Second Section RUSSIA'S GOVT, AND ITS LEADERS Special Writer Describes Situa- tion There Washington, D. C., Dec. 15—Stalin Trotsky, the Tz I K. and Kalinin. Who, and what, are they? Names of leaders i.nd certain gov- ernment bodies are familiar in news dispatches from Russia, yet they are confusing because so little is known of the structure of the government or the exact status of its leaders. The Natfonal Geographic Society assigned Junius B. Wood to winnow the facts about various phases of present-day conditions in Russia. Concernipg tho present governmen- tal organiz&tion of Russia which, in- cidentally, is officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Mr. Wood writes: “A meeting of the Tz. L K. (Cen- tral Executi » Committee) brings out all those 1Individuals whose state- ments occupy more space in the newspapers and who are seen less in public than any other officials the world. Center of interest whel he emerg.s in the corridors is Jo- seph Djugashvill Stalin—'stalin,’ meaning steel, having been conferred on him by Lenin when they were exiles together. He would be called director or political boss in any other country. Russia’s strong man and virtual ruler is Georgian. Tall, slender, with jet-black hair and mustache, stern- faced, sparing of words, but dircet anl emphatic, Stalin controls the party organization which he has per- | fected.
