Ours is a tripartite form Of
government with its balance of
power among the legislative. the
judiciary and the executive. The
Capitol and the Supreme Court
ARE visited by the millions who
come to Washington. but the
mecca of the tourist, the must
on every itinerary, is the White
House. where one man often has
the power and responsibility of
decision.
This has not always been IN
derstood by the legislators, sew
eral of whom suggested that a
new house be built for the Presi-
dent and that the Old White
House be preserved merely as a
museum. They did not under
stand that without a President in
residence the thrill that comes
to every American when he first
sees 1t would be gone.
Shocked by Cost.
The legislators were under
standably shocked by the cost of
the reconstruction they were asked
to authorize. They were told by
the estimators. whose frankness
was commendable. that it would
cost much less to duplicate the
building than to rebuild it from
within In the end the appro-
priation went through.
The crowd last night, even the
musicians and invited guests al
lowed within the fence, got hard
lily an inkling of the size of the
job going on in rebuilding the
structure.

That Christmas Recalled.
Mr.. Churchill tells about that
Christmas visit at the White House
in the third volume OF his war
memoirs-how the President al
ways punctiliously mixed the
cocktails and how Mr.. Churchill
always made point of wheeling
the President in his chair to the
elevator as a mark of respect:
how they attended Christmas serv-
ices at Foundry Methodist Church,
where Mr.. Churchill for the first
time heard the hymn. 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem"
That Christmas was the only
one in which a President was at
the White House in recent years.
Franklin D. Roosevelt spent his
other Christmases at Hyde Park.
Mr.. Truman has always gone to
Independence. Except for 1941,
one has to go back to the Hoover
and Coolidge administrations for
a Christmas with the President
present.
There were children on hand
for the White House Christmas
parties in the Theodore Roose-
velt days; babies during the sec
ond Cleveland administration. In
all the voluminous data on Lin
coin there is little mention of
Christmas at the White House.

Of First Congregational Church
said 'if Christmas could NEAR

Bethlehem so long ago.
Conflict Is ''Ironic."
"It is ironic that today in
Bethlehem there is tragic conflict
between Arabs and Jews, so seri-
GUS that for Christmas they have
declared an armistice on the road
to Bethlehem so that pilgrims
might visit the shrine. I. wish
this Christmas truce could con-
tinue through the year and that il
could be a symbol of a truce in
Korea and throughout the world
The speaker also called for a
Christmas that could mean a
right spirit in America where
everybody is anxious that some
body else do the sacrificing on
prices and wages.

The Rev. Warren Mace, assist

today that it sometimes takes
crises to bring men to Christian

"The coming of Christ brought
positive values into life and one
of these is courage" the speaker
asserted. eve do not know how

ELk5 WIN SEASON
 OPENER FROM MOOSE

The Gastineau Channel Baseball League season officially opened yes terday afternoon before a large at tendance with the Elks taking full advantage of wild error-filled sec ond inning by the Moose to win IA to 4, although outhit II to 12.
 For the Elks, Smithberg showed brilliant pitching in striking out IA batters without giving up free ticket to first. For the Moose, start ing pitcher Magorty issued four walks in his two inning stint; re- lieving pitcher Shepherd struck out nine while issuing six walks, three of which came in the ninth.
 The only home run of the game and the first score for the Moose came in the third inning by McCagg with no one on base. A near home run was shared by Magorty off a hard hit ball by Snow in the eighth with the bases empty.

