WASHINGTON - Behind
the senate demand for an
enumeration of the presidents
emergency powers lies the dis
covery that almost forgotten
laws dating from the days of
the Spanish American con-
flict give him controls over
the individuals freedom and
many a corporations economic
life. Whether they can be IN
voked only during a war or
at the presidential pleasure is
the question which worries
the legislators.
A preliminary survey discloses
that the chief executive can be-
come a benevolent dictator II he
chooses. He can close the banks
and stock exchanges, further de-
value the gold or silver dollar,
commander all outstanding silver.
He can regulate the rates Of for
eign exchange and determine the
amount any American may hold.
He can prohibit all exports of
materials he deems essential to ma
tional safety. He can suspend the
s-hour day on government con-
tracts. restrict travel abroad, take
over any radio station for govern
ment use. Under old espionage
acts he can pry into the affairs of
any suspected person.
President Roosevelt is not respon-
sible for the existence of these
dictatorial laws, and there is no
sign that he intends to invoke them.
There have been many moves TO
repeal them, but the army-navy
crowd always urged their retention
on the theory that they could be
utilized if any emergency broke
while congress was not in session.
American military experts have
received such alarming reports of
new German weapons for land, sea
and air destruction that they are
cheered by. confidential adyices
from our topnotch military attaches
in Europe on the yulnerabiity OF
Hitler's tanks.

that very one which contributed the last devasting runner to her very last pair Any of us-mcst any day!
 The current Victorian revival pro- vides glittering hair ornaments. ceautiful purses, exquisite compacts, 3xciting costume jewelry for the weet young miss whose feminine eharfns are now enhanced by curls piled high above wasp-waist and oustles.
 Beautifully monogrammed purse and matching gloves-just for her cosmetic ensemble, a flattering house coat designed to reawaken every day pride in her complexion and coiffure bring the light back to your eyes of a domesticated mo- ther.
 Sophisticated best sellers lend their own cachet to the girl who thinks you appreciate her mind, but give her a lovely cigarette case, a stun ming pair of gloves, if you want her deep gratitude.
 Modern women practice the cha meleons feat of frequent color changes with accessories. That's where the matching glove-and-tur- ban gift gets it's important Yule note, to say nothing of the scarf and purse and hat combinations that do wonders for every basic costume
 Who said handkerchiefs are un- original gifts? Many a woman col 'ects mouchoirs like boys collect marbles. Sheerest line bordered in fine lace, very personal monogram ned designs share honors with plashy prints and contrastingly ordered monotones to blend with 'ssorted winter and summer enSem- 1les. And what about handkerchief 1cxes and those glove and cosmetic nsembles that are a luxurious note n any lady's dressing table.
 And even the elder girl finds it ! spur to neatness.

Jap Villagers Kneel at Mound
 They Call Christ's Burial Place

TOKYO.-Peasants in a remote
 A northern Japanese village do not celebrate Christmas but they believe Jesus Christ died in Japan.
 Nor are they Christians, but each year they kneel before a strange mound which they believe is Christ's burial place.
 This takes place at the village of Herai where Buddhists or Shintoists gather each year around a mound surmounted by pillar on which are three Japanese characters and a six-pointed star composed of inter locking triangles, like the Hebrew emblem.
 How this strange tradition arrived in Japan is not known, but visitors notice that the village, which is To- cated in Aomori, near the extreme tip of Honshu island, is no great distance south of Mount Yadaijin, which is pronounced almost like the modern Japanese word for Jew"
 The S1x-polnted star IS completely foreign to the people, yet some peas ants are familiar with the Biblical version of Christ's death. The Ao- morian story, which they fave be- lieved for 20 centuries, is this:
 During the reign of the Emperor Suinin, the eleventh emperor, a young white man came to live in the district. Twelve years later, at the age of 34. he disappeared. His name: Soraitaro.
 Fifteen years later he returned and told the people he had been to the land of his birth teaching reli- zion and that, because of his beliefs, had been sentenced to death by cru cifixion.
 Soraitaro is then said to have told

