POLAR CHECKUP
FAA Gives
Suntu Top
Pilot Rutinq
BY DAVID BREASTED
Star stan Writer

Federal Aviation Agency Of
flcials recently paused to con-
slider the annual air cargo OPP
Grafton Of one Claus. s.
The elderly gentleman takes
OF on Q prodigious fight the
night Of each December a. to
make his global deliveries.
But never in the memory OF
man has he bothered to file
a flight plan, let alone have
his equipment inspected and
certified. Nor had the FAA
contemplated the matter until
the other day.
Was Mr.. Claus remisS in not
applying for his papers? Not
at all, said an agency spokes-
man. In fact. he said. the FAA
might well award Mr.. Claus
full clearance in all depart
ments.
The possibilities raised by
the inquiry were intriguing.
We'll" mused Charles C..
Prill. deputy director Of fight
standards. whats Mr.. Claus
pilot rating. for instance? Is
he certificated for operation
with eight reindeer. and what
about the 'power-ott' perform
ance Of that sled?
Whats his maximum per-
mitted flying time for one
night? Normally, we have to
examine maintenance and &C
cident records, and other things
like how low a ceiling an air.
craft can safely operate under"
Then to the rescue came
David Boyer, here on leave
from the FAA's Alaskan di-
vision, based in Anchorage.
He maintained he had checked
out veteran aviator Claus from
A to z at that jovial gentle
mans North Pole base.
Mr.. Boyer declared he had
already issued Mr.. Claus an
airworthiness certificate for his
sled, and a pilots license, on
the spot-with certain provi-
Sions for the unusual nature
Of the annual fight.
AS for such trifles as the
"power-off performance" of
Dancer, Prancer and company,
he reported that Mr.. Claus
often had maintained altitude
with two reindeer in the sled
beside him.
He has q tremendous safety
record" said the FAA's Alaskan
operative.
Flying at his age? He's just
prematurely gray"

Hears Smith Tell
Of Renewal PIuns

Alexandria's Old Town bus
ness district, when redeveloped,
will not attempt to compete
with outlying shopping centers,
Martin Smith. urban renewal
director, said last night.
Instead, he said, the King
street district between WASH
ington and Fairfax streets will
aim at serving q built-in Glen
tele Of nearby. residents and
tourists.
Mr.. Smith outlined his pro-
poSals for redeveloping q "a
square-block area before nearly
100 residents at a City Hall ses-
sion sponsored by the Old Town
Civic Association.
He emphasized that planning
is still at q concept" stage
awaiting city council approval
before detailed work can begin.
The council has held up ap-
proval pending a report from
its citizens advistory commit
tee.
The 15-member committee
will forward its approval of the
concept" to the council Tues
day night.
Mr.. Smith promised to work
closely with the community in
drafting a final plan for ap-
proval by Federal renewal Of
flcials in June.
In response to questions, he
said underground parking for
city employees is a possibility
in the area adjacent to City
Hall. The facility, he said
would make room for a plaza
serving as a formal entrance
to the structure.
He said traffic flow around
the renewal area will be aimed
at steering motorists, particu-
larly tourists, into the Old
Town sector.
Mr.. Smith said apartment
structures will be held to about
six stories along Washington
street, lower elsewhere.
In an earlier report, he esti-
mated redevelopment work on
the project would cost the city
nearly 50 million. He declined
to say how long the redevelop-
ment effort would take.
Rehabilitation of residential
property by owners could be
expected to take nearly q dec
ade. Mr.. Smith said.
The cost Of rehabilitation
OF existing property and new
construction by private in
dustry called for in the CON |
cept" would be nearly SIS mil

OF the Old Town Association,

The
Rambler
Gets the
Christmas Spirit
By GEORGE KENNEDY

By GEORGE KENNEDY
Faith is the first Of the
three virtues.
It is a wonderful expe-
rience.
Faith was renewed for the
Rambler on Wednesday after
noon.
He finally got the call.
He had tried out for Santa
Claus at Woodward and
Lothrop's.
He was not asked to come
back.
Perhaps it was due to what
the psychologists call insecu-
rity.
The professional santa
Clauses might not want a
man with q real beard getting
into the racket.
The call came when Mary
McGrory asked him to play
Santa Claus for st. AIMS
Infant Asylum.
For more than 10 years, a
dozen to be correct, she has
been giving the infants Of
st. AIMS picnics and parties.
Unable TO pronounce Nc
Grory, they have called her
MARY Gloria" q name that
fits her role.
Mary was producer, play
wright, stage director and
apprehensive as she gave the
Rambler his lines.
Evening star., 1960-12-23

