Man has created for himself instruments so awful he is bo-jinphiT to fe'ar them more than he does his neighbor. ! For the first time, his creations threaten to lecomehis master. Through the ages he has had as lis :weapons an axe of stone, a spear, swurd and "row, gunpowder and TNT. These in their own :ime were feared ,but were always local in their lestruction. In.the last war whole cities were levelled ,but many more were never touched. I Now man has taken apart matter itself and has released an agency of death more dreadful than, the. bubonic plague. He is on the verge of creating a bomb which, in a single blast, could erase human-, ity. It is said that already the activations following explosion of a hydrogen bomb will remain forever in the Upper reaches of our atmosphere. Several such explosions would create a lethal cloud infecting the Jitmosj)here of the entire world. ! Now, work has stalled on the cobalt bomb which, we understand, will make anything that has gorje before seVm primitive. After the cobalt bomb there will be something worse. : So you see, 1954, man is exceeding himself. By his own efforts to kill, he himself will die. The realization of that, perhaps, will impress itself on his sanity. He has killed his neighbor without, scruple, but has always shown a nice regard for his owfi safety. . . . ' Therefore, 15)54, those who even now are calling for . war will receive cautious treatment by others who know how final such an act would be. ; That means your job here, Master New Year, is to turn man from useless words of anger to thoughtful discussion of self-improvement. Thousands die daily from starvation. Millions trudge through life illiterate and mentally blind. Millions are, cursed by crippling disease. Surely the resourcefulness man has shown in devising means of death can' be directed towards helping these. We have great hopes for you, 1954.

We do know that Malenkov has won out, to date. But we do not know, for sure, whether Beria ever was caught, secretly tried, and executed, as the Malenkov regime now claims. For all we know, he may have escaped, or .still be hiding in Russia. For years Beria had been one of the top men in all Russia. He had headed the dread secret police lor many years. His word literally was life or death for scores of millions of human beings. At the very Instant of Stalin's passing, the struggle for power was spotlighted on three men, Malenkov, Beria and Molotov. Beria well remembered Trotsky's mistake at the time of Lenin's death. Some said that Stalin got the jump on Trotsky in the race for the top job by looming large at the funeral from which Trotsky stayed away. Beria was number Two front-man pall-bearer at Stalin's funeral. But now, less than a year later, the Communist gullibles are asked to believe that Beria Mlii trnitflf oil l,nrr nrr,..!! I'lor the British from 1H17 mi WHAT-is, happening in Russia now is a lot like George Orwell's nightmare novel "Nineteen Eighty Four." In that fantastic and horrible book Orwell pictured history as being constantly re-written: Old newspaper files were repeatedly destroyed and new editions of the papers printed and filed. Leaders speeches etc. were again and again re-written, to make them fit the new facts, or conveniences of the dictatorship. We see that happening in Russia right today. The plain facts of history are being outrageously faked. No longer can Beria be allowed to stand out for what he was for decades one of the strongest men in the Soviet regime. Now nothing is too bad to say about him and his fellow top Reds are saying worse things about Beria than his ene mles and victims ever did. IN SPITE of the swift and apparently efficient ruthlessness with which the new Red Czar has disposed of his rival for the position ol peak power, It seems to me the events of this year have revealed the worst weaknesses which have yet shown up in the Russian-led world Communist party.

Do no let us down. m, o Kay and Montreal's newest newspaper has jumped 183,000 circulation in less than a year, and growth remains steady. It's human nature to be interested in crime. That's why more folks want to read of wrong doing. Sin is news, and how the Montrealers are licking tt up. no m sn-m sn There's a lavish use of pictures. Many are murders, some not solved yet. There are 'solid pages of crime stories. It's a French language tabloid, coming out weekly called Alio Police, and started going places from the beginning.

He discourages hush-hush in hometown Journalism or squeamlshness: "I think," he said, ".statistics could prove the most lurid crimes were committed In small towns where the big news is seldom published. These readers of the sensational stories are largely the refugees who have freed themselvs from small-town tyranny. . . ...

Let there be a colorful tragedy in Montreal or Quebec province, and that tabloid immediately opens wide its column gate.5 to words and pictures, let the blood run where it may. "If a man drowns a cat in his backyard" says Poulin, "that's bigger news lor his neighbors than the drowning of 300 coolies in the China Sea. Masterpieces in literature deal with crime and blood. Movies and TV take stories of murder and wars from the Bible. Take murder from Shakespeare and you take his best. All great authors all had the common touch." NO SCANDAL SHEET Alio Police print crime, but it is not a scandal sheet. It is written fr6m all facts and details.

It's smart business to know as nearly as possible where you ore going in the next 12 months. If you're a retailer, allow yourself 10 per cent of your normal markup for advertising purposes. Then spend it in varying monthly amounts according to the percentage each represents in ratio to gross sales" Of course, the best and first place to spend it is in the Daily News, the low-cost medium that greets your Best Customers every single clay.
