Santa Is Worried
As Mickey Mouse
Muscles In
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-An un-
seasonal employment slump had
members of the National Association
Of Professional Santa Clauses pull
Ing their boards in worry today.
The second annual convention Of
Kris Kringles protested yesterday
that jobs were being lost because of
unfair competition from Mickey
Mouse, Ferdinand the Bull and the
Seven Dwarfs.
The convention decided against
trying to remedy the situation by
collective bargaining, however, be-
cause the IA Santas present didn't
want to picket.
Children, if they saw us as every
day human beings, indulging in
everyday labor disputes, would be
Immediately disillusioned," explained
William Lein, retiring president.
Mr.. Lein urged campaign against
''uneducated' Santa Clauses.
Il refer to the Santa Clauses who
revert to desc, dem and dose to put
across their ideas to children" he
said
Il believe we should make this pro-
fession a tried and strict one, not
allowing just any one to come into
it unless duly qualified by manner of
speech, character, appearance and
general manner"

Bonding Committee
Reports 10 Court

Before District Court today was
the report of special committee
relating to the bonding situation in
the District Police Courts.
Justice Jesse C. Adkins, to whom
the report was made directly on be-
half of the court, said that the con-
tents will not be made public imme-
diately.
The special committee studied the
bonding situation for some six
4. months and heard all available evi-
dence on it, including the bondsmen
themselves. The personnel of the
special committee comprised Col.
Charles E. Stewart. clerk of District
Court: William Adkins, clerk of the
Criminal Courts of District Court:
Assistant United States Attorney
Harry l.. Underwood and Walter F..
Bramhall, chief clerk of the Police
Court.
1t is expected that the 10 justices
of District Court will consider the
report thoroughly before formulat-
ing any definite recommendation
To change the existing status in
District Court would require addi-
tional rules. These would be adopted
only after the court itself has con-
sidered the matter in general term
with all available justices partici-
pating.
