Red China's Mao
Is a Best-Selling
Writer at Home
Tokyo - (DPS-When it comes
to writing. Communist Chi-
nese leader Mao Tse-tung re-
- putedly is no slouch.
Even objective western sin
ologists testify to the literary
excellence of the balding
Mao's poems. As a chronicler
of the Communist revolution
in China, Mao has evolved the
theories that rank him ac
cording to the Chinese as a
theorist on a par with Lenin
and Marx.
And if what the Chinese
claim is true, Mao ranks right
along with Erskine Caldwell
'. and D. H. Lawrence as a pur
veyor of popular pulps for the
public. -
, Hiroshi Yagi, a Japanese
resident in Peiping, reports
that Chinese laborers, farmers
' and housewives are standing
up all night in front of Pei
ping bookstores to buy Mao's
" latest endeavors.
Published on Oct. 1, the
fourth volume of Mao Tse-
tung's selected works has
been a publisher's dream,
Yagi reports. Yagi's views
from inside the Bamboo Cur-
'N- tain were published recently
. in the Japanese magazine
Shoho.
Popular Rponi
In England, it took the pub
lication of an unexpurgated
version of "Lady Chatterly's
Lover to evoke this DoDular
response. Mao's latest tome
is a lengthy collection of 70
essays and selected chronicles
of the Chinese Civil War
frnm 104A In 1040
More than 3 million copies
' of this volume have rolled
off Red China's presses.
The question remained
"Were any of the bindings
being creased by readers?
has been hinted that the pub
lic in Red China had discov
ered that a copy of Mao's lat
est volume could open doors
previously closed to non-con
formists. Mao's writings like
ly grace the parlors of Red
China's homes much as the
Bible is found in many
Christian living rooms.
In addition, a passing ac
quaintance with the contents
of Mao's writings might con
vince an otherwise suspicious
Communist party cadre of the
owners sincerity. Indications
tended to show that many
persons have been hitting the
books for a little Socialist
knowledge.
This is just what the Com
munists want.
Another factor would tend
to motivate readers.
Illiterate
Most of-these people were
illiterate and showed no in
terest in reading in pre-Com-
munist days," Yagi said. Now
that they have learned gram
mar, the masses are starved
for reading. With only those
books and magazines approv
ed by the Communist regime
available, this too could ac
count for Mao's popularity.
The cost of books is cheap
in state-subsidized bookstores.
"I bought 10 books, includ
ing a novel, a memoir and a
children's book," Yagi said.
Some were mere pamphlets,!
others were complete vol
umes. But I paid only 3.S0
yuan for them (about SI. 52)."
Spaniards Reappraise
Ancient Siesta Custom
Madrld-flJFD-Unrest is brew

And all because of that na
tional tradition, the siesta.
In a move aimed at bring
ing wis oia-wuriaiy coumry
into step with modern times,
the government is studying
plans to change the hours of
work and nlav.
No definite action has yet
' been taken. But the battle

