...Gossip is tireless about Stalin's health and the fantastic precautions he takes to preserve it. The latest, from the Swiss weekly Weltwoche, describes a clinic in the Caucasus, where a group of 40 carefully selected Georgians of Stalin's age and general physical make-up are forced to lead a life precisely patterned on his, eating the same meals, keeping the same hours, while a corps of doctors observe and test them with life-prolonging serums.

There, along with some 200 Russian and German experts, Dr. Hertz is continuing his research in atomic energy, radar and supersonics. Scientists who used to exchange information with Dr. Hertz believe the Times's report. But after long collaboration with the German physicist, they have little hope of ever again sharing any technical information. Further communication with Dr. Hertz must be addressed "c/o General Delivery, Moscow...

The Jews applied the name Magog to the unknown northern tribes beyond the Caucasus-probably the Russians, as Churchill implied...
