By HENRY CASSIDY NEW YORK. — Joseph Stalin's family life, “long concealed behind the Kremlin walls, has been made an open book by his country’s war with Germany. The same great struggle ,which' the has laid bare the power of Soviet Union has disclosed that its leader, Stalin, is the father of two fighting sons. The elder, Jacob Josefrovich Djugashvili, in his thirties, bears his father’s family name. He served as an artillery officer on the front early in the war. The Germans claimed his capture. Although this has never been confirmed by Soviet authorities, he has been cited for staying with his battery “to the last round of ammunition.” The younger, Vassily Josofovich Stalin, in his twenties, has the honor of bearing his father's adopt- ed name. He is a colonel of avia- tion with a front-line air force. He has been decorated for exem- plary fulfillment of his duties in action. Pretty Daughter Stalin also:has a pretty reddish- haired daughter, Svetlana, in her twenties, who is living in Moscow. She went to Kuibyshev at the time of the 1941 evacuation of the capi- tal to live with her brother Vas- sily, who was then working on the Moscow-Kuibyshev military air- line, while their father remained in the Kremlin. Since then, she NAZIINVADERS SATURDAY, MARCH,.27, 1943 " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA | vVassily, a dark, lively youth, is popularly supposed in Moscow to |be his father's pet. As a boy, he was the ring-leader of a group of sons of Soviet leaders. Like many American boys, they were pas- sionate followers of flying. One of their number, Mikhail Frunze, son of the late Commissar of War, died in air combat. Vassily has keen interest iIn lother hobbies, including jazz. With |a number of friends, he once in- vited the leader of a prominent Soviet jazz band to his Kuibyshev ; apartment to play, and then dis- jcusscd music avidly with him.

When Jacob was cited, and Vassily was decér-\ ated, their names appeared only in| alphabetical order, among many others.
