There are those more deserving." "Because I promised it to them in Your name." "But I have sent You to many universes beyond this earth-larger, more important realms of matter," said God. "Why does Your love always return to these lost prisoners of earth? Were they so kind to You?" "Many did not recognize me, Father, but I told them that if they did they would be forever free." "But they stretched You upon a cross of wood and drove a spear into Your side, My Son. And You want to reward them?" "Forgive them, Father. They knew not what they did." The Lord shook His great head, and said: "My Son, You think too much about that single mudball in the clouds.

Your duty is not one satellite or a single star. Your obligation is the sky." And Jesus replied: "But today it is My birthday on earth, Father, and the earth is as beautiful as the morning." He held out His hand in mute appeal. And God put the small frightened human soul within that hand. And His Son set down that human soul with infinite tenderness, safe in the golden sanctuary He had promised long ago. And the bells of heaven rang in gladness, just as they did on earth, wherever men remembered.

EDITOR'S NOTE-the following column, written a number of years ago, is reprinted at the request of a number of readers. By HAL BOYLE It was Christmas Day in heaven. God sat upon His eternal throne far above the fleecy clouds and watched the pilgrim souls come into His everlasting kingdom from the vast fields of space. They came from dominions within mankind's ken and dominions beyond that ken. And a soft clamor rose from them, and it had the sound of a wind with many voices.

God looked out at the great void star colliding with star, a comet's tail brushing out an old world here, creating a new world there and pondered His celestial traffic problem. He was feeling in a philosophical mood. He reached down among the mass of pilgrim souls plodding toward the gold door of heaven. He lifted one up in His mighty hand. It was a human soul, "Why, here's one from He said, musingly.

"Look at it. So much of fluff about it and so little character. So little of performance wrapped up in such great pretense." God turned and spoke to One who stood at His right side: "So many like it crowd up from that little mudball earth I sent you down to save, My Son. And all crying for divine mercy the mercy they do so little in life to win. Shall I extend it to them?" U.S.

loses a good friend The United States lost a staunch friend and ally in Prime Minister Harold Holt of Australia, who disappeared last Sunday while swimming in the surf off an Australian beach. Mr. Holt was one of a few heads of state willing in these days of virulent anti-American intimidation to openly be a friend of the United States and support the anti-Communist effort in Vietnam. He was a proponent of what might be called the domino theory in reverse, believing that if one country is kept from Communist domination others will gain strength, and an alliance of prosperous and politically stable nations might become an alternative to communism in Asia. He supported the military effort in Vietnam as a necessity to stem the advance of communism, and kept urging the West not to turn its back on "1.5 billion people east of Suez." His personal philosophy was "never to waste a moment." When not tied up with governmental problems, he loved to challenge the ocean as an expert spear fisherman, skindiver and water skier.

Once back when he was head of Australia's federal treasury, he told a convention of spear fishermen that he never used repellent because "whoever heard of a shark wanting a treasurer?" Mr. Holt's last political campaign in 1966 was one of the wildest Australia had experienced for many years. Military conscription and the Vietnam war were made emotional issues by his opposition, and the prime minister was insulted and assaulted by opponents during several campaign appearances. When the voting was over, however, he had won a record majority of 39 seats in the House of Representatives, which was almost double his previous majority. It was fitting that President Johnson should fly 10,000 miles to pay personal and national tribute to Prime Minister Holt, who once answered his critics in this manner: "Australia isn't in the role of yes man to America.

The simple truth is that we have reached the same conclusions as America on almost every issue. We are involved in this war more directly than the United States. Our commitment is an insurance policy for our survival." Several other heads of state are known to feel the same way in private, but are lacking the moral courage to take an open stand so long as the United States is bearing the brunt and acting as their shield. Prime Minister Holt was a loyal and courageous friend, and he will be missed by this nation. ing them are Don Bann, vice-president of the Kappa Sig chapter, and Mrs.

