WAR MARKED
 PATHS LEAD
 TO MAN GER

BETHLEHEM, Dec. 24-tR--Rain, mud and grim reminders of re- cent war marked the Christmas Eve pilgrimage to Bethlehem, birth place of the Prince of Peace.
 There were two roads this time and two processions.
 Only a few would make this trip, ir comparison with the thousands who used to go in other times.
 Clergymen and pilgrims living in the Arab-held old city of Jerusalem were forced to follow the mired northern route to the ancient city. Delegates of the US, diplomats and a few other pilgrims travelled lyom the new part of Jerusalem, held by the Jews, over the southern Roman road.
 The dull sound of explosions could be heard as Jewish soldiers cleared wartime mines from their route. The road travels for few miles through Jewish-held territory to the Arab-Jewish demarkation line set up ty the armistice which stop ped the war between them. Heavily armed soldiers of both sides face each other there. and the pilgrims will be permitted to pass and re- turn only at certain hours.
 But inside Bethlehem the spirit of christmas-time worship will pre- vail. Mass will be celebrated in St. Catherine's church adjoining the Church of the Nativity, which is said to stand on the spot where Christ was born. Msgr. Gustave Testa, acting Roman Catholic patriarch. will conduct the service.
 In the courtyard of the Church oi the Nativity the Anglicans 'Episcopalians) will sing carols be- fore midnight tonight. Other Pro- testant sects are also planning observances

VASHINGTON-The astounding news that Russia had the secret of the atom was announced so sud- denly and with no advance build up, that few people know of the strenuous backstage debate which took place as to whether the news should be released at all.
 However, here is the inside story of what happened.
 News that Russia had exploded the atom was first turned over to President Truman by Dr. Vannevar Bush, head of the National Re- search Council Most exciting and distrurbing to the scientists was the enormity of the Soviet blast. Seis- mographic repercussions were far greater than those from an ordin- ary atomic bomb explosion. This startling fact has led some atomic experts to believe that Russia's entire stockpile of bombs might have blown up accidentally. If this isn't true, then Russia has a bomb much larger than that set off at Hiroshima.
 When the news first reached Truman, he called in Secretary of Defense Johnson, Undersecretary Stephen Early and Secretary of State Dean Acheson-Separately. Acheson, who was tied up in New York with the United Nations, said he would have to check with the British and the Canadians before

SEARCH TO BE MADE
FOR UNKNOWN T.B. CASES

Announcement was made to-
day by Mr.. John D. Luce, Vice
President of the Lake County
tuberculosis Association, that
a city wide search for unknown
cases of tuberculosis will be
held in Zion from March %
to April 1. Local organizations
are backing the program which
is made possible by the Christ
mas Seal Mobile Chest X-ray
Unit owned and operated by
the tuberculosis association.
Approximately ten persons
in Zion are estimated to have
tuberculosis without even
knowing they are sick, because
this contagious disease has no
outward symptoms in it's early
stages when treatment can be
most easily applied. These per-
sons can spread the disease to
anyone" Luce pointed out, ''be-
cause tuberculosis knows no
bounds of class, race or reli-
gious distinction. The only way
to find these unknown cases is
to X-ray everyone, age Is and
over including those who think
they are perfectly healthy
1--WE hope every adult in the
community will participate in
this program of tuberculosis
control. Hours of operation and
location of the unit will be an
nounced at a later date" Luce
concluded.
