Birmingham Rezones Area
For Negro Residences
BY the Associated Press


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. T.
Amid shouts that there always
will be segregation in Birmingham
and the South, the,rcity commits
sion yesterday rezoned more than
80 acres for Negro homes.
The acreage is in the disputed
North Smithf1eld area where five
Negro homes have been dynamited
since last March.
The commission session was
highlighted by an angry exchange
between a commissioner and a
Birmingham official of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Commissioner Eugene Connor
told A. C. Maclin, president of the
Birmingham branch Of the
NAACP, that "as long as you live
and as long as Connor lives. there
will be segregation in Birming-
ham and the South" Mr.. Maclin
demanded that all racial zoning
be abolished in the city.
The houses which have been
dynamited are in a section zoned
for whites only and were not af-
fected by the new ordinance.
The commission took no action
on a proposed 150-foot buffer
strip between the white and Negro
area. The commissioners said
they planned to vote in the near
future to rezone this strip from
white to Negro occupancy.

In the course of that investiga-

No Full Inquiry Made.
Mr.. Worth informed the House
committee last month that 1t
Ingram was one of several persons
from whom he obtained informa-
ton that subsequently went into
the memorandum. He said none
of the persons, however, had any
thing to do with preparing the

After Admiral Inglis had ex-

he was asked if his Office had ever

Mr.. Worth. He replied that no
such investigation was made be-
cause it was not normal pro-

became chief assistant to John
Nicholas Brown. then Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy for Air.
Capt. Wood showed the court a
request from MIR. Brown at that
time that Mr.. Worth be designated
a top security control officer in his
Office.
Another witness, Comdr. w. E
Sweeney, now on the staff of the
commander in chief of the Allan
tic Fleet, testified that most OF
three sections of the Worth doc
ument were based on a memoran-
dunn he gave Mr.. Worth, and on
a document whose contents were

sections dealt with prospects OF

Comdr. Sweeney formerly was a

along with Mr.. Worth.
"I knew of no reason why he
wanted this memorandum from
me except possibly as background

said.
Capt. David L. Macdonald, aide

Works Projects
BY the Assoeietsd Press

Chairman Chavez Of the Senate
Public Works Committee wants to
take an inventory Of the Nations
possible public works projects.
He will introduce a bill tomor-
row. he told reporters. to provide
for such a listing to be made avail
able to the Senate by next Janu-
ary /.
The measure will direct Federal
agencies to catalog all projects
which have been authorised but
not appropriated for and those
whieh have not been considered
economically feasible but possibly
could qualify under other circunl-
stances.
Preferable TO Leaf Raking.
"There are several billions In
public works projects in the form
Of dams and parks and buildings
unaccounted for in the various
Government agencies" he said,
"and we want to find out Just
what they are and where they
are
There are many worth while
projects buried in 4 drawer which
were not found economically feas-
ible by a small Margin" he said.
"and I am particularly interested
In digging these out"
There are projects which tan
contribute to the local and nation
al welfare very materially, and In
any public works program these
might we'll get attention over any
leaf-raking projects.
Not Feasible Normally.
Many of these projects have
been passed over as not feasible
under normal standards, but
think that a national emergency
will be sufficient weight to make
the margin one that will permit
construction.
The bill. he added, will be aimed
particularly at the Departments

XMAS" IS OKEH FOR FERMENTATION

While many people froWn on the use of Xmas" for Christmas, this abbreviation has an authentic basis in history.
 The "X" is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ. Christian scholars of the middle ages are said in their writings to have ab- breviated the spelling of the Ma tivity celebration into X-mass or simply Xmas. In the same way "Xn" was used for Christian and "Xty" for Christianity.
 In the catacombs of ancient Rome x is often found to stand for Christ. The earliest Christian artists, when making a representa- tion of the Trinity, would place either a cross or x beside the Father and the Holy Ghost.

Origins of the
 Christmas Tree

Legends dealing with the orig in of the use of the Christmas tree go as far back as the Tenth century when George Jacob, the Ar b a n geographer, declared that all of the trees in the forest blossomed and bore fruit the night of our Lords Nativity.
 It is believed that Jacobs sto- ry might have led to the later GUS tom of hanging apples and fruits on the evergreen tree, and, as is the habit in certain parts of Eur ope, of using a blossoming cherry sapling in the home as Christ

door.


 The forester opened the door to behold a little child shivering on the steps. Touched by the child's cold and apparent exhaus- ton, the forester took him in, and he was welcomed by the whole family and warmed and fed. La ter, the forester's son, Hans, gave up his bed to the little child.
 In the morning, the family was awakened by the singing of a choir of angels, and looking at their little guest saw him standing transfigured in their midst. They recognized him as the Christ child. As the Lord Jesus bade the family farewell, He broke off a branch from fir tree, set it in the earth and said, Behold, I have gladly received your kind gifts and this is my gift to you. Henceforth, this tree shall always bear its fruits at Christmas time and you shall always have abund- ance."
 The first community Christmas tree was set up in Paris, France, in 1840, but was not popularly accepted throughout the world until the advent of electricity, when the lighting could be stabi- lized and proper effect given to its display.

 One August Imgart introduced the Christmas tree to America 100 years ago in Wooster, Ohio, and, in so doing, preserved the tradi- ton that had been handed down. In 1851, Rev. Henry C. SchWan, pastor of Zion Lutheran church in Cleveland, Ohio, put up the first Christmas tree in a church in this country, for which he and his parishioners were severely de- nounced by other congregations.
 One of the most beautiful leg ends concering the Christmas tree is the ancient tale dealing with the forester and his household, who had just gathered round the fireside on Christmas Eve when they heard a timid knock on the

Psychoneurotic Has Failed to Make
Adjustment to Life
By james w. Borton, M. D.


and to a great variety of physical
complaints for which there is no
organic basis or cause" Some
times the symptoms are limited
to one region, but they are more
likely to be in a number of
regions-heart, stomach. intes-
tines, head. joints-and change
often from one region or organ to
another. Some of the symptoms
pass away quickly. others seem
to remain in the one region or
organ. While some neurotics have
a woebegone expression others as
sumo the attitude of being in
different to their sufferings.
Unfortunately for the physician.
many neurotics are above the
average in intelligence. yet fail
to understand how their inner
mechanisms convert disappoint-
ments and Illustrations into dis
tufDlng pnySlcal arrangements.
Most physicians blame neurosis
on parents who allowed the
youngster to complain of illness
when he was forbidden to do
something he wanted or hidden to
do something he did not want to
do. Thus, when the child grows
up, he develops symptoms only
when overwhelmed by major
trials and reflections of life"
The treatment of the neurotic
is a thorough physical examina-
ton in case some physical all
ment is really present. If pres
ent, it is treated. Then follows
an estimate by the physician
as to the extent to which his
emotional disturbances are to
blame for his symptoms.
Evening star., 1949-12-18

In these days when all of us are
more or less upset for various
reasons, we can understand why
the nervous, emotional, anxious
individual is greatly upset. This
mental and emotional disturbance
affects the various organs and
processes of the body. so that this
type of individual is constantly
consulting his physician or many
physicians in an effort to be free
of these various symptoms. We
call this individual a neurotic.
A good definition of neurotlc
is given by DR.. Joseph L. Felter-
man, Cleveland, in the Merck re-
port.
1.-The psychoneurotic is one who
has failed to make an adjustment
to life. who is troubled by inner
conflicts of greater degree than
the average, and whose conflicts
lead to a tendency to unhappi-
ness, poor adjustment to others
