Christmas Eve on a United States destroyer, ploughing through the Pacific, battle bent. Fifty of Uncle SamS sailors are gathered in the mess haf1 faces scrubbed, hair fresh ly brushed. The engines throb, the steam pipes hiss, as they kneel for an hour of worship. The room is cold and gray and bare, except for one splash of color at the end of room "a triptych (altar-piece in three sections) standing on table covered with a white cloth. Its panels show convoy entering the harbor and above hovers the Madonna, holding the Christ child surrounded by angels. As the flickering candles light it's brilliant reds and blues and gold, the bare little room becomes a chapel, filled with the spirit of Christmas peace. The chaplain con- cludes his opening prayer and the strong young voices rise in chant -"Oh Come All Ye Faithful .
 Many scene like that will be enacted on Christmas Eve in jungle, desert and mountain pass = all of them centered around a colorful portable triptych. Behind those triptychs stands the Citizens Con- mittee for the Army and Navy, and behind it a woman.
 She is Mrs. JuniuS Morgan, daugh- ter-in-law of the late Wall Street tycoon, J. P. Morgan. Her husband, a former vice president of J. P. Mor- gan and Company, is now on leave as a captain in the navy
 Mrs. Morgan, brown-haired and blueeyed, is President of the Git izens Committee for the Army and Navy, originally founded as a re- gional group of New York and New Jersey citizens who wished to be of service to the U. s. Army 27th Division, and later extended to national organization.
 The triptychs started as result of visit I made to an army camp" said Mrs. Morgan in the committees New York headquarters recently. T asked what we citizens could do for the soldiers and was told they need ed beauty and wanted something which would mean tradition. The subject of their religious services came into conversation too. And later, on the trip home I thought of

Spirit of Christmas Shines A!aY, in JungIes,
 Deserts or Other Area

the triptychs as the answer to all those needs.
 That was more than two years ago. Since then we have supplied 300 original triptychs and 200 smaller and less expensive reproductions for the armed forces. The 300 originals were painted by very fine artists who worked for a nominal sum that barely covered the cost of paints The committee supplies the triptychs wood ones for the army and metal ones for the navy. And the whole thing is supported by subscription. Army and navy chaplains let us know their needs and we have a triptych painted especially for them.
 These triptychs, which are port able and compact, give religious atmosphere to services anywhere Put one on stage and you have a chapel. Our work won't end with the war. Think of our young people
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-12-23

who will be in service all over the world after the war and you will see that there is plenty of need for the work to go on."
 Mrs. Morgan is no figure-head president. She always had a deep interest in art and takes keen interest in each triptych and its de- sign. She spends large part of each day in supervising the triptych program in the committee head quarters. This fall she and her committee have made a special drive to supply a number of fighting units with triptychs in time for Christmas services. As a result of their work, boys will worship before them on Christmas Eve in United States camps, German battlefields, African deserts, Alaskan snows and South Sea Island jungles.

CHRISTMAS BROUGHT LISTERS

Medieval kings used to have fools and testers to amuse them. Later, however, the wearers of the cap and bells were not the exclusive possess sion of kings and queens, princes, counts, barons and bishop, for the fashion of keeping buffoons passed from sovereigns to corporations and private individuals. These testers were then brought into requisition during the Christmas season, and retained to brighten up the hall and kitchen with their witty sayings and practical jokes

which can no more be trusted to
cooperate with non-G Germans for
peace than can the Nazis. The
German people need be told that it
can hope for no easy way out of
the dilemma into which the lead
ership principle has brought it.
Certainly the remedy for t h e
German position is not a mere
change of the leadership.
There is then in this revolt no
indication that new elements are
coming to the top in Germany
with which the United Nations
might safely seek to negotiate
peace. The uprising is not re-
pudiation of III Q purpose o
which the Nazis have dedicated
themselves and the German
people. 1t IL a criticism of the
Nazi military plan, or at best the
political timing of the Nazi move
to make Germany master of its
neighbors.
It is not what Hitler attempted
but how he planned it and when
he tried it that repels the INTEL
lects of the leaders of this re-
volt. On such points the Ger
man people apparently have no
opinion; on the more basic point
of the morality of the plan for
German conquest, the people are
80 far silent.
1t is only fair to point out that

Ballot Printing
Another Problem
For Solution

Question of when ballots for
the general election on Nov. z
shall be printed is one perturbiDg
county and state election officials,
and should printing of ballots be
delayed until after S e p t. %.
when the registration closes, a
question exists as to whether bal
lots can be forwarded in ample
time for men and women in the
service to vote.
In previous years the prepara-
ton of ballots has been delayed
until after 80 days before a n
election. This was necessary as
independent candidates had un-
til a month before an election to
file.
Under revised statutes, indie.
pendent candidates and candi-
dates of minor parties now must
! file not later than 80 DAYS before
an election or by Aug. 8 this year.
This will permit earlier print
ing of ballots if the registration
obstacles can be overcome. 1t
was explained that no county
| clerk will be in a position o
know how many ballots to order
until after the registration closes.
Secretary of State Sam Mitch.
ell recently asked Interpretation
of the statutes from the attorney
general. Mitchells quest o n
largely applied to the necessity
| o r the time within which the
secretary of state must certify
the names of successful candi
dates to the county clerks. This
is necessary before ballots can be
printed.
The attorney general ru d
that it was not necessary for the
secretary of state to telegraph
the county clerks within "a hours
after completion of the state can
vass of primary election returns
the results, but that the results
might be made known by mail.
This, however, does not settle
the matter of printing ballots.

GERMANS REVOLVING

This noteworthy: tn e first
newssize revolt against the Nazi
regime came not from the Ger
man people but from the officer
caste. 1t came not from the bot