that needs encouragement? Does he have a peculiar weakness for some sport or certain type of clothes which he's intentionally discouraged because it's extravagant?
 In the clothing line, besides the first named items, you might look at smoking jackets, cuff links or tie clasp set with his birthstone. Maybe he needs exercise for that waistline. Answer: Athletic equip ment. Most men like games for freside entertainment, or they'd appreciate lunch kit for hunting and fishing trips.
 For Sister or SiUeethedrt:
 Platter her tastes, and make it distinctly 'from-me-to-you' sort of gift. Jewelry is a favorite standby. Then there are books (which are regaining favor as gifts), pair of gloves, a desk set, book ends-or how about real, live dog to stress the Love me, love my dog angle? For Brother or Sweetheart:
 If the young man is particularly close to you there's an extremely wide range of gifts. Otherwise an expensive. elaborate gift might ex- press too great an interest and you might therefore be wise to stick to the books -and-handkerchief line.
 Proper choice of gifts requires a cool analysis of the man. If he likes the outdoor life, follow the sports motif. If he works inside, how about a memo pad or a desk set with a large blotter and leather accesso- ries? Generally speaking, avoid tricky gifts and follow your sales persons advice.

Every woman appreciates the flat tery of a gift that suggests the lovely picture she presents to you. The career girl whose budget makes her one of the cleverest-d dressed women and the pampered darling who finds it's no problem to be one of the best dressed girls, all like something to wear. So does the m her who courageously risks dowdiness to pro vide fine feathers for her flock the year around.
 The glamor girl of Santas own story books was transformed from the drab picture of everyday life through the generosity of one who saw the beauty of her soul and re- flected it for the nonce in her at- tire.
 If you're clever you'll complement the tailored picture of the girl who is glad you are impressed by her carefully designed and colorful cas- ual clothing. Matching accessories, gadgets for her lapel will set the seal of your approval on her choice.
 There isn't a lady living who does not relish luxurious gifts of lingerie to supplement her wardrobe for ev- cry day as well as the formal toil- cites and the tailored togs that see her through the years round of en- gagements-
 Suede jackets and skirts, colorful corduroy ensembles, to say nothing of sweaters and blouses will bring color to her cheeks and light her eyes on Christmas morning.
 Whether she's going back to col lege or staying right at home there's a house-coat of becoming hue or a warm wooly robe that make her think of you gratefully on frosty mornings.
 Rainy weather will hold no terror for the girl for whom you provide sleek. tightly fitting new galoshes. They're as smart as well-designed shoes and no less disfiguring on the most drab day. And what about a rsincoat with snood to make her l feel well dressed on a drenchlng day?
 If you're giving hose, break down and provide luxurious sheer pair for the girl whose budget shouts against such extravaganza. Hosiery ] comes in smart packages these days but even one pair in deftly tied package will win you the undyln2 1 love of any lady who treks weekly ! toward the hosiery counter to stock up against an evil dy-perhaps that

 Near the alleged burial mound is the ruin of a stone building which villagers call "Tsukino-Tatte," the House of the Moon. Many foreign articles are reported to have been unearthed from this place. People say it is the place where Jesus wor- shiped.
 They do not worship His memory in a religious way, nor is the mound especially sacred. They describe Jesus as "Sei-jin," saint or wise man.

 There are two schools of thought on this subject, and the government grants father his constitutional rights to do as he pleases. But it is suggested, after deliberation, that a short person had best stand and a tall person should sit for the most effective work. Are you short or tall?
 The next problem, says the bulle- tin, is the point of attack. It is here that many head of house, the bureau believes, has lost the Christmas spirit through ignorance or awkwardness-or just plain stub bornness.
 Only a few simple rules need be followed. The most important, of course, is to keep the bird on the platter, because it's rather difficult to work on the floor. Also, the bu-

 For Mother:
 Buy her something she would not ordinarily buy herself. They tell about the young housewife who bought a woolen muff1er for her hus- bands hard-working mother, and a fluffy, impractical gift for her own mother who already had everything she needed. By error the gifts were switched. The young housewife was mortified but both mothers were pleased beyond words.
 Practically is a nice thing but it. nice to give kitchen-chained moth- CT something besides household equipment. Like perfume or bath salts or a bed jacket. Or pair of sheer chiffon stockings. She'd also like a necklace or bracelet, or a carefully chosen set of costume jew elry to dress up last years clothes. These are just few tips-the stores can amplify them hundred-fold. For Father:
