Review Of
Unusual Book

'Stephania' by Ilona Karmel,
is bound to be an unusual book,
because the author herself is un-
usual" says a review of the story.
'Ilona Karmel was born in
Poland. From 1941 when she was
16, until 1943, she wandered hid
ing from the Nazis. Then she was
captured and spent three years
in concentration camps. Here she
began to write poetry to preserve
her identity.
"She was abandoned as dead
by the retreating Germans in
1915 and a year later was sent
to Sweden where she was in the
hospital for two years GONZALES
cling. Then she came to America
to college.
This book is in a sense auto
biographical, for the story is
based on her experiences in a
hospital ward. The story revolves
around the lives of the patients in
one ward in a Swedish hospital
for the handicapped.
ut is particularly about Ste
phana, who cannot give in to the
fact that she will be a disfigured
cripple all her life. Bravely ano
bitterly she fights to be normal
again.
This is mature book for Z
27 year old author but not hel
first success. She was co-winnel
of the Mademoiselle magazine fic,
ton contest and one of her Short
stories was chosen to be published
in the BEST Short Stories o.

Court Upsets Dope
Conviction; Says
Police Acted Illegally

The U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia
today reversed the conviction. of
District man on narcotics
charges. on grounds the arrest
ing officers acted illegally in
getting into his apartment by
posing as telegraph messengers.
Must Disclose Purpose.
&c. even if an officer Is
armed with a warrant of arrest
for a person he believes is in
another'S home, he may not law
fully break and enter the house
unless he first discloses his
true purpose to the inmates Of
the house and is refused admit
tance," the court held.
The ruling came in the case
Of Daniel Gatewood, colored,
arrested at 1924 Monroe street
NV, September Is, 1852.
Police seeking a woman "bail
jumper" got a phone tip that
she was at Gatewood's apart
ment. A bench warrant had
been issued for her. But the
officers here did not know she
already was in custody in Ohio.
Posed as Messengers.
They went to Gatewood's
apartment and identified them
selves as telegraph messengers.
Gatewood opened the door but
tried to close it again when he
saw the officers.
The police forced their way
in, failed to find their quarry.
but seized a quantity Of heroin.
Gatewood admitted the dope was
for his own use and was arrested.
In upsetting the conviction,
the appellate court also ruled
that since the entry was illegal
the seized dope should not have
been admitted as evidence. The
courts opinion was written by
Judge Wilbur K. Miller, and
concurred in by Judge George
Washington. Judge Bennett
Champ Clark dissented.

By the Associated. Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 23.-For
the first time in 80 years st. AL
phonsus School yesterday gave
its pupils a Christmas party
without a Santa Claus.
Pagan elf that the traditional
Santa Claus is," explained the
Right Rev. Louis j. Mendelis to
240 youngsters, "he is a good
spirit who lives only in books, in
the popular land of fairies and
hobgoblins, and is not the real
giver of the gifts you receive at
Christmas"
The Catholic priest told the
kids, ranging from 3 to about IA,
there was no place in the re-
ligious celebration for '.tfe Santa
Claus that many of you have
seen standing on street corners"
In simple words Father Men
delis told the story of Christ's
birth and urged them to asso-
ciate Christmas Day with that,
rather than with Santa Claus.
Explains About st. Nicholas.
''It is true there lived a man
whose name was st. Nicholas.
who was a bishop of the Catholic
Church many centuries ago."
he said. HE was kind to the
poor. He had especial love for
the children and his feast is
kept by the Catholic Church
every year on December 6. i.
But because st. Nicholas :.
knew and loved Jesus as his
God and Saviour of the world,
he would never consent to take
the place of Jesus at Christmas
time as the giver Of gifts that
you all receive. God Is the giver

Priests Ban on Santa at Party
Doesn't Bother Children Much

of all good gifts and Jesus. who
is God is the real giver of
the gifts that you will receive
today. tomorrow and on Christ
mas day."
One of the little girls, 7-year-
old Anita Butler, nodded en-
phatically when asked if she
liked the story.
Asked if she expected to see
Santa Claus at the party. she
said: mo, because he's just some
man dressed up in a bunch Of
old stuff"
On the other hand, a 5-year-
old boy whose first name was
Ed acknowledged that he had
expected to see Santa. Pressed
for his views on Santa's absence,
he volunteered that maybe he
was sick"
After talking to nearly a dozen
youngsters. the general impress
sion was that most Of those old
enough to understand what
Msgr. Mendelis was saying were
old enough to be skeptical of
Santa's existence anyway. The
younger ones didn't seem to real
iZe what had been said.
st. Alphonsus is mostly a
Lithuanian parish, with two as
slstant priests who fled the Com
munists and are now learning
to speak English. About 100 of
the pupils are refugee children.
Msgr. MendeliS said he has
received scores of letters from
Maine to California and from
Seattle to Florida" since he pub
licly said last week that he in
tended to put Christ back into
Christmas.
He said the letters ran about
