Christmas
1853

Editors Note: The following
article is being reprinted from
the December issue of CON-
TACT, bulletin of the First .
Presbyterian, through the cour-
tesy of DR.. Howard NJ. Wells,
minister.
"December 8 last may turn out
to be day of destiny.
"The president made his atom
plan speech to the U. N. Assembly.
We hold Eisenhower to be a great
man, to have been a great gen.
eral. AS yet, he has not been great
in his office as president. That is,
up until December 8, 1858. On that
day he delivered one of the finest
speeches ever delivered in the an
nails of our country. 1t could well
be one of the greatest speeches in
history. 1t sounded like Eisenhower
as we have dreamed him to be, a
large-minded man, a humanist, an
idealist. Yet his mind is distinctly
practical. He is not himself in the
limited area of political in-fight-
ing. Politicians in a petty sense are
not his soup. We believe he would
fire many of them, If he could.
But he can't. That's politics.
However, he was greatly him
self before the UN. He kept his
feet on the substantial ground of
the facts. He lifted sights above
the divisional fears that beset the
world. He called all men to rise up
to their better selves. He appealed
to the conscience Of mankind
everywhere. He stepped forth as
the leader in the world.
"On the same day the pope in
Rome inaugurated the Marian year.
Upon this occasion he prayed
for peace, universal and sincere"
Millions praying for peace, uni
versally and sincerely, leaves US
deeply impressed.
"The audience that heard the
president numbered 300,000,000
The message was spoken from the
housetops of the world. If the peo-
pie will heed the words and if the
leaders will heed the people, we
may we'll stand at a turning point
in our time. If all the people, even
as some, if all the people will
pray, universally and sincerely for
peace, we may we'll see the miracle
of God and man wrought on earth
in our years.
$50 might the Christmas hope
become real as never before. So
might the prayer be fulfilled that
peace shall over all the world her
ancient mantle fling, and our
whole world join in the song which
still the angels sing"

NEW RED CLOVER RELEASED TO FARMERS

"Alaskland," a new mammoth red clover variety, is to be re- leased to Alaska farmers this spring according to the Agronomy Department of the Alaska Agri- cultural Experiment Station. The new variety is the first hardy le- gume to be released to Alaskan farmers by the Experiment Sta tion. It consistently has survived in excellent stands at the Fair banks Station and has given satis- factory survival in most tests con- ducted at the Matanuska Station.
 Origin of the new variety is not definitely known, but it is be- lieved to trace to three lots of seed sent to Alaska in 1929 which the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture obtained from Russia. These strains survived the winter at Fairbanks but were never in- creased and released to farmers. Several years ago increase was begun at the Fairbanks Experi- ment Station and two years ago foundation seed was sent to the state of Washington for further increase.
 About 1000 pounds of seed are available for distribution this spring and plans are being made for a continuing supply. Farm CTS wishing to purchase seed should write the Agronomy De- partment, Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station, Palmer, Alas ka. Seed may be purchased at a

Bandits Watched for Comfort
OfGuurds- After Frinq Shot

The three bandits who robbed
the Goldenberg store early today
apparently thought Guard George
M. Shay was going for his gun
when they fired one shot to
frighten him, he said today.
You're lucky you didn't get
killed." he quoted one of the
trio.
But from then on-during the
three hours the masked men
prowled the big store-they did
several things for the comfort
of their captives, the guards
related.
Bandit Guards Them.
At all times, they said, one of
the bandits stood guard over
them, usually standing at their
back.
When they went to the fifth
floor Offices of Vice President
Alan Goldenberg to open three
safes there, one bandit instructed
them to "sit down and get COM
Portable; you don't have to
walk" Guard Bernard Morris
said.
1t was Mr.. Morris first night
on the job. He came to Wash
ington about two months ago
from Westfeld, Mass, the home
town of Guard Shay. At MI.
Shays suggestion, he applied for
the night watchman's job and
was given the post.
Mr.. Morris said the guard tre-

of the three dispatched one man
to go find Mr.. Morris.
Find Second Guard.
The bandit returned without
him and all three, forcing Mr..
Shay along with them, went to
the first floor, Mr.. Shay said.
They said they saw Mr.. Morris
standing just outside the door.
One of the bandits ordered Mr..
Shay to attract Mr.. Morris at
tention by tapping on the win
dow and calling him inside,
where the three pounced on him,
police were told.
Both guards were bound and
gagged and placed in the opti-
clans Office while the three
bandits went to work, the report
said.
They tried five safes on one
floor, but opened only three,
police were informed. The
most cash was in the basement
Walk-in vault. The payroll for
todays' payday was in three
built-in money chests.
The bandits, gaining entrance
to the vault by knocking off the
dial, carried off sacks of quar-
ters, but left sacks of smaller
change at the vault door. There

was an estimated $4,000 in quar-
terS alone, Vice President Alan
Goldenberg said.
Some of the money was carried
away in two new SuitcaseS the
men picked up on the second
floor.
How Entry Was Gained.
The three apparently entered
the store through a second
floor window after climbing on
the first floor roof from an ad-
joining rooming house, police
said.
The store patrol normally
made by the two watchman in
wolves checking the patrol boxes
every hour on the half hour
When their signal does not ap-
pear at American District Tele-
graph headquarters, it consti-
tutes an alarm.
At the prescribed intervals,
the bandits forced the guards
to their feet and made them
point out each patrol box so the
signal could be registered, the
guards disclosed.
In their wake, in addition to
the sacks of small change
stacked at the vault, the ban
dts left their tools-"a full set
of burglar TOOLS" one veteran
policeman described them. 1t
included sledges, drills, crowbars
and hammers. II

Senator Mccarthy, telling
about questioning of the Signal
Corps scientist, said the mans
roommate at the time, whose
name was not given. also was
an employe of the Signal Corps
and was later fired for Com
mupist activity.
He added that the roommate
had full access to the secret
documents while they were III
the apartment.
His excuse for removing docu-
ments to his apartment" Sena-
tor Mccarthy said, was that it
was common practice and that
he was studying up on his work. "
The witness denied ever pass
ing them on to Communist eS-
pionage agents, the Wisconsin
Republican said.
Some of the classified docu-
ments dealt. with radar matters,
Senator Mccarthy said.
The witness, according to Sen
ator Mccarthy, claimed he had
a signed pass allowing him to
remove documents from the lab
oratory to his apartment.
But the records don't show
that" Senator Mccarthy added,
"and the witness didn't claim

SHAY doesn't smoke" Mr..
Morris said, "but they gave me a
couple of cigarettes and lit them
for me-"
He was bound with strips of
cloth but an electric cord was
used to bind Mr.: Shay. When
they complained of the bonds
cutting off circulation, the bandit
said, well, you know we have to
do this"
Mr.. Morris said he began to
feel apprehensive when he heard
one of the men say What are
we going to do with them?'"
Il thought we were going for
a ride" he remarked.
At one point. a bandit told
them, Tell the cops it's no use
looking for fingerprints. We're
all wearing gloves"
CriticiZeS Salary.
AS they started to leave the
store and before gagging them
with adhesive tape, one of the
trio asked how much money
they were paid as night watch
men. On receiving the answer,
the man replied:
'"That's a hell of a salary to
pay. Well see your names in
the paper and send you a pres
ent." Mr.. Morris quoted him.