leaking out.
In return, Spaniards are

traditional hours. The whole

Accidents Took
93,000 Lives in
Nation in I960
Chicago-fllTO-Accidenls kill
ed 93,000 persons in the na
tion in 1960, the National
Safety Council said today
They injured 0,300,000 oth
ers. One out of every 19 per
sons in the nation suffered
a disabling injury during the
year, me council said.
Accidents cost the United
Stales $13.4 billion, the safe
ty organization estimated
It placed the time loss alone
at 280 million man-days-cnought
to man factories with
more than a million workers
for an entire year.
In a comprehensive annual
report, the safety council said
climbed 1 per cent last year
Irom the 1939 toll of 92,080.
Death Rata Drops
But the population death
rate from accidents dropped
to an all-time low of SI. 7 per
100,000 persons. The previous
low was 52.2 per 100,000 in
1959. The decline was due
to a 2 per cent increase in
the population.
Motor vehicle accidents
were the No. 1 killer. They
claimed 38,200 lives, the
council reported, compared
with 37,910 in 1959.
Home accidents caused 27,-
500 deaths, 500 more than in
he previous year.
Work accidents claimed 13,
800 lives and public mishaps
other than motor vehicle ac
cidents took 18,500 lives. The
tolls in these two categories
were the same as in the pre
vious year.
Official Figures
The Council-noting that the
all-accidents figure was less
than the toll of the motor
vehicle, home, work and pub
lic tolls-explained that the
motor vehicle total included
some also shown as work or
home deaths. It said the all
accident and motor vehicle
totals were official figures of
the office of vital statistics,
and the others were NSC esti
mates. The council said falls-al-ways
a major killer-killed
18,700 persons in 1960, about
the same as in 1959. Fire and
burns caused 7,300 deaths, 8
; per cent more than In the
, previous year.
t Drownings totaled 6,500, up
.1 per cent. Firearms killed
2,300, about 2 per cent more
than in 1959.
hour is only one phase of the
government's project.
The first step would be to
muve opuiiisii lime oucit an
hour, to make it conform with
Greenwich Time. Then the
government would move the
opening" hour of shops and
stores up to 8 o'clock in the
morning. Normally, public
shops and stores open some
time around 9 a.m. and at 8
o'clock in the morning there
are only a few unfortunate
garbage collectors and milk
men on the street - plus a few
people headed for home after
a late night on the town.
Lunch Hour
At present the "lunch
hour begins about 1 o'clock
in . the afternoon and lasts
until 4 or 5 p.m. This allows
time for the worker to go
home, eat a hearty meal, sleep
an hour or so, and then go
back to work until 8 or 9 p.m.
The crucial part of the gov
ernment plan involves this: It
would keep the lunch hour at
1 o'clock - but would make it
only one hour long.
And this is where the revo
lution is brewing.
For most Spaniards this
would hardly give them time
to get home and back to work,
let alone eat and hit the hay
for an hour. There also is a
more practical consideration.
Most Spaniards hold two and
sometimes three jobs. They go
10 worn early and work late,
and the afternoon siesta is
necessary for them to get
decent amount of sleep.
More Night Lif
The earlier working hours
for the shops would mean
earlier hours for the night
life. Movies and theaters be
gin about 11 o'clock at night.
After that is dinner, so the
Spaniard doesn't get home to
oca belorc 3 or 4 a.m.
The government would
move theater and film hours
up to 0 in the evening. Public
transportation w n 1 c h runs
until 2:30 a.m., would halt
shortly after 1 a.m.
This plan may be well and
good for the modernization of
Spain, but it is certain that
the Spanish worker Isn't
going to be happy about Koine
along with it.
Above all, the Spaniard is
an individualist. The govern
ment can easily change the
working hours of government
agencies, but it will have
more trouble regulating the
hours of the private shops.
ao wncn the plan eoes nlo
effect, it is going to be the
start of a long and sleepy
battle.

As members of the Catholic
church, we feel that no better
action can be performed by us
during Lent, or at any other
limp nf the vear. than that of
participating in the Holy Sac
rifice of the Mass. in tne days
when people were persecuted
for attending Mass, the cry
throughout those persecutea
lands was: "It is the Mass that
matters." ' . ', 1
In the Holy Sacrifice, we
have the Last Supper. Our
T.nrd save Himself to us as a
memorial of His love. We re
ceive Him in order to become
one with Him .' to be other
Chrlsts here on earth. ,
In the Mass, too, we have
the sacrifice of Calvary. In
this act. the same Christ who
died for us on Good Friday,
offers Himself daily to His
Heavenly Father through the
hands of the priest. I
Lent, as a time of penance
and dying to the world, gives
no an hHHpH reason to be more
dedicated to the Mass. Dur
ing these weeks before Easter,
we can live in, with and
through Christ, We mortify
our bodies by making the ef
fort, sometimes in very oaa
anther, to eet to the Church.
We practice penance In going
to Mass rather and sleeping

we can really say with the