THEY WERE ALL so clean
and clear eyed and well
dressed. One tiny blond,
clothed in white, looked like
a 500 doll. There were 20 Of
them, girls and boys. Right
away they provided an illus
tration of the social contract.
The ones who were so scared
soon realized that the ones
crowding around Santa were
not getting hurt, so they
crowded in behind.
Those in front weren't
pushy. They weren't demand
ing. They loved Santa Claus.
They sat on his knee and
pulled at his beard. They fell
into that error of pre-Hege-
lian logic, or orderly thinking.
The beard was real, so tpso
tacto, this is the real Santa
Claus.
Little blue eyes, little brown
eyes, little in-between eyes,
looking up at you with affec-
ton and confidence.
There was no grabbing or
jostling in the distribution Of
the presents. They were all
delighted to get anything.
One little girl who drew a
doll asked for SILLY Putty"
one of the less expensive
presents. But all the Silly
Putty was gone.
In their response to the
gifts they provided another
little lesson in the develop
ment Of society. The minority
who failed to say Thank
you" and it was only be-
cause of Shyness - were
quickly reminded of their
manners by the majority.
Everyone conformed before
leaving Santa's knee.
Institutionalized because of
broken homes, death or sep
aration of parents, illegiti-
macy or miscegenation, they
were wonderful human be-
ings. Their faith in Santa
Claus kindled in him a re-
newed faith in man. And
faith in man is faith in God.

cancies it will be most helpful, {"
he commented. THE depart
ment has taken many steps to
curb crime. We've put more
cars Of the streets, both from
the detective bureau and the
precincts, and many men are
working more hours.
He pointed out that overall
crime figures for this year are
lower than in any year from
1949 through 1854.
"Greatest Deterrent"
Inspector John E. Winters
notes that there's no doubt at
all in my mind that the greatest
deterrent to crime is uniformed
policemen. No crime will be
committed on the street if a
patrolman is at the corner"
"If we could get more police
on the street, we would Ger
tainly decrease the number Of
crimes" added Inspector
Aubrey M. Tolson.
Capt. Alexander s. Douglass,
who toured West Virginia in
November seeking new candi-
dates for the police force, said
he was encouraged by the
number Of letters he had re-
ceived so far seeking additional
information about the force.
Economic troubles which
drive some people or steal or
rob were mentioned by some
officers as a factor in the crime
rise.
You ask me why there's
been an increase in robberies
last month (150 from I'D, and
I'll give you one word-employ-
ment." 1t. Murray Kutner, act
ing head Of the robbery squad,
said.
He said his squad finds a
definite relationship between
economic well being and TIE
number Of robberies committe.a /.
Add to this the fact th:t
November is near the holiday
season, and there people are
out Of work, and want to have
something to spend" 1t. Kut-
ner sair, land we find that
purse snatchings and yokings
increase" He said holdups had

H0usebreakings Mount
Another official agreed that
the economic factor was consid-
cradle. but he believed the in
crease was part of a Nation
wide trend growing out Of an
increasing exodus from cities.
AT one time, we had a large
moral middle class" he said.
Nov our middle class is
shrinking in Washington, and
we have a large lower class,
with weak family ties, who live
in an environment where crime
is part Of the way Of life"
Inspector Winters acknowl-
edged that juveniles have
played a part in the increasing
number of auto thefts (2l4
from 159) and robberies. He
said the most important factor
in crime prevention is to keep
kids out Of trouble"
Inspector Winters repeated
his belief that if it can be
proven that a child is in trouble
because Of a parents ire
Sponsibility, the parent should
be held liable for the child's
actions.
The biggest increase was in
the number Of housebreakings
(405 from 1927. Capt. Charles
L. Pemberton of the general
assignment squad could find no
definite cause.
you just have to guess Why
he said. There are so many
factors involved in causation,
that anybody who thinks he
knows the answer is deceiving
himself"
Inspector Tolson said one of
the reasons for the increase in
the number Of petty larcenies
(766 from 596) was the great
temptation offered in super
and other SelfService
establishments.
