Many of the well known legend
have been immortalized in Christ
mas cards. One legend has it that
when Christ was born all the trees
burst into blossom and bore fruit.
Birds sang and all the forest
was transformed into a magic gar
den. There was a sound of bells
on the night air and a multitude
of angels singing.
Thus, today our Christmas cards
often show star at the top of

Bipartisan
Approach
Advocated
By Mory |. vouahon

Representative Frelinghuysen,
Republican, of New Jersey, said
yesterday a bipartisan approach
in the foreign policy field is
necessary for the good Of the
country.
Speaking to the District
League Of Republican Women
in the Mayflower Hotel, he ex-
pressed the opinion it is wrong
to make curse words" out of
the Truman-Acheson foreign
policy.
In an election year, he de-
clared, many things are said,
with some candidates acting in
an irresponsible manner"
It is wrong when any one
tries to condemn in an unquali-
fled way, one party as the party
of treason, the speaker added.
What is important" he said. \
"is regular consultation with the
minority party.
"One of the major weaknesses
of the Truman foreign policy
was the lack of such consultation
particularly on the Far East"
Asked to define the difference
between the policies of Secretary
Of State Dulles and former Sec
retary Acheson, Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen said he didn't like to call the
Acheson policy all black.
Mr.. Dulles, he continued, is a
better Secretary of State and has
the courage to stand up and take
an unpopular course before
troubles arise.
"Basically," he stressed, "the
difference is a positive point of
view under Dulles as against a
negative point Of view under
Acheson."
He said the Difference may be
only one of degrees "but our
position is more respected under
the leadership of Mr.. Dulles.
"It is all important" he told
the league, "that we have unity,
that we don't divide among our
selves, either as Republicans or
as Democrats.
We're great as a country be-
cause we are unified" he said.
Mrs. Walt Koran, wife of the
Representative from Washington
State. introduced the speaker.
Mrs. Edmund Kochersperger,
president of the league, presided
over the meeting, which was fol-
lowed by a luncheon in the
Chinese Room.

This was at odds with pub

quarters that Marshall Plan aid
might be the solution for Asia.
These suggestions created a
problem for the American dele
cation at the Western Henri

stirred up Latin American feel
