Santa Claus

DdHid GlduS
 Santa Claus is again stirring up controversy A socologist Prof Ivan E. McDougle of Boucher Col lege says the Santa Claus myth has lived too long in terms of child psychology. and parents should sub stue democratic philosophy for it. His idea seems to be that children should learn to get along their own instead of passing the fufment of their dreams on whte-whskered sprite who will come down the chimney. But Dr. George Preston Maryland commis- sioner of mental hygiene, insists Santa is means of teaching children kindness, generosity and honesty.
 In the past Santa has oeen attacked for being German possibly even Nazn a false face, cyco- phant of the rich, pauperizer of the poor, bour geose Lady Bountiful breeder of neuroses, carrier of germs and disturber of the peace His reality has been argued in every nursery and every playground and not even the letter Virginia has definitely established his status But his vitality is such that he will probably continue to be assaied and questioned for decades. Even atomic energy is not likely to vaporize him.
 It is not question of getting rid of Santa Claus Gor that will never be done) but rather of keeping him in step with the times. That does not mean supplying him with sack of mechanical toys and substituting hecopter for reindeer In fact, Santas toys could well be of a simpler, more primitive type that would call forth initiative from the children who use them. What Santa Claus needs is new personification He has come symboze to great extent electtis toy trains and mink coats-the gimme" spirit of materialisln Also, his mask has been assumed by those who would parade their own largesse Even worse, he has become the emblem of the easy mark ultranationalstic Congressman have posed in his whiskers every time this Nation has been asked to perform an international obligation
 Both Professor McDouge and Dr. Preston, for all their disagreement. suggest synthess for the 1945 Santa Clau Certainly this is time for gimme Christmas in America Nor it is time to encourage effortless reliance miracles. If Santa Claus is what make him, it would seem that this Christmas would have the good to assign him the part of fostering the spirit of generosity and of selfreiant ingenuity. In such role he would be a valuable citizen, myth myth.

ris and has been tryIug to make up in noise for wnst Norris had in statesmanship. However, Senator George Wilson of Iowa another Republican. had his name read into the journal of the committee few minutes before Wherry and. there fore, outranks him as a member of the small business committee. Ac- tually, both men were elected to the Senate simultaneously, but Wherry took the oath of office ahead cl Wilson, though Wilson be- came a member Of the small busi- ness committee ahead of Winery.
 Thus, it is nip and tuck as to which should get the chairman ship.
 However, there is another com plication. Wherry has a secret am bition to be vice-presidential can didate on the Republican ticket in l949. He also figures that the small business chairmanship would be a big publicity -builder-up for that ambition.
 Meanwhile, Senator Taft Of Ohio, who also has well-known ideas about the presidency in 1948, is none too enthusiastic about Wherry as a running mate And Taft may have something to say about who will chairman what committee.
 Those are some of the how-many- angels -can-stand on-the point - of-a-needle problems which worry the august Senators while the plight ol small business and small newspapers remains on the side lines

MAYOR KELLY COLLECTS

Although the Democrats have tried to live down the widespread belief that they are dominated by big city machine bosses. here is one story that can't be laughed off
 The Democratic National Com mittee sent checks to a number of Congressional candidates through cut the country to help them in last months election campaign. One was a check for S100O to Repre- sentative Alexander Resa, liberal Chicagoan. Democratic National Treasurer George Killion made the check out to Resa, but sent it di- rectly to Mayor Ed Kelly, boss of the Chicago Democrats.
 When Kelly received it, he phon- ed Resa and told him to come down to his office Kelly then showed him the check and said:
 You know, the County Commit tee here is badly in need of money. Don't you think you could turn that over to us?"
 Resa replied that he had person. ally contributed s2,0O0 two years ago and S2,O00 this year to the county machine and his district or ganization He said he was not 9 rich man and needed the S1,000 for heavy campaign expenses. But Kelly insisted Resa endorse the check over to him for the County Committee.
 Knowing that he could not afford to buck the Kelly machine just be- fore election, Resa endorsed the check and left it on Kellys desk. He later lost his House seat-by a very slim margin.
