Mighty MistIefoe

Perhaps the reason that most
young ladies do not object too
strongly to paying the penalty for
standing beneath the mistletoe
stems from an ancient supersti-
tion-that the maiden who was
not kissed at least one time be-
meath the mistletoe at Christmas
would not be married in the fol-
lowing year. In olden times, a
berry was plucked from the
mistletoe with each kiss.

Christmas Question

For some reason, most of us
have come to look upon the
first day of the year as the
ideal time for examination of
conscience and for the setting
up of a new set of ideals.
Would not Christmas be
much better time? What better
time than Christmas for all
of us to ask this question Of
ourselves; "What am 1 con-
tributing to my fellow man;
to Christianity; and to the
world in which l live?"

Biblical Star
Still Puzzles
Astronomers

The mystery of the Biblical Star
of Bethlehem has for centuries
intrigued scholars and astrono-
mers.
Some scholars believe it may
have been a supernova, or ex-
ploding star Others think it might
have been a comet or perhaps a
conjunction of the bright planets
Jupiter and Saturn.
If it was a supernova in the
Milky Way, astronomers say, it
would have unquestionably filed
ancient stargazers with awe and
the feeling that a great event
might be taking place.
A ''nova" implies a new star,
but actually is not. 1t is rather an
old star that suddenly flares up
in a display 10000 to $4,000 times
brighter than the sun. A super
nova is about 100 million times
more brilliant than the sun.
Guest Star
Japanese and Chinese docu-
ments report a guest star" SO
bright it could be seen in daylight,
appeared in July, 1854. This, no
doubt, was a supernova, astrono-
mers say.
Astronomers Go not know what
causes a supernova. One theory
is that the stars supply of hydro
gen becomes exhausted. AS the
star contracts, the core tempera-
ture rises to ITO million degrees
centigrade. The incredible tenn
perature sets off helium fusion
processes, and the star becomes
a huge nuclear fusion reactor
which eventually flies to pieces.

Since the trial probably
would take more than a month,

BROWN
Khrushchev's Twists and Turns

was followed up by preSsures
on Washington for an ex-
change of visits between
President Eisenhower and
the Soviet boss. For this pur-
pose Khrushchev varied his
tactics. He carried the Red
peace dove in his hand for
a little while. When his mild
and kind words did not sue
coed, especially after his
sharp encounters last year
with visiting Vice President
Nixon, he resumed his blood
and thunder tactics. This re-
suited in his obtaining an
invitation to visit America
and the promise of Mr.. Eli
senhower to return the call.
Other Western leaders -
and particularly Frances
tough Gen. de Gaulle-felt
compelled to invite the Red
boss, too. Italy's president
Gronchi was also enticed to
go to Moscow, only to be in
suited by his host. But the
second phase of this skillful
plan to establish the prestige
of the butcher of Budapest
in the free world succeeded.
The polite, stern reception
he received from De Gaulle
convinced Khrushchev that
he won't have much chance
to get the Big Three to
knuckle under to his threats
at the forthcoming meeting
in Paris. AS a last effort to
intimidate the Western pow
ers and also to prepare a sue
cessful exit from Paris this
month, he took advantage of
the flight of an innocent
American civilian plane to
shoot it down.
After having created and
capitalized on this incident
in a Madison Avenue spec
tacular manner, Khrushchev
feels that regardless of what
happens in Paris he will come
out on top.

States Held
Bound by Law

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, May 7
(AP).-States are units of the
Nation and are held to the
commands of the national Con-
Stitution and pertinent national
laws, a Supreme Court justice
declared today.
Justice William j. Brennan,
jr., said in an address prepared
for the Florida bar convention
that the States which formed
the national Constitution COR
dained this when they agreed
in that document to the SUI
premacy Of the national Con-
Stitution and national laws"
The national Government
might have reserved that func-'
ton to Congress or to some
special tribunal, he added, but
the fact is the very first Con-
gresS, in the Judiciary Act Of
1889, directed that this func-,
ton should be performed by
the Supreme Court of the
United States"
Justice Brennan said the
court did not arrogate this
function to itself, that Congress
directed the court to assume it.
"The work of the Supreme
Court must not divert at
tention from the vital impor-
lance of the work of the State
courts in the administration Of
justice" he said. Actually, the
composite work of the courts
of the so States probably has
greater significance in meaSur-
ing how well America attains
the ideal of equal justice for
ALL"
The court filed SO opinions
last term, he reported, an aver
age of IL for each justice.
There were also Sc dissenting
opinions, % concurring opin-
ions and IL separate opinions,
a total of 1874 for the term.
Justices, he added, are
equally devoted, conscien-
tiouSly devoted to the sincere
and continuing effort to arrive
| at truth-at justice"

Envoy Recalled
For Consultations

Joseph S. Farland, United
States Ambassador to the Do
minican Republic, has been re-
called for consultations over
strained relations with the
Caribbean nation.
Among the top items to be
discussed with Mr.. Farland at
the State Department was the
Dominican Republics expul-
sion of Carl E. Davis, Ameri-
can Embassy press officer. Mr.,
Davis was said to have given a
British newsman information
hostile to the dictatorship of
Rafael Trujillo.
Mr.. Farland, who was in
Washington for similar talks
two months ago, is due here
tomorrow. The State Depart
ment said it was assumed Mr..
Farland would return to his
post after the latest consulta-
tons.

