Trim Your Own
Christmus TubIecIofh
AP Newsfeatures

Christmas is a time when you
can let yourself go on gay decOra-
tiOns.
In addition to the holly wreaths
and mantel greens, you might trim
a tableclOth this year for Christ
mas dinner.
Start with a regular tableclOth-
a pale green one would be attrac-
tive-and edge it with white ball
fringe, which also is used to edge
two sides of the matching napkins.
Then decorate it with a Christ
mas tree on each corner, or on
each side, as you prefer. The tree
motif is made from dark green
moss fringe for the tree, brown
cotton cord for the trunk and the
white balls from ball fringe for
the trimmings.
To make the tree, cut the green
moss fringe into 10 strips, the bot
tom strip II inches long and each
strip 1 inch shorter until the top
branch of inches is cut.
Sew a 3-inch piece of brown cot
ton cord to your cloth for the tree
trunk. Then stitch on your
branches of green moss fringe, ov-
erlapping each row "A inch. Baste
on cotton balls for trimming, and
there you are.
All the trimmings can be found
in tre drapery trimming depart
ment of your favOrite store.
You can experiment with various
color schemes-fOr instance. a
white tree on a red tablecloth, with
green trim, or a red tree on a char
coal gray cloth, with red and white
ball fringe trim.

GIFT PROBLEM?
FESTIVE FUSES
JUST THE THING
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Nczyfeature Writer

AP NczvfeatHre Writer
From now until after the Christ
mas Eve Office party, I'll thank all
the beforehanded shoppers to leave
me alone with my gift problems.
I am a last minute shopper by
nature, if not by choice. l simply
cannot seem to get into the spirit
of Christmas shopping until the
crowds are out, the salespeOple
harassed and the best items snatch
ed up. What's more, l. never seem
to be able to think up just the per-
feet gift for each person on my
list, so wait until the last pOss-
ibIe moment and snatch up what
ever seems available and will get
by.
A 12-MOnth Project
One of the reasons some people
shop early, l have concluded, is so
they can brag and nag about it be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. l just thank my stars that
they are seasonal birds, because
there is positively nothing more
nervOus-making than listening to
an early shopper when you haven't
even set down your list of giftees
on the back of a used envelope.
l know shoppers who work on
Christmas the year around. One
woman of my acquaintance took
one day of a twO-day tourist visit
to Paris last summer to find a little
shop on an obscure street and or
der a wide assortment of hand
mOnOgrammed handkeTchiefs for
Yule distribution.
Some Are Practical
Several months ago a fOresighted
friend invested in new glassware.
She ordered tumblers, old-fashiOn-
ed cocktail and wine glasses for
herself-and at the same time or
deTed extra dozens of assorted
glassware of the same pattern, all
earmarked for Christmas gifts.
Now" she remarked comfort
ably, "if l give a party and need
more glasses, I'll know just where
I can borrow some that match my
pattern"
Others Hurtle Through

thoughtful operations are possible

Airlines Request Lower
Mail Rates for Themselves

WASHINGTON, tR-FOur trunk
airlines - Capital, National, Pan
American and Northwest - have
requested lower mail rates for
themselves.
The four, in separate petitions,
told the Civil Aeronautics Board
CAB they want their present
rate Of So cents ton-mile reduced
about Is percent to meet competi-
ton of other airlines that have a
45-cent-a-t mile rate in seeking
airmail contracts.
The Post Office Department has
announced that effective Jan. l it
will send airmail by airlines hav-
ing the lowest rates, where there
are competitive routes.
The CAB has fixed the domes-
tic mail pay of Capital, National,
Northwest and Pan American at
the on-subsidy or compensatory
rate of So cents ton mile-53
cents for carrying a ton Of mail
one mile.
The four largest domestic air
lines - American, Eastern, TWA
and United-have compensatory
rate of SIS cent a ton mile. The
theory for this is that their oper-
ating expenses are lower and their
routes more profitable than those
of companies with higher mail
rates.

