D. Payment
Senute Action
Could Be Spur
To Revenue Bill

A $50 million annual Federal
payment to the District is ex-
pected to be recommended to-
morrow by the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee.
Its District subcommittee
this morning marked up the
city'S money bill for the current
year. Members took a pledge to
maintain strict secrecy until
their proposed budget was
cleared by the full committee.
1t was understood, however,
that subcommitteemen had ac-
cepted the House-pasSed $50
million payment in the face of
renewed hope for passage of
a revenue bill this session.
Except for the Federal pay
ment and loans, District spend
ing is covered by local tax
revenues. The House cleared a
sales tax measure earlier this
session, and the Senate doubled
the proposed yield by amend
ing legislation with taxes on
rooms, cigarettes, alcohol, real
estate deeds and an income
payment adjustment.
Saw Little Hope
House District Committee
Chairman Mcmillan, Democrat
of South Carolina, told the
House yesterday he saw little
hope of a conference on the
conflicting bills because there
was no time for House hear
ings on Senate additions.
Sources close to Mr.. Nc
MILAN indicated today that
the Congressman was making
every effort to reach an agree
ment on revenue bill, carry
ing the sales tax and perhaps
one or two other items. Most
likely appeared to be a tax on
property deed filings and re-
scheduled payment of income
and franchise taxes, to yield
nearly SO million.
If enacted promptly, the sales
tax alone would give the Dis
trict close to SIS million.

which handles the budget
rather than the revenue bill,
on the $50 million Federal pay
ment already approved by the
House conceivably could leave
House members receptive to a
revenue bill to finance spend
ing. The added revenue, in
other words, would come from
District taxes over those passed
by the House, rather than
from Federal payment bigger
than passed by the House.

Democrat of West Virginia,
were also understood to have

House bill more than 100000

equally important by District
officials, Juvenile Court legis-

Six Are Killed

Car|a Waning
Many Texas Areas
Still Isolated
By High Tides

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. IL
(AP).-The staggering back
lash of Hurricane Carla
spawned a deadly predawn
tornado in Galveston today.
Six bodies were recovered
from collapsed homes. Between
go and 10 persons were in
jured.
Authorities feared the toll
may grow higher when the
rubble is cleared.
Brad Messer, assistant exec
utive editor of the News
Tribune, walked through the
2-by-6-block devastated area
and said an estimated 100
wooden homes had been
crushed.
Tides 3 feet deep covered the
tornado area. making rescue
and relief exceedingly difficult.
CarIa Is Far Inland
Carla, which touched land
yesterday with blasts reaching
173 miles an hour at one
point. late this morning CEN
tered 200 miles inland between
Austin and Waco and headed

The Weather Bureau called
! it a "decaying storm" with gale
winds of SIS miles an hour ex-
tending 200 miles to the north
and east.
1T looks as if this will be
the largest single insurance
loss this country has ever ex-
perienced," said Darby Ham
mond, Dallas executive director
Of Southwestern Insurance In
formation Service.
John White, Texas farm
commissioner, estimated the
States farm loss at S140 mil
lion at this stage. There were
forecasts that the total farm
and property loss would be over
: 5000 million.
Galveston officials estimated
hurricane losses up to S18 mil
lion-before the tornado struck.
Corpus Christi authorities es-
timated that city's loss up to
$40 million.
Parts of Levee Crumble
! At Port Arthur near the
Louisiana line, portions of a
levee crumbled today, sending
water slowly toward so or go
homes in suburban Port Acres,
, Carl Moon of the sheriff's office
said.
High tides thrown up by
Carla still isolated many COM
munities and cities, including
Galveston. The Weather Bu-
; reau said the tides will subside
slowly.
The Galveston tornado struck
the courthouse as we'll as a
residential area. About 1000
hurricane refugees were shell
tered in the courthouse and
broken glass struck many.
One of the Galveston victims
was Mrs. Marie Harris, ST, who
died as her home was knocked
down.

Little Known
About Visit
Of Magi

Familiar to all is the visit
of the Magi to Bethlehem -
and yet little is known about
it. In the books of the New
Testament, only st. Matthew
reports the visit.
st. Matthew called them
wise men from the East" In
the legends hat have deve-
loped, they are sometimes
called "Magi" because this
word, meaning august was
the name given the priests of
the ancient Modes and Per-
slams.
Tradition says they had
heard that a bright new star
would announce the coming Of
a Saviour to the world. After
years of watching, they saw
the star and Set out from Bah
ylon to find Him.
In Bethlehem, they gave the
Christ Child gold in a shrine
shaped casket, a sign that
they accepted Him as their
King; frankincense, a symbol
of His deity; and myrrh in a
golden horn, a prophecy of
His death.

SOVIETS RETREAT

croker, to pay for filling all
the stockings - but Scrooge
would be wrong.
Both Christmas stockings
and pawnbroker's signs are
traditions that come from
legends about the first "Santa
Claus - st. Nicholas, bishop
Of Myra, in Asia Minor - &C
cording to the Encyclopedia
Americana.
This early Santa was known
far and wide for his generos-
ity. And, SO the story goes, he
wanted to help a merchant
who had lost all his money
ana had no way to provide
doWrles for the marriages of
his three daughters.
Like Santa today, St. Nicho-
las wanted to be a generous
but secret giver. When the
Oldest daughter was old en-.
ough to marry, he went at
night to the merchants house
with a bag of gold.
Some legends say he threw
1t through the window, and
others that he threw it down
the chimney. At any rate, the
Oldest daughter had her dowry
and was able to marry.
St. Nicholas repeated the
process for the second, and
then the third daughter. The
third time, the merchant
watched to see who brought
the gold and told the story of
the good saints generosity.
According to legend. one
bag of gold fell into a stocking
hung up by the chimney to
dry, and thus began the GUS
tom of hanging up stockings
to be filled with gifts.
Pictures of the saint show
him with the three bags of
gold.
Bankers of Northern Italy
took him as their patron and
used the sign of three gold
balls. Because bankers lent
money, the sign later became
associated with pawnbrokers,
and today this custom still
continues.

of all the other gods, he came
back to life after three days,
and the suns light shone at
the winter solstice.
Freya cried for joy, and her
tears became mistletoe ber-
ries. She kissed everyone who
passed under the mistletoe.
and ordained that this same
sign of affection should always
be exchanged when people
met beneath the mistletoe.
Holmes County herald., 1961-12-21

An ancient custom. which
prescribed mistletoe for the
prevention and cure of a wide
variety Of illnesses-epilepsy,
for instance = has given way
to the happier idea that mis-
tletoe is the right prescription
to assure opportunities for ex-
changing kisses during the
holiday season.
Naturally, this makes mis-
tletoe an object of interest =
as it has been for centuries.
Druid priests in early Bri-
tan cut miStletoe at the WIN
ter solstice and gave sprigs of
it to the people. The sprigs
were hung above doorways of
homes and stables. The DruidS
taught, and the people be-
lieved, that this vine had great
power to ward off evil and
protect against illnesses.
Despite the early interest in
mistletoe for its supposed
medicinal qualities, it's use as
a prescription for kissing"
had a place in the ancient
world, too.
Romans and other early
peoples considered mistletoe
as an emblem of peace. Meet.
ing under it, enemies kissed
each other and made a truce
until the next day.
Scandinavian myths tell the
story of the death of Balder,
the sun god, who was. so
mythology says, killed by an
arrow of mistletoe wood. His
