The picture Of a Red re-

lens was drawn by Marshall
Green, United States Consul
General in Hong Kong, who
is now in this country on
home leave.
"Glue Is Fear"
Mr.. Green said the Chinese
Communists seem to realize
that fear is the glue which is
holding together the "rickety
structure" Of their govern
ment. But he also pointed out
that. militarily. they are still
strong enough to maintain
internal control and to ex-
port revolution.
While avoiding any predic-
tions for the future. he said
that the record of commu-
nisin in Asia Is such as to
permit indulgence in specu-
lation Of how great tn cir
problems are"
Mr.. Green attributed the
accelerated flow of refugees
from Red China to Hong Kong
last May and June to the
fact that basically conditions
had become so bad the Chi
nese were impelled to flee as
they never had before.
Loss of face over the situa-
ton was one of the reasons,
the Communists closed down
on the outflow. he said.
Another factor. he suggested,
was that the fleeing refugees
were trampling down the
crops as they strea e d
through the fields at night.

every prudent householder always has on hand
to satisfy the traditional blackmail.
But long ago. Halloween meant something
very different from childish pranks. 1t was once
a deadly business, and, in those fearful times,
anyone who was brave or foolhardy- enough
to answer the mysterious knock at the door on
Halloween would have expected to find not
happy children but troop of aweSOme demons
perhaps friendly, but more probably bent on
helliSh mischief
Halloween-or All HallOws Eve as it is
more properly calIed-has been a Christian
festival for almost thousand years. but its
origins are far older than Christianity 1t was
first celebrated as Christian feast in 998 by
Odile of Cluny and was made an official part of
the church calendar by Pope John XIX in 1905
But folk beliefs die slowly, and the people OF
ancient Europe in their heart of hearts cele-
brated not the feast in honor of all the saints
but kept terrified vigil on night sacred TO the
Celtic god Saman, the dread Lord of the Dead
On Halloween, not only the spirits OF the dead
were abroad but also all manner of evil spirits
were free on this one night to roam the world
and it would be brave man indeed who would
venture out on such night.
It is unlikely that any of the ghosts who
knocked insistently on doors throughout Europe
would have ever called out trick or treat" but
an even grimmer warning was implicit In tnelr
visit On Halloween, the ghosts came back to
their old home and they expected to be made
welcome, however grudging and feartul tnat
welcome might be. For on Halloween, the deao
ruled supreme, and if anyone had denied them
food and drink or a place by the fire to warm
themselves their terrible vengeance would

the ancient Cells, Halloween had its brighter
side October 81 was the Celtic equivalent of
our New Years Eve, and with them, just as with
us, the last day of the old year was time for
merry making If the peasants shivered inside
their huts at the sounds of the COLLINS and
witches riding through the air outside, they also
celebrated the coming new year with good food
and drink in front of their blazing fires. Later
when some of the old beliefs had begun to fade,
the merry making and the fires were transferred
outside, and people began going from place to
place to share in each others good times. In
terestingly enough, bobbing for apples, which
used to be so much part of the tradition OF Hal
loween, came to medieval northern Europe from
an outside source When the church absorbed
Halloween, it also absorbed the festival of the
Roman goddess Pomona, the prOtectress OF
fruit trees Nuts and apples played an important
part in celebrating good harvest and SO the
two old traditions merged to become part of
single modern festival
But even though Halloween has become
kind of gay children's holiday, it's never safe to-
assume that the old gods are dead. And the
witches and COLLINS may be almost forgotten but
they are not entirely gone. If you venture out
on Halloween when dark clouds are scudding
across the waning moon and the wind is tossing
the tree tops, don't scott at the old beliefs too
openly. Are you sure that the ghostly figure on
the other side of the dark street is only one OF
the neighbor children in fantastic disguise!
And if you hear an ominOus rustic in the dead
leaves behind you, before you look around re-
member James Whitcomb Riley'S warning:

have meant at least sickness and perhaps even
death.
When Washington children put on their
masks and costumes this week and become
makebelieve witches and COLLINS, they will
be only acting out what our remote ancestors ex-
pected to see in reality. In his great study of
the religious beliefs and customs of Europe,
"The Golden Bough," Sir James Frazer says of
Halloween:
But it is not only the souls of the departed WhO
are supposed to be lowering unseen on the day
''Hhen autumn to winter resigns the pale year

Others gaLoping along the roads on tabby cats,
which for that evening turned into coaLbLdck
SteedS The fairies, too, all let loose and hob
COLLINS of every sort roam freely about.
It is interesting that Halloween should have
become children's festival because in the old
days children were kept strictly indoors. 1t was
believed that children, even more than adults,
we're likely to be harmed perhaps even carried
off-by the witches and COLLINS abroad on that
night. Until quite recently there was a popular
saying in rural England, warning children to
stay in:
Halloween will come, sOiu come,
WitchcrGtt will be set agoing,
Fairies will be at full speed,
Running in eveTy pass.
Auoid the road, children, children.
How did Halloween change from night
of genuine dread to a time of cheerful ShiverS
and candy at every door? We can only guess.
At least part of the change came when the night
became part of the spread of Christianity which

