Parton Model of Pomeron with Alpha(0)Greater-Than 1

It is shown that in the parton model (PM) the values of the three-pomeron constant lambda and of the pomeron intercept ..delta..=..cap alpha.. (0) --1 are connected by the relation lambda=..delta... For this reason a critical behavior turned out to be impossible in reggeon field theory. Arguments based on the PM make it possible to distinguish between the regions where the approaches of Cardi (Nucl. Phys. B75, 413, 1974 and elsewhere) and Amati and co-workers (Nucl. Phys. B101, 397, 1975 and elsewhere) are applicable. In the latter approach the total cross sections decrease asymptotically.