Williams Hits
Change in Bill
By the Associated Press

Senator Williams Republi-
can Of Delaware, bristled today
over what he termed the com
plete rejection" of his amend
ment to force publication of
individual expense accounts of
members of Congress on their
foreign travels.
He said the blow was dealt
yesterday at a meeting of SEN
ate and House conferees which
brought out a compromise for
eign aid bill after reconciling
differences in the two versions.
The Senate had approved,
$50. the Williams amendment,
WHICH would require Senate
and House committee chairmen
to file each year the total
itemized expenditures of the
preceding year of each COM
mittee and subcommittee land
of each member and employee"
in both Senate and House.
House conferees accepted the
amendment yesterday, with
notifications"
What they did," Senator
Williams said, was to modify
my amendment completely out
of the bill"
Somebody surrendered" he
told a reporter, " I don't know
who it was. But I'm going to
express my disappointment
when the compromise bill
comes up in the Senate"
The present requirement is
that each committee chairman
shall prepare and publish a
consolidated report showing
the total expenditures of United
States-held foreign currencieS
of each committee and subcom-
mittee.
The Williams amendment
would require similar reports
covering spending of American
dollars as well as foreign cur
rencies, and individual break
downs.
The conference committee
change leaves in the require
ment for reporting dollar as
well as foreign currency spend
ing, but eliminates the need for
publication of individual ex-
penSe accounts.
1T completely eliminates the
purpose for which the amend
ment was intended. Senator
Williams charged.

place at all.
Mr.. Hoffa apparently believes
that time is on his side. He
hopes to discourage his antag-
onists. And he expects to build
up political pressure to dis
solve the board of monitors
that impinges on his control
of the 1.6 million member
union.
Accused on Union Funds
The court-appointed moni-
tors want to put Mr.. Hoffa on
trial in Federal court on
charges that he misused $780,
600 of union funds in a Florida
real estate venture. If the
charges are proved, the mont
tors contend, Mr.. Hoffa should
be removed from Office by court
action.
The Court Of Appeals sched-
uled arguments yesterday for
some time after June 6 on Mr..
Hoffa's plea for an injunction
to block the trial. Mr.. Hoffa
is appealing from a ruling by
Federal District Judge Joseph
R. jackson denying an in
junction.

were to move unusually fast, a

West Virginia Notes: Sena-
tor Kennedy has an organiza'
ton here which is expensive
and thoroughly built from
the grass roots. If West Vir-
ginians have never seen any,
thing like it, they are not
necessarily inexperienced.
A sample will do. Before
the primary on Tuesday every
family listed in the telephone
books of the major cities and
towns will receive a personal
call and an offer of trans
portation to the polls.
A few paragraphs from the
instruction sheet sent to
workers who will do the tele-
phoning illustrates the grass
roots depth of this one aspect
of the organizational plan.
There are IL numbered in
structions. Seven Of them will
suffice to give the picture:
/. You have been assigned
to call a certain page Cor
pages in your local tele-
phone directory. Call only
residence phones; do not
make calls to business estab-
lishmentS. When you have
completed a call, place a
check next to the name. If
you cannot reach a person on
the first call, please call back
until you are successful in
making contact.
2. Remember - when you
are calling for Senator Ken
needy, you represent Senator
Kennedy to the person you
call. Be polite and courteous.
If someone asks you a ques-
ton about Senator Kennedy
that you cannot answer,
please take down the name
and number of the person
and tell him that someone
at headquarters who is more
familiar with Senator Ken
nedy's record will call back
with the answer. Be sure to
notify headquarters and give
them the necessary informa-
ton.
3. If anyone you call is
rude or diScourteous, termi-
nate the conversation as
quickly as you politely can.
4. If a child answers, ask
for his parents or some older
person. If someone is hard of
hearing, or for some other
reason cannot understand
your message, terminate the
conversation politely but
quickly.

The Kremlin boss has a

Khrushchev does not want to

He fears the consequences.
If there is any fighting to be
done he wants to push his
Chinese allies into the fore
front. But he wants to take
advantage of what he terms
the "decadence" of the West
ern democracies to place
himself and international
communism in a command
ing position. In order to
achieve this, he had to COM
pei the Big Three Western
leaders to agree to another

Should Nikita Khrushchev
ever be kicked out of his
present exalted position land
allowed to live) he could
qualify for a top job with
any of the Madison Ave-
nue. advertising and pub
lie relations agencies. He is
q genius at turning to his
advantage the absurd and
the ridiculous - and at the
same time making an i'm
preston.
His skill was best demon
strated in the way he maneu-
vered the West into another
summit conference and the
manner in which he pre-
pared its demise by spectacu-
larry making it known to the
world that he had personally
ordered the shooting down of

The plane involved appar-
emily was an unarmed, high

overlooked such details.
The barbaric action
aroused Washington political
leaders. But we have learned
to be tolerant about such in
cidents which have cost us

in the last 10 years. The sug-
