To all the people In the
world named Christmas, to-
day has an extra-Special sig
nificance. It means that all
those Jokes about our monk
ers are Just about over for
another year.
By the rather simple tech
nique of questioning our
goodly ranks Of relatives in
nearby Maryland, we learned
that only three small men,
bers Of the clan have felt
constrained to poke other lit
tie boys in the nose this hoh-
day season for making those
clever remarks about the
name.
Such as:
They shoulda' named you
Merry"
Or:

lad confided to one Of our
own crop that he never

There are a number of

Christmas in the Capital
Comes Up White and Bright

Santa in making the rounds
of the Junior Village Infirmary
greeted a 2-year-old with
measles as red as the holly
berries on the window.
She was one or six young
sters caught in the tail end of
a mild measles epidemic that
swept through the institution
about three weeks ago.
The epidemic reached its
peak about three weeks ago
when 48 children were sick at
one time, according to Director
John Kosisky.
About 60 children, in all,
caught the disease.
Merchants and mailm e n
throughout the area took a
well-earned rest after their
busiest season.
Postmaster Carlton Beall re-
ported with pride that 267,-
$4,000 pieces of mail had
been delivered since December
/, compared to 243,374, 000
pieces last year. Despite the
usual rush of laSt-minute mail
erS, he said, there are no great
quantities Of undelivered mail.
This was our best Christ
mas yet," said Mr.. Beall.
1t was an Unexpectedly good
season for local merchants, ac-
cording to william H. Press,
executive vice president of the
Metropolitan Washington
Board of Trade.
Despite the short Thanks

Suburban stores did even bet
ter than those downtown, Mr.
Press added.
The last-minute activity he
mentioned was especially no
ticeable between S and 6 pm
downtown, the hour before
closing time for most stores.
Perfume counters did a brisk
trade, mostly from men with
the traditional Christmas Eve
look of barely suppressed panic

cause he was back home in
Texas where the air is fresh
and balmy, the deer are plenti-,

all right in his new job.
Like a kid fresh out of
school, the President couldn't
wait even to get home beforel
going deer hunting when he,
flew into Texas yesterday aft
ernoon.
"I've Just been here an hourl
and I feel better already" hei'
told A. w. Moursund, an old
friend who drove him in a Linz

which more than 100 deer were,

Not Getting Him Down
The burdens" of the Presi-

down, anyway.
Mr.. johnson told a pool"
of four reporters who accom-
panied him to Texas aboard
his Air Force jet plane that he
never felt better in his life. :,
Reviewing scores Of meetings
he has had during the last
month with leaders of Con-
gress, business, labor and other
segments Of American life, he
said: I'VE are trying to pull all
together and work as q team,
and we are doing right well
with It,"
His eyes sparkling keen as he
relaxed with a leg draped over
an arm of his easy chair, the
President radiated the self-con.

concerned.
2. The military services
asked for about SO billion

On Grain Sale

Credit Guarantee
Action Will End
Long Aid Bottle
BY J. A. OTEARY
Star Staff Writer

