The British funnel line freighter Phemius, struck off Nicaragua by the storm, made repairs yesterday, and a salvage tug was nearby. The British tramp Ingola out of Montreal for Montevideo, reported she was drifting in the hurricane without steerage way, but did not ask assistance. The hurricane began to appear in the Virgin Island Nov. 2. It dipped southward, wrecking banana plantations in Colombia, before starting out on the normal northwaro.

MOSCOW, Nov. 10, Russia today mourned the death of the most faithful Bolshevist Sergeivna Alllluleva wife, closest friend, and comrade of the powerful Joseph Stalin. To the world she was Mrs. Stalin and she died yesterday In her thirty-first year. Neither to the world nor Russia generally was anything known of the cause of death or grief Russia's most Important figure was bearing.

As always, the private life of Joseph Stalin and his family was not revealed. The official announcement did not even identify the young wife and mother of two of Stalin's children as his mate, nor did the official Soviet statement of condolence. The body lay in state today In the loftv hall of the central executive committee building on Red Square, opposite the tomb of Lenin and only a block away from the Kremlin where she had lived Inconspicuously for 13 years. Flowers banked the red coffin and five uniformed comrades who were her classmates at the all- union industrial academ- stood as a guard of honor while a military band played intermittently. Even In her death the public appeared not to know that she was the wife of the most powerful figure in all Russia.

Only a few people, most of them those who had known her well, filed past the bier. The newspapers gave her death a quarter of a but for all most of Moscow knew, here was only another staunch Bolshevik who had died. The funeral will be held tomorrow in Novodevichi monastery, one of the oldest Institutions of its kind In Russia, where are buried the first wife of Peter the Great, the wife and daughter of Boris Duvonov, and Chekhov, the novelist.

Officials have prepared for a crowd of spectators they expect to exceed 50,000.
