1t was the first time an official
indication had been given that
the mass production of these
weapons had reached such stage.
Mainly because of the growing
number of these weapons and the
increased destructive ability of
them, the administration is eager
to arrange some sort of conference
with the Russians, and others,
aimed at international control of
atomic and hydrogen weapons. The
Reds say they favor a ban on the
use of these new bombs, on the
order Of the Geneva Agreement
outlawing the use of poison gas.
Toward this end the admins
tration is now moving hoping that
international control of these ter
rible weapons will safeguard U. S.
cities and prevent the slaughter Of
millions of civilians sure to result
in indiscriminate atomic warfare.

Looking Back On 1853
Peace Prospects improved
Business Prophets Wrong
Foreign Policy Setbacks-

Washington, January 13-January
is the month for recapitulations.
Business experts look back over
the past year to see how their pre-
dictionS PANIED out, administration
leaders figure up their won-and-
lost percentage, and the executive
branch of the government reviews
its conduct in the field of foreign
affairs and presents a program for
the new year.
Looking back over 1858, business
prophets find they were wrong in
setting the first six months of the
year as the period for a recession.
Later some of the predictions were
changed to the latter half of the
year but even some of these were
off In trying to piece together a
clear picture for 1854 these mis-
calculations are now being taken
into account by government eX-
perts, who see another good year
in 1854.
The average administration lead
er in Washington is not pessimis-
tic about business developments
Most of the top officials agree with
Sen. William Knowland that bust
ness will be off less than five per
cent in 1854, and many of them
look for a business surge in mid
year.

success in West Germany, when
German voters ratified the policies

Islanders Are First To See Every New Year

Residents of Chatham Islands, New Zealand, are always the first to welcome in the New Year. This particular distinction is brought about by the fact that the Islands lie just east of the starting point of time-the Admira1ty's date line. It is made to curve east and west of the 180th meridian in such a way that it lies always in the ocean.
 The year 1855 will leave the islands and race westward along the equator at speed of 1000 miles per hour. At 12:01 on Jan uary l, 1855. in the islands, it will still be the last day of the year 1854 in New York and London. The milkman will be making his am rounds in New York and Big Ben will be striking the noon hour for Londoners.
 By the time the New Year reaches the bowling mob in Times Square, the Chatham Islanders will be preparing to set down to their New Years day feast.

New Year Gatherings Are Ancient Tradition

Gathering with family n d friends to celebrate the New Year is a custom older than when the date January l became accepted as the first day of the year
 Watching the old year out and the new year in is one of the old est and most universal of all cele- brations. The ancient Romans got together, although they celebrated the New Year in the spring, to wish each other health, wealth and hap piness in the days ahead.
 And, long before this time, the Vikings built huge fires at the turn of the year to propitiate their fierce Morse gods.

Washington Began Open HouseCusto

Some historians credit George Washington with starting the GUS tom of receiving friends, and hold ing "open house" on New Year S Day.
 The first president, began this custom in 1790, when New York was the seat of the government. He made a practice of opening the doors of the presidential mansion for a reception on each New Years S Day. Home and foreign diplomats were invited as well as the local citizenry.