Maragon's s Sentence
fSt Louis Star-Times)

NSt. Louis star llTeS)
 To those who relish seeing the full book thown at every convicted offender, the sentence imposed on John Maragon will probably seem inadequate This o,ae-time bosom buddy of men in high White House paces got only the minimum his conviction on two chsr9es of perjury-eght months to two years. It's obviously no heavy punishment J
 Most person, though, will be quite content that Mara1an got only the minimum For the obvious fact is that Maragon was only the smallest of small fry He pdled his influence real and imagined, and traded on inc fact that could call President and presi- aential military aide by a familiar Harry Caught now not because he did the peddling and trading but because he lied about it to Senate committee 1t $ right that he should be punished But it's right, too that his punishment shouldn't be severe because he traded in such small stuff and because so many of the big operators go unscathed.
 Brig Gen. Harry Vaughan, who gave Maragon what little backing there for his front, is un- touched for instance; he still in the White House an intimate of the President. And the other "5 per ceners' who much bigger than Maragon ever pretended be, well the really time behind scenes lobbyists-theyre untouched too.
 It's strange net the government has, quite the reverse of usual ones it catches the small fish and lets the big go.

war broke.
 Or as late as 1946, our delegates writing the United Nations charter at San Francisco insisted on the right of veto"
 But time has moved so swiftly, the weapons of war have developed so gruesomely that, in the five short years between 1945 and 1850, most of us regret that last remain ing vestige of isolation-the veto.
 Yes, this is the age of fear-and fear is a bad master. It is an age when we spend our time looking under the bed for spies instead of looking ahead; when politicians illuminate about past mistakes in- stead of striving to prevent future mistakes. ass~n fe This is an age when we con- centrate on things military until there is real worry we may go bankrupt, though the state of the world is fear, and fear is psychol- ogical-for which military might can bring no permanent cure.

Removing Fear

If we could remove fear from the minds of men, our problems would be over. If we could especially remove the fear that has been carefully nurtured in the minds of the Russian people-fear against US which their Moscow masters want them to have-then our own fear would also vanish. So also would vanish our need for back breaking armament
 But what our leaders do not realize today, but which I hope you have learned long before 20OO, is that if we spent one-tenth the in- genuity we put into developing weapons of death, into devising ways of smuggling thoughts be- hind the iron curtain, our fears might then be over.
 As you in 2000 look back on us, you will decide that this is basic ally a thought" war One side has been especially successful in spreading thoughts Our side hasn't. Yes. this is a thought war first, though it may become a germ and atom war later. And it will probably never become a war of bullets, tanks. cannon, because the armies of the future won't get close enough. Yet we are still spending our tax money on these old-fashioned weapons
 I hope by the time you read this you will be able to say: How foolish those poor dubs were back in 1850" I hope that by 2000 you long ago will have dispelled the age of fear. hope you will have found way to carry out what we in our hearts know is the answer-that men must know each other, live together, work together
 l hope you not only have profited from our mistakes but also have
 had the ingenuity to carry that principle beyond the iron curtain For if man is to drive away that

Mechanics of Mans Destruction


 During the past 15 years the complications of life have acceler- ated faster than during the pre- ceding hundred. Especially in the past 10 years we have accelerated the mechanics of human destruc- tion.
 In fact, I would say this was the most distinctive feature of our current decade, and that we are now at turning point where man must learn to live with himself or else bring about his own des- truction.
 For we have developed gases which make raving maniacs out of men, developing their lust to kill. We have devised germs which can be scattered over an enemy country in thousands of tubes, spreading disease among cattle, rust among wheat, and virus among humans. We have invented rockets which, when fired into the air, shoot not in straight line, but change their course with uncanny accuracy to catch up with a speeding airplane And we have developed bombs which can devastate cities almost across oceans.
 All this we have developed quite recently for we are now convulsed with fear.

 Since then the day has been observed in memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice. On this one day let sincerity of spirit prevail.

The Age of Fear

l should say that as you in the year 2O00 look back on the year 1850 you will probably describe it as the age of fear. And you vii probably also say that fear is a bad master.
 It was in 1850 that we really woke up from our sublime isola- tion. Most of us alive today re- call how the Senate killed Wood row Wilson's League of Nations, because they believed we could re- main isolated We recall how at the London Naval conference of 1930, the isolationists would not even let Henry L.
