The
Rambler
Late Shoppers
Are Like This
BY JACK JONAS

About this time of year
there comes to nearly every
man the depressing realiza-
ton that he hasn't yet done
his Christmas shopping.
The stores are all but de-
pleted. The fact that his
pocketbook is also all but de-
pleted has nothing to do with
1t. Christmas shop he must.
At weeks end. a couple Of
fellows we're talking about
Christmas shopping, and one
of them remarked he hadn't
yet done his.
I've been in the midst OF a
financial report" he said.
"A financial report?"
Il was trying to figure out
how much money I have"
You mean you have
money!" his friend asked.
We'll, it's not that, but I
was trying to figure out how
much l could afford to spend" :"
You always spend more
than you can afford" his
friend said.
YES" was the reply, but I
was trying to figure whether l
had even that much"

Clergy, N Aides Reody
Cathedral for Services

Clergymen. choirboys and tele-
vision technicians we're bustling
through Washington Cathedral
most of today in preparation for
the traditional Christmas serv-
ices tonight and tomorrow.
The CHS television network
and 200 CHS radio stations will
carry the Christmas eve candle
light service tonight from 1880
pm. to 1890 am.
The NBC television network
will carry the Christmas Day
service at II am. tomorrow.
This morning Mrs. Alden K.
Sibley. head of the Cathedral
Flower Committee, supervised
workers putting red and white
poinsettias on the crossing steps,
flame colored and white gladioli
at the high altar and so cedar
trees at the crossing. in the sane
tuary. in the chapels and at and
flanking the altar.
James P. Berkeley, the Cathe-
dral verger, and boys of the Ca
thedral Choir we're carrying sew
eral hundred extra chairs from
the downstairs chapels up into
the nave and the sound transept
to accommodate the more than
5000 persons expected.
TV Cameras Placed
Television men, who had spent
the last 10 days laying cables,
were lining up nine cameras
in lofts and balconies. Other
workers we're concealing tele-
vision lights high in the ceiling.
The services. which have been
televised for years, have had
to come to terms with the new
medium. The choirboys and
iacolytes. who used to carry
candles in the candlelight pro-
cession. now carry battery-op-
Grated lights.
The Very Rev. Francis B..
Sayre. jr.. Cathedral Dean. will
be the celebrant tonight at the
communion service. while the
Right Rev. Angus Dun, Episco-
pal Bishop Of Washington. wiz
preach the sermon. They will
exchange the roles at tomor-

This morning, Dean Sayre di-
'rected the clergy and acolytes

To Be Toll Highway
McKeIdin Hopes
For Better Rate
On Bonds Later

BALTIMORE, Dec. "a (R.
Gov. McKeldin said today that
Maryland's SIS million north
eastern expressway would be n
nanced as a toll project, rather
than a free facility with Federal
highway funds.
The expreSSway would run
from Baltimore to the Delaware
line. roughly paralleling heavily
Travelled U. S. 40. Gov. McKeldin
said he was anxious to see it
started as soon as feasible and
80 are the members of the State
Roads Commission"
After Commission Chairman
Robert o. Bonnell reported De-
cember l3 that a method Of A.
nancing the 54-mile project had
not been settled. State Senator
William S. James, Democrat of
Hartford. contended the commits
sion was dragging its feet"
Bill Passed in 1855
Senator James introduced the
bill. passed by the 1855 General
Assembly. which gave the COM
mission authority to build the
road as toll facility.
The Governors statement
came in the wake of a meeting
with Mr.. Bonnell and other
commission officials last week.
Gov. McKeldin said the condi-
tion of the bond market was the
major factor in delaying start
of the road.
1T must be borne in mind" he
added. that the selling of bonds
for a major toll project is big
business and one that is deserv-
ing Of every consideration in
connection with the bond mar
ket and future toll income"
Sees Saving Possible
The governor also said IL
would be foolish in the mere
interest Of haste to commit our
selves over a period of years for
the payment of an interest rate
which well may be considerably
reduced as the result of a little
patience.
Mr.. Bonnell has expressed
hope that a trend toward inn
, lprovement in bond market might
, be seen by February or March.
The governor said the present
i market is not favorable, noting
i that as recently as December 4
Michigan received no bidders, on
3 highway bonds and Connecticut
had similar experience.

