Truman Leaves
On Flying

Say How Long MIR.
Truman Will BE Gone

WASHINGTON IL President
Truman took off at 1853 a, m,

for Christmas.
Accompanied by his daughter
Margaret, the President headed for
independence, Mo, aboard the

They planned to land at Fairfax

Mrs. Truman was already at
home preparing for the traditional

Others in the presidential party
included Brig. Gen. Wallace Ora
ham. the presidential physician;
Brig. Gen, Robert Landry, Air
Force aide; Roger Tubby. assistant
press Secdetary.
II business allows, Mr.. Truman
anticipates nothing more than the
sort OF trip home for a family
celebration of the holiday that
many another American is making

But just how much of a break

Pope Plus Urges
World To Look To
Babe OF Bethlehem

VATICAN City. B-Pope Plus
XII urged the world today to look
toward the babe of Bethlehem rath-
er than to force of arms to achieve
true peace.
# was his 18th Christmas mes
sage since he became pope in 1899.
and in all of them his appeal was
for peace.
From the heart warming intl-
macy of the Christ Child. he said
one steps into a world that is
far from Christ II is like step
ping into gust Of freezing air,
he declared.
The world, the pope said. more
than ever is divided into two camps
over which hangs the threat Of
war modernized with weapons OF
"monstrouS cruelty.
Yet, he said. disarmament
(which we always have desired
would be an unstable guarantee
of lasting peace if il is not &C
companied by abolition Of weapons
of hate and cupidity and Of over
weening lust for prestige
The pope spoke in a strong voice.
His message was given in reply
10 greetings of the College of Car
dinals and was devoted almost en-
tirely TO peace and his belief in
how 1t could be obtained.
He addressed himself to the Cath
Ole faithful of all continents and
also to those who are one with
US in faith in God. Again, as he
has in all past Christmas messages
he spoke of the need of social re-
form that would provide for ma
terial needs of men as basic
measure for enduring peace.
The church's mission, he said,
is beyond that of a temporal in
Stituti0n. He said the present state
Of affairs demands from us frank
and sincere judgment upon events.
These events. he declared. have
reached such critical stage that
we are forced to recognize that
the world is split into two opposi-
ton camps and that all men are
divided into two clearly separated
groups which subsequently are
loath to concede to anyone any
sort Of liberty TO maintain a posi-
ton of political neutrality.
