LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM SAD AND DESERTED THIS YEAR
By TOM MAsTERsoN

BETHLEHEM, Jordon, R-The little town of Bethlehem stood bleak, sad and deserted on its hilltop today. Pilgrims are stay ing away in droves.
 Recent events in Egypt and the still-smoldering tension gripping the Middle East have stopped them. But the age-old reenact- ment of the birth of Christ in a stable will go on--with one mi nor change.
 When Mary travelled south from her home in Nazareth, she and Joseph found little Bethleham crowded with foreign visitors.
 Turned away from an inn, they found shelter in a stable beneath it.
 That's the way Bethlehem and other towns in the Holy Land have been since Christians began celebrating Christmas here. But that will not be SC this Christmas.
 In past years it was necessary to reserve a hotel room in .Jeru- salem six months in advance and perhaps not get it then. Today, tourist hotels are virtually empty. Instead of the usual 5000 or 1000 foreign pilgrims, there will be only couple of hundred.
 Getting ready for the elaborate Christmas spectacle bald, white whiskered Franciscan monk has rubbed cloth over the silver star marking the traditional spot where Christ was born.
 He told a visitor he could not remember exactly how many years he had served in the 1,500 year-old Church of the Nativity. Interested only in his job, he did not seem much concerned about the lack of tourists and observed:
 ''If the good Lord had chosen this year to send his Son to save us, Mary and Joseph would have found plenty of room to stay"
 He reflected moment. added:
 'sThen Jesus would not have been born in stable"

Navy Paymaster Helps Stranded Airmen Get Home for Christmas

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Thanks to an Air Force policeman and a Navy paymaster, about 20 strand ed airmen without funds found their way home for Christmas.
 The Air Force men landed here from the Far East with railroad tickets but no money for meals on the way home.
 One of them said: "In Japan we were told we would be paid in San Francisco. Now we are here and broke and are told we should have been paid in Japan"
 Airman l. C. William Brown, of the Armed Forces Patrol, saw the men standing around the ferry building and asked if he could be of help.
 He took them in the paddy wagon to the federal office build ing where Navy Paymaster H. N. Lindemann asked for their pay records-then paid them their earnings to date.
 i've done this before," Linde- mann said. "The central account ing office in Washington will straighten out the Navy-Air Force records on this matter"

Prime Ministers Of India, Canada Talk Privately

OTTAWA, R-Prime Ministers Nehru of India and St. Laurent of Canada met privately Saturday for discussion of tensions in the British Commonwealth and of threats to world peace.
 The meeting began at St. Laur- ent's executive office in Parlia- ment and continued thru a lunch con at the Prime Ministers resi- dence.
 India has been annoyed at the role of Britain in the Suez Canal and Middle East hostilities, but none of this anger has spilled over toward Canada. Canadian off cials viewed the private talks as an unusual opportunity for Can- ada to act as a friendly link be- tween India and Britain.
 Coming on top of Nehru's six day American visit, the talks also were expected to range over broad fields including Communist China, the SEATO and Baghdad Facts, Cyprus, and the question of the Indian minority in the Union of South Africa.

evening. with seldom-heard songs
of Schubert. Mendelssohn. and
Schumann. and with singing that
recalled the art of Elizabeth
Schumann and Lotto Lehman.
Source Of Delight
The Schubert Viola" is a sus-
tanned drama in itself, and Miss
Troxell revealed its moods mas
Iterfully. Sung with impeccable
taste. Memberships songs with
words were a source Of discoV-
ery and delight for the listener.
In addition to difficult figura-
tons, Purcell demands from a
singer exceptional ability to sing
free and rhapsodic lines with
musical point and perception.
With her singing Of three arias
from dramatic works of Purcell
Miss Troxell began the evening
on a high point that never sub
sided.
| Although they can hardly be
classed with the vocal MASTER
pieces of Purcell. Schubert and
Schumann, the last two groups
of songs Of Britten and Hinde-
NTH were impressive when sung
las well as Miss Troxell did them.
With lesser artistry and control
they would have seemed unvocal.
Miss Troxell was duly aware
bof the important role filled by
Thor Kozma at the piano.
Though unobtrusive in manner,
Mr.. Kozma's part was that Of
a coperformer of high order and
musicianship.

THE mems choir concerned It
self almost entirely with MASTER
pieces Of the 10th century, that

The Child Welfare League Of

to transport babies and expect

purpose of placing children in

The recommendation was made
yesterday in a report, based on q

Overhaul of adoption laws to
wipe out the "black and gray"

The report said about 10000
