ITU Official Defends
Union Bogus.Ad Rule
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A represent
ative of the AFL international
Typographical Union told National
Labor Relations Board hearing yes
terday that a union rule on setting
up bogus" advertising was a mo
rale builder" that provided job Sc
curity.
The rule, which the publishers
have criticized as "featherbedding," !"
requires that newspaper reset in
its own composing room advertise
ments submitted in matrix (ready-
made form by advertisers.
Joe Rhoden, Scale Committee
chairman of the AFL Chicago Typo
graphical Union, Local 16, whose
members are on strike against six
Chicago daily newspapers, said:
THE rule is a morale builder be-
cause it keeps the men busy. If it
wasn't for that they might be in
groups in slack periods shooting
craps or engaging in some other
nonproductive capacity
The NLRB is hearing charges it
brought against the ITU and the
CTU or engaging in unfair labor
practices In violation of the Taft
Hartley law.
Mr.. Rhoden said he believed that
II the union relaxed its rule, the
publishers would set up a central
advertising room where mats could
be distributed to all newspapers.

The union officials deny they are

They say it Is simply q matter of
housing and convenience, pointing
out that at least half Of its member

ployes. many Of them in New York

But there isn't much doubt that,
by moving to New York, UPWA will
escape a great deal of the local
criticism that. has been directed at
the union. There also have been
reports that UPWA intends to con-
centrate mainly on non-Federal
public workers as potential members

by the union.

sailor was sitting there, and then
Miss Horner came out.

terical and pretty mad at being
found In the room with the sailor,
but then she calmed down.
"She seemed like a very nice kid.
She looks and acts lot older than
her IA years, though"
The inspectors reported both JAG
queline and Wells said their relations
had been purely platonic and offered
to submit to medical tests to prove
it.
They seemed like nice kids"
Shelley added. They probably
were telling the truth.

ST. Laurent Expected
To Be Successor 10
Prime Minister Kinu
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

OTTAWA, Jan. 21.-Prime
Minister William L. Mackenzie
King says he wants to retire as
leader Of Canada's dominant
Liberal Party, and thus-accord-
Ing to Dominion tradition-as
Prime Minister, as soon as the
party names his successor.
In an address before the National
Liberal Federation's Advisory Coun-
Gil last night, he asked that a Liberal
convention be summoned next sum-
mer to select his successor as the
party's boss. :
Political circles interpreted the
73-year-old Prime Minister'S care
fully qualified remarks to mean
that he wants to get out of Office
and politics this year, but that he
would consent to being drafted if
the country needs him further.
st. Laurent May Get Past.
Mr.. King, who has been in Office
for all but 51a years since December
20, 1921, would by April 20, 1913
surpass the empire record for length
of Prime Ministerial service, set by
Robert Walpole Of Britain, who
served for 1873 days early in the
18th century as head of Britain's
government.
Informed political sources predict
ed that Louis st. Laurent, 66-year-
old Minister of External Affairs
would be chosen to succeed Mr..
King, both to the party leadership
and the Prime Minister'S post.
Under the Canadian political sys-
tenn it has been traditional for the
same man to hold leadership ot
the party in power and the post OF
Prime Minister.
Mr.. King succeeded the late Sir
Wilfred Laurier as Liberal leader in
1919 and first became Prime Min
lister in December, 1921, serving until
1880 with the exception of the sum-
ner of 1925.
In 1880 he was defeated by r. B
Bennett, Conservative, and for the
next five years headed the liberal
opposition. In October, 1885. he
was returned to Office with the great
est majority any party ever had in
the Canadian Parliament. He was
reelected in 1910 and again in 1945
but with lesser majorities.
Denounces Communism.
In his address last night, Mr.. King
declared that communism aims at
world conquest by force"
Communism is no less tyranny
than Naziism," he said. Its pat
terms of procedure are similar but
they go further. They seek to create
unrest in all quarters of the globe
and, by devious underground and
underhand methods, to penetrate
and undermine established social
systems of many lands.
$50 long as Communism remains
as a menace to free world 1t Is
vital to the defense of freedom tc
maintain a preponderance of mill
tary strength on the side of free
dom and to insure that degree Of
unity among nations which vii,
insure that they cannot be defeated
and destroyed one by one"

