That's because the people who are coming to Hagerstown to offer the free x-rays are all individuals who suffered from tuberculosis themselves and haVe since been completely cured.

31 --The ble, elder statesman role which many western leaders have ascribed to Prime Minister Stalin of Russia now appears to have been smashed by Stalin himself. This is the view of some of Washington's top experts on the significance of recent events in Moscow. Specifically it stems from the violence of the charges which Stalin made against America and Britain in an interview released by the Communist Party newspaper Pravda Thursday. What the apparent change in Stalin's public personality may mean to western relations with Russia is not yet clear. But the experts doubt that if foreshadow any improvement.

For one thing, the idea that an appeal to Stalin might bring a so lutiou of any major issue deadlock ed in dealings with Foreign Minis ter Molotov now seems to be dis carded. For another the experts ar wondering who in Moscow wi speak an occasional kind word fo ooperation with the west if Stalin dheres, as expected, to his charges hat western leaders only want war. The Stalin character of elder statesman has been symbolized for ears in the term "Uncle Jot." An used by many diplomats it has expressed a sense of friendly regard one Soviet leader who held himself above the daily clash ot international politics--and in criela might make a reasonable comprc- nii.se. President Truman ago offered a term of his Joe." He said he liked "Old Joe," and called him a "prisoner" of the Politburo, the committee of top Communists, Including Stalin, who run the Soviet Union. His words summed up an attitude most often privately expressed by many American officials that "we could get along with Stalin--it's those other who cause trouble." This Russian experts did not go that far, but they have considered Stalin a realist who dealt in facts rather than propaganda.
