BIC JULIE from Chicago has been
thinking and he says: This cos

matter, but | understand how it
can be highly tragic to a pretty

that we should go and speak to

So they impart the story to Mr..

Guilty is this: the mood OF Miss

not dress her up like Christmas Eve

not be right for a Salvation Army

Patuxent Sailor Dies
In Apartment Fire

A sailor stationed at the
Patuxent (Md) Naval Air Test
Center was burned to death early
today when fire swept his second
floor apartment in a house at
Hollywood, about 8 miles from the
base. Two other sailors escaped
unhurt.
Base officials identified the vic
tim as D. E. Lowder. They said
his wife is at the base hospital,
where she gave birth to a daugh-
ter two days ago.
His companions, who were
spending the holiday with him,
are B. r. Lanier and Peter S.
Foster, also stationed at the test
center.
Chief William Holley of the
Leonardtown Volunteer Fire De-
partment said Mr.. Lowder ap-
parently had entered a closet by
mistake when the fire broke out
and was suffocated. His body
was found in a section of the
closet which had fallen to the
basement when the floors gave
way. The fire chief estimated
damage at 5000.
Base officials attributed the
blaze to an overheated kerosene
stove in the living room. The
house was owned by Joseph Joy,
who occupied an apartment on
the first floor. He also escaped.

Mr.. Truman heard the news
through official Army channels

The President planned to open
his personal Christmas gifts in
leisurely fashion with his wife
and daughter Margaret around
the family Christmas tree after
reading the papers and having a
late breakfast today.
He made no official engagements
and hoped to spend the holiday
like any plain American citizen
of a small Midwestern commu-
nifty.
The religious note in Mr.. Tru-
mans comment on the Korean
evacuation was in keeping with
the theme he had set few hours
earlier in his national appeal for
peace prayers.
