Both labor leaders had become fixtures on the American scene and had worked closely with past Democratic administra- tions. Both the A. F, L. and the C. 1.0. had supported Governor Adlai Stevenson in his bid to capture the Presi- dency and both had seen their candidate soundly defeated by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The new leaders of both the A. F. L. and C. I. O. will begin their administrations of the vast union organizations at the same time General Eisenhower begins his adminis- tration as President of the United States. It will be in the country’s best interest, and in labor’s interest also, for the new labor leaders and the new administration to cooperate. What tte future holds for’ these two new union lead- ers and a new President of the United States, no one can say. But it is almost as though an era had ended, since the new administration takes office just as new leaders of both of the country’s major labor unions take office. In the fu- ture, we will be able to look back on the era now, begin- ning and summarize its charasteristics and results. At the outset, today, we can only hope that the new leaders will work together for a stronger and united country dedicat- ed to the proposition that all groups and all people are to be treated fairly and equitably. i ei atest tieatiie sic Little-town society is a great game.

A Lot Of Aw WORK S mennem Merchants Eye By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK #--Merch:nts with their eyes on customers’ Christmas | dollars appear to be setting new records for volume of newspaper advertising. If you feel that next Sunday’s paper is unusually heavy, you'll probably be right. Some metropoli- tan papers will run extra. sections to take care of the pages on pages of promotional ad copy that indi- vidual retailing giants are buying —as they.compete for what they hope. will be the biggest holiday sales volume ever. Santa’s picture, and the come-on for the gifts he might bring you, will be printed, however, on the most expensive paper of any yule- tide, to the dismay of many a publisher. Newsprint, delivered in New York, is at an all-time high of $126 a ton, compared with $50 before World War Il. This has spurred a hunt by troubled publishers for new sources of paper. For example: Sugar cane waste, hardwoods, on ~ de-inked waste paper. . The costly paper has caused some dailies to raise the price of their sheets and many have ad- vanced their advertising rates. But the higher rates haven’t—as yet— stopped the tide of advertising Even the bid of radio and tele- vision for the advertisers’ dollar hasn't kept the newspapers from setting new records—an all-time ad lineage mark was set in Octob- er. Nor has the popularity of these rival media of the air waves halted the advance of newspaper circula- tion. The American Newspaper Pub- lishers Association says newspaper circulation has grown twice as fast since 1920 as the population of the United States, and is now at 54 million copies daily, almost doubl'} 32 years ago. The ANPA estimates consump- tion of newsprint this year will ‘approach six million tons, and javailable supply should top that slightly. In some other countries, price of newsprint is much higher —around $156 a ton in England, for example. In the_ Dominican Republic, | where the price of imported news- print is $240 a ton, the governmen’ {announced it will build a 2% mil- {lion dollar plant to make news- | print from sugar cane waste, called | bagasse.

In addition to these actual ma- turities, approximately $65 billion of non-marketable debt is payable on demand. “The Investment Bankers As- sociation repeatedly has recom-| mended to the treasury that steps | be taken looking toward the fund- ing of a proper proportion of the floating debt,’ Boles said. “So long as we face at Teast some danger of further inflation | and the need for deficit financing, much of the debt as possible out- | ide the banking system.

RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst Crime wave or purge? ‘ If what the Soviet press says about its Communist officials in industry and trade is true, graft, embezzlement and corruption exist -on a monumental scale in the USSR today. High-ranking Commu- nists are up to their ears in the public trough. They’re throwing a monkey-wrench into the Soviet system, It seems likely the corruption af- fects every Soviet republic and every organizatidn, including the secret police. But the announced cleanup—dic- tated by Georgi M. Malenkov at the 19th All-Union Party Congress in October—has other aspects, tao. The scent of a broad purge of party ranks is inescapable. It seems particularly likely in the Ukraine, Azerbaijan,. Uzbekistan, Kazakhastan and other Southern areas of the USSR. The Dec. 1 edition of Pravda, which. just reached this country, strengthens the impression the cur- rent Kremlin campaign to clean up the party is aimed both at a’ fantastic wave of embezzlement and at laxity in party ranks. Across the page are three col- umns written by V. Samyedov, secretary of the Azerbaijan party Central Committee. This tells of the “stern punishment” of a num- ber of party officials in Azerbaijan (adjacent to Iran) for unacceptable jattitudes toward “self criticism and criticism from below.” The ar- ticle tells of the expulsion from party ranks and trial of a number of functionaries on vague charges concerning “big mistakes and criminal anti-state activities.” “Party organizations,” declares Pravda, “are obliged to unmask and punish such leaders.” It adds that the party must always keep jin mind Malenkov’s admonition of | equal discipline for all party mem- _ bers, regardless of position. There has been a wave of re- ports in the party press of crime, PEOPLE’S FORUM ‘The Citizen welcomes expres sions of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which are considered libelous 01 ware ranted.

CHRISTMAS QUESTIONED Editor, The Citizen Recently in the Forum a certain writer tried to connect Christmas with Christ, This reader had this to say in part, “Put Christ back in Christmas.” I wonder where did this writer get such misleading \information from, certainly not from the Bible! I say that this ar- \ticle is misleading insofar as the scriptures do not back the state- ments made by this writer, mis- leading too, because after a week, of th praises the contents of this article. cause it is obvious that she lacks spiritual Yood, but the writer of that article should have given! some though ot the matter, again I say, the writer has no Bible back- ing! While it is true that the Bible does not give us the date of Jesus’ birth, it does give us enough,information that by careful study we can determine the approximate date. Luke 3:21 gives an account as to where and where Jesus was bap- tized at. Luke 3:23 it states at what age Jesus was baptized, “And Jesus himself begin to be about thirty years of age,” further the Gospel of John also gives us an account of Jesus ministry, such ministry ex- tended for a period of three years and six months after his baptism. At the end of this period (Jesus Ministry) the scriptures state that he met his death, Matthew's ac- count further informs us as to sea- son that Jesus did meet his death See Matt. 26:19-25.

If the read- jer is interested in knowing the origin of Christmas as practiced to- day, I refer them to the Britannica, to the Americana, and to Hislop’s “The Two Babylons.” The above mentioned sources are in agree- ment with the Bible.

It is going | to be very inconvenient for me to have to mail my rent in or try to get it to him some other} way. Is there anything I can do} about this? ANSWER: Yes, if the landlord will accept the rent. Your land- lord is correct in saying that it is against the rent regulations to ask more than one month’s rent in advance. However, if a tenant in Possession under a written lease volunteers to pay more than one month’s rent and it is for the tenant’s convenience that he do so, the landlord may accept it and he is not breaking a regulation. QUESTION: Some one told me that there is a provision in the Federal Rent laws that guarantees fit on his investment. Is that true? ANSWER: Not exactly. Actually what this provision does is that it makes an increase in the maxi- mum rent on the rental dwelling unit, or units, mandatory if the landiord can show that his is not |realizing from the building a fair net operating income in relation to annual gross income.