DOLEFULLY CONSIDER :
ING imitation, and the sad
fact that few things can be
purchased for a penny-except
one cigaret of certain brands
"a fellow of our acquaintance
came up with another Christ
mas suggestion.
do you realize" he asked,
that you can purchase quite
a few bees-I think as many
as 2S-for a penny?"
What better gift for the
apiarist on your Christmas
list than a colony of bees?
The bee suggestion, as a
matter Of fact, brings to mind
many interesting possibilities
1t might even be worth the
price to send a colony of bees
to the boss. 1t should be sent
to the Office, of course, because
you're certainly not angry with
the boss's family.
II the boss already has a
colony Of bees, you'll have to
fall back on something prosaic,
like the swimming pool. But
bees or swimming pool, the
time TO do the shopping is
now.

Christmas party. Why, it's

Il don't think so," the other

II. It's their money"
The argument batted back
and forth, until one of the
ladies shut it off with a bit of
logic that can come at Christ
mas time when cash is en-
visioned dangling from the
limbs of trees.
Well" she said, "the i'm
portant thing is that the
moneys being spent"
All of this gets us nowhere,
of course, with the unfortu-
nate who still must purchase
his gifts. A few suggestions
are in order. The shopping is
so simply dealt with that it
seems patiently obvious to
bring it up.
The District has, for ex-
ample, made it much easier to
present someone on your gift
list with a swimming pool.
You no longer need spend
$4,000 for a private pool. The
price has been cut by amend
ing regulations in some way
to slice the cost from the
original equipment needed.
You can make some heart
Joyous at this CHEEKY season by
spending the comparatively
minor sum of $4,000, and good
ness knows, come summer,
everybody will need a private
swimming pool.

Saves Prison
Guards S Life

VANCOUVER, BIC. A
Vancouver newspaperman
played an important part In
saving the life of a guard
at nearby Oakalla Prison
farm.
He bargained for five hours
with a trio of convicts be-
fore they agreed to take
away a razor from the throat
of a handcuffed guard, and
to release him.
The newspaperman, Bruce
Larsen, is city editor of the
Vancouver Province. He won
the guards release when he
promised to run an extra
edition, printing the charges
os the PRISONS that testi-
mony favorable to them had
been excluded at their trial.
The guard, Ernest Love
less, father of two children,
was held hostage for six
hours by Robert Tremblay,
Marcel ,Frenette and Charles
Talbot, all serving 20 year
sentences on a charge of at
tempted murder.
During the time Mr.. Love-
less was held hostage, the
inmates kept a razor at his
throat and a pair of shears
at his back.
The prisoners demanded
that prison officials call Mr..
Larsen. When he arrived, he
began the bargaining, and
finally gained the guards
release on the conviction
that the prisoners story be
told through the columns of
the Province.

OF the Union Army at the

Since that memorable day

derS stolidly moved into ac-
tion for reprisalS using as
human tools the black, race
as a handspring for a long
duration designed to repay
the nation in full for an ig-
nominious defeat that did
not preserve the institution of
slavery.
Decades after the Civil War,
a masterminding development
CT States Rights has made It's
way into the solid south and
border states that could not
be circumvented by Federal
legislation. A towering back
wash of racial segregation had
gained a foothold, in which
the nation as q whole aecep-
ted and nothing could be done
about it.
OnlookerS outside of the SOL
id south and border states
marVeled at the weakness of
the Federal Government in
withholding power of its three
branches to abolish a racial
Stigma that had gained
worldwide notice. because of
preachmentS to other nations
to lessen their racial tensions.
This was an international
bareback for America to take
stock and examine carefully
its own domestic problems,
among them segregation in
the solid south, border states
and the District of Columbia,
seat of the nations Govern
ment. This should not be con-

regime of any administration
since the Reconstruction era.

traversy in which their section
of the nation had been over
whelmed by a war, also prop
erty oequestered for W hic h
they did not receive remuner-
| alton. Historic memories of
that sad era have never faded.
Racial hatred became more
intense. Political demagogues
made matters worse by insis-
tent demands that the black
race of the solid South should
be ostracised and shunted in
to obscurity having no rights
a white man could respect.
Legislators and other lead
ers, who represented respective
states of the solid South and
border states in the national
Government furiouSly ignored
all legislative parliamentary
rules and deliberations to
make the nation understand
that the black race must stay
in a place of inequality! This
was a political never-ending
battle cry that widened de-
cade after decade until World
Wars l and II ended.
VETERANS HATED DILEMMA
Thousands of black soldiers
from the above jurisdictions
enlisted and were drafted for
