It makes a singular setting for
such an actor as young Mesche, a

to make a boyish game of every

through the tall, ruined building
from which he jumps to death.

The fop, Count Amalfi, is no

like one to hide his revolutionary

keep him shutting back and forth

In asking this gentle. graceful
child to pay the price of his elders
folly, Rossellini again underscores
his genius in selection. This Is a
we'll chosen hero. yet even when
the character is as well played as
young Edmund Mesche portrays
him, the symbol is too small.
So, while Germany, Year Zero"
Is work of merit and many a
minor distinction, it lacks the
range and sad eloquence of
''Paisan." The elder screenplay
dealt with a dozen tragic lives on

dental Koehlers for the one who
counts in the narrative is young
Edmund. His is the innocence
which is marked for corruption
and Rosselini is never abashed in
the blutness with which he photo
graphs this process.
Food is the family's need and
when his elders fail for one weak
mess or another, Edmund takes it
upon his frail shoulders and art
less mind to supply it. No search
could be more tragic as it leads
the lad into his contacts with
cruel adult black marketeers, a
band of criminal children which
survives on the excitement OF its
thefts and other amoroalities, q
degenerate former schoolmaster
and ohers similarly sordid.,
!. There is a residence in Ed
mund's innocence which def1es
being completely absorbed by
these channels of corruption. He
is fascinated by an evil girl child,
queen of this baby underworld; he
learns the arts of purse -snatching
and the tricks of gang looting; he
serves the corrupt ends Of the ex-
teacher. All these, however, he
does on the energy Of his loyalty
to his sick father, his proud sister
and his defiant ex-Nazi brother.
The supreme irony of Rossel-
linis drama is that it is this
family affection that ultimately
leads young Edmund to his eli
mactic self-betrayal. No matter
how he tries, he is always defeated
in his effort to be of help until
one day in a hospital, he steals
vial Of poison which may provide
the father with the means OF
death for which Edmund has
heard his parent cry so often.
Having this lethal drug at hand,
the next time his father wishes
he were dead, Edmund makes him
a cup of tea to which he adds the
poison. At last, among all his
desperate undertakings, here is
one rewarded with success, but
the child knows instantly that
what it represents is irreparable
wrong. In his heartbreak, he kills
himself.

WRANGELL, Alaska, Aug. 22.-A record haul of 55 800 pink salmon val ued at more than $20,000 was taken at Anan Creek near here Saturday by the seine boat APE Six, Capt. William Willard.
 Eighteen hours were required to brail the seine and complete the haul with the assistance of two ether seiners, the Sanco and the Eagle, out of Wrangell.
 The entire load was taken to the Ketchikan cannery. It was the biggest haul reported taken anywhere in Alaska this season, and perhaps the largest in many years.
 Capt. Willard lay off Anan Creek on a falling tide when the fish backed out from the stream into legal waters where Willard was able to get the seine around them.
 Fishery agents and fishermen stood by for hours watching the great event Of the fish season,

Growing Split in Ranks of World Communism
 Reported
(By the Associated Press)

Premier Marshal Tito of Yugo- slavia drew surprise support from a group of German Communists today. This sign of the growing split in the ranks of world Con- munism came as Yugoslavia's wal of words with Russia reached a new pitch of intensity.
 A Russian note to Belgrade at the weekend threatened to take effective measures" to protect Soviet citizens in Yugoslavia Re- plying. the Yugoslav Communist newspaper Borba accused the Kremlin of using those citizens as spies.
 British newspapers quickly noted the similarity between the stern tone of the Soviet note and the language used by Hitler before he sent the German army into action a decade ago. They said the Rus sian note sounded like the worst threat of war since 1929.
 Tito.sm DOW has taken root in Germany. German Communists who hate Russia formed a new splinter party today and promptly sent the Yugoslav leader mes sage of support.
 The new organization described itself as 8 Free Communist Party. T It claimed 4,000 active members in the Russian zone of Germany and another 600 in the Western sectors of Berlin.

 Across the world, the Chilean government announced it had broken an attempted Communist revolt based on general strike Troops evicted more than 1000 tired and hungry s4t-down strikers from the Lota coal mine last night and arrested 35 Communist leaders accused of fcmenting the trouble
 Officials quoted the miners as saying Communist spokesmen had convinced them the government had fallen, that general strike had crippled Chile and that a revolu- tion had broken out in Santiago the capital.
