christmas Homework 1885"

On Christmas Eve years ago, you could see women
carrying bundles home.
Not presents for the children
They were bringing home work Christmas homework.
The shop closed; but the work had to get done.
The Christmas spirit carried burden, too
1t was hard-painfully hard-to enjoy holiday when
fourteen hours Of work cluttered the dinner table.
A day Off There was no such thing.
Happily, times have changed
Ladies' garment workers now enjoy their holidays with
full pay.
Seems like long time ago The era of the seven day
week and the IS weekly paycheck
But there still workers in the garment industry who
can remember those notso-good old days They remem-

Of the sweatshop.

Leaders knowledge of the Meaning
OF NucIeor War Called Key to Safety
RALPH McGHL

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Russia managed to feed
into Cuba, a few hundred at
a time, the equivalent of an
armored division 49, about
$4,000 men. This was an easy
matter, disturbing though it
is. The Germans brought
troops below matches into
Copenhagen's harbor when
they took over that country
early in the Second World
War. The Soviet and her sat-
elite ships we're regular and
frequent callers, and a few
hundred men on each, kept
below decks and landed at
night, made the adventure"
easy. Even the Cubans, who
knew there were troops there,
could not be sure how many
were in their country.
Here at the U. N. there are
foreign delegates who believe
Nikita Khrushchev's planned
trip to the U. N. was part
of the grandiose scheme. He
had hoped to announce a fait
accompli in Cuba. Had he
been able to rise and say
that he had missiles aimed
and ready, the result would
have been catastrophe. That
our intelligence was able to
detect the quick build-up of
missiles enabled the admins

ization which was scheduled
to invade had not the Soviets
withdrawn.
1t is not really proper to
say that the Soviets bowed"
or acted in the interests of
peace. The effect was, of
course, a massive lessening of
tension and an avoidance of
war. But the Russians with

cause the gamble had failed.
They had valuable missiles

Nuclear missiles have so

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Ex-Treosury Chief
In Spotlight Again
By the Associated Press

George M. Humphrey first
came to Washington with a
strong diStaste for personal
publicity, falderal and Govern
ment spending.
He learned to expect pub
licity. And he moved into the
spotlight again today as he
testified at a Senate hearing
on Stockpiling.
Mr.. Humphreys lack Of cere-
mony and his sense of economy
remained intact, however, dur
ing more than four years as
Secretary Of the Treasury in
the Eisenhower administration.
In one Of his first official
acts, he ordered the removal of
a uniformed guard who kept a
constant vigil at the door Of his
private elevator in the Treasury
Building.
Thus in one blow he struck
at pomp and spending.
Guard Is Restored
Incidentally, the guard was
restored to his post on the day
the present Secretary, Douglas
Dillon. took office.
On another occasion, Mr..
Humphrey displayed his in
formality by routing directly
to President Eisenhower a let
ter from a taxpayer without
going through the routine step
Of having a copy made for his
own files.
Across the letter, Mr.. Hum
phrey scrawled, Sometimes I
think the taxpayers know more
about taxation than the poll
ticians."
Very little has been heard Of
Mr.. Humphrey. now 70, since
he LETT the Eisenhower cabinet
in 1857.
And, except in the upper
reaches of big business, little
was heard of him before he
Joined the Government. Gen.
Eisenhower didn't even know
him until two days before he
selected him as his first Sec
retary Of the Treasury.
II have never been strong for
personal publicity" said Mr..
Humphrey on the day his Sc
lection was announced.
Moves Into Headlines
However, the Cleveland busi-
nesSman moved into the head
lines with alacrity when he
moved into the Treasury in
1953-and never seemed to
mind personal publicity. In
fact, he became extremely pop
ular with the Washington press
corps.
One reason. no doubt. was his
willingness to debate all facets