Reserviists' Kin
). Letter

In an effort to boost morale,
Secretary of Defense McNa-
mara has told the families Of
10000 National Guardsmen
and reServists that every man
recalled to active duty "is max
ing a special contribution to his
country's security"
But I recognize-and the
President recognizes-that this
has meant difficulty, inconven-
ience and the disruption of ci-
william pursuits" for the men and
their families, Mr.. Mcnamara
said.
The Defense Secretary's let
ter, written to the wives, par
ents and other relatives of the
citizen-soldiers, was made public
yesterday.
A Defense Department spokes-
man called it a morale booster. "
Since the Gallup began last
fall, there have been numerous
reports of dissatisfaction among
the guardsmen and reservists,
in part because some said they
didn't feel they were being put
to effective use.
Mr.. Mcnamara said the re-
called reservists and guardsmen
have "helped to keep us strong,
and their recall has surely evi-
denced our determination" to
stand firm against Communist
pressures in Berlin and else
where.
1--WE are taking other steps,
of course, to convince the So
Wet bloc we mean business, -
Mr.. Mcnamara said, "and as
we build our strength in these
other ways it will become pos
Sible to release the reservists
from active duty"
He did not indicate when the
Army, Navy and Air Force re-
servists and guardsmen will be
released, but he and President
Kennedy have expressed hope
1t can be before their projected
year of active service is up.

ReserveAide
Sees Bypass
On Changes
~ the Associated Press

A top adviser on Reserve pol
icy has protested sharply that
his Army General Staff COM
mittee is being bypassed in the
preparation of plans to revamp
the trouble-plagued Reserve.
ut appears already late for
us to get into the act" wrote
Reserve Maj. Gen. Carl Suther-
land in a strongly worded let
ter to Secretary of the Army
Stair.
Gen. Sutherland said it looks
as though plans being prepared
by the Defense Department are
ito be presented to us for ap-
proval without our having par
ticipated" in their drafting.
The general is chairman of
the Reserve section of the Army
General Staff Committee on
National Guard and Reserve
Policy. A resident of Atlanta,
he commands the 81st Reserve
Infantry Division of Georgia,
North and South Carolina and
Tennessee.
Contents Of his letter to Mr..
Stair were made available to a
reporter.
Letter Cites Law
In the letter dated December
16, Gen. Sutherland cited a
section Of law which he said
requires that each policy or
regulation affecting organiza-
ton, training or other phases
Of the Reserve shall be pre-
pared by his committee.
The general said published
reports that the Pentagon plans
possibly to drop all 10 Reserve
divisions had caused wide
spread alarm" among reservists
all over the Nation.
The Kennedy administration
is known to be considering
reorganizing the Reserve and
Guard in an effort to put
better-rated outfits in shape
for faster use, if needed. Indi-
cations are that some lower
rated units will be dropped or
reduced to skeleton size.
This development came at a
time when there were COM
plants from some guardsmen
and reservists called to active
duty last fall in the Berlin
crisis military buildup. How
ever, studies on how to reor-
ganize the Reserve began
months earlier.
Appears to Be Jab
Gen. Sutherland, in what
appeared to be a jab at Mr..
Stahr, noted reports that de-
ciSions on the status of Reserve
and Guard divisions are being
made above the Army, at the
Defense Department level.
Thus, he asked that his
great concern" at the reports
be made known to Secretary
OF Defense Mcnamara.
The general also suggested
1t was entirely possible" that
Mr.. Mcnamara was not famil-
lar with the regulation requir-
ing that the Army General
Staff Committee be brought I'M
on the planning.
The committee last met here
In early December. It was said
that an item dealing with pro-
posed reshaping of the Reserves
was taken off the discussion
schedule.

Loss Of Davis
JoIfS Cleveland
Championship HOPES

Chicago CAMP - The Cleve-
land Browns of the National Foot
ball League last week suffered "a
tremendous blow" to their champ
ionship aspirations when their ace
rookie halfback, Ernie Davis, was
found to be suffering from a blood
disorder requiring intensive rest
and treatment and was believed
lost to the team for the 1862 sea-
son.
The announcement on Davis
condition was made by Art Model,
Brownies president, and came on
the eve of the College All-Stars-
Green Bay Packers game in Sold
iers' Field Friday Aug. 81, in
which Ernie was to play.
In his statement, Model said
that on the basis of his discussion
with doctors attending the ALL
American star in Evanston hos
pital near here, it appears doubtful
that he will be able to play for the
Browns this season. Davis had
been working out with the College
All-Stars on the Northwestern
university campus in Evanston.
