PHILIP JOHNSON, Van-

couver, Age 12: I have written
the following letter to Prime

Minister Diefenbaker and
would appreciate your pub-
lishing it. ;

‘Dear Sir: My name is Phil-
ip Johnson. I am writing to
you because of the free mis-
siles Canada is getting from
the U.S. Why do we need mis-
siles. They are only a threat
to the human race.

‘You have had your life,
now let us have ours. When
you were a child they never
even thought about missiles
so why think about missiles
now? They are only destruc-
tion. Maybe it is your job,
but I am making it my job to
do my best to prevent a future
nuclear war. ; ;

others wouldn’t want it to hap-

So let us not fool around
with those ‘babies’ with the

New Lenin pamphlet
A new pamphlet “Lenin the
Man,” came off the press last
week. Writen by Boris Pole-
voy, the gifted Soviet writer
and novelist, and specially
translated in Canada, it tells in
warm and exciting style about
the human, more personal side
of the. life of the great world
Communist leader and found-
er of the Soviet state.
The pamphlet has been pub-
lished by Progress Books on
the occasion of the 90th anni-
versary of Lenin’s birth; which
is being commemorated this
month and through the rest of
this year. It contains 28 pages,
is printed on quality book pa-
per and sells for 25c. (Avail-

With the announcement
on March 21 that Frank

Albert Maltz- to write the
screenplay for the best-
selling novel, “The Execu-

blacklist of progressives in
Hollywood continues to

Earlier in the week three
interesting developments took
place: (1 Darryl Zanuck, for-

announced that he would hire
blacklisted writers for his in-
dependent company; (2) Wil-
