Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir-

action in the next session of Con-
gress on his proposal to impose rigid
control over bank holding COM
panies.
The S0-year-old Virginian, who
has voiced caustic criticism of many
New Deal policies, introduced a bill
last spring to regulate these COM
panies after President Roosevelt
had condemned concentrated eco
nomic power" in a message to Con-
gress.
Among other things, Senator
Glass bill would forbid the forma-
ton of additional bank holding COM
panies, prohibit existing holding
companies from acquiring contro
of additional banks, and prevent
banks controlled by holding COM
panies from establishing additional
branches. In effect. it would
freeze" the bank holding company
structure at its present size.
There now are so holding com
panies controlling 500 banks with
assets of $1,000 000,0
In another field of banking, Sena-

said he would ask Congress to give
the Federal Reserve Board authority
to manipulate currency and credit

The Christmas spirit with its
theme of peace and good will ling

Government Offices, banks and
business houses remained closed for
an extra holiday because Christmas
fell on Sunday. The day continued
the quiet tenor of yesterdays OBJ
servance. 1t was marked for the
most part by family gatherings,
special religious services and a re-
turn of winter weather.
After clear, bright Christmas
the Weather Bureaus forecast was
for rain turning to snow and a
sharp drop tonight in temperature.
President Roosevelt led the Capt.
tai yesterday in observing its best
Christmas in years-a Christmas
made happy here by record amount

systematic care for all those in need
Traditional White House Observance
1t was a traditional Roosevelt
Christmas at the White House. Four
generations of Roosevelts were pres
ent-Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt of
New York, the Presidents mother,
the President and his wife, their sons
James and Franklin, jr., and their
sons wives and children. Youngest
of the family group was 5-month-old

The President, accompanied by
members of his family and Mr.. Hop
kins, attended services at the ST.
Thomas Episcopal Church, where he
heard Dr. Howard S. Wilkinson say
peace on earth can exist only in the
hearts of men.
The rector, touching on delicate
international affairs, said Ito side
track war is not necessarily peace
and ito tolerate injustice is not
peace" Peace on earth, he en-
phasized, will come only from men
of good will-such good will that be-
gins with individuals and spreads
to nations.
After the services the President
returned to the White House and

A light was burning extra bright
in the Kurrie home for Christmas
morning.
1t outshone all the red and green
and blue lights on the Christmas
tree, was more brilliant than the
tinsel and gayer than the holly
trimmings.
The brightest light shone in the
face of Nancy Jean Kurrie.
You remember Nancy Jean. She's
the little Bethesda CMd.) girl who
couldn't live because an automobile
crash in July put out all but the
tiniest spark of life in her body
That would surely go out too, doctors
thought.
Went Home in October.
But it didn't. Nancy Jean re-
turned home in October.
She lived. And Saturday night
Santa Claus visited her home for
the fifth time. He must have known
OF her trying experience this year
for he brought her almost every
thing to make her happy.
Her face, now rosy and full
beamed when she saw the big doll
house, furnished with lights and all
She laughed with delight at q
funny-looking doll with a red nose
A big automobile, streamlined with
silvery wheels, made her blue eyes
open wide.
Nancy Jean is quite tomboy. 50
she was particularly pleased with a
small work bench with the little
hammer, saw and building materials
Other gifts filled the Kurrie living
room
Parents Share Happiness.
Oh, boy, I betcha it would take
me all day to count them!" the little
girl exclaimed as she went from one
present to another.
Her happiness was gloriouslv
shared by Mr.. and Mrs. Sebastian
M. Kurrie, her parents, who once
thought their only child would never
experience another Christmas.
Nancy Jean has been running and
playing with the other youngsters
in the neighborhood for nearly six
weeks now. She is strong again.
Her broken body healed quickly
after mending.
Simple Operation Later.
She must twist one of her legs a
little when she walks and runs, but
doctors advise against correcting
this until several years have passed.
AS she grows the leg should
straighten itself to some extent, they
say, and when Nancy Jean is about
IL, more simple operation can be
performed to complete the healing
But nothing worries Nancy Jean.
She laughs and plays throughout
the day. She never complains. She
is happy.
And Christmas Day was a doubly
happy one for her-and the older
Kurries.
Yesterday morning, the same as
almost every morning since Nancy
Jean came home from the hospital,
Mrs. Kurrie said to her husband:
ut seems almost like fairy
story"