Paul Johnson of Mississippi instituted the extradition proceedings against the 30-year-old convict who says he was given leave from the Mississippi State Penitentiary in 1961 to recover the half-million dollars worth of stocks and bonds stolen earlier that year from Fairchild Construction Co. at Hattiesburg. Berry says he was to go to Reiser, and get the loot from the safety deposit box of a bank, but that he chickened out. He was not involved in the Hattiesburg safe-cracking but said that Aubrey Botts of Baton Rouge, who is serving time at Parchman in connection with the Fairchild job, told him about the bank deposit box. Berry and Botts were cellmates.

Berry said that after he suffered a loss of spine at Keiser he drove to Lynn, Mass. This was in 1961. He was later convicted of rape in Massachusetts and was released only last Saturday after serving three years News at Bellevue The kinsmen of Jesus-5 By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Now that Burroughs Corp. has won a $60-million Air Force computer contract that originally went to International Business Machines for $114 million, some interesting questions seek answers. Specifically: Were the original requirements written in such a manner that only IBM could qualify for the contract? What accounting method did the Air Force use in calculating that the original IBM bid, which not only was the highest but was nearly double the price of other bids, represented a price difference "not of significant magnitude?" Is the electronic computer industry, which is as important to the informntion revolution as the steam engine was to the industrial revolution, really so lopsided that only IBM was able to fill the original order? Why, of 15 companies which requested copies of the Air Force's needs, did only four companies respond with bids? This is not to suggest that the Air Force is guilty of wrongdoing.

It may be that its demands were justifiably high and that it can defend itself on every score. But, if clear answers are available, the companies, the country, the Air Force and the various agencies investigating the computer industry should benefit. These answers are not that obvious so far. The computer caper began July 29, 1966, when the Air Force released copies of its requirements for a computing system to handle personnel and accounting work. Bidders were allowed 130 days to submit plans.

Of the 15 which received RFPs, or request for proposals, Honeywell Radio Corp. of America, Burroughs and IBM submitted proposals. IBM's offer was for $114 million. The others submitter! offers to do the job for many millions of dollars less, but after careful deliberation the IBM offer was accepted in April 1967. "The winning proposal met the mandatory requirements of the request for proposal," the Air Force explained in a statement.

"The other proposals were nonresponsive to the mandatory requirements in some respect." Soon after, the Air Force received complaint letters from other potential vendors. Insinuations were made that in the future the Air Force could look elsewhere for bidders, that the losing companies no longer were interested. It was strongly suggested that the requirements were tailored to IBM abilities. The General Accounting Office and congressmen also joined in the criticism, and in Christmas Carol Cantata entitled We're Going To CARLEY'S IN PETAL THEY'RE OPEN TILL 9 P.M.

By STEVE MOORE Associated Press Writer BUTTE, Mont. (AP) Three little brothers sing Christmas carols for pennies in the streets of Butte to buy presents for their strikebound family. Mrs. Clifford Gustavsen, who is pregnant with her eighth child, counts food stamps and a $10 weekly union food coupon and says "It's going to be pretty hungry around here this Christmas." Mrs. Fred Chase, mother of five and wife of a struck copper miner who is too proud to take welfare money, says, "You can't tell a small child Santa Claus is on strike." This is Christmas time, 1967, for 3,500 copper miners and their families in Butte.

Chris-mas Day will mark the 165th day of the nationwide copper strike for higher wages and fringe benefits. There will be few gifts under striking miners' Christmas trees, and many will be eating deer they killed themselves instead of turkey. "Our backs may be bowed, but our knees aren't bent," said Fred Chase, 42, a veteran of 15 years in the underground mines. "We'll just cheer each other up this year." "I want my daddy to go back to work," said 9-year-old Mike Gustavsen. His father, Clifford, a muscular miner, sits at home babysitting and plunking a guitar.

CORNELL AP Religion Writer A track in the snow winds up the hill.

It is night. A man carries a lantern showing the path. "I am the way," he said. There is a big house on the top of the hill and warm light glows through the open door. It's home, as the guide explains it, the paternal manor house, humanity's joint estate.

"Come Jesus said. "In my Father's house are many rooms." It's a spacious, munrfv cent abode, the consummate habitation, an inheritance for the family of man. "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men." That is the greater, ultimate kinship attested by that newcomer of Christmas, his wider affiliation, his all-in-all consanguinity. "I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I in you." More than a man He was a man, surely, "made like his brethren in every respect," Scripture says, with a flock of assorted relatives-skeptics, allies, the disenchanted, the solicitous. But he also asserted a larger lineage, of profounder roots and vaster progeny.

