Consolidation of County and City Governments, Community Auditorium, OUR CHRISTMAS HERITAGE The Christmas season always brings back the sweet- est memories of youth to’those who enjoy the fantasy and sparkle of the Santa Claus story. In addition, it brings a more significant observance, a respect for the Christ- ian principles of life, which are too often forgotten in the rush of modern liviig. * The real Christmas spirit is one of unselfishness and giving. Thus, the people who enjoy the scene around the Christmas tree, on Christmas morning, and the emptying of) stockings, more than the children, are the mothers and fathers who watch this exciting moment, once a year. As Christmas Day, 1952 approaches, the time seems highly appropriate for a new dedication to the princi- ples of Christianity. The United States, of all the coun- tries in the history of the world, today enjoys more bless- ings and more of the good things of life: than any other nation. Yet, we live in troubled times, when American » We¥s are dying on far-away battlefields); and» when gut per-weapons threaten to devastate large areas of the world ity'dn instant. The ominous scene which can result from the use of these new weapons is almost too terrible to attempt to describe. As a nation, we must hope and pray that we will survive the modern crisis and we have those of the past and there is every reason to believe that we will. Mean- while, we pause briefly to observe and enjoy the Christ- mag holiday season, The decorations, the spirit and the mood of Christmas haye been handed down to us from many nations and the various customs date back many centuries, We celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Jegus on the 25th of December, although the experts have never been able to agree that this is the right date. January 6th was observed by the Christians in Palestine and Egyptian theologians fixed the date as May 20th. Others observed April 19th and 20th and many schol- ars have contended that December 25th is far from the mark. Nevertheless, we continue to observe this day and it is as good as any other. The different countries con- tributed different parts of the over-all Christmas pag- eantry and observance. The carols seem to have come from Germany, where they were sung in the Eleventh Century. The custom of decorating homes in green comes} from England. . : The Christmas tree originated in Germany and the first authentic mention of a Christmas tree concerned one at Strasbourg, in 1 05. In the South, the Christmas sea- son is always observed by fireworks, this custom having | been introduced into this country by French immigrants, who had settled around New Orleans. The observance of the Christmas season with fireworks comes from France, Spain and Italy. The belief in Santa Claus as the giver of gifts orig- inated in Germany. tion being Santa Claus, is supposed to have given three| young women, who had no suitors, bags of gold, after which gift they quickly were married and lived happily | ever afterward. From this legend and spirit, the Santa Claus story has grown ititethe grand custom that it is! today. The Norsemen actually added the chimney descent tothe German legend. So, the Christmas season, and the Christmas i$ derived from the legends and customs tries of the world. But in‘no country has the observance taken on more romance and c the United States.

BARRETT WASHINGTON #—A far-reach- ing, possibly historic move to limit the scope of United States treaties attracted strong support today from incoming congressmen throughout the country. Lawmakers replying to an Asso- ciated Press survey went on rec- ord 8-1 as favoring a move by Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio) to amend the Constitution so as to prohibit the U. S. from entering into binding international agreements in such fields as human freedoms and social and economic rights. Supporters agree enthusiastically that some such ban is needed to insure a yielding of American rights; foes say jhe amendment would just delay and hamstring international cooperation and the conduct of foreign affairs by the U. S. Bricker’s argument {s\that the field of human freedoms and social rights is an internal mattér which should be governed only by domes- tic law—by the Constitution itself, and by state and federal laws passed under the Constitution. Although the Ohio senator con- cedes that no treaties signed so far have regulated domestic rights of Americans, he insists that treaties now pending before the United Nations—if finally ratified by the U. S.—would restrict free- dom of the press, freedom of speech, trial by jury and other rights guaranteed in the American Constitution. The language of Bricker’s pro- posed amendment drew fire from the State and Justice Departments in the last session of Congress on two grounds: 1. The proposal would erect a barrier of undue delay and restric- tion in international co-operation {and the conduct of foreign affairs by the U. S. 2, The amendment is not neces- sary, because if a treaty ever conflicted with the Constitution the Supreme Court would hold the Constitution is supreme and that section of the treaty would be invalidated.

The sources said the new strat- egy paper, placed before NATO foreign and defense ministers dur- ing meetings here this week, drew attention to the fact that, with the admission of Turkey, Allied forces have been brought virtually face- to-face with Russia’s Caucasian forces. Details of the outline, drafted by Allied military planners to take into account the new military po- sition of the west, have been a closey guarded secret. But broad- ly, it sets the frontiers of Western freedom along the line of a giant transcontinental are. This are stretches from Nor- way’s Arctic tip southward through Denmark, along the line of Ger- many’s Elbe River, then southeast- ward through Greece to the Turk- ish-Russian. border in the Caucas- us, between the Black and Caspian Seas. The previous Allied land line ran south from Germany to the toe ee the Italian boot. Despite the fact that there are about 15 hard-fighting Turkish di- visions in the field, the paper ap- parently did not suggest that the admission of Turkey added any im- mediate strength to Allied de- fenses. The strategy paper was said to An Associated Press survey of the president making the agree-|have drawn attention to the need opinions among incoming congress- men showed overwhelming senti- ment in favor Of the principle of the Bricker proposal, but some doubt about the language and just how far it should go in restricting treaty-making powers. Bricker is rewriting his proposed amendment and promises to make it his top order of business in the new Congress, convening Jan. 3. In the survey, senators and rep- resentatives throughout the coun- try were asked, “Do you believe the Constitution should be amended along the lines of the Bricker reso- lution to specify that treaties may ment, unless extended by Congress. The Yalta and Tehran pacts in World War II are examples of executive agreements criticized by some congressmen. Bricker’s proposed amendment had two other sections: One providing that treaties may not delegate U. S. legislative, exec- utive or judicial powers to an in- ternational organization; Bricker said this section possibly is too Testrictive, and he is rewriting it. Another providing that no treaty or executive agreemert shall alter or abridge federal or state laws— unless Congress approves, and never take precedence over rights|then only to the extent approved and guarantees in the Constitu- tion?” Ninety-seven House members definitely replied yes, and 42 were inclined favorably—a total of 138. Only five said no and: 10 others were inclined toward opposition, a total of 15-10 Democrats and five Republicans. In the Senate, 59 senators spon- sored the resolution in the rast | frome session. Thirty-four indicated sup- port in the survey and five—all Democrats—indicated opposition. , Replies from supporters included | ii many comments such as “absolute. ly...very definitely. . .wholehearted/ ly...highly essential.’ » Replies from 52 representatives and 17 senators did not show senti, ment either way. The remaining 270 new Congress members could not be reached or did not respond. In addition to limiting the scope of treaties, which must be approved by the Senate, the Bricker proposal also seeks te restrict international agreements entered by the U. S. president or State Department out- side the formal treaty process. Bricker said many presidents have been accused by Congress of using executive agreements instead of treaties to circumvent the law- makers. His proposed resolution would have barred such agreements “‘in lieu of treaties.” It also provided that any executive agreements would expire automatically one | |gals of the Hollywood press listed | Saint Nicholas, the German corrup- | their pet loves and hates among the |1.- pidgeon, year after the end of the term of by Congress.

He said the whole problem should be explored. The Constitution says in Article 6, Paragraph 2: “The Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn), oppos- ing|the Bricker proposal, replied sign, by law under ovr Constitu- tion, become a part of our law. This is particularly essential in this day and age where our inter- national affairs have become so }much an everyday part of our life | to the survey: “Treaties which we las a nation.” Janet Leigh, Spouse, Named ‘As Most Cooperative Actors worth, Hedy Lamarr, Olivia de | Havilland, Esther jams.
