Santa Claus also has been hon

Of Santa Claus, Ind, contains an
awesome note in keeping with
Christmas Eve.
The government had turned down
the request of little settlement in
southern Indiana 100 years ago be-
cause an older town in the state
bore the same name Of Santa Fe.
AS the villagers gathered in cele-
bration of Christmas Eve, they pom
dered a new name, finding each
suggestion unsuitable as they
turned it over in their minds in
order to select the right one.
In the midst of their delibera-
tons, a binding light was seen out
side. Rushing to the window, they
saw a flaming star crash against a
distant hill. leaving crater that
still can be seen today.
Awed by the spectacle, the resi-

the event as a special omen,' end
they gave their community the
name of Santa Claus to commend

430, 900 more students than last year
will be handled by higher education
institutions.
In the Washington area, George

Party Leaders Back
Choice Of McGrath,
Despite Opposition
by The Asseeiesed Press

A sampling of Democratic Ma

hind Senator McGrath of Rhode
Island today in the face Of some
expressed dissatisfaction with his
apparent designation as the party's
next chairman.
A campaign on behalf of Federal
Court Judge James j. McGranery
OF Philadelphia for the chairman
ship developed over the week end,
after Robert E. Hannegan's an
nouncement that he will step down
because Of Ill health.
But 1t ran head-on into a big
obstacle: The tradition that a Presi-
dent. as titular leader OF his party,
has the right to choose his own
chairman and that the committee
ratifies his choice.
In Providence Senator McGrath
told reporters he was steering clear
OF political issues until he had a
chance to talk with President Tru-
man. He said he would return to
Washington either tonight or to-
morrow morning.
The pledge to campaign for
Judge McGranery when the COM
mittee meets here October 20 to
select new chieftain came from
John Cahill, Democratic State
chairman for Massachusetts,,
MIR. Cahill said he has a personal
opposition to Senator McGrath,
whom he described as IAN able, ac-
tive and militant Democrat" but
he declared:
The party will need in its new
national chairman a 24-hour "a
day man. one who will be able to
travel from State to State, a full
time man."
Mr.. McGrath, who said he will
proceed on the theory that my
task will be to re-elect President
Truman" announced he will retain
his seat In the Senate and serve as
party chairman without pay.
A cross-section of the National
Committee which could be reached
