President Urges
Use of Prayer in
Thanksgiving Edict
Urges Citizens to Pray For
Wisdom as He Sets Thurs
day, November 26, as
Thanksgiving Day

President Eisenhower proclaimed
Thursday, November 26 as Thanks
giving Day and asked Americans
to pray for wisdom in our striving
for a better world"
Especially" the proclamation
said, "are we grateful this year fol
the truce in battle-weary Korea,
which gives to anxious men and
women throughout the world hope
that there may be an enduring
peace"
The text Of the proclamation:
AS nation much blessed, we
feel impelled at harvest time to
follow the tradition handed down
by our Pilgrim fathers of pausing
from our labors for one day to
render things to Almighty God fol
his bounties. Now that the year is
drawing to a close, once again it is
fitting that we incline our thoughts
to His mercies and offer to Him
our special prayers of gratitude.
For the courage and vision of
our forebears who settled a wilder
ness and founded a nation; for the
BLESSINGS of liberty" which the
trainers of our constitution sought
to secure for themselves and fol
their posterity, and which are sc
abundantly realized in our land to-
day; for the unity of spirit which
has made our country strong; and
for the continuing faith under His
guidance that has kept US a relig-
ious people with freedom of wor.
ship for all, we should kneel il
humble thanksgiving.
Especially are we grateful thi,
year for the truce in battle-weary
Korea, which gives to anxious mer
and women throughout the worlc
the hope that there may be an en-
during peace:
Now, therefore, l, Dwight d
Eisenhower, President of h
United States of America, in con.
sonance with the joint resolution Of
Congress approved Dec. 26, 1941
do hereby call upon our people tC
observe Thursday, the twenty-siXtl
day Of November, 1858, as a day
of national Thanksgiving. On tina
day let all Of US, in accordance witt
our hallowed custom, foregathel
in our respective places of worship
and bow before God on contritior
for our sins, in suppliance for wis
dom in our striving for a better
world, and in gratitude for the
manifold blessings He has be-
slowed upon us and upon our feI
low men.
In witness whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States of Ameri
ca to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this seventh day of November il
the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and fifty-threc and of the
independence of the United States
of America, the one hundred anc

This and That !.

Templeton Jones' dreams have long
been known for their attention to de-
tail. Many have suspected that he
embroidered them bit just to outwit
the Freudians in his audience.
Jones latest is a pippin, or whatever
it is superlative dream may be called.
He dreamed that he was a member
of giant conspiracy to wrest the con-
troll of the National Capital from what
appeared to be typical European push
on the part of Carlson's Men.
This was the name that stood out in
the whole affair when Jones woke up.
X
Carlson. just that, and no more.
Carlson's Men, as they were called,
were equipped with bows and arrows.
They carried them. ostensibly, as
sports equipment.
Though the authorities knew that they
harbored designs. to save face, they
made no move against them.
The bows were bright yellow, and the
arrows pale gray.
Carlson's Men carried them every
where, and the Commissioners made no
move.
Everybody asked, why didn't the
Commissioners move?
Jones was member of the opposition
party.
It seemed a very vague sort of con-
spiracy, with no party oath or anything,
and yet the members knew each other.
Templeton Jones came downtown one
night and alighted at huge concouse
at 18th and the Avenue.
Evening star., 1953-10-01

It seemed to be located at the narrow
space where buses pull in between
buildings, but it was fully a mile long,
and half mile wide.
Quite place, reallyl
There were plenty of Carlson's Men
around, each fully equipped with bow
and arrows, though one wondered what
they might be shooting at that time
of night.
It was fall, the leaves had fallen from
the spindly trees. victims Of concrete
and gasoline fumes.
What thrilled Jones, conspirator, was
the fact that there were literally thou
sands upon thousands Of men roaming
around the grand concourse. And not
one Of them had weapons.
"Our men," whispered Templeton
Jones to himself
This is the night it happens" he
said, in the low, meaningful tones con-
SpiratorS are widely supposed to use.
He went along Pennsylvania avenue
to the street car platform, and while
there ran into afriend who turned out
to be fellow conSpirator.
This must be it," whispered Jones.
The other smiled in the superior
manner of q man in the know.
This is it," he pronounced. I'VE are
going to take over control Of the city
tonight"
One Of CarIson's Men, with yellow
bow, sided up on the platform and
stopped close to Jones.

Exit Vaudeville?

M Only a very few people were in the Capitol
Theater yesterday afternoon at 4:30, when
Sam Jack Kaufman laid down his baton, and
vaudeville was finished in Washington, at least
for the time being The occasion was mourn
full one. Betty Madigan, born and educated
locally had prefaced her singing of Somewhere
Over Rainbow" with little speech in which
she said she was sad, and Alan Dale, another
vocalist of the modern school, caught the
contagion of her regret and tried to clown it
away-in vain Then Mr.. Kaufman attempted
a farewell in his traditional cheerful manner
with no better success. A paying customer"
had sent him a note asking for "Auld Lang
Syne," and the request was granted. So an
era ended at the Capitol.
The theater was called the Fox when vaude-
vile began there more than 25 years ago.
David Rubinoff, the violniSt, was starred in
the early programs. Scores of other musicians
followed him. Actors, dancers, acrobatS, trained
animals, even birds contributed to the history
of variety entertainment which now is con-
cluded. Many of the shows were of the best
Broadway caliber. "Going Native was an
annual opportunity for young Washingtonlans
to prove their talents Gene Ford and Carter
Barron put their genius for creative manage
