Blind Detroit Youngsters
Are Guests Of Santa Claus
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Dec. 20.-A truly
touching Christmas party came to
pass last night for a large part OF
the city's blind.
A downtown department store
arranged an after-hours party in
its toyland for some $50 blind
children and their parents.
The sightless youngsters had as
gay time as luckier ones who can
see, riding the merry-go-round
and a toy jet plane. They whooped
madly, firing toy guns at imagi-
nary targets.
Little boys and girls carefully
ran their fingers over lines of
stuffed animals and other toys.
Like children everywhere, they
lined up-some bold, some anx-
ious, some shy-to tell Santa
Claus their Christmas wish.

 Both attacks were made in let terS addressed to Vice President Barkley and distributed to all members of the Senate, over which Barkley presides.
