U.S.. ASKS DOPE
SQUAD in CITY

The Federal Narcotics Bureau
has asked Seattle to set up a spe-
cial narcotics squad to fight the
mushrooming dope trade, A. p
Crisler has reported.
Such a squad would trail addicts
and small peddlers, according to
Crisler. who heads the federal bu-
reau in the Pacific Northwest, and
leave his men free to concentrate
on such kingpins as the smugglers
and large-scale dealers.
The Seattle police department
now must rely on a single desk
man to handle narcotics violators
brought in by patrolmen. Chief
George Eastman has reviewed the
situation, Crisler said, and prom

division spot last year to the sur

Key man in the super-charg-

Tito Makes Amends

Even though conditioned on his not resuming
the duties of Roman Catholic primate of Yugo-
slavia, the release of Archbishop Stepinac serves
as a particularly dramatic and heartening
measure of how Marshal Tito and his Communist
regime have been steadily changing for the
better ever since breaking away from the Krem-
lin more than three years ago.
Back in the fall of 1946, when the arch
bishop went on trial and received sentence of
Is years in prison, Tito seemed to be a Red
totalitarian beyond redeeming. Although the
trial itself had numerous outward signs of fair
ness, and although the accused apparently had
not been maltreated, the charges involved had
all the earmarks of having been trumped up
so much so that few people in the free world
regarded the proceedings as anything but a
revolving perversion of justice, cruel propa-
ganda show deliberately calculated not only to
destroy an innocent man OF God but also to
strike blow against religion in Yugoslavia.

OF weeks after two unarmed American planes
had been shot down over Yugoslavia, the
Stepinac case made Tito and his Communist
dictatorship look incorrigibly evil. Yet, not long
thereafter, that same dictatorship-and there
may be a lesson in this for any among us who
believe that various regimes here and there must
be forever our enemes-began to show signs of
significant change. BY 1948, after It's split
with the Kremlin, it had taken on an entirely
new coloration. Step by step, although still pro-
Tossing fidelity to Marxism, 1t started to turn its
face westward, and ever since, slowly but surely.
1t has been redeeming ITSELF
True enough, the Tito government has freed
Archbishop stepinac in response largely to Amer
lean pressures that 1t could hardly afford to
ignore. 1t has done SO, moreover, without pro-
claiming his full innocence, and the action, to
that extent may be less than completely salts

desire to keep on improving relations with the

One of the great needs of our time is
that Christ be put back into Christmas.
The anniversary of the birth of our
Saviour has become so commercialized
and bereft of it's spiritual meaning that
it seems little more than pagan holi-
day.
1t is difficult to secure artistic Christ
mas cards with appropriate sentiments.
In some stores the Christmas cards
have absolutely no religious pictures or
messages. If people would refuse to buy
them and would tell the shopkeepers
why. the card manufacturers and deal
ers would soon supply cards appropriate
for the season.