"Before Abraham, I am I and the Father are one." And he claimed a universal succession. "I am the vine, you are the branches." It was an immense, strange and comprehensive heritage. be sought to the questions that remain. And, hopefully, improvements will be made as a result of these answers.

In determining costs, the Air Force explained, long-range as well as immediate considerations were calculated. It obviously felt that over the six-year period the computer would be used the savings would mount. Nevertheless, in July the Air Force canceled its award to IBM and new proposals were permitted from the interested bidders On evaluation of the new proposals. Burroughs this week received the highest score from Air Force examiners and so was awarded the bid at nearly one-half the original price. Now, hopefully, answers will Although he was a thoroughgoing man of the earth, of one time, one place, one group, there also was an aura of mystery about him, his singular drive, his enigmatic sayings, his utter commitment to others.

"Bar Nasa," he called himself, the "Son of Man." But also, "Bar Eloah," the "Son of God." A puzzled, pragmatic apostle, Philip, wanted some tangible evidence, a spectacular display. "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied." One and the same The request startled Jesus somewhat, took him aback. "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me." Some sensational demonstration there, some grandiose exhibition, might have stirred momentary excitement, but such fleeting response was not the kind of mark Jesus imbued in men. He spawned a strain that lasted, spread and embraced a world. "For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith," the apostle Paul wrote.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise." A big family It was a big family, an inclusive household. It was anchored in mankind's common nature, which Christ took on, becoming an integral part of it. Since he also is identified fully with God as well as man, it is held that he infused a revitalizing kinship with the divine into the mutual human stream. "He was before all things and In him all things hold together," says St.

Paul. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself "For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth." That unifying aspect was a central force in Christ the drawing together, the harmonizing and rejoining of all the fractured segments of men the broken personalities, the economic imbalances, the divided nations and races, the lost love. Love the kinding tie And it was love that he incarnated and dispensed as the animating, binding tie. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another," Jesus said. "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.

Armed with that mightiest of forces, Christ is regarded as having initiated some total reconsolidating process in creation, but he directed his prime concern to individual persons, as if each summed up the pain and need of all.

Rest is offered "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest," he said. And that included the wastrel who had strayed and squandered his substance but then came home, as related in the story of the prodigal son. "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you," the young man cried. "I am no longer worthy to be called your son." But Jesus ordained a hospitable house, a generous, merciful reception for the runaway returned. It's a rich, abundant dwelling, that home fashioned for Christ's extensive family.

It takes the whole day to get there, from the morning of birth into the extinguishing night. The way "Lord how can we know the way?" asked the dubious apostle, Thomas. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." The great house towers on the hill. Sometimes, you hear the further music from it. You catch inklings of it, faint, fleeting, exhilarating.

In a sudden, limpid moment, you're struck with the splendid beauty and amplitude of life. It's like a passing illusion, a mirage. You can't possess it or keep it. You're not settled, not home yet. But you go on, nostalgically yearning for it, vaguely discontent, wishing for a gentler clime, a steadier soil, a fuller fellowship, "You did not choose me," Jesus said, "but I chose you And he beckons up that hill, toward that good house, that bounteous regathering place, of enduring kith and kin.

It Is an unfortunate fact that the Christmas season always brings with it an increase in traffic slaughter. Paul Edwards, newly elected president of the Mississippi Safety Council, points out that 1967 traffic deaths already have exceeded the total number for 1966, with the holidays yet to come. "We do not understand the drastic increase in traffic deaths," Edwards said.

"However, we do know that in each fatal accident one or more of the state's traffic laws was being violated at the time." Law violations leading to traffic fatalities include: 1. Failing to yield the right-of-way. 2. Improper passing. 3.

Driving while under the influence of alcohol. 4. Speed too fast for conditions. 5. Following too closely.

These are the ingredients for tragedy during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Once again we plead with drivers to obey the laws of the state and of common sense. This alone, if practiced, would cut holiday traffic accidents dramatically. Words of wisdom It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
