LONDON, Mar. 4.-Leaders of
the Communist satellites in Eu-
rope today we're reported called
to Moscow, adding to speculation
that Russian Prime Minister
Stain may already be dead.
Diplomats here advanced the
theory that the Communist
Party was leading up to the dis
closure of his death in easy
stages. Then East Berlin asso-
ciates of Walter Ulbricht, Com
munist boss of East Germany,
reported he had flown to Mos
COW last night-on Moscow's
telephoned orders. German
sources said they understood top
men in all the satellites had
been called to Moscow.
A lot of guesswork was in

ton from Moscow, but some
Western diplomats said handling
of the illness announcement sup

tator was dead. Conversely, 9TH

leadership of the Soviet Union
and the Communist Party.
Western correspondents in
Moscow were unable, because of
censorship, to indulge in any
sort of speculation. Even the
official announcement of Stains
illness was held up in Moscow
until it could be passed formally
through censorship.

In Fuvor Of KILLING
Housing Controls

The Commissioners hearing
on whether District rent con-
trolls should be extended beyond
next June 80 drew nearly 100
citizens to the District Building
today.
OF the first seven witnesses,
five were in favor of ending
controls as soon as possible.
The only voices favoring extern
sion were those of Rent Admin
istrator Robert F. Cogswell and
spokesman for the Washington
Housing Association.
Decontrol proponents during
the first hour of the hearing
were mostly representative of
real estate and landlord organ
izations, although a surprise
supporter turned out to be the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons.
DecontrOl Stand Applauded.
Most of the spectators APP
peared to favor abolishing con-
trolls. At any rate, the remarks
of the decontrol element drew
the heaviest applause.
The Commissioners are seek
ing the public's views on rent
control extension as a result of
a request for extension to June
80, 1854, made recently by Mr..
Cogswell. The city heads all
ready have decided to ask Con-
gress for a temporary extension
from April 80, the present ter
mination date, to June 80.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue said at the outset of the
hearing the only issue before
the Commissioners is to deter
mine whether a serious" hous-
ing shortage exists here in any
rental category at this time.
Shortage Of Homes Cited.
MIR. Cogswell stated firmly that
such q shortage does exist, es-
pec4ally In the lower and medium
rent brackets.

the wrong color and Georgia was
the wrong place for that sort OF
thing-it appears.
Citizens and the colleges, how
ever, found place to room most Of
the delegates. Secretly the hotel

teeth because Negro convention
GERS have earned the reputation
of being good spenders as the
border and northern states have
learned. The hotel industry is
rapidly learning that all money is

II Is reported that Gov. Flu.
gene Talmadge had agreed TO
review the parade. Whether the
report was authentic or Just n
hoax win not be known before the
hour OF the parade. Talmadge
won't add anything TO the parade
even II he does participate.
One new departure ordered by
the new grand exalted ruler, Ro-
bert Johnson, was that the drum
majorettes marching before the
various musical units were to
confine their prancing, to as few
wriggIes as possible. It was the
"grand's" position that the girls
could do plenty of majoretting
without twisting their hips all
over the place!
The grand also instructed the
parade marshall and his assistants
to bar any marchers who were
obviously under the influence Of
liquid spirits.
