Then came Germany with its Christmas tree Eng
land with its Yule-log ritual.
After journeying to many lands the carpet re-
turned the children to their safe homes in America
where they made ready for Christmas day.
The curtain rolled back to show inspire

cessional onto the stage. Reverend Robert Lee
Kincheloe led the children and audience in the

anthems beautifully sung by the Junior Choir, with
rich organ interludes.
THE SPIRIT OF THE CHRIST CHILD
The Christmas candles are burned out; the carols
have died away; the star is set; all the radiant
song-thrilled night past.
Thou alone, the Eternal, rematnest, and Thou
art enough.
Remain to beautiful, more beloved, more
real than any of the romance that clusters around

Swiss Military Leader
Also Famed Story Teller

GENEVA R.-Gen. Henri Guisan,
generalissimo of the Swiss Army, is
famed militarily as a strategist, but So
cially as a story teller.
At luncheon given him recently the
general told of number of letters he
had received from the families of mo-
bilized men asking for the liberation of
their fathers, sons or husbands.
One farmers wife, he said, wrote him
the following letter:
my General:
"They have modified my husband,
my son and my mule. To finish the
harvest I beseech you to free my son
and my mule, as for my husband, you
may keep him in the army, for he is
only an old drunkard."

The Associated willkie Clubs founded
by Oren Root, jr., and the Independent
Democrats for Willkie, sponsored by
Lewis Douglas and John Hanes, can
hardly go on as national organizations
after Tuesdays defeat. The Republican
National Committee, however, will con-
tinue to function between elections as
before.
The damage to the Republican organ
ization is not comparable to the wreck
age of the Democratic machine in 1923.
John j. Raskob and few other rich men
underworld the building of this machine.
One of their aims, it is true, was to repeal
the prohibition amendment, but they
built so we'll that in 1882 that machine,
taken over by the new team of Roosevelt
and Farley, was able to pile up great
popular and electoral majorities against
Hoover.
II the opposition to the New Deal Is
to be continued, it probably will be di-
rected by the professionals of the Re-
publican National Committee. In Tues
days balloting Willkie received mere
than 100000 votes. There were Re-
publican victories in State and local
elections. 1t will be job for profession
ais to keep that tremendous group in
line against the New Deal
BY staying in the background in this
campaign-it has been said that they
were showed into the background--the
Republican professionals now can come
foreward, disclaim responsibility for
Tuesdays national defeat, and take up
the jobs they lost when Willkie stormed
the Philadelphia convention.

P-38 Question Will B e
Raised When House
Committee Meets
Rv EDWARD E. BOMAR

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-R-
Keen Allied interest in a seven
mile-a-minute American warplane
may accelerate a showdown in the
administrations policy on foreign
purchases of aircraft.
The fighter is the army air corps
P-3S, a heavily armed, two'motored
Lockheed which the war depart.
ment has just released in 4 modi-
fled version-for sale abroad. The
catch in the release Is that without
a secret device, the plane cannot
make top speed.
1t apperaed likely that tho CUES.
ton of the Piss might he raised
when the house military committee
opens its investigation of warplane
purchases next week. The inquiry
was postponed unexpectedly yester-
day because Of the inability Of Sec.
rotary Woodring to appear.
How far negotiations on The PISS
have progressed was not clear.
Specific types were not mentioned
when Arthur B. Purvis, head Of the
British-French purchasing mission,
reported continuing discussions for
the acquisition of a potential ST.
900, 900, 900 worth of American
planes. Purvis said that the signed
contract stage had not been reach
ed, however.
Informed aviation sources point
ed out that any negotiations for a
substantial order of Piss planes
seemed likely to involve the ques-
ton of the administrations policy.
Louis Johnson, assistant secretary
of war, emphasized that the secret
device-probably a supercharger -
had not been released for export.
On Tuesday President Roosevelt
said military secrets which other
nations could not duplicate would
be kept confidential as long as DOS
sible.
The Allies have shown an interest
in acquiring numbers of the P-3S as
an answer to Germany's newest and
fastest two-motored fighter, a Mes
serschmitt Ill, credited with ability
to approach 400 miles an hour.
1t was 379mile-an-hour, two
motored Messerschmitt 10, a less
advanced model, which nazis said
scored heavily repelling a British
raid on Helgoland last December.
Berlin officials claimed that "a OF
SO British bombers were shot down.
With full equipment, the Ameri-
can plane promises the. definitely
superior speed which airrnen deem
vital in sky warfar. Without it, the
prospective purchasers question
that it could match the nazi's latest
