Literary Blacklist"

So Pegler. who lists himself as Catholic. endorses EsQuire's insult. ing insipuation that the Postmaster General is banning Esquire because the magazine refused an ad to a publican sponsored by q high churchman.
 The Churchman referred to is ap- parently Bishop NOll of Fort Wayne. snd the publication. "Acolyte". a magazine for priests. Mir. Pegler's blacklist" is a disapprcyed list oi salaeious magazines compiled by the National Organization For De- cent Literature and is a list similar to that compiled by the Legion Of Deoency for motion pictures. The list is published in "AcOlyte" and at times in Our Sunday Visitor. The magazine Is given over entirely to detailed discussion of religious sab- jects-hardly the place to advertise Esquire. Tn fact the only advertik ing that We have ever seen in tt oyer a period Of some years is that which relates to church goods and pgiestly garb.
 But what every Catholic knows -and what Pegler should know is that neither Esquire nor any of it's stripe have nov or ever will have sufficient money to buy advertising space for dirty publications in any Catholic magazine.

gazed at them head-on.
They resembled four columns of birds with wings

its nylon towrope attached to the first glider be-
came taut. Then with motors roaring, it slowly
gained speed.
We watched it finally rise into the air. its satel-
