gileviews Chances A For World War - During 1953

(By William L. Bysn. A.P. Foreign News Analyst)

Early last spring, competent British and Amcrican'observeri "in iBeriln sized up the cold war situation and told me Stalin Awould not risk a third world war in the year 1952. 'Thclr judg- 7ment hob proved correct. Now. "wiiat 'about 1953': l

'It's a pretty sad Von mankind's affairs when each lsucceedlng year is critical. But "1953 also promises to be a year of world tension. The chances are we will get tliroug'. this one,

too, without the big explosion. but there will be danger on all sides. '

When we speak of the chances of war. we are obliged to base all -our thinking on the probable state of mind of 10 men in the Kremlin. We come i the coh- clusion that there wi be world

'war only if these 10 men con- sider themselves ready for it. The indications are that they are ,not ready. As long as they are unready. we conclude, they --will not trespass beyond the - point where the cold war and the little wars will blow up into the big hot one?

Carrying this reasoning a step further, we conclude that there will be an armistice in Korea, for

example, only if and when the

.10 men in the Kremlin consider ,such a development io be to their advantage.

it seems doubtful that such an armistice will come about unless

'the war in Korea begins to cost :the Russians more than they think it is worth. This could be in material costs or in propaganda costs or both. it iii the men in the Kremlin might consider that an armistice in

' Korea, initiated by Moscow. Cmlld hear more fruit than the present conflict brings to world Com- . munlsm.

For one thing, truce or no truce, our forces would be pinned down in Korea for a long time to come. The cost to us would

BONN. Jan. 3 -(AP)- Ninety thousand East Germans braved the Commun' frontier "death zone” to win freedom in West Ger- many in the last six months of 1052. More than 30.000 others fled to beleaguered west Btlin.

This illegal migration may swell to even more fantastic figures in the New Year. increasing the heavy economic burden ton the West and heightening its security problem.

With the Communist vise tight- ening on the la,000.000 East Ger- mans, officials of the Bonn Gov- dmmeni: forecast that tens of

thousands will bolt to the West during i953. Many will be scurrying away

from service under Russian army officers in the new East Germany army. since Jan. 1. 1952. more than z.2o0ymen from this Red Wehrmacht have deserted to West Berlin. Sincc alune 1.716 have bolted to West Germany.

Good Reasons For Flight

There are good reasons why this flood of desperate migrants is ex-

--pected to sweep on during 1953:

..-Complete police rule has been clamped on East 'Gcrmany.

Draft-age boys are being fired from their jobs and driven into the army.

Women are being recruited to

Escaped J ToWestrI;n Six Months

der, homes and deported eastward for resettlement. i

And a warlike "dssth sane" has been built along the 800-mile East- Weat border. Russian soldiers and East German Communist police patrol constantly with orders to shoot trespassers at sight. ,

The amazing thing is that maues of East Germans have suc- cessfully defied this "death zone". officials say.

The Communists started hacking out this three-mile-wide zone last June, partly in retaliation for the signing of the Allied-West German peace contract and the European army treaty on May 26-27.

western officials say the Reds also want? to cut off Western in- fluences from East Germans so they can be pumped full of Com- munist ideology.

Victory and Defeat

This great migration coiiatltutu both a victory and a defeat for the West, in the opinion of Allledand West. German authorities.

it proves, they say, that East Germany is wracked with troubles and is openly hostile to its Com- munist masters.

On the other hand. these restless refugees create a serious problem in West.Germany and West Ber- lin. Each new wave heightens the danger that -they will become a

conditions that old Mother Nature presented, the residents of Don- agh and the surrounding districts turned out, with a feeling of ex- pectancy, to be present at the Yultide program. staged on the evening of December 18th in the district classroom.

The juvenile actors 'a'nd actress- es very skilfully enacted their va- rious parts to the utmost satisfac- tion of all the visitors and espe- cially to their teacher. Mrs. Mary T. Koughan, who with an ever- watchful eye guided her pupils through their youthful but difficult program.

The schoolroom. gaiiy fcstooncd with the traditional evergreen boughs. streamers. wreaths and icicles. was the very essence of the gay and festive season. as was also the sketch of old St, Nicholas, who with his relndeers pooped qulctly from the blackboard.

The master of, ceremonies for the evening was Mr. Mark Brazei. who very efficiently performed his duties.

The following program was pre- senticd:-

The visitors were also entertain- ed during the evening by instru- mental music furnished by Mr. William Koughan, violin; Mr. Lawrence Trainer. mandolin, and Mrs. Dennis Murnaghan, guitar, aiiwesidents of Donagh.

Words of appreciation and thanks were extended. to, the aud- ience by the teacher, as the pro- gram drew to a close. These senti- ments in turn were then extended to the pupils and herself for their untiring efforts. by the respected pastor, Rev. Fr. T. P. Butler. and also by Mr. Brazel. -

The highlight of the festive eve- ning then took place as that long- watched-for and eagerly-awaited visitor, Old St. Nicholas, made his appearance in the person of Mr. Daniel Holland. with many a ten-

'der handclasp. the old Saint quiet-

ly set to work at the large task of distributing the many gifts from the large and gaily arrayed Christ- mas tree, which was ever so prom- inent on the stage. At the com- pletion of his dlibies, he took his departure, as so did all those as- sembled.

Each slowly wonded his or her way to their various homes, but not without the giving forth of those old familair wishes: "Merry Christmas, one and all, and every blessing in the New Year". i

Besides attending to their regular duties the police of every city and town are pestered with countless phone calls not under police juris- diction at all. The latest of such calls coming to my attention is from Windsor. Ont. It appears that smoke from an anchored freigh- ter blew into the living room of a lake from. resident. He phoned the police.

"Could you fellows take action," he asked? "Couldn't you have the freigihter turned around so the smoke would blow the other way."

The desk officer had to explain that the direction in which smoke blows depends on wind direction- not under police jurisdiction.