battle over foreign aid will be
written in the Senate Monday,
after which the first session of
the 8Sth Congress will expire.
The Senate is expected to ra-
tify on Monday the decision Of
the House yesterday to vest in
President johnson discretion to
extend Government credit
guarantees so that Russia and
her satellites may buy surplus
American products on q de-
ferred payment plan.
A Decisive Victory
President johnson won q de-
cisive victory when the House
reversed its previous stand
against allowing the Export
Import Bank to guarantee
private loans to finance the
sale Of the surplus crops to the
Russians.
Since the Senate has twice
rejected a similar ban, it is ex-
pected to ratify the discre-
tionary power for the President
on Monday.
The discretionary authority
given the President was part Of
the So billion appropriations
bill for this years foreign aid
program. The So billion is SIS
billion below the request sent
Congress by President John F.
Kennedy and 500 million I'M
der the figure Mr.. johnson
cited as the minimum that
could be contemplated without
peril.
Reductions in economic aid
account for $1.l billion Of the
cut. military aid cuts the re-
naming $500 million.
Mr.. johnson made the best
of the action, however, issuing
a statement after the vote
commencing the House for Its
constructive action"
81 Am Grateful"
Men and women Of good
will put their country first
some at great Sacrifice-to see
that the national interest was
served" he said. 81 am grateful
to them and I am sure the Ma
ton is grateful to them"
The two chambers agreed
yesterday to start the 1864 ses-
sion on January Z. The House
also voted to end this session
next Monday.
All but a few House members
may now go home, and the
Senate will pass the final adj
journment resolution Monday
after it acts on foreign aid. 1t
will be legal for a handful Of
House members to meet and
adjourn that day.
The Senate proved yesterday
how unpredictable it can be.
Democratic Leader Mansfield
and Republican Leader Dirksen
had gone away for a rest, In
the belief that they had ar
ranged for one or two Senators
to hold a token session and re-
cess until Friday.
But II Senators unexpected
ly showed up at noon, and sew
eral of them. led by Chairman
Fulbright of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, demanded
immediate action on the fore
ign aid compromise, which had
been approved by the House q
few hours earlier.

Pontiff Visits
InCOmmunist
Area Of Rome
Sorry Some Rebel
At Accepting True
Christmas Meaning

VATICAN CITY, Dec. IS
AP).-Pope Paul VI celebrat-
ed mass Christmas morning in
q Roman workers quarter that
is a Communist stronghold.
The pontiff expressed sorrow
that some persons viii rebel
at the thought Of admitting
the true meaning of
Christmas"
Christmas is the feast Of
the needy and the poor" Pope
Paul said in q sermon at the
Church Of st. Michael the
Archangel where he celebrated
mass.
Despite a chill rain, the
white-robed Pope walked the
short distance from the little
church to q one-story brick
house in which Romolo Proiet-
ii, an unemployed laborer, and
his family or seven live in two
rooms.
Prays at Bedside
The 66-year-old ruler Of the
Roman Catholic Church prayed
at the bedside of Mr..
Proietti's daughter Emilia, 81,
who has been paralyzed for Is
years.
Apparently unable to hear
the excited girls words, the
Pope bent over her bed and ex-
changed some remarks.
He was heard asking her if
she had any particular desire.
II wish my family could have
a decent home" Emilia replied.
The Pope's reply was not
heard.
After kissing the girl on her
forehead. Pope Paul left the
house. Papal aides had to clear
q path for him through the
crowd.
After the visit, the Pope re-
turned to the Vatican to cele-
brate his third Christmas mass
in st. Peters Basilica.
Refers TO Berlin Wall
Pope Paul said his first
Christmas mass in a midnight
service in the Sistine Chapel
for members Of the diplomatic
corps accredited to the Holy
See.
In q speech to the diplomats,
the pontiff made an indirect
appeal for negotiations to
demolish the Berlin Wall.
He told the diplomats that
war would be a supreme catas-
trophe. And in an obvious ref
erence to the Communist wall
dividing Berlin: "IS it not your
mission, gentlemen, to work to
knock down walls which Sepa-
rate peoples; is 1t not (our mis-
sion) to announce peace to all
near and far2"
It was his third speech OF
the Christmas season. Before
the midnight mass he told car
dinals and visiting prelates
that his pilgrimage to the Holy
Land January AS has such
great significance that he
could not measure its magni-
tude.
Monday night in his first
Christmas message to the
world he dedicated his Holy
Land trip to the search fol
peace and unity among men.

detect the evils these articles
have pointed out"
Referring to accounts Of ex-
ploitation Of the imported
maids by their employers, Mr..
Sanjuan said the State Depart
ment would mot have the final
word"
However" he said, I'VE can
exercise a good deal Of in
fluence in that regard. We can
be very beneficial. 1t will be
our aim to attempt to improve
the lot of these women to the
point where it is at or near the
lot of their American counter
parts"
Mr.. Sanjaun pointed out
that the State Department
cannot regulate the wages OF
working conditions of foreign
nationals employed by foreign
nations-that is in foreign en-
baSsies here.
