Dear Lord, please let George help
trim heavens tree. as he did st
home in the happy days Of yore.
Each year 1t was his wish to hang
the holly wreath upon the door.
but most Of all he liked to plaza
Star upon the hiEhest branch of
the tree, and hang the shining
angels underneath. He loved the
Christmas
Cheer-the festivity. So Lord. II
you would let him place the Star

maybe let him drape the tinsel ont
he would feel more at home. In

New Law
For Refugees

WASHINGTON-Presi-
dent Eisenhower has sign
ed legislation aimed at fa-
cilitating entry into this
country of European refu-
gees and alien children adopt
ed by US. citizens.
Estimates of the number of
refugees now in western Euro
pean camps who will enter
this country under the new
law range between 5000 and
10000.
MOST OF THE REFUGEES
who will benefit from the new
law are persons who have
fled from Iron Curtain ma
tions.
President Eisenhower said
in signing the bill July 14)
that he approved it because
of its general merit and the
urgent need to accomplish the
purposes of the measure"
Early this year, the Presi-
dent, in a special message to
Congress, asked for legislation
to admit refugees on a far
more liberal scale tnan pro-
vided in the new law. He also
asked Congress to consider
easing restrictions in the per-
manent US. immigration reg
ulations.

hopes no one will waste
his franchise" by voting for
or against him on religious
grounds.
The Massachusetts Senator,

a major party candidate for
the presidency since 1928,
told delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention:
my DECISIONS on every
public policy will be my own
AS an American, a Demo
crat and a free man" <
In his formal acceptance
speech DULY 49, in the Los

Sen. Kennedy dealt directly
with the question of what
role his religion will play in
the coming campaign = and
