SOKOLSKY A I I 1951 The pause that comes with an holiday can, with advantage, be moment for self-examination Thanksgiving Day, in particular lends itself to that purpose. Othei wise, each day is like the day be fore, a rhythmic motion from dark ness to light and then to darknes again--and nothing more. Our Thanksgiving holiday strictly American.

It is unrelatet to politics, as is the Fourth of Jub or to a religious order, as is Eas ter. It exists by presidential procla maUon. Yet, few documents ordei ing the event grasp at. its essentia purpose. The noblest of these proc amations was Abraham Lincon's March 30, 1S63, in which he said "Whereas it is the duty of na tions as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confes their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance wil lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, an nounced in the and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.

We have been the recip ients of the choicest bounties heaven; we have been preservec these many years in peace anc prosperity; we have grown in num bers, wealth, and power as no oth er nation has even grown. But we have forgotten God. We have for gotten the gracious hand which pre served us in peace and multipliec and enriched and strengthened us and we have vainly imagined, in iihe deceitfulness of our hearts, thai these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom, and- virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us." This Thanksgiving proclamation in nobility of expression, in depth sentiment, in understanding of the religious motivation of our civilization is as magnificent as the Gettysburg'Address. It Is a demonstrable fact in history-that no civilization has or long existed, the roots of -which are not deep in religious belief and experience.

To assume that Thanksgiving Day is a pause from work, accompanied by the feast of the turke'j and pumpkin pie, is to give to Bacchus a day dedicated to God. There.was a time in our land when such a festival was inaugurated with prayer at the family table, when children were -taught to realize that the richness of our lives comes from God. Today, too many children must assume that jit comes from the breaks 'that fa- Slather got, or from the bounty of government, or from the politicians who "have set themselves up as feudal lords mailing government checks to their beneficiaries. thank.

They raise their eyes heaven and know the truth. They do not live in fear of man, or govern ment, or power. They know that all men are created to be equal in the eyes, of the Lord and when they have returned 19 that permanent state in which dust is dust, only that remains of them which is eternal, the soul, the holy spirit that is life. In these troubled times, the thought must come to many: What have I to be thankful for? cannot be for wealth, for automobiles and electrical re- and television sets. For we had none of these, there still Tould be much to be thankful for.

21 (UP)--The Communists agi-eed in principle a to a United Na- proposal to try to end the Korean war within 30 days. Several days of technical arguments on the plan may lie ahead, and it was feared that allied hopes for a truce by Christmas may be dashed. The. Communists replied to the UN proposal with a counter-proposal of their own at a two-hour subcommittee meeting in Panmun- jom. The counter-proposal was so close to the original allied plan, however, that Brig.

Gen. William chief UN spokesman, said: "I am more optimistic today than I have been for some time past." S. Maj. Gen. Henry I.

Hodes asked--and the Communists agreed to--a recess until 11 a.m. tomorrow (9 p.m. today EST) to study the Communist counter-proposal further. He said the allies would present then "the necessary revisions" to clear up the ambiguities in the Communist formula. Hodes at first told newsmen the red plan "doesn't look as close to ours as we had hoped," but later he and his associates seemed to take a more optimistic view.

Both the UN and the Communist plans provide that the present bat- tleline shall become a cease-fire line provided agreement is reached on the rest of the armistice terms within SO days. The main unresolved items on the armistice agenda are supervision over the carrying- out of armistice terms and arrangements for the exchange of war prisoners. North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee San Cho opened the subcommittee meeting- after a one-day recess requested by the Communists with the words: "We have made a careful study of your Nov.

S. delegation in Bucharest as 16 American planes searched In vain over Yugoslavia and adjacent areas for the twin-engine aircraft, missing since Monday. Romania's note ignored an American claim that Romania border guards fired on the C-47 when it became lost over Yugoslavia.

Washington officials promised tough diplomatic action if an investigation shows Hungarian border guards fired on the plane. Details were still too meager to warrant immediate action, they said. U. S. officials said Yugoslavia had granted the U.
