December's Activities.
BY Lillian Cox Athey

Snow on the ground often
shows where night hunters have
been abroad, leaving many
tracks. Tiny tracks indicate
mice are out hunting a few
more grain seeds. A blur in the
midst of the tracks with a few
drops of blood means the great
night hunter, the owl. spotting
the mouse, has swooped down to
claim victim.
Even If the pet fishing pond
is frozen over, you can cut a
hole in the ice and get a bite
Life in the pond goes on, though
at slower pace. December is
the mating month for crawf1sh.
Later the females will be creep
ing over the mud bottom carry
ing great masses of eggs.
All leaves have departed from
trees and old bird nests are yours
for the taking. This is the time
to take one apart and count the
number of strips necessary to
complete the nursery. No matter
how you try, you cannot put
the items together again even
with the best of tools. Then you
remember all the little architect
had was bill and feet to ac-
complish what you cannot do.
Some shrubs, bushes and trees
have fruit hanging on them.
Birds land to harvest what has
been overlooked. Later these
trees will have children in far
away places.
Rabbits, foxes, shrews and
mice are out at night. Mice
hunt for grains and weed seeds;
rabbits for greens: foxes for
smaller neighbors. Shrews. who
must find their weight in food
every "a hours, are the greatest
hunters. Even a fox passes by
a shrew because its musky
favored flesh is too strong.
The gem of the month, the
turquoise carries the icy colors
of the month. Red and green are
the months colors.. It is the
month of gifts, pleasant parties
and gay dances. It may be the
last month in the season. but it
is the springboard for the busy
months to follow and so becomes
one of the best of the year.

(COnLlnueQ 1rOm rage O1eJ
The prosecution presented Is wit
nesses and the defense six.
The Smiths Japanese maid, Shi-
geko TAM, 28, who said she was
along in the Washington Heights
home with the couple the night
of the stabbing, testified that the
colonel told her Mrs. Smith had
stabbed him. The maid also quoted
Mrs. Smith as saying, Pm so
glad / did it,
A neighbOr, 1t. Col. Joseph Har-
din, said Mrs. Smith blurted out:
Too bad l didn't get him in the
heart"
Two Army nurses testified that
Mrs. Smith said she stabbed her
husband as he slept.
Not once in the Six-day trial
did the defense contest the charge
of premedita!ed murder. 1t based
its case on a contention that she
was temporarily insane, because
of an overdose of drugs, and that
she was gripped by an ''irreSist-
ible impulse"
The Army's top psychiatrist,
Brig. Gen. Rawley E. Chambers,
was flown by the Army from
Washington to testify in Mrs.
Smiths behalf. For four years he
had been her personal physician
in San Antonio, Tex. He said she
was addicted to alcohol and soda
tives.
Chambers told of what he called
explosive episodes" in San An
tonic. He said they took place after
Mrs. Smith had INDUCED in over
doses of sedativeS.
Chambers said Mrs. Smith once
knocked down the wife of an Of
ficer at club, then jumped over
second-story banniSter. Result:
a broken kneecap.
Many times, he said, she slashed
her wrists and elbows and threat
ened to shoot herself. Once, he
said, she threw an ashtray at her
son, who was trying to help her.
He said he was certain that
Mrs, Smith was temporarily in
sane and in the grip of an irresist-
IDLE impulse at the moment Smith
was stabbed.
Near the close of testimony.
Mrs. Smith shouted "stop!" and
broke into tears when Col.
w. II. H. Jones, prosecution at
torney, said:
Il defy you to produce one ex-
preston of regret from this wom-
an for the crime she has com.
mitted."
Mrs. Smith did not testify.

