New Purge In
Soviet Ukraine
BERLIN, lA’i—The Communists
announced a shakeup in the So
viet Ukraine Thursday in the
mushrooming purge of security
and justice officials in the U.S.S.R.
and in restive East Germany.
In the third Communist shake
up in the last two days, Moscow
Radio announced the appointment
of Timofiy A. Stgokavh as Inter
ior minister of the Ukranian Re
public—second biggest of the 16
in the Soviet Union and long re
ported to be a hotbed of national
ist resentment against Kremlin
dictates.
Last night East Germany’s pup
pet government announced it had
purged Max Fechner, minister of
justice, as “an enemy of the re
public.” This is a charge punish
able by death. In Fechner’s place
the Reds named “Red” Hilde Ben
jamin, a woman jurist with a rep
utation for dealing mercilessly
with crimes against the Red re
gime.
The purge follows the deposi
tion of Lavrenty P. .Beria, former
Soviet police boss, and apparently
results from that act. The offi
cials affected are those dealing
with law enforcement or internal
security—the task of keeping the
people in line.

Modern Mermaids^^^^^^
Rejecting the old, slow way of getting around, these modern mer
maids attach their Evinrudes to wash tubs and choose their own speed,
Using the new 3-horsepower Lightwin they can carry with one hand,
Pauline Morgan, Lana Bashama and Pat Cooper cavort around a
resort pool. The motor, even without such attractive mermaids, is one
of the most popular models with fishermen because it can take them
anywhere and is very economical.

It’s the newest in a long list of Ford advancements that
make this Ford the outstanding car for ’53!
No other car near Ford’s price has ever offered you so much! Ford
was the first in its field to bring you V-8 power. Today, Ford alone of
all the low-priced cars offers you the smooth, unsurpassed perform
ance of a V-8 engine. And Ford’s Six with Overdrive, won the Sweep
stakes in this year’s Mobilgas Economy Run.
Ford first brought to the low-price field a completely automatic
transmission that combines the smoothness of a torque convertor and
the gas-saving "go” of automatic gears. In all, Ford offers 41 "Worth
More” features.
And now, in addition, Ford brings you the newest and finest in power
steering . . . Master-Guide, a system exclusive in Ford's field! It’s no
wonder, then, that Ford is the "Worth More” car . . . worth more
when you buy it . . . worth more when you sell it.
HELPS YOU OUT OF "TIGHT SPOTS I" The tougher the going the more
Master-Guide works for you. For example, if you go off the pavement
onto a soft shoulder or a rough, rutted road, Master-Guide provides
the muscles to hold a steady course. Master-Guide also absorbs the
shock that might otherwise be transmitted to the steering wheel. All
handling is easier with Master-Guide and parking requires only one
fourth the normal effort. Should Master-Guide ever lose its power, the
standard steering mechanism will operate just as usual. Thus, Master
Guide provides new ease with full security, wherever you drive.
- Optional on all V-8 models at extra cost.
