One of the best ones we have
heard happened today in Roa-
noke Rapids when Santa asked a
certain little boy what he wanted
for Christmas. For obvious
reason the boys name can not
be published so we will call him
John. His parents had to insist
before he finally reluctantly
went to call on Santa.
When Santa asked his question
John replied with the question,
Are you the same Santa who
was here last year?"
"Oh yes assured Santa, I am
the same Santa last year, this
year and will be for all the years
to come"
well then, why didn't you
bring the things you promised
me last year"

May Be Using Revolt
las Incident for War
By the Assoejotsd Press

Charges that the Bogota revolu.
ton was a South American Pear!
Harbor" and that Secretary Of State
Marshall may have been counting
on it as an incident" to bring war
were hurled late yesterday by two
Republican members Of Congress.
Their statements came as an
aftermath to disclosures that the
State Department received many
advance warnings that Communists
were planning trouble in the Colon
bian capital. One message, saying
Gen. Marshall and others might be
molested, apparently never reached
the department.
| Representative Brown, Republi-
can, of Ohio said Congress is shocked
by "the belated disclosure of South
American Pearl Harbor, so close to
the Panama Canal" He declared
that the subcommittee which he
heads will delve deeper into the
question of American intelligence
reports.
Hoffman Statement Quoted.
And Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican, of Michigan demanded in
statement:
did Secretary Marshall know
what was about to happen?
did he deliberately endanger the
safety and lives of Americans or
was he looking for an Incl
dent to involve us in war-or speed
up the campaign for conscription
and military training?"
The State Department said
Thursday night that Gen. Marshall
was warned of trouble brewing in
Bogota but went ahead to the Inter-
American Conferenre rather than
knuckle under to "a handful of
Communists.
Earlier, the head of the Central
Intelligence Agency, Rear Admiral
r. H. Hillenkoetter, said the CIA
withheld-on the advice of State
Department official in Bogota-one
warming that Americans going there
might be molested. The official was
quoted as saying it was unnecessary
to alarm the delegates, because the
Bogota police could take care of the
situation.
Security Involved.
The State Department described
this official as a very Junior en-
ploye' and said it was inconceivable

tf1as - would have Jurisdiction over
whether such message should be
sent.
Mr.. Brown said "the security Of
the Nation is involved" If there is
State Department censorship of CIA
dispatches. He and Mr.. Hoffman
both said new legislation might be
needed to prevent this from hap
pening.
"As in the original Pearl Har-
bor," Mr.. Brown said, "the back
ground of intrigue, planning and
enemy infiltration are disclosed to
the American people long after the
event-and then only through for
NAL congressional inquiry"
Mr.. Hoffman said Gen. Marshall
himself docs not seem to have been
in the place of danger" in Colom-
bia, alth1lgh some other Americans
were. "It is possible" he declared,
that Secretary Marshall wished to
defy the Communists, risk the Gre
alton of an incident and of a war
which mlght IouoW.
Truman Statement Cited.
Mr.. Hoffman also called atten-
ton to President Truman's state
ment Thursday that he didn't know
anybody was going to get shot in
Bogota. Yet the CIA, Mr.. Hoff-
man said, was created to keep the
President and other top officials in
formed on conditions abroad.
State Department Press Of1cer
Lincoln White disclosed, meanwhile,
that there was a CLOSE similarity
between a Communist handbill cir
culated in Colombia and newspaper
attacks on the United States IN
Soviet dominated Romania.
The handbill was distributed after
the Bogota uprising. The Ameri-
can Embassy at Bogota reported it
assailed inter-American unity and
described other American countries
as "lackeys" of the United States.
Mr.. White read to news confer
ence an official report quoting from
the Romanian Army newspaper, "A
Glasul Armati."
This journal said that eruption
of the Bogota volcano was not an
isolated coincident. Similar volca-
