tive and decisive force in the lives
of their children"
Cardinal Spellman came TO Brus-
sells from Vienna, where he was
slightly indisposed and spent a day
in his hotel room. He had previous
ly been in Munich, where he was
warmly welcomed by religious and
civic leaders after having flown
there from Rome, where he attend
ed the dedication of the new
North American College.
Referring to the bitterness, sus-
picion and distrust" of America in
postwar Europe, Cardinal Spell
man said it was Understandable
that such feelings should emanate
from communist sources. However,
he commented, Americans find it
difficult to understand why there
should be so deep a diStrust of
them on the part of many non-com-
munist spokesmen and writer's in
Western Europe"
Denies Critics
s'It is one of the glories of free
men," the Cardinal said, that they
can offer each other constructive
criticism, and still maintain their
common ground, their common
purpose. However, it seems, in
these latter days, that certain crit
les in Europe have not honored the
canons of constructive criticism in
their judgments of America =. To
such critics we are vulgar, preoccu-
pied with trivia, possessing neither
culture nor soul. We are the new
Carthage, all wealth and no soul"
Denying that these critics are
right or that they speak for the
world at large, the Cardinal spoke
of the generous response Of Amer
lea to desperate needs created by
war which, he said, has elected
widespread gratitude among the
people of the ravaged countries
Such people, he declared, ''will re-
member America as something
more than a self-centered, materi-
alistic power. They win remember
her as a land whose heart is easily
touched and whose kindness to the
needy is unbounded."
Religion for u.s." Cardinal
Spellman asserted, els something
more than the observance of out
ward forms. We have deep un-
derstanding of the quality of mer-
ey as defined by Christ From
her rich bounty, America has CIV
en- unstintingly, and for this she
expects no praise, but she does
hope she will be spared the carp
ing criticism that she is all wealth
and no spirit"

Staying Of Woman
For Insurance Laid
To Husband, Friend
BY the Associated Press

DENVER, Dec. "A young
salesman and a co-worker were
held today after police said they
admitted a holdup-slaying to
collect insurance on a pretty
red-haired telephone operator.
Detective Capt. Charles Burns
described the strangling of Mrs.
Evelyn Leick. 26, last Tuesday
night as one of the strangeSt
ever investigated by Denver
police.
In custody were her husband,
LIE Roy Leick, 80, and Gene
Dukes, 20. employees of the same
brokerage firm here.
Detective Capt. William E.
Flor said both signed statements
admitting a plot to kill Mrs.
Leick but each blamed the other
for throttling her. They were
quoted as saying it took 20
minutes.
Mrs. Leick was found dead
in the back seat of the family
car 20 minutes after her hus-
band was discovered. bleeding
and semiconscious from a beat
ing, in a downtown alley. His
wife's sister, Miss Vera Monroe
had been pushed out of the car
in another alley, also after a
beating.
Leick and Miss Monroe told
officers then they were dubbed
by man who rose from the back
seat of the Leick car as the trio
left their apartment house and
started to a movie.
Detectives reported yesterday
two other men had volunteered
the information that Leick, mar
ried in 1948, had offered them
money to help make the death
of his wife look like a holdup

in 1851.

ton centered on Leick after word

covery of Mrs. Leick's $1,000 life

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Colos-
sus of Rhodes, one of the seven
ancient wonders of the world,
was described by a British scien-
tist last night as hollow sham.
Herbert Maryon, 79-year-old
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, told a
meeting of the Society of Anti
quaries the giant statue was:
l. Too small to stand astride
the harbor of Rhodes.
2. Made of thin bronz sheets
instead of solid bronze.
The statue, of the sun god
HelioS, was the work of a sculp-
tor named Chares, who spent II
years on his masterpiece. It
was erected in $50 B. c. An
earthquake tumbled it SO years
later.
The story handed down
through the years is that the
statue stood with a beacon in it's
hands and one foot on each side
OF the harbor entrance, with

enough clearance for ships to
pass underneath.
Mr.. Maryon said he has deter
mined from a study of classical
inscriptions that the statue was
in fact 100 feet high and the
harbor 600 feet wide, which
would make the famous straddle
an anatomical impoSsibility.
Furthermore, he said, his re-
search indicated the heroic figure
was not cast in one piece, as
hitherto supposed, but was made
of bronze sheets beaten into
shape and riveted together. Mr..
Maryon estimated the thickness
of the sheets as equal to that of
of a British penny-about a 18th
of an inch.

The Salvation Army kettles,
symbol of a merry Christmas
for many who would never know
joy without them, are boiling"
again in Washington.
Until Christmas eve, the
kettles will be maintained at ii
downtown stations, reminding
some that this is National SAL
vation Army Week, and others
that this is a custom with a
long and happy history.
The Salvation Army consid-
cred it's job was made easier by
approval of the use of loud
speakers for Christmas charity
drives, an action taken by the
District Commissioners yester-
day.
While Maj. Hubert Holmes
and his 20 workers seek to raise
$4,000 to bring Christmas to
the needy, they might reflect on
a tradition dating back to 1894.
First Kettle in San Francisco.
In that year, in California,
during a time of extreme depres-
sion and with shipping at
standStill, many Seamen and
longshoremen were out of work
and in dire need. Capt. Joseph
McFee, a Salvation Army officer
in San Francisco, had been
granted permission to set up a
soup kitchen and shelter for
them, provided he would assume
sole responsibility for financ-
ing it.
Obtaining funds for the prof.
ect was a big problem for him
until one day, walking along the
waterfront, he observed a huge
cauldron suspended on crane
in ship chambers shop.
Why not, he thought, place a
soup kettle in centrally located
spot SO that people could help
feed the hungry sailors by drop
ping coins into the big pot it
self? Placing the kettle at the
foot of Market street, and using
the slogan, keep the Pot Boil
ing" he found the public re-
sponsive and generous.
The first kettles appeared in
Washington in 1901.
A Sign of Hope.
Today their appearance means
new hope for many of those des-
titute far from home, to the aged
and friendleSS, to underprivileged
children, to patients in veterans
hospitals, to inmates of jails and
prisons and to others for whom
Christmas might spell the differ
ence between misery and happi-
ness.
This money is used for various
purposes. For instance, there is
the toy shop at 403 Tenth street
NV, About 1,500 mothers will
select 10000 toys for 1000 chill
dren. Most of them will be
bought from kettle funds, but
many will be given by Govern
ment agencies and through the
efforts of the Doll House, spon-
Sored by Radio Station WRC.
Then there is the Food Center.
Through kettle funds, Christmas
dinners will be supplied from the
center to about 1,700 families.
This will start on December %.
The center is operated in CO.

munity Service Christmas Bureau

Aged and lonely individuals
also benefit from the kettle
funds. They get Salvation Army
checks to supplement inadequate
income. and about 500 such cou-
pies and individuals will get
Christmas dinners.

funds into about $500 gifts dis
