Certain aspects of the story Of

Of fast-dealing on the part of the

that the intimacy of the boy and

awareness on their part that the

never discuss it-as audiences un-

The subject of Torment" Is adol-
escence, but not the silly variations
of It to which the movie public has
been treated in score OF junior
miss size farces.
AS the makers of this Swedish
film look upon adolescence, it is an
experience of tragic terrors, a
haunted time of life which Its SUI
ferers do not understand and their
parents too quickly have forgotten.
It's reflections on the tormented lives
of hero Jan-Erik and his girl,
Bertha, are rather clearly not de-
signed for young ears. Older ones
can listen, however, with at least
the profit of two hours of deep en-
grossment In dramatically taught
and urgent lesson.
And, beyond Its theme, Torment
has other qualities to recommend 1t,
such as superb acting, perceptiVe
direction and a Photographic clarity
that is the equal of Hollywood's best.
Ingmar Bergman's screenplay is
a kind of microscopic examination
of the emotions of two young per-
sons, boy and girl. Jan-Erlk Vld-
sren is a high school senior who
suddenly finds the pangs OF Latin
complicated by the torment OF first
love. Object Of his adolescent ardor
is Bertha, clerk in the cigar store
near his school. Tragically, Bertha
Is not quite the worthy object OF
devotion that Jan-Erik ignorantly
believes. What she might have
learned rapturously and idyllically
with Jan-Erik, she has learned long
ago in a protracted degrading de-
hauch.
There remains about Bertha,
however. kind of tragic innocence;
a torment quite possibly deeper
than that Of Jan-Erik, who is spared
at least the agonizing shock OF ire
deemability.
lowering In the background OF
these two tortured young lives Is the
pictures supervillain. sadist1c
schoolmaster whose twisted, per-
verted nature drives him to wild
excesses Of vengeance upon his
youthful prey.
n n
Three settings frame the princi-
pal action Of Torment" which is
not action in the helter-skelter
fashion to which movie audiences
are accustomed. 1t Is rather de-
signed to reveal the inner workings
of the principal characters whose
haunts are a boys school, the sord1d
living quarters of Bertha and her
two so-different suitors and the un-
sympathetic middle-class home OF
Jan-Erik.
Torment" takes it's deliberate
time to develop the soaring effect
Of the schoolmaster sadism upon
his young victims. In the classroom,
he tortures Jan-Erik with a sue
cession of threats and humtliatlons.
In Bertha's tawdry fiat he plays
upon her vulnerable remorse IN
their relationship with series OF
brandy orgies which reduce her to
a suicidal hopelessness.
The schoolmaster is the symbol
Of dia bolical adult cleverness born
Of abnormal hatred, but never so
much a one that he loses the meas
urements of frenzied human. The
symbolic element is strong in the
others in the cast of Torment"

on evidence presented. Sister

A Smash Success

Springfield, Mass. (FP)-Strik-

Springfield newspapers say their
new baby tabloid-the city's first
newspaper in four months-is a
smash success.
They sold the entire press-run
of $500 copies at 3 cents each in
less than an hour. The first edition
of the 4-page tabloid, entitled To-
day, was given away free.
"We could have sold an unlimit-
ed amount if we'd been able to
print large number" said John
Donohue, an American Newspaper

ing editor.
The striking writer's would keep
printing the paper indefinitely un-

The guild joined the strike three
weeks after AFL pressmen, stero-
typers and printers walked out
against publisher Sherman H.

There is no such thing as free
exchange of goods between coun-
tries, or, let us say, between the
peoples of countries.
Nor will there be, for a long
time.
All of these factors, plus others
which cannot be crowded into so
short a space, add up to uncertain
ty and uncertainty is all too apt to
get translated into fear.
Fear is a more serious thing
than people think it is. We had it
all over the place back in the dark
days of '29.
Big authorities need to do a lot
of planning to avert fear. They
need to do lot of planning to en-
able folks who need and want COM
modities to get them.
A side light is that a lot of
folks who want an article when it
isn't to be had, suddenly lose their
desire when the article becomes
available.
We have now many of the things
that make living better and easier.
We must be able to buy and we
must WANT to buy.
If we just let this recession busi-
ness slide along it can become de-
preston. And that is something
this nation cannot afford. Depres-
sion COULD become an economic
atomic bomb!

ously and victoriously as we

We are, believe it or not, reap
ing the consequences of things that
happened more than year ago
and were foretold in this column
some eight months ago.
1t was discovered by competent
analysts that something fearsome
had happened to the cash reserve
that SO many had told us was
built up during the war and would
be poured out for consumer goods
as soon as goods began to flow
forth.
But, the cash reserve got most
ly spent before goods in quantity
were available.
Treasury was mainly responsible
for finding out this fact so vital
to our economy, which finally gets
translated into jobs, or the lack of
jobs.
Most of the good economists and
analysts now tell us that we are
on the front edge of recession,
which means a slowing up. They
agree that we need not expect or
fear a real depression, but that
there is little chance of escaping a
continuation of recession for some
part of this year.
=
The Federal Reserve Board has
put it's seal of approval on these
forecasts by loosening, to slight
degree, the flow of consumer
credit. Recently it has loos-
ened other credit so that stock
market trading can proceed on a
basis of 25'per cent credit, where
as it had been on a full cash basis.
Now, whether stock market mar
gin trading does any good may be
open to question, but that consumer
credit is imperative is not open
to question - if production is to
continue.
We can produce faster than ever.
We must buy faster than ever.
1t would appear that, with a
domestic market still needing COM
modities and with foreign markets
crying even more loudly for goods,
that there would be no question for
years to come about selling all we
can make.
But there is a question and for
several reasons.
Some of these reasons have to do
with our domestic economy, some
with foreign economies all of
them rolling up into a quizzical
ball of problems for us.
Il 4
At home we have that problem
of cash buying power among the
masses, coupled with an out-of-
balance wage-not yet out of the
scramble caused by war.
Abroad we have restraints of
many kinds, some set up by our
own government, some by other
governments, aided and abated by
the destruction of wealth caused
by war.
Holland, for example, permits it's
people to buy from abroad only
those things regarded by the gov
ernment as absolutely essential.
And it restricts the expenditure of
dollar credit.
Many countries have like re-
strictions. Thus, there are many,