Needs OF Modern
Living Receive
Papal Attention
BY FRANK RRuTTo

CATICAN CITY R-Pope Plus
today directed that conditions for
receiving communion and celebra-
ting mass in the Roman Catholic
Church may be relaxed where ne
cessary to meet the needs of mod
ern life.
He issued new apostolic con-
stitution" permitting bishops to
authorize afternoon mass after
four O'Clock to accommodate work
erS who otherwise might not be
able to get to church.
He ruled also that the taking of
plain water no longer constitutes
breaking of the fast before
communion, and that in certain
circumstances some nourishment,
not including alcoholic liquids, may
be taken up to an hour before
communion. Until now Catholics
have been obliged to obstain from
both food and water from mid
night until receiving the sacrament
at communion.
The Pope declared, however, that
persons who are not greatly in
convenienced should continue to
follow all the old prescriptions of
the church for receiving commun-
ion.
A Vatican press office summary
said the pontiff was moved to alter
the conditions of the ancient ritual
of communion because of Difficult
tries where the church is being
prosecuted, and because of
changes in modern life particularly
among night workers, mothers and
school children.
A specially prepared instruction
from the Supreme Sacred Congre-
CATION of the holy office--one of the
Vatican's IL bodies governing
church matters--prescribed several
points about the new apostolic
constitution.
The first said those not situated
in particular conditions must con-
tinue to observe the eucharistic
fast from midnight, as heretofore,
with the exception thai plain water
may be taken.
The second said the sick, either
priests or people, even if not con-
fined to bed, may take something
in the form of liquid or true medi.
cine, excluding alcoholic drinks.

Rosenberg Ask
For Presidential
Clemency Today

WASHINGTON R-Julius and
Ethen Rosenberg, the convicted
atom spies, appealed to President
Truman today to spare their lives.
They have been sentenced to die
in the electric chair at New York'S
Sing Sing prison next Wednesday,
for conSpiring to give atom secrets
to Russia.
A representative of defense coun-
sci filed the plea for presidential
clemency at the justice department
at $50 this morning.
Federal Judge irving r. Kauf-
man of New York had given them
until today to file the petition. He
said its filing would automatically
mean a stay of execution until five
days after the president announces
his decision on the clemency APP
peal.
The Rosenbergs, husband and
wife, have lost all their court APP
pealS and the appeal to the preSi-
dent was their last resort.
Marching pickets asking. Glenn
ency have been patrolling outside
the White House in recent days.
A Justice Department official
said the appeal goes now to the
departments pardon attorneys who
will review the whole case. They
will make their recommendation to
Attorney General McGranery and
he in turn will give his to the
president.
The official described the petition
as quite lengthy but said he didn't
yet know on what arguments it was
based.
Rosenberg, "a, and his wife
Ethel, SO, were convicted March 20,
1851 of conspiring to turn Americas
atom bomb secrets over to Russia.
In denying judicial clemency last
week, Judge Kaufman called their
crime worse than murder.
The Rosenbergs have maintained
they are innocent.

East Germany Is
Threatened With
Connie Purge

BERLIN Up - The West Berlin
Telegraf said today that a Mos
cow-ordered purge of East Ger
many'S Communist Party is threat
ening the position of Premier Otto
Grotewohl, a former socialist.
The newspaper said party boss
Walter Ulbricht, an old-time Com
munist who returned from his Mos
cow exile to Germany as Soviet
citizen in 1945, is trying to take
the premiership away from GrOte-
wohl. Ulbricht at present is first
deputy premier.
To prevent an open fight, the
Soviet Control Commission has re-
ferred the matter to Moscow for
top-level decision, the Telegraf
added.
The official newspaper of the
east zones ruling Socialist Unity
&C o m unist) Party, Neues
Deutschland, called on all $500, 900
party members today "to confess
honestly any dark points in their
past.
1t said this is the only chance
for all comrades to help make good
past crimes against the party. To
withhold the truth would be re-
garded at least as seriously as any
failures in the past, the newspaper
declared.
Neues Deutschland addressed its
warning especially to party mem
bers who sought asylum in western
countries when the Nazis assumed
power in Germany.
