Until recently, Nikita Khrush- chev's Russian Communists vir- tually monopolized the global Red movement. Moscow control- led the push of Russian and (satellite trained agents into the continents. Moscow interpreta- tions of world events were "the Red line" for local Communist parties and for sympathetic newspapers around the world. The only important divergent voice was Tito's Yugoslavia. Now there is a new "rival" organization. Mao Tse-tuug's Chinese Communists have be- gun to push agents into Latin America, the Middle East, Eu- rope, Africa, as well as South. east Asia. There already are more Chi- nese Reds in tiny Yemen on the Red Sea than there are Russian agents. The Chinese have moved earnestly into Iraq, Morocco, .Algeria, They have been active in Guinea, Ghana, the Union of South Africa and Cuba, They're strong in Burma and most of the rest of Southeast Asia. They've tried in Egypt, but made little headway, They're taking the first steps in attempting to infiltrate Chi- nese communities in the United States. This new Chinese Communist drive will mean new headaches to the West. Take Algiers, for example. Russia's Nikita Khrushchev is silent, pretending to flirt with de Gaulle, while the Chinese Reds have joined with the Al- gerian rebels and are helping to run in arms. The Reds thus are playing both sides of the street for their own ends. Eventually, the rival Chinese organizers and agents may mean new headaches for Nikita Khrushchey, too. The Chinese - trained men and the Moscow - trained men have different ideas en operation in countries they want to take over. The Chinese Reds tend to ad- vise quick actions, rapid; violent uprisings, The Russian Reds these days tend to counsel more s u b t le infiltrating. Squabbles between Russian agents and Chi- nese agents in Burma have been reported. And the Chinese generally tend toward a strong Stalinist line. It is believed here that one of the major reasons why IChrush- chev made his recent extensive South and Southeast Asia trip was to emphasize to India, Bur- ma, Indonesia and in lands thereabout, that Russia is still the "big boss" of international s'Lfnmunism. The Chinese Communists are building a fast, worldwide news service that often puts a "dif- ferent" Peiping interpretation en the news. The New China News Agency has just made a contract with Latina Prensa news agency to distribute its releases through- out Latin America. The New China News Agency has offices throughout Western Europe — in Switzerland, West Germany, France, and other European news centres. It is getting its beavily-slanted releases into Western European papers. It has offices in Morocco, in Cuba, in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Mao Tse-tung's Reds are set- ting up book stores — through dummy fronts — and pushing books, magazines and pamhpiets on the Chinese brand of com- munism wherever they can. They're gaining circulation in Traq, in Cuba, in some parts of Africa. A Chinese "circus" of 75 to 100 men and women, including ac- robats and jugglers, has been touring major Latin American countries and making contacta on the side, Chinese "trade missions" have visited Brazil, Argentina, Mex- ico, Morocco, India, the Middle East. The Chinese have Offered their goods at cut prices, cheap radio sets, for example, to an "in." There are strong indica- tions that these missions are not after trade in the Western pro- fit-making sense. Chinese "cultural" missions have been active in Africa, get- ting in touch with intellectuals and students, Mao Tse-tung is bringing students in from Bur- ma, Indonesia, Hongkong and Australia to be trained in Red Chinese universities. Radio Peiping is active in its worldwide "interpretive" broad- casts. The new worldwide Red Chi- nese drive is not strong as yet. But at the rate it is growing, it should be a real force within a few more years. Indications are that its line is even more anti - U.S. than the Russian movement, Indications are that they are thus far playing hand in glove with the Russians, even on the Indian border dispute. But there is also evidence that the Russians themselves are somewhat uneasy about the rapid spread of Red Chinese agents and the stepped up spread of a Red Chinese brand of world communism. at GHBROW — Chic girls will rise to the scrotal occasion this spring with the "English Swing."

