Lang has fashioned a "creche," statue showing the original Christmas scene in the Bethlehem stable.

Some of the figures, notably those of the Three Wise Men are not placed in the creches until Jan.

6 under the European tradition. John Pierrepont, director of the bookshop, says that the creches and santons are widely used in Europe in much the same way as Christmas trees are used in America as the center of family and church celebrations.

Truman couldn't get compulsory health insurance approved even when the Democrats ran Congress. What the health commission proposes is a broad new system. backed by billion dollars of federal and state funds every year, to help bring medical care within the reach of everyone who wants it on a prepayment basis.

States and individuals could come in or stay out. If they came in, it would be under standards set by the federal government. But the insurance plan would be run largely by local and state boards. Anyone able to pay health insurance premiums-just how much they would be hasn't been worked out-would finance his own health program. Federal and state funds would pay all or part of the costs for those unable to bear their full share.

As the commission sees it, a plan should provide not only for hospital and surgical care, as most present voluntary insurance services of systems do, but also for a family physician. It says the plan should offer dental care to children at first, and eventually to everybody, along with expensive drugs, applicances and X-ray service. The commission recommended that some three million people now drawing monthly Old Age and Survivors Insurance checks from the social program, and millions Insecurito will start receiving benefits at 65, be brought into the health, cost insurance be paid plan. It out of suggested social security funds, which are collected from taxes on employers and employes, regardless of whether the beneficiaries are able to meet it themselves. This was the phase that drew quick fire from Dr Bauer.

"Under this plan," he said, "the federal government, through payroll deductions, would pay directly for the medical care of an everincreasing segment of our population and our health services would inevitably be controlled by big government."

S. ambassador to Mexico, onetime Kings County district attorney and former mayor of New a York City. One witness yesterday was Edward A. Heffernan, assistant city aide to 0'Dwyer when the latter corporation counsel who, was an was district attorney in Brooklyn. Heffernan said he made a sixstudy of the Brooklyn waterfront 1940 which disclosed that gangsters ran the ILA locals there and pocketed dues and other union funds.

Heffernan said he submitted his report after a meeting between Joseph P. Ryan, ILA president, and the late Emil an ILA vice president. Heffernan testified that O'Dwyer told him to the case." Asked whether any hoodlum mentioned his report ever was prosecuted "by 'Dwyer's office, Heffernan replied: "I don't think so." Although there was a shakeup of local union officials in "some cases," Heffernan added, "the fact is that it (the investigation) did not accomplish what we set out to do." Anthony Guistra, financial secretary of an ILA local, testified yesterday that he was afraid to leave his union job. Guistra said his brother, John, ran the local until he was murdered and that Anthony (Tony Spring) Romeo moved 113 and took over. "He came over to me and said, the boss Guistra testified.

"He said, 'If you are on the level you can stay here. No one will throw you out." "I was scared to death. I wanted dO to quit. He (Romeo) said, 'No, you stay Guistra said Romeo grafted union dues from 1931 to 1940. "When the money came in from the dues," the witness said, "he came and took it away." "It was a very substantial sum of muney, wasn't "I guess so," replied Guistra, "maybe runs to $20,000, something like that." Guistra said he gave three statements on this alleged extortion to 0'Dwyer's office and, as a result, was held for 3 days as a material witness.

But nothing ever came of it, Guistra testified. The commission put on record a statement purporting to show that O'Dwyer's brother, Paul, was retained as a lawyer in 1940 in a law case involving Guistra's local and five other union units in Brooklyn Later yesterday, however, Paul 0'Dwyer denied this. In a statement to newsmen, the attorney said he never acted as counsel for any of the locals and never received any fees from the locals or their officials.
