IOn PeaceShip
Measure Today
By the Associated Press

The House may vote today on
a compromise proposal to give
President Eisenhower the atomic
powered peace ship he has re-
Ipeatedly requested.
On the calendar, for consid-
Ieration If other measures are
disposed of In time. is a bill by
Representative Bonner, Demo-
lcrat of North Carolina, to au-
lthorize both the atomic display
vessel and another nuclear-pow-
|ered experimental merchant ship
advocated by many Democrats.
Congress has turned down the
President twice. in House COM
|mittee and In the Senate. on his
plans to use an existing type Of
atomic power plant in an old hull
for a quickly turned out floating
display of peacetime A-power.
The purpose is to demonstrate
|peacetime atomic power through
out the world.
Viewed as "Stunt"
Democrats contend this would
be merely a stunt" and are
holding out for the construction
of a newly designed forerunner
of an atomic-powered merchant
marine.
Mr.. Bonner combined the two
proposals in his measure be-
cause. he said, he wanted to
advance the merchant marine
project without rejecting the
Presidents project. He estimated
the peace ship would cost around
$21 million.
The measure was scheduled
for House action under suspen-
sion of rules. This means that
only MIR. Bonner can amend it.
Otherwise the House must ac-I
cept the bill as 1t stands, by q
two-thirds vote. or reject it.
Mr.. Bonner and Representa-
tive Tollefson. Republican Of
Washington, senior members Of
the House Merchant Marine
c Committee. have strongly backed
the bill.
Report IndOrsed
But the committee majority
last month indorsed a report
predicting that an economically
practical atom ship is Is to 20l
years away. Nuclear power has
only remote potentialities for
cargo ships, although it might
be practical for large passenger
liners. the report said.
The Senate Commerce Com
mittee Is to consider Wednesday
a measure to authorize the mer-
chant marine vessel. It Is spon-
sored by Senators Magnuson.

ents, Democrat of Kentucky

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK CLoBY

Long Beach: In a letter to q
local paper one A. M. C. declares
that the word "Americanism"
has no official definition and
should be relegated to the scrap
heap Of old saws. What do you
say?-J. H. S.
Answer: See "Americanism, "
page "a. Webster's New Interna-
tional: "(D Attachment or
loyalty to the United States, its
traditions, interests, or ideals.
(2) Custom peculiar to the
United States or to America: an

opened the queen of spades
which was won in the closed
hand with the king. Mr.. Abel
looked things over and saw that
he had eight tricks in high
cards-two spades. two clubs,
three diamonds and a heart. He
decided the heart suit offered
the best chance for the ninth
trick.
The plan he had in mind was
to lead a low heart and play the
nine from dummy If Mr.. Dale
played small card-hoping
that Mr.. Dale would have the
ten and one of the other out
standing honors. If that were
the case. the nine would force
the play of Mr.. Masters honor
and the ace-jack in dummy
would then form a perfect tenace
over Mr.. Dale's holding.
SO at trick two Mr.. Abel led
the deuce of hearts. Mr.. Dale
had his play all ready. In fact.
he had planned it from the mo-
ment the dummy went down on
the table. He promptly. played
the queen of hearts
b4Ie had anticipated the finesse
of sdummy's nine, and since he
held the ten himself he knew
that finesse would work. He
hoped to induce Mr.. Abel toI
think he was splitting his
honors-playing the queen from
a holding of king-queen.
That is exactly what Mr.. Abel
did think. He won with the aceI
of hearts in dummy, returned toI
his hand with the ace of dia-
rnonds and led the five Of hearts.
MI. Dale played the four and the
Jack was put up in dummy. Mr..
Masters won with the king and
led back a spade. Mr.. Dale's ten
of spades was permitted to win
and another spade lead knocked
out the ace, dummy's last entry.
. Eventually MR. Dale won an
other heart trick J with his ten,
Plus a spade and a club to de-
feat the contract.
Mr.. Abel had won just a sin
gle trick In the heart suit instead
I Of the three tricks he would
have won if Mr.. Dale had played
the four spot on the first heart
lead.

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
ROME, Dec. 12.-Christmas
in Italy is the day when the
family bond is closest.
On Christmas eve, before the
eager eyes of the children,
mother and father construct a
model of the Nativity scene.
This "Presepio" is to Italian
children what the Christmas tree
Is to Americans, although the
foreign custom of Christmas
trees is spreading even here.
Usually the Presepio shows the
Child in a wooden or rock man
ger. An OK and a donkey flank
the manger. Around it, kings
and shepherds kneel in venera-
ton. Colored lights shine on the
scene.
In poor homes the Presepio
may be of cardboard. Among
rich mobiles there may be ex-
pensive hand carvings. But al
ways there is the Presepio.
Babbo Natalie Gather Christ
mas is known in Italy but it is
the Gesu Bambino (the Infant
Jesus) who lays presents beside
the heads of sleeping children
before they awaken Christmas
morning.
Thus begins Christmas, the
one day Of the year in which
every Italian is expected to rest
at home with his family.
Through the day the family
group plays cards. talks and
Jokes, drinks coffee and eats
candies or sweets.
Sweets vary from city to city
but everyone must have "panet-
tone" This is a sweet bread
with raisins and candied fruit
which has spread from Milan
across the world. Thousands
are shipped to the United States
for Italo-American Christmas
celebrations there.

OF these, 1870 jobs were filled

The Nativity in Italy
Truly a Family Affair

In Sicily. "cassata," an ict

Cremona they eat toffee. Choco.

There is no traditional menu
for the meals. Whatever mother

There is far less emphasis or

the United States. However
tradition calls for presents tc
those who have done you serv-
ices during the year. The post.

THE PERFECT GIFT
FOR THIS MOMENT
IN THIS WORLD

This Christmas you can give those you
love Bible they'll turn to twice as often
because it's written in the language we
use today: the Revised Standard Neysion.
In the 344 years since the King James
translation, new discoveries Of ancient
manuscripts have shed added light on the
Scriptures. Because the RSVB is based
on such manuscripts-some older than
any previously known-it is, in a sense
our oldesf Bible. and also our most
accurate.
Also, hundreds ofwords have changed
in meaning through the ages. In the
RSVB direct, understandable language
replaces confusing expressions, yet still
preserves the Scriptures timeless beauty.
Ask your book dealer for the RSY
Bible. 1t solves your gift problems in
minutes. And you'll be long remembered
for such a treasured gift.

The Promise OF Herod
The story goes on: "The King said unto
the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt
and will give it thee. And he sware unto
her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask Of me, will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom
And she went forth and said unto her
mother: What shall ask. And she said.
The head of John the Baptist. And she
came straightway with haste unto the King
and asked, saying; will that thou give me
by and by in a charger the head OF John
the Baptist. And the King was exceeding
sorry, yet for his oaths sake and for their
sakes which sat with him, he would not
reject her" mark vi, 22-26.)
When John died, his disciples received
permission to take away his remains. A
very old tradition says that he was buried
in the country of the Samaritans, and at
Sebastia, the old Samaria, there is church
now converted into mosque which COM
memorates the Forerunner.
Then they told Jesus, says the Gospel,
but we are not told how He received the
news.
He had nothing to learn about Herod, He
knew him already, and we too can clearly
see in the narrative the tyrant, alternately
violent and vacillating, who will one day
during the trial have Jesus at his mercy for
a brief space.
Nor could the news teach Him anything
about the fate meted out to prophets; He
knew better than anyone the path on
which He was set.
