TEXTs The paper is a general lecture which was given on November 24,
1959 on the occasion of the 80th birthday of S. N. Bernshteyn at the
Leningrad Mathematical Society. The new resultEr were represented
in the seminaries of V. J. Smirnov (Leningrad) and J. G. Petrovskiy
(Moscow) at the end of 1959.