It should never have happened to any woman driver but it did to an American lady who works at the Allied Air Force head- quarters in Fontainbleau. For reasons of gallantry, she shall be identified only as "Mrs. J.B," Recently, in her snappy little red Renault, she stopped at a crossroad to let a parade of cir- cus animals pass. While she waited, the parade halted and she found herself looking up at the impressive rear of an ela- phant. "Alors," she said in her best American French at just about the time a traffic cop blew his whiste. Suddenly Mrs. J.B. couldn't see a thing through her windshield. The elephant, trained to sit down on a red stool when his trainer blew a whistle, had squatted on the hood of Mrs. J.B.'s little car, She honked fran- tically and the great beast, snort- ing with surprise, rose to the sound of cruching fenders. A quick examidation revealed no irreparable damage to either beast or Renault and Mrs. J.B. drove off. The sad thing is that her friends refuse to believe her story — even though it is true Every time Mrs. J. B. explains about the crushed fenders, they inquire: "Now about that ele- phant . . . you sure it wasn't pink?"

Nowadays, instead of the big bird with a high breast bone, you will find the smaller, com- pact, broad -breasted turkey, with plenty of white meat for those who like it best, and fine, plump drumsticks for those who think any part of the turkey is won- derful just so it's the rich dark meat. 's a You don't need to wait until you have a big party to serve a turkey, either, although it's ideal for a company dinner or buffet, The smaller type turkeys of from eight to ten pounds have gained year-round acceptance and are among the many boons of this era of frozen foods. Selecting a turkey from the supermarket's frozen food cases or right from your own freezer at this season is a luxury Grand- mother never dreamed of, 5 5 5 • Thera are almost as many va- riations in turkey dressing as there are in individual tastes, so you can make what you like. Perhaps the traditional squash, mashed potatoes, creamed on- ions, and cranberry sauce which used to come along with the gib- let gravy as an accompaniment to turkey, belonged to the autumn season in which the birds were served. Instead they can be replaced by parsleyed new potatoes and peas, with pears and cherry hearts over endive garnishing the turkey. A bristling red cabbage, dominat- ing the wooden tray of hors d'oeuvres, hot spiced tomato juice, and candied almonds would complete the buffet, u o a SOUR CREAM PIE 1, cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch Dash salt Us teaspoon each, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg qs cup chopped raisins 1 egg, beaten 1 cup sour cream or rick sour milk 1 8 -inch unbaked pastry shell Combine dry ingredients; com- bine egg and sour cream and add to first mixture.

Data from Ward's Automotive. liogus Colonel Was Seaside Killer Many people today regard the criminal as someone who is men- tally "not quite right" They be- iieve that men and women go into crime beoause they are pay- ohologieally maladjusted, or be- cause of poverty, heredity Or en- vironment These kindhearted 'theorists have very often no practical knowledge of criminals at all. `.l'hey da not or will not realize that to -day there are clever, cunning and vicious men who take to crime because they are idle, immoral degenerates, who are too lazy to do an honest clay's ork. These men feel that they can arrange their lives on an organ- ized basis so that they can live comparatively well and escape detection for long periods at a time. They regard the police as their natural enemies, and so long as they're notcaught too often they are prepared to take the risk. To them it is an ordin- ary business risk and just too bad if sometimes it doesn't come off. But only on rare occasions do you come across a man who is a supreme liar, an unscrupulous crook, a vicious pervert and loathsome sadist all in one, Such a man was Neville George Clevely Heath, and when he was exeouted on October 26th, 1946, England was rid of one of the most despicable villains of the century, It could, of course, be argued that anyone who committed such terrible deeds as were attributed to Neville Heath must be insane. It has long been a principle of English law that the insane should not be executed. But whether a man is insane at the time he commits a murder is a matter for the jury. And, after listening to evidence of fantastic sadism and perver- sion, the jury rejected the de- fence submission that Heath should be found insane. Neville Heath'ts criminal car - or started early on. He