Differ on Christ's Birthday

TINE early Christmas were d.
i vided as to the date on
which the nativity Of Christ
should be celebrated. Some Of
these celebrated It on the first
or sixth of January, other groups
observed September 20 and still
another March 20. AS early as
the fourth century, however, the
period Of the new year had been
generally accepted as the time
for celebrating Christ's birth.
The Western branch Of the
church observed December 20
and the Eastern church January
6. Finally it was decided that all
should celebrate December 20.
Pope julius l., who presided in
the first half Of the fourth CEN
fury, is credited with having set
the date.

 A suggestion that a constitutional amendment might be necessary to give to congress oversight of presidential campaigns brought from Mr. Hays proposal that the parties might unite in an effort to obtain such a change in the basic law.
 Earlier in the day Mr Hays had hoped that this committee will recom- mend the passage of a bill regulating primary election expenses in national congressional and senatorial cam paigns" He also favored having all primary elections for federal offices held on a single day in every state.
 Representative Flood estimated that $220 900 would be required by his Dem Ocratic congressional committee to conduct it's efforts properly, but pre- scented figures to show that he had re- ceived only $S700 in subscriptions.

 pledged his committee to pay S5098.16 for the printing, he said. The speeches were being sent out
 under congressional frank, thereby
 eliminating postage bills. His com mittee, he said, would need $2O,OOO for it's administration expenses 1 1t pays no rent, as it uses the house office building at Washington for headquarters, he said.
