
deed, the patient fails to recover
Such a case was that OF Georg
Dimitrov. hero Of the Reichstae
fire trial In Germany, who became
premier of Bulgaria after the war
Dimitrov had the reputation
Of being an independent COM
rade. Many Communists in East
ern Europe backed his plan to
