The executive committee found
Santee guilty of accepting about
$500 In excess of the allowed

THE action was a slap in the

"Koenigsdorf is a good AAU
man and once he sees all the
facts of the case, he'll agree with
us" Ferris observed.
BY way of keeping Santee out
of competition. Ferris sent a
telegram to all meet promoters
warning them they would lose
their AAU sanction forever" If
they permitted Santee to run.
Ferris admitted he took the ac-

Just Verdict

1t is not surprising that Jury in a
New York State court could find no reason
to recommend mercy for Angelo LaMarca,
kidnaper-killer Of the Weinberger baby.
The failure to make such a recommen-
dation means an automatic death sem
tence for the cab driver-himself the
father Of two young children. LaMarca's
shocking crime was callously conceived
and brutally carried out. Even while he
was assuring the anguiShed mother by
telephone that her infant was well and
would be returned safe and sound, the
child lay dead or dying in a patch OF
underbrush where the kidnaper had
dumped him Immediately after the abb
duction. LaMarca's later confession and
expressions Of regret came only after he
had learned OF the overwhelming evil
dence against him collected by the FBI
and police. The Jury was fully Justified
In holding that the killers belated con-
triton could not erase the horror Of hts

Darkness is not all bad. Think
of the treasures in the So-called
Dark Ages, as the angels of
light guarded the crown jewels
of the Highest and the Best.
Does not the strength to walk
in the light come mostly to
weary bodies in the dark, when
sleep binds up the raveled
sleeve of care? Anne Morrow
Lindbergh writes hauntingly of
the peace of soul she found in
the speaking solitude of nights
spent under the watchful stars,
among the mountains and by
the murmuring sea. Yes, there
are treasures of the dark.
And so this Advent Month,
when the world halls the COM
ing Of the Light, it is also a
part Of Christmas to acknowl-
edge and to be grateful for the
treasures Of the dark. AS one,
who was a radiant herald Of
the Light Of the World. think
ing Of the treasures he had
found in the encircling gloom,
put It: THE dark has many
dear avails. The dark is full
OF nightingales." There are
songsters whose soaring notes
are heard chiefly in the night.

his blindness he brought light
