ably none knows more about the
Soviet mentality than Stassen. I
know men in the State Department
who are equally or better informed,
but they have never been in policy
making posts. I am aware, Of
course, that there are some editors
who disagree with me and some
who see Stassen only in terms Of
his role in domestic politics.
But those who have worked
closest with. Stassen during the
time he was the Presidents chief
disarmament adviser tell me there
are really two Stassens: (1) the
effective international diplomat
and negotiator (2) the less effec-
tive homefront political figure. It's
of the former that now write,
because I believe their evaluation
of the mans talents are correct.
How does Stassen size up the
situation that grew out Of the U-2
spy flight over Soviet Russia? His
views, as expressed to me, dealt
with developments as they were
up to about May 10, not with the
subsequent by-play in which Mr..
K. has engaged since President
Eisenhower's May IL press confer
ence.
But, think, Stassen's views are
worth recording because they deal
with a rather fundamental ques-
ton: Why was this flight made
Just a short time before the Sum-
init" conference?
In Stassen's opinion there Is
little doubt that this plane was
sent to Russia on orders Of certain
military-minded men who were in
tent on disrupting the summit
conference. AS he thought back
to his days as a presidential dis
armament negotiator, stassen re-
called that this was not the first
time something like this has hap
pened. There are many men in the
Pentagon and elsewhere In the
government who would Ike to see
a hardening Of attitudes on both
sides Of the cold war. Stassen be-
lieves they prevail entirely too
much.
WHAT sTAssEN SAID - II
you bear in mind that his words
were uttered before Mr.. X. made
his bellicose remarks about Presi-
dent Eisenhower, you get some
dea Of how prophetic stassen has
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-05-27

been in sizing up the situation.
This is what Stassen had to say:
Anybody high enough to have
the authority to order this flight
should have had the judgment to
know of its provocative character
and that it would be disruptive OF
the summit meeting.
These officers (the military
are not blind to its meaning. It
appears that they are taking for
eign policy into their hands by
indirection. Therefore, it leads me
to question whether it was not
done for the purpose Of upsetting
the summit and was not meant
to freeze the attitude Of both sides
in the cold war.
These officers have a right to
their opinions but they do not have
the right to take foreign policy
into their own hands against the
decided policy Of the President and
the US. Senate"
Despite the many words that
have been uttered on the subject
we still have not been told why
this flight was ordered at this
particular time. What was 30 ter
ribly important that it superseded
the possible success Of the summit
meeting itself?
I realize, Of course, that Mr.. X.
has been milking this situation for
all that 1t Is worth. He may have
his own internal situation in Rus
STA that is causing him to behave
in this fashion. But that still does
not excuse our ineptness, II that
is what it was.
The President himself contrib
uted very little to public enlighten-
ment by saying that he ordered
the Central Intelligence Agency,
or other espionage agencies, to go
ahead and do whatever was nee
essary in order to find out what
was going on behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Khrushchev, for his own rea-
sons, prefers to believe this Is 80.
But I am more inclined to believe
The White House was telling the
truth when It said the President
did not know a thing about the
flight of Pilot Francis Powers
plane, or even that the plane was
missing.

Strange Heritage of the Christmas Tree

Exchanging gifts at Christmas

During the 10th Century they
began combining the two symbols,
usually adding beneath the tree
the Christmas Crib which former

American homes after the first

Most traditions are children of
strange ancestry, and the two
most popular Christmas customs
Santa Claus and the Christmas
Tree = may have the strangest
heritage of them all.
Does it come as a surprise that
the lighted tree is entirely Chris
tan in origin while the jolly fig
ure sometimes called Nick was
born of Pagan parents?
True, the name Santa Claus is
derived from St. NicholaS-or
Sinter Klaas, as the Dutch called
him. But the Saint and the Elf
have nothing in common except
the name.
This is how they came to be
joined in Christmas lore:
For years the Feast of St.
Nicholas, Dec. 6, was observed in
Europe by giving gifts to children.
He is their Patron Saint, and the
custom still is practiced in some
European countries.
Few historical facts are known
about the Saint. He was Bishop
of Myra in Asia Minor and died
about the year $50. He was an
orphan, and a generally accepted
legend is he often helped poor
children by slipping coins through
their windows at night.
Dutch immigrants to America
brought the traditional Dec. 5
"Visit from St. Nicholas" to their
colony of New Amsterdam. They
had chung to the custom even
after the reformation.
Later, when the English found
ed the Colony of New York in
the same territory, their children
liked the idea of nocturnal
visitor coming to their homes,
too.
But the idea of a bishop was
disagreeable to the New Workers,
many of whom were Presby-
terians. Also, they did not cele-
brate feasts Of Saints.
In the withered pages of Ger
manic Folklore, familiar to these
Anglo-Saxons, was the Pagan God
Thor.
He was the God of the peasants;
an elderly, jovial man with a long
white beard. His color was red,
his element was fire, and the
hearth was sacred to him. On the
occasions when he left his home
among the icebergs of the north
land, he frequently would come
down chimneys into his element

Stocks Stage
Fair Recovery;
Trading Firm

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 (AP)
by electronic-missile-
rocket shares, the stock market
staged a fair recovery in mod
crate trading early this after
noon.
The rocket launchings by the
United States and Russia drew
attention once more to the
Science" issues involved in the
national space effort.
At the same time, steels, mo-
tors, oils, rails and other key
stocks acquitted themselves well
although not sensationally.
Brokers saw ample grounds
for a technical rebound since
the market has risen only twice
thus far in 1860. Many stocks,
including the space age issues,
were down enough to attract
speculative demand.
Aircrafts, tobaccos, building
materials and an assortment
Of selected stocks were on the
upgrade. Gains among the
pivotal stocks were fractions to
a point or so while a few sec
ondary issues were up 2 or
three points.
Corporate bonds advanced
slightly. Government bonds
took small losses.
