Daily Worker To Quit Publication In U. 5. Monday New York W The . Daily Worker, Communism's bankrupt American mouth piece, will cease publication next Monday because Mos cow will no longer back Its "Doubting Thomas' editor. The newspaper announced Wednesday that its Jan. 13 edition marking its 34th an niversary will be its last. The Communists will continue to publish the Weekly Worker, which was formerly the Worker's week end edition with a circulation of about 13.000. Whether John Gates, editor of the Worker, will continue as editor of the Weekly Work er was still in doubt. Gates led the "freedom from Mos cow movement at the Ameri can Communist Party con vention last February and subsequently made the news paper a forum of criticism of the party line as dictated by the Kremlin. Shaken By Repression Gates' faith was shaken by Russia's bloody repression of the Hungarian revolution in 1956. The fact that he aired his doubts on the editorial page of the Worker ended his usefulness to the Kremlin. The suspension of the news paper was interpreted as a victory for former Commu nist Party chairman William Z. Foster, a stiffbacked Stal inist who has been ousted from the party's high com mand by the Gates faction. According to an maicauons, j j t osier reiainea enuugii puwci ; j to cut off the financial bacK-, ing which the Worker re-( ceived from the party's se-, cret reserve fund of $500,000 to $1 million. Can't Meet Deficit j "We have been informed by the Communist Party that it is not in a position to help raise the large amounts need . ed immediately to meet our i deficit, which ran to $250,- 000 in 1957," the Daily Work , er announced. "It is pointed out that lower party mem . bership, diminished resources and unresolved party differ . ences combine to bring about , an unsatisfactory situation." Thursday, January f.

Temperatures p 1 u mmeted during the night from Maine to Florida, with the most no ticeable drops occurring in New England. The U. S Weather Bureau reported that nighttime temperatures were generally about 20 degrees lower than a day earlier, and that near-zero readings were , common. - -44 Victims Counted The United Press counted .at least 44 weather victims since the snow and sold weather hit Tuesday. They included 20 deaths from traf fic or heart attacks in New England, 6 in New York and 3 in New Jersey and highway deaths in Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin. In addition, there were 11 fire victims, 4 in Virginia, 1 in North Caro lina and 8 in Midwest, and an airman died in a Florida plane crash during a rainstorm. Atlantic City, N.J., buried under 11 inches of snow, des cribed the surprise storm as the worst in 30 years, and Connecticut authorities said It was almost a decade since similar snow depths had piled up from a single storm. Warming Trend Warming was in store for most of the nation except the New England and Mid Atlan tic Coast states, with snow flurries seen only in the Northern Rockies. A general warming trend from the Great Lakes through the Mississippi Valley and most of the Plain States con tinued, accompanied in many places by fair skies. Some showers were seen in the far Northwest near the coast to round out the weather picture. 1.98 AND 2.98 LITTLE-IRON COTTON BLOUSES Choose from short sleeve, sleeveless or long sleeve styles In a host of smart colors.
