ISir Critic of Duke Swims on Sabbath By Auoriattd Prnt GODM A NCHESTER, England A Methodist leader who has condemned the Sabbath polo playing of Queen Elizabeth's husband was himself named today as a Sunday swimmer.

Rev. Peter Disney, Church of England vicar here, said Dr. Donald Soper, president of the Methodist Conference, "even goes to chapel with a swim suit under his Sunday clothes." Noting in his parish magazine that Dr. Soper has strongly criticized the Duke of Edinburgh for banging a polo ball around on Sundays, the vicar declared: "No, no, Dr. Soper, you cannot have it both ways.

If it's wrong for the Duke of Edinburgh, then it's wrong for the president of the Methodist Conference." Dr. Soper admitted to inquiring reporters that "when my wife and I are on holiday we go to chapel wearing swim suits under our Sanday best and hope for a short sermon." But his swimming and the sporting duke's activities are far different in their effect on churchgoing, Dr. Soper contended. "When the Duke of Edinburgh plays polo," he explained, "it becomes a public evnt." i 15. a v.

As for centuries past, December 6 is the feast day of St. Nicholas and "the Krampus," In olden times it was a happy blend of Christmas and Halloween.

Nowadays it means cpen cruelty to small fry who cannot run fast enough to escape a whipping. Youths masked as the Krampus a hairy figure of evil with horns, lolling tongue, clanking chains and bundles of switches will roam streets and playgrounds Sunday in search of "bad" children who deserve no Christmas gifts. The custom was denounced throughout'. Austria this week by parents, psychiatrists, educators, churchmen and editors, Youths "use the opportunity for sadistic orgies of beating," the leading Vienna newspaper Neues Oesterreich said in a front page editorial. The Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna cited medical evidence that the dread that fills small hearts can cause serious mental harm.

Vienna kindergarten officials said in a printed appeal that "fear of Ihe Krampus has become a serious problem in the bodily and spiritual development of children." According to ancient tradition, the wicked Krampus is accompanied on his rounds by a second figure garbed as St. Nicholas in long white beard, flowing robes and bishop's hat. The benevolent saint is supposed to take small children on his knot? and reward them with "To a Man of Distinction" Y. Dog-tired from shopping?

Most of the doctors agreed that 11 p.m. seemed to bfl the peak hour for unnecessary calls.
