Without Soviet ratification,

However. the General Assem-

leave the Soviet Union alone in

that Mr.. Federenko had

contradicted Mr.. Federenko's

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Dec. 1.-THE Soviet Union has
absorbed a wave Of Afro-Asian
anger in order to champion the
cause Of Red China in the
United Nations.
This startling act, which re-
verses what U. N. diplomats
thought was MoScow's scale of
priorities, opens up the Soviet
Union for one Of its biggest U.
N. defeats In years.
It opens up the possibility
that the 56-nation Afro Asian
bloc viii try to ram one of its
pet projects past the Soviet
veto-and collide head-on with
Moscow.
The project is expansion of
the l1-nation y. N. Security
Council to make room for
Afro-Asian representation.
1t would be a defeat for the
Soviet Union, observers here
agree, whoever came out on
top. In a struggle between Mos
COW and the Afro-Asian bloc.
Moscow has long tried to WOO
that bloc. Years of diplomatic
effort would be thrown away if
she now were to antagonize it
permanently.
Peking DisapprOves
Sovite Delegate Nikolai T.
Federenko told a committee of
the l11-nation U. N. General
Assembly yesterday:

dor in Picking had been told

You can remember when you

down chimney, but not for once
did you think it impossible, be-

them anything, they believed it
was possible. Some people think
1t wrong to tell that story to their
children but I have talked to a
great many friends before writing
this and every one of them said
how happy they were to have that
memory of waiting" for Santa to
come with their gifts and oh how
sad they were when the children
at school told them just how they
did receive their gifts.
Marianne was saying, "a little
girl my own age told me I was
silly to believe anything like it and
I was very sad when I went home
and asked my mother to tell me
about Santa and if there really
was one. She told me it was hand
ed down from her parents to her
and she had such lovely memories
of Santa Claus bringing her gifts
to her that she thought she would
like to pass the thought to me, her
daughter, and she hoped I would
understand and always think of it
in that way.
Marianne said she told her chill
dren about Santa and how the
family gathered to see their smil-
ing faces when they came down.

there. So, the rest of the group
each told Of their experiences, and
we all agreed it was a beautiful,
story as long as it brought Sc
much happiness to many children
and their parents.
They, too, said it was a sad day
when they found out otherwise and
though other Christmas days were
happy ones they had lost some,
thing when Santa didn't seem reaI
to them but they appreciated hav,
ing had the joy Of knowing Santa
was on the way for the few briei

know the joy of waiting for Santa

The Christmas Spirit

It is the season of the singing heart,
In which the hopes of the ages have drawn near;
The melody of love does not depart
While carohng its messages of cheer
It is a climate where all good things grow
Where kindness is not crowded nor distressed;
With faith well strengthened like a sprfngtime glow
And beauty roundabout welcome guest.
Christmas is time Of ringing bells
OF joy; time to plead the cause Of peace
In Prayer-a brotherhood where love escels-
That universal hate and conflicts cease.
Humanity creates its sun-path when
The Christmas Spirit dwells in the hearts of men,

At Presidents DeofI,

In the lounge OF st. JoSeph's

portrait of John F. Kennedy.
On Friday, the % residents of
the home, age 1917, were watch
ing television in the lounge when
the program was interrupted to-
announce the news that President
Kennedy had been shot.
AS the children crowded around,
they learned with the rest of the
nation that the President had died.
Shock, disbelief, and to some for
whom death had no meaning, in
difference registered on their faces.
What will Mrs. Kennedy tell
her children?" said one girl. "She
had to tell them that their baby
brother had died, and now she
will have to tell them their father
is dead"
why was the President shot.
Sister ?"
And still more questions:
What's going to happen to the
Kennedy family?
Is Mrs. Kennedy going to be
taken out Of the White House?
Will she have enough to eat?
The children here knew more
about this President than perhaps
any other. They had heard more
about him.
He was after all, the first
Catholic President we've ever had"
explained one Sister. He was a
leader of not only the nation but
the Catholic faith as well.
"The children felt they knew
him, and they loved him"
At 4:30 pm, the children at
tended a special rosary service for
John Kennedy in the chapel. The
rosary was voluntary, but all of
the children came. It was the Sec
ond time that every child in the
home had attended a rosary serv-
ice. The first was on the death of
Pope John XIII.
When they returned to the tele-
vision and radio sets, they heard
reports of the captured slayer.
A nine-year-old boy gritted his
teeth and threatened to beat up
and cut the guys arms off that
did it." He busted himself organ
izing gang" to help him.
Another boy said he would
punch his eyes out"
Some of the older children cried
but the younger ones were too full
of questions.
rs there going to be a war? If
there Is, I've got to get my work
done before the bombs come" said
a 12-year-old girl.
On one station it was announced
that Negro male had been seen
with a rifle before the President
was killed. A 15-year-old Negro
girl said to her companions you
might know, you just might
know" she said.
I'VE want to send something to
Caroline and John-John" some
others said. Gould we make some
thing for Mrs. Kennedy"
All Of the children wanted to
know who would take Mr.. Ken
nedy's place.
The Sisters explained that Vice
President Johnson would become
the new President.
He doesn't look as kind" one
boy said The other children nod
ded in agreement.
They watched the news until
bedtime, when small boy missing
during the evening, slipped into
the lounge.
