ed into 16 divisions for the

StoIin's General Son
Denoted to Major

MOSCOW. Nov. 3 (AP).-
Joseph Stains son, VASTLY, has
lost the top job his father gave
him but is still in the Soviet
air force.
According to friends. he is no
longer a general but has been
denoted to major.
Stalin's daughter Svetlana
still lives in the apartment her
father assigned to her across
the river from the Kremlin.
In the days when his father
was riding high. VASTLY was
made a major general in the
Soviet air force at Is and at 27
in 1948-was given a top
command, Red air force COM
mander for the Moscow military
district. In 1949 he was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant general. He
held several high posts in the
Communist Party and received
virtually every decoration the
Soviet Union had to give.
A red-haired man, he es-
tablished a reputation for wild
behavior with the girls. whether
it was warranted or not. But he
always was on hand to lead the
big plane flypaSts over Red
Square during Communist cele-
brationS.
He was the son of Joseph
Stalin'S second wife, Nadya
Alliluyeva, whose death in 1880
stirred rumor that she had been
slain by her husband. Some re-
ports say Nikita Khrushchev
charged him with this in his
1856 denunciation speech.
In any event, VASTLY disap-
peared from public view just
as soon as his father was placed
in his tomb, the one from which
he was displaced only this week.
Rumors Immediately followed
that VASTLY was in Lubianka
prison accused of crimes un-
known or in a concentration
camp.
His sister, however, told
American newsmen he was
very. very i'll and no longer on
active duty" And that was just
about the last that was heard
of VASTLY, until today.

Nobel Winner
Gets Passport

PRETORIA, South Africa,
Nov. 3 (AP).-The South Afri-
can government today granted
Albert John Luthuli, Zulu lead
er, a passport so he can go to
Oslo to collect the 1860 Nobel
Peace Prize awarded him for
his fight against the govern
ment's racial segregation policy.
The government said Mr..
Luthuli would be granted 10
days for his trip. This means
he will not be able to accept
any Of the numerous speaking
offers he has had from the
United States and Britain.
Mr.. Luthuli's application to
visit Tanganyika vas rejected.
Mr.. Luthuli, 81, has been re-
Stricted to a native reservation
in the eastern province Of Natal
since the 1860 race riots at
Sharpeville. He was banished
as leader Of the African Ma
tional Congress, which was lat
er outlawed.
The government previously
spoke disparagingly of the
Nobel award to Mr.. Luthuli and
there had been considerable
speculation that he would be
refused a passport.
The peace prize committee
in announcing the belated 1860
award October %, cited Mr..
Luthuli for his advocacy of non
violent methods in resisting
racial segregation. The award
includes $43,744 in prize money.
