Congress In DiscOrd With President Truman

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-(P)- President Truman's relations with Congress took on new air of ten sion, particularly among Southern Democrats. One of the latter, Rep. Gibson of Georgia, declared an "open break" now exists. Others who preferred not to be quoted directly, echoed his remarks.
 The note of discord is prompted by three White House develop ments yesterday. One-Truman's news conference assertion that he would express himself forcibly soon on legislation calling for re- turning the U. s. Employment Service to the States within a hun dred days. Several Congressmen interpreted this as meaning either veto, or another blast at Con- gress was in the offing.
 The release of letters of key law makers, which the President termed as unacceptable" the House substitute so-called full employment" bill which the Sen ate passed.
 Three-The issuance of an or der authorizing the fair employ ment practice committee to inves- tigate the report on employment practices in private industry un- til June 30.

COMMUNITY XMAS TREE TONIGHT
Nome Hi North Starr


 For many years it has been the custom in our little city of Nome to have what is called a Com munity Christmas Tree"
 This great event is looked for ward to by both young and old. To the younger set it means a stock ing full of goodies" such as candy, fruit and nuts. To the little older group of children it means hard work, as most of the school children take part in the program. It also adds many gray hairs to the heads of our teachers. They spend days and months getting ready for the program, and by the time it is over they all are pretty we'll tired out
 The funds for this program are received from the different places of business and also the people in town. Enough money is raised us- ually to purchase a large tree and also the "goodies" that are put in the stockings.
 This year over one thousand dollars was raised among the merchants and townspeople for this worthy cause.
 The Nome Public School has made the stockings for the last few years. It is not a hard job, but it takes last of time and there are great many stockings to sew.
 This year there are several com mittees to take care of all the things that must be taken care of, such as the Good Cheer Commit tee, Entertainment Committee and Christmas Baskets. This year the Good Cheer Committee is being taken care of by our many preach CTS and several others. The enter tainment is being handled by both the Territorial and Native Schools
 This year our Commu n y Christmas Tree should be a great success, as we haven't been able to have it for the last two years. Last year we were unable to have it because of the terrible diph- theria epidemic.

Death Caused By Neck Being Broken In Auto Accident

HEIDELBERG, Dec. 21-(P)- General Patton, who led the vic torious United States Third Army from the beaches of Normandy to Czechoslovakia, died at $50 pm., dozen days after his neck was broken in a traffic accident. The generals stout fighting heart weakened during the day from the effects of pulmonary compli- cations which beset his apparent recovery from a broken neck and partial paralysis. Mrs. Patton was with him at the time of his death. The general observed his sixtieth birthday on November eleventh.
 General George Smith Patton, Jr.-"Old Blood and Cuts" to his men-regarded his job as winning battles.
 He first caught popular fancy as the dashing, roaring, hell-for- leather old cavalryman, with two pearl handled pictols on his hips, who led the United States forces in the conquest of western Tunisia in World War II.
 Then, commanding the Ameri- can 7th Army that invaded Sicily. Patton leaped into the surf from landing barge and waded ashore to assume personal leadership in the bitter fighting against German tank units. Keep punching" read his order of the day. God is with us.' He achieved a brilliant suc- cess. Many military men believed Sicily never would have been con- quered in 38 days had it not been for Patton's driving force.
 Go forward - always go for ward" He drilled that doctrine into his officers. He insisted that they be as disdainful of death as he and that they go into battle with their men. Taking greater risks than his men, he said, was "the privilege of an officer" His grandfather was killed in battle and Patton indicated he would not mind such an end for himself.
