...arrived from Moscow's Bishop Nikolai: "I regret deeply to have to inform you that the Very Holy Patriarch is sick. This makes it impossible to receive you as planned." Germans were incensed at the turndown. Headlined West Berlin's Neue Zeitung: DIBELIUS EX-VITED. Added Der Tagesspiegel: "That's what we call Soviet coordination. Stalin runs a fever and the Patriarch has to take...
Imported antiSemitism! cried Berlin's U.S.-licensed Tagesspiegel. It was protesting against the expensively produced British movie Oliver Twist, J. Ar thur Rank's cinematic hot potato which the protests of Jewish groups had kept from U.S. screens (TIME, Oct. 4). A short time later, Berliners themselves protested in more destructive fashion at the movie's faithful portrait of Charles Dickens' "Jew Fagin," fence and brutal master of a gang of young thieves...
...editor and publisher of Berlin's Tagesspiegel (Mirror of the Day), biggest paper in the U.S. zone, 54-year-old Reger is a key man in the Allied effort to reestablish a free German press. In the summer of 1945, when "good" Germans were hard to find, American officers summoned him from his village of Mahlow.

Written in prosy, pedantic German, it runs unemotional editorials that occasionally criticize vacillating U.S. policy. Reger's own articles, like himself, are stolid, learned and long-winded. His chief troubles are those of all the German press: newsprint shortage (most of it comes from the Russian zone), and newsmen who are untainted...
...This week I read that TIME will be sold once more in Berlin-together with the Tägliche Rundschau, the Telegraf, the Kurier, and the Tagesspiegel. The results should be interesting. Perhaps some explanations will be in order, so that the 'New Germany' won't mistake a critique of President Truman as the first step by certain political elements to start a 'putsch' or news about Russian officers being arrested somewhere as the beginning of a new war. Here, therefore, are some comments that may help in reading TIME...
