in a position to flank Red-held

Korea.
At the same time, Chinese and
North Korean Reds counter-attack-

the central front 15 miles farther
east and against South Korean
troops in the Eastern Mountains.
Field officers said the eastern
most assault may have penetrated

Record Comics
Given Praise
The Daily Record’s comic page
received high praise this morning
from one of the nation’s top syndi
cate executives.
George Haslam of New York
City, sales executive for King Fea
tures Syndicate, visited The Record
this morning and described the
paper’s comic page as, “One of the
best I’ve ever seen in a city this
size.”
King Features, one of the several
syndicates which supplies comics
and other features to The Daily
Record, is the largest In the world
and supplies newspapers in more
than 60 different countries with
features.
COMICS ARE IMPORTANT
Discussing the popularity of com
ics, Haslam frankly lamented:
“The Mayor of New York could
get assassinated and you could
leave it out of the paper and not
get a half dozen complaints. But
Just leave out Blondie and they’ll
Jam your switchboard with com
plaints.”
“Personally,” added Haslam, “for
a man who has devoted niost of
his life to writing, that's almost an
insult. But that’s the score.”
He pointed out that a survey
Just completed by the American
Newspaper Publishers’ Association