Found Fellow Traveller.
While the first indication that the
missing prodigy was in San Fran
cisco came from the tavern owner
who thought he recognized her from
a picture, the inspectors then located
Jean Costello, %, night club pho
tographer who came to San Fran
cisco from Los Angeles last Wednes-
day on the same bus with JAG
queline.
Miss Costello told the inspectors
she met Jacqueline on the bus, had
not seen her before, but was able
to tell them a number of places the
girl had been.
After checking several taverns
and hotels, they finally located her
at the hotel.
Inspectors Merrill and Shelley
both said they found no indication
that the girl had been drinking or
disorderly.
Los Angeles police already had
determined that she had taken a
bus as far north as Modesto, but
had lost the trail there. .-,4, n,...

en- route to Bethlehem the Wise Men
crossed the path of a little shep-
herdess named Madelon. Enrap-
tured at the wondrous tale about
the birth Of Christ which they re-
lated, she was heartbrolsen because
she had no gift to offer.
While she was crying she detected
a sweet-smelling aroma and looked
up. Standing next to her was an
angel who inquired the reason for
her sadness. Madelon explained that
while she wanted to pay homage
to the newly-born Babe, she didn't
even have a single, beautiful flower
such as grew in the fields in the
summer to give Him. The angel
waved her arm and stunning bunch
of gorgeous, snowy white Christmas
roses appeared.
Madelon gathered her precious
gift m her arms and hurried off to
Bethlehem where the Wise Men had
gone. After the Wise Mems offerings
of gold, frankincense and myrrh,
she humbly preferred her flowers to
the tiny Infant, who stretched out
a hand to touch the roses. His
fingers lightly brushed the immacu-
late petals and Immediately they
changed to a delicate pink.

significant to note that two of the
plants mentioned, box and bay, are
mentioned in Holy Scriptures as
thriving on the mountains of Le-
banon in the Holy Land.
Because of its symmetrical leaves,
bay has been used for design
throughout the ages. The Greeks
used it on their coins and the Ro-
mans, too, favored it as beautiful
show piece. Today bay shrubbery
graces the entrances to many Amer
lean homes at yuletide.

garded cedar as a symbor 81 endur-
ance, strength, life and eternity.
Recognized by its characteristic,
pleasant aroma, cedar also was an
emblem of purity because its tree
tops were frequently covered with
snow during a large part of the year.
An old-time favorite of sailors
who visited Mediterranean ports was
Rosemary because of the aromatic
perfume the plant yielded. Familiar
to most Americans as struggling
hedge plant, Rosemary droops in
massive festoons II feet long in its
native Italy.
Legend has it that the flowers were
colorless until the Blessed Virgin,
during the flight into Egypt, hung
the clothes of Jesus on Rosemary
bushes to dry. Thereafter, Rose
mary bushes blossomed forth with
their sparkling blue flowers.
The Hawthorn bush with its white
or red flowers originally was the
May tree of the Old World. Pecu-
liarly, the bush never blooms in
May. According to historians, JOS
eph of Arimathea went to England
and on the completion of his pill
grinage at the Abbey of Glaston-
bury he pushed his staff into the
ground where it burst forth leaves
and flowers. Since then the Haw-
thorn bush always flowers at Christ
mastide, which is out of it's regu-
lar season.

MANY unusual and picturesque
AVA tales have been told about the
modern usage of Christmas flowers.
Although they are legendary, the
carefully spun bits of folklore pro-
vide a colorful background for pres
ent day flower decorations which
are used during the Christmas sea-
son.
Holly, with its red berries, dark
green leaves and needle-like spikes
is hght-hearted symbol of friend
ship and good will when December
arrives. According to legend, though,
holly originally was used as an in
strument of cruelty. The crown of
thorns which Christ wore was fash
foned from holly. Prior to the Cruel
fixion the plant bore white berries
but after the Crucifxion the berries
turned bloody crimson. Mistletoe,
close associate of holly, is said to
have been the wood from which
Christ's cross was made.
One of the most beautiful legends
woven around Christmas flowers