Five Convicts Still
At Large After
Escape from Pen

DETROIT, Up - The last five
of Is southern Michigan prison
fugitives-two murderers, kid
naper, a robber and a burglar -
were believed holed up some
where in sprawling Detroit today,
waiting for an intensive manhunt
to slacken.
The other eight who burroWed
out Of the worlds largest walled
prison with them Saturday night
were back behind bars. Seven Of
them were captured within hours
after the spectacular break from
the penitentiary at Jackson. An
other, cold and hungry, gave up
there last night.
A complete lack of leads for
some "a hours after they were
last seen in Detroit's northwest
section convinced police that the
remaining five were laying low
for the time being.
In an effort to rout them, sew
eral hundred city and state police
combed the vast Detroit residen-
tial area where the fugitives
ditched their stolen Cadillac and
released unframed two women
hostages taken along on wild
all-night ride. 1t was one Of Mchi-
CANS biggest manhunts.
The IS found freedom by cut
ting through steel CRATES of an
underground sewer with an acety-
lene torch. Where they got the
torch and the oxygen to operate
it was the subject Of an immedi-
ate investigation by Warden VIM.
H. Bannan.
The two women hostages, Mrs.
Watts and Miss Gilbert said the
fugitives were gentlemen thru-out
and kept assuring them they
would not be harmed if they fol-
lowed instructions.

Propose Use OF
Arctic Ice Islands
Jet Fighter Bases

WASHINGTON, Up - An Air
Force Arctic expert, has proposed
forming small fighter plane units
on polar ice islands, which could
lash out with atomic bombs
against any aggreSsor nation.
1t. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher,
who organized the first detach-
ment for the drifting ice island
T-3 in 1850, said such units might
prove to be the only readily avail
able retaliatory bases if Russia
should strike suddenly and wipe
out present us. air bases in for
ward areas.
Fletcher, who is now in the air
research and development COM
mand, outlined his proposal in a
paper written for the official pub
LEGATION "Air University Quarter
ly."
"The basic unit might be built
around the all-weather fighter as
an atomic bomb delivery vehicle,
supported by long-range air trans
port or by submarine" he wrote.
"There are no technical OBJ
stacles formidable enough to pre-
vent the development of such a
tactical capacity
While he did not SO specify, it
is known that small but power
full atomic bombs now can be
carried in such planes as the jet
F-84 fighter.
Fletcher said that in any sud-
den atomic war Russia would
strike first and possibly destroy
such forward bases as the big
airdrome at Thule, in northwest
Greenland.
Moreover, he suggested that
use of bases in foreign territory
might be lost by shifting policy
Of friendly nations.
"In some cases our allies, faced
with the choice of neutrality or
obliteration, may decide that neu-
trality is their only salvation" he
said. ALREADY we hear talk from
some of them"

DY EARLY October on almost
ID every college campus there is
one man who takes on the beat-up
look which comes from being
abused by thousands of angry foot
ball fans. Unlike the coach, who
can keep fans happy by producing
winning team. this man only gets
into worse trouble if the team
keeps winning. He is the ticket
manager.
The more successful the team,
the more people want to see the
games from the 5O-yard line. Big
games are sellouts long in ad-
vance, and fans become yearly
more crafty and savage in trying
to obtain the unobtainable. The
ticket manager is Target No. l.

Morley's phone rings every few
seconds with calls such as these:
This is Senator So-and-So of

pick up some good tickets?" ..

baby. If l show you the scraps can
you replace it," :. I've simply

I'll lose her." .. 'Mr. Morley,
what the hell do you mean by
sending me tickets behind the goal
line?"
Few of these callers will extort
good seats or any seats - from
Morley; yet most of them end up
with the feeling that they've been
treated fairly. He tries hard, be-
cause public relations of the uni
versity are involved in every ticket
transaction.

claims to be a Senator is told,
