BETHLEHEM, Dec. 25.-This
years traditional Christmas cere-
mony in Bethlehem, where Christ
was born, ended today in strange
atmosphere of war and peace.
Inside the hallowed Church Of
the Nativity devout Christians
prayed for peace. In the adjoining
chapels, Arab troops moved about
with rifles on their shoulders.
The colorful Christmas Eve pill
grimage from Jerusalem to Bethle-
hem was the smallest in many gen.
erations. At midnight, when the
service began, probably no more
than 200 Christians were inside the
church.
The reason, of course, was the
current Arab-Jewish war which
f1ared up anew in the Holy Land
as Christmas approached.
In other years, the pilgrims set
out from Jerusalem's old walled city
and travelled 6 miles to Bethlehem
over the winding road used by Mary
and Joseph. This year war created
detour on the sacred road and
made the distance twice as great.
Special passes were required for
those who Joined the procession as
it moved over a roundabout siege
road. One pass was issued by the
army of Israel, the other by Trans
Jordan's Arab Legion. The route

But a cold winter has come in

The first batch of clothing-12O

Bethlehem Pilgrimage to 200

lines of armies which, in that Sec

In Bethlehem, Arab tanks mount

Soldiers of Egypt, Iraq and Trans
Jordan had their guns at the ready

four miles away.
1t. all added up to the quietest
Christmas in years for Bethlehem
Gone was the light-hearted gayety
that in other years was mixed with
devoutness.
For the first time in 80 years
the troops of Christian England
were not present to keep the Christ
mas peace in Bethlehem. Britain
gave up her mandate over Palestine
last spring and the troops were
called home.
In their stead were American
French and Belgian truce observers
on a United Nations assignment
to restore peace to this strife-torn
land. And with mixed Arab troops
on guard. Christendom's greatest
event was commemorated under the
protecting guns of a Moslem king
Abdullah Of Trans Jordan. For the
first time, no Jews made the pill
grimage.
Inside the church, heavily scented
with incense, were colorfully dressed
soldiers, civilians and clerics. Among
them were yellow-turbaned Suda-
nese and Arab warriors in their
flowing red and white headdresses
Evening star., 1948-12-26

There were women descendants of
the Crusaders In their starched
white conical hats, and diplomats
in full dress. Scattered among the
worshippers were peasants and
scholars, correspondents and priests.
Outside the town was dark for
Bethlehem was without electricity
this Christmas. The basilica of the
church was lit by candles, but the
Arab Legion provided power from
It's own small generating plant
to give light to the Church of st.
Catherine's which adjoins the
Church of the Nativity. The Legion
also saw to it that a light hung over
the Holy Grotto where the image Of
the Christ-child was placed in the
manger.
Bethlehem has changed little de-
spite the war. Fewer shops are
selling olivewood rosaries and bibles
bound in mother of pearl.
When the bells had tolled the ar
rival of Christmas and the long mass
had ended, the Pilgrims set out
again over the hilly and difficult
route back to Jerusalem.
Private Arab sources said Egyptian
troops controlled sections of the
main road and because of their un-
certain disposition in recent days,
the Arab Legion commander in
Jerusalem decided not to risk pos
sible incidents by allowing Chris
tians to pass through the Egyptian
lines.
Instead, the Pilgrims travelled the
tricky siege road which the Arab
Legion had carved out of the rocky
hillsides. They passed tenting
grounds of nomad Arab families and
tiny, stone-hut villages along an
old camel trail, The trip took two
Evening star., 1948-12-26

hours instead of the usual half-hour
professional trip over the main
highway.
When the pilgrimage started for
Bethlehem, it passed the Garden Of
Gethsemane, skirted the foot Of the
Mount of Olives, and then wound
its way into the stony hills through
Arab-held territory.
There were roadblocks at the Arab
and Jewish front lines outside Je-
rusalem which slowed down the pro-
cession. The pilgrims passed through
200 yards of no-man's land where
Jewish and Arab soldiers at gun
point were in easy sight of each
other.
But through all the tenseness of
dormant war and shaky peace Arabs
and Jews alike waved to the pill
grims as they passed and shouted
to them: Merry Christmas"

in full day of writing. At that
rate, it would take SO days to COM

ten copies would therefore take
about 500 days, and the bet was for
a year."
Thatcher laughed softly, remem-
bering.
81 realized that this was an ideal
job for the purpose. It required no
technical skill neither of us had, and
there was good chance that Phillip
Crasor couldn't do it. I didn't want
to lose $50,OOO any more than he
wanted to lose the five. Phillip
hadn't stuck at anything since he
came out of the army, and I figured
he'd drop out within a few weeks
at the most. Then, I'd return his
money and teach him a lesson he
wouldn't forget about betting. And
there was a very good chance that,
after he learned what the job was
to be, he'd drop the whole thing
and agree to call the bet off. That
would have been fine with me-

GIVE YOURSELF TO A CHAIR

GIVE YOURSELF TO A CHAIR
A friend of the late William
James, greatest psychologist of his
day, asked the noted man if he
would mind giving a few rules for
the improvement of personality.
''One rule I will give you," re-
sponded Dr. James, "a simple rule
but so important. The rule is this:
Learn to give yourself up to'a chair
at least once each day."
Mystified, the inquirer asked what
DR.. James meant when he said
'give yourself up to a chair
Practice conscious relaxation"
he was told. "Relax every day.
Relaxation, particularly the ease
and restfulness associated with
utter relaxation. Is one of the best
aids know in developing .
CHARMING personality"
How often one sees these futile
run-arounds, men and women who
are busy from morning till night,
who never relax. who dash from
one thing to another. who fidget and
fume, who talk rapidly, who burn
up energy and tire themselves and
everyone else out by their fruitless
display Of waste motion And how
rarely one finds the composed, re-
laxed personality of power.
DR.. James advice was, of course,
purely physical-all you had to do
was to give yourself up to the chair,
relax utterly, let your body sag
where 1t would. But there is al
ways subtle and marked relation
ship between mind and body. And
the purpose of his counsel was to
let your mental moods take their
tone from your physical department.
What mental moSd can you ex-
pect if you are always physically
tense?" he inquired.
