Blitz's bitter rival Current (circ. 9,000) is like Blitz in every way except that it is antiCommunist. Last week Karanjia's brand of journalism landed him and his rival, Current Publisher D. (for Dosoo) F. Karaka in jail. The charge: forging and publishing a letter that was supposed to have been sent by U.S. Ambassador to India Chester Bowles...
Cheng-lock Tan, 69, is Britain's best Chinese friend in Malaya (he was knighted last year for services to the empire). A stalwart antiCommunist, whom the Reds once tried to assassinate, Tan founded the Malayan-Chinese Association in 1949 to provide Malaya's Chinese with a spiritual alternative to Marxism.

He threatened to resign unless the association backed his political program, and he got his way. Henceforth...
Novelist John (Grapes of Wrath) Steinbeck, the Reds' favorite U.S. proletarian novelist even after the cold war began, is now an outspoken antiCommunist.

After being herded into the small pens, the battered survivors of Compound 76 had still not had enough. Three times in one day they disobeyed orders; each time they were brought to heel by tear-gas barrages. One antiCommunist, hardly more than four feet tall, seized his chance to scramble under the wire of his pen, lacerating his back but getting away just ahead of clutching Communist fingers. He said he had been sentenced to death, and he then put the finger on 102 members of kangaroo courts. These malefactors were dragged out by U.S. guards for isolation...
