SPIUNOF.R AP Newsl'eatui'es Writer May yotrand your "lovwf -? eiijoy to the fullest all of tlie good that is in store for you during the Christmas Seafron and the days to come. i i i i NKW YOHK The man from Missouri, who had lo he shown, pro vided America's newspapers with Mieir biggest story of l!4li, accord ing lo results of a poll ot Associated Press member editors. The editors voted overwhelmingly that Harry S. Truman's spec tacular feat of slumping the experts and winning the Presidential election against almost all expectations was the greatest single event of the year. Second place in the poll, in which tup news executives from all sections of the country participated, went to Hie "Battle of Berlin," in which was symholizrd Hie growing deterioration of relations between Soviet Russia and the west. An important part oi this story was the institution of the Berlin airlift. the unprece dented aerial ferrying of food and supplies into the western zones of the German eapilal eity after the Russians set up a blockade of the railways and roads. In order, the following stories also won lop ranking: :i The birth on May l.r of a new nation- Israel and Hit- light for survival against the countries of the Arab League into which it was ininicdialely plunged. Bloodshed in Palestine was a continuing story throughout the year. 4 Assassination of Mahatnia Gandhi. India's "man of peace," who had lived to see one of his dreams realized when his country won independence from Britain in It) 17. was killed on his way to a prayer mcctini; by a Hindu fanatic Jan. 30. His death, mourned he world over, inspired India's Hindus and Moslems to work to grtlier to end their long and bloody feuds. ,r Congressional approval of the Marshall plan through ap propriations to gel the Kuropcan Recovery Program under way. As surances nt American aid inspired the Western democracies to keep up their resistance lo Ciminiuiiist pressure. Reports late this year indicated that the $(i.0()0.000. (Hill appropriation passed by Congress in June was hinging about recovery in western Kurope. (i Thr cost of living. Through part of the .year, many prices went up and up. In the nation's kitchens lhe story of Ainenca'b postwar inflation was perhaps the biggest story of 194H. Hut at the year's end eoimnodity prices were down from their peaks and econ omists were saving that perhaps the boom had spent its force. 7 Communist advances in China. Communism matched on in the Orient, the Reds moving into Mukden in October to control all of Manchuria, and making big gains elsewhere in China so that it was necessary, in December, to proclaim martial law in the Nationalist-held area. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, head of the hard-pressed Nationalists, appealed for American aid. His wife raced to this country to try to enlist support. H Madame Kascnkina's attempts lo slay in America. The Russian-born schoolteacher did not want lo return to her native land. When she was detained against her will, she said in lhe Russian consulate in New York, she leaped from a window Aug. 12. In a critical condition, she was taken to a hospital outside Soviet jurisdiction. Her ! one-woman light against a government made front-page headlines ; from coast to coast. It also led lo expulsion fioni lhe Tinted Slates ol the Soviet Consul General. I 9-Death of Babe Ruth. Baseball.

Hi. 10 Anti-Communist investigations. Prolongs of the House Committer on I n-American Affairs produced a series of sen sations during the year. The greatest rame in December, when Whittakcr Chambers produced top socret documents allegedly tak en from the State Department. Chambers involved Alger Hiss, who denied his charges. Other stories mentioned prominently by AP editors included: De feat of the Communists in the Kalian election: Stepping up of American re-arming, and lhe peacetime draft; Communist seizure of Czecho slovakia: Birth of a son 'and possible future kingi to Britain's Princess Elizabeth; Cleveland's World Scries victory over the Boston Braves; Division of the Democratic party in the national political campaign.

When the needles start falling, it is a good idea to take the tree down and discard it. Moose are this continent's larg est game animal. Because their diet sometimes consists of hardwood shrubs and twigs, the Algonquins called them "wood eaters". NOT HIS BEST FRIEND NEW LEXINGTON, O. (UP) Clyde Kelly liked dogs until he was put in jail on an automobile theft charge. A small fox terrier was his downfall. The dog's excited bark ink brought Sheriff Clair Butts on the run. He found Kelly had sawed his way from Ftis cell and was on a second-story ledge. Polar bears use only their fore legs while swimming.
