passed by Congress in June was
bringing about recovery in Western
Europe.
6. The cost of living. Through
part of the year, many prices went
up and UP. In the Nations kitch-
ems the story of Americas post
war imitation was perhaps the big
gest story Of 1948. But at the
years end commodity prices were
down from their peaks and econ-
omists were saying that perhaps
the boom had spent its force.
7. Communist advances in China.
Communism marched on in the
Orient, the Reds moving into Muk-
den in October to control all Of
Manchuria, and making big gains
elsewhere in China, SO that 1t was
necessary, in December, to proclaim
martial law in the Nationalist-held
area. Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek. head of the hard-pressed
Nationalists, appealed for American
aid. His wife raced to this country
to try to enlist support.
8. Mrs. Kasenkina's attempts to
stay in America. The Russian-born
schoolteacher did not want to re-
turn to her native land. When she
was detained against her will, she
said-in the Russian consulate In
New York, she leaped from win.

ton, she was taken to a hospital
outside Soviet jurisdiction. Her one
woman fight against government
made front-page headlines from
coast to coast. It also led to ex-
pulsion from the United States Of
the Soviet consul general.

form school who set an all-time

10. ANTI Communist Investigations.
Probings of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities produced
series of sensations during the
year. The greatest came in Deem
ber, when Whitaker Chambers pro-
duced top-secret documents allegdly
taken from the State Department.
Chambers involved Alger Hiss, who

AP Newsfsofvres Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The man
from Missouri, who had to be shown,
provided Americas newspapers with
their biggest story of 1948, accord
ing to results of poll of Associated
Press member editors.
The editors voted overwhelmingly
that Harry S. Truman'S spectacular
feat Of stumping the experts and
winning the presidential election
against almost all expectations was
the greatest single event of the year.
Second place in the poll, in which
top news executives from all Sec
tions of the country participated,
went to the battle of Berlin" in
which was symbolized the growing
deterioration of relations between
Soviet Russia and the West. An i'm
portant part Of this story was the
institution of the Berlin airlitf-the
unprecedented aerial ferrying Of
food and supplies into the Western
zones Of the German capital city
after the Russians set up blockade
OF the railways ana ROADS.
In order, the following stories also
won top ranking:
8. The birth on May IS of a new
nation-Israel-and the fight for
survival against the countries Of the
Arab League into which it was i'm
mediately plunged. Bloodshed in
Palestine was a continuing story
throughout the year.
4. Assassination of Mahatma Gan
dhi. India's man of peace who
had lived to see one of his dreams
realized when his country won in
dependence from Britain in l947,
was killed on his way to a prayer
meeting by a Mindu fanatic Janu-
ary 30. His death, fnourned the
world over, inspired India's Hindus
and Moslems to work together to
end their long and bloody feuds.
S. Congressional approval of the
Marshall Plan through appropria-
tions to get the European Recovery
Program under way. Assurances Of
American aid inspired the Western
democracies to keep up their resist
ance to Communist pressure. Re-
ports late this year indicated that

y nlted community SERVICES
Christmas Bureau today will wind
up Its annual task of helping
Washington residents play Santa
Claus to the needy.
Since December 8, the bureau,
directed by Mrs. Eva Berkenbilt, has
been engaged in steering Christmas
bounty to the places where 1t will
do the most good. It stopped taking
Christmas requests last Monday,
and since then has been completing
distribution details.
Without the help Of such CEN
tral agency, the average citizen
would be hard put to find, for in
stance, some one who needed an
especially built wheelchair for a
child Of 3 or 4.
Mrs. Berkenbilt, however, found
that the Children's Country Home,
a Community Chest agency for the
care of convalescent children, had
two children of that age for whom
1t had been renting regular wheel
chair.
Supplies Contract.
She put the agency in touch with
a man who had called In offering
the child's wheelchair.
Along with the usual requests for
and offers to donate food, clothing
and toys, the bureau receives many
which cali for ingenuity.
Yesterday a woman called and
asked whether children on Ellis Is
land were being taken care Of at
Christmas" Mrs. Berkenbilt said.
II finally talked to a man at the
Red Cross who assured me that vol
unteer groups in New York would
take care of any such children.
II called the woman back and
told her what he said. She felt
better"
Piano Placed.
When an offer Of a piano came
in, the bureau had to decide where
1t was needed the most. Southwest
Settlement House finally won out.
Frequent requests from groups
and individuals are for poor children
to be entertained at Christmas par
ties. One woman even asked for a

days. The bureau isn't exactly sold
on this one-day type Of bounty,
which often merely accentuates q
child's realization of his own pow
erty. But 1t does fill such requests
when possible. :.
The offer Of a doctor who wrote
to the bureau, however, provided
what would be treat for any child.
He proposed a party by the Inter-
national Brotherhood Of Magicians
for SO youngsters. The bureau put
him In touch with Barney Neigh
borhood House and later arranged
with him to provide entertainment
at Northwest Settlement House as
well.
Letters requesting Christmas gifts
ask mostly for shoes and clothing,
food and toys for children. One
mother asked for some apples for
my children" A child's letter said:
We've never tasted chicken or
turkey"
Check Avoids Duplication.
The bureau has to retain busi-
ness-like attitude. Through its con-
slant checking and contact with the
Social Service Exchange, which
keeps extensive records Of service
by social agencies, 1t frequently finds
one family has contacted several
sources of help. Sometimes three
or four letters from one person wind
up at the bureau.