must be one of the very few men who have succeeded in being oashier- ed from three services, The R,A.r., the Army and the South African Air Force all found that they had little need for his ser- vices. He first joined the Royal Air Force in 1938, but that commis- sion lasted only a year, and in 1937 he was put on probation for a number of frauds, which included posing as Lord Dud- ley. A few months later he was sent to Borstal for cheque !frauds and there is no doubt that at that time his whole life was one big lie.. At the outbreak of war he was released, The Army then committed one of their well- known ostrich acts, being quite blind to the fact that when they gave Neville Heath a commis- sion they were accepting a known and convicted criminal. By 1941 Heath may have been en officer, but he was certainly no gentleman, and by the end of that year he wasn't an officer either. His behaviour was too much even for the Army, and he was put on a troopship from the lviid- dle East to be returned to this country. England, however, was not to see him for a year or two, be- cause he jumped the troopship at Durban and wandered around South Africa, living by means of ingenious frauds. He posed as a captain in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders with an M.C. When the police got on his trail he vanished and appeared later in the name of Armstrong jn the South African Air Force. But by 1945 they also had had enough of him, for they packed ilio off back to England. Up to that time his career appears to have been only that Of a cheap Brook. Ile had mar- ried in South Africa and This wife had divorced John. He was a notorious liar andd, his lies had certainly got him int, a lot o2 trouble. On his arrival in England his future can hardly have been cheerful, but like.* great many other liars before him, he was the supreme opti- mist, He embarked on a long series of frauds and most of his time was spent with ynung and attractive women, Late in 1945 there was an in- cident in a hotel in the West End of London, in which a girl was found bound, while Heath bent over her with a riding whip. No doubt today that girl regards herself as fortunate to be alive. In the spring of 1946, Heath was slaying in a hotel in Lon- don's Notting Hill, under blue name of Colonel Bill Armstrong. Staying with him was a young woman believed to be his wife. They were not married, how- ever, and after a few days with Heath she returned to her par- ents in Sussex. a y the end o/ that year she, too, .vas no doubt congratulating herself on being alive! By June 20th a young woman known as Marjorie Gardner had moved in as Mrs, Bill Armstrong. Separated from her husband, she was said to have an artistic temperament, dabbling in drama, elocution and painting. But next day she was beyond dabbling in anything, because her remains were found in the hotel bedroom. She had been savagely mutilat- ed, her injuries having been in- flicted by somebody's teeth and the metal handle of a riding crop. Medical experts identified all the bloodstains in the bedroom as coming from the unfortunate girl, Of Colonel Bill Armstrong there was no trace. I'f he was re- sponsible, and there could bo very little doubt about that, he was apparently unmarked. Neville Heath, alias Bill Arm- strong, had bolted. But, curious- ly enough, from Worthing, en route to Bournemouth, he wrote to Superintendent Barratt, who, was in charge of the inquiries. The letter was completely pu- erile and was a pack of lies. It purported to give some explan- ation of how Neville Heath had met the dead girl, and suggested the possibility of some other man having killed her. By the time the letter was re- ceived Heath was living quite openly in a hotel in Bourne- mouth, posing as a group cap- tain. Scotland Yard then made a fatal mistake. They refused to release to the Press a photo- graph of a vile and vicious man, wanted for a diabolical murder. Their only excuse was that they felt the publication might preju- dice the future identification at the murderer when arrested. It was a ridiculous theory; there was overwhelming evi- dence against Heath for the mur- der of Marjorie Gardner. Had they allowed Heath's photograph to be published, he would doubt- less have been arrested before he could have killed his second victim, the young ex -Wren whom he met on his arrival at Bourne- mouth. After talking glibly of his war- time heroics, he had suggested a walk along the cliffs. Doreen Marshall fought brave- ly for her life, but, like Marjorie Gardner, she was hacked to pieces by Heath and her remains hurled behind a bush in Bourne- mouth's Branksome Chine.
