WHAT a wonderful medium the Christmas card is for bringing about a spiritual reunion with old friends and acquaintances everywhere during the Yuletide season.

Twelve months of the year you may not hear from the fellow who was your best pal in high school or thecharming people you met on a vacation jaunt years ago. At Christmas time, however, there is always the likelihood that a gay and cheerful message will come because you are on their Christmas list. The cards this year seem to be so much more cheerful and not so somber and restrained as last year. While a cruel and war still leaves its shadow across the Yuletide for thousands of fathers and mothers whose sons made the supreme sacrifice, even for them there is some solace in the hope that mankind somehow will find some way to make the Christmases of the future free of the ugly institution of war. Heres a card from A1 Gilbert, former WIBA announcer and now in the service, who says: Our Staten Island (N.Y.) white Christmas is now arriving by the shovelful.

Hans Hagge, Employers Mutual, Wausau, conveys this message: The world of today has a twofold reason for rejoicing, the birth of the Saviour and the rebirth of freedom to mankind. Kenneth Rufi sends Christmas cheer from behind the Waupun walls. Hank Niemeyer, Portage, uses a bank draft as the motif for his Christmas card. He orders the Bank of Good Cheer to pay to the order of Editor William T. I.vjue, 365 days of happiness in 1946.

A simple note from Ella Odelia Oimoen, Blue Mounds: One of the charms of Christmas lies in the thought that we live in the memory of our friends. The contours of the St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco, dominate the card of Alvin S. Tollefson, assistant manager. A rugged campus snow scene, snapped near Music Hall, is the theme of the card of Frank II.

Keep A verse from Tennyson on Ace Fishers card. A dignified greeting from Dr. W. Webber Kelly, Green Bay, former university regent and medical adviser of the Green Bay Packers.

The card of the Braathens, of course, finds inspiration from the circus. Mully Taylor, Merrill, director of Trees Tomorrow, appropriately attaches a sprig of evergreen to his message.

Shirleys Unselfishness Gets Gifts for Sister and Herself 15,000 Left Stranded In Chicago Station by Lack of Travel Space Ticket Window Lines Block Long Many Lose Shoes During Rush at Gates; Bregk Barriers in Stampedes! Chicagos railroad stations were jammed Saturday night with crowds of civilians and service men trying to get home for Station officials said it was the worst holiday traffic jam in history.

And its just as bad today, he added. Were handling 1,600 cars a day, four times as many as we did during A Century of Progress, the Worlds Fair of 1933-34, the previous peak.

Shore patrols and military police supplemented regular policemen in keeping order, but minor stampedes were reported as long lines tried to surge through track gates. Some ticket window lines were a block long, said E. J. Galvin. chief usher at Union station.

Some trains were reported as much as 12 hours late, adding to the tieup. Officials at Dearborn. LaSalle and North Western stations said crowds there were the largest ever. A Dearborn station gateman reported crowds at 4 a. m.

Saturday spotted a fast train coming into the station while it was four blocks away, and about 400 broke through the gates. The train rvas halted while the crowd was pushed back. Some people have been losing their shoes in the rush, the gate-man said. CHICAGO iJP) vJ railroad st.sr increase in annual dues of the as British Vision Into a fWorld Would Be in Control of Global Police Force With Nations Disarmed LONDON (P) The British government has developed a plan whose ultimate objective is a world government to be achieved through steady strengthening of the United Nations Organization, a responsible authority said Saturday night. The officials working on the plan acknowledge that the idea could not become reality for a long time to come.

But it is the British belief; this authority said, that the United Nations ultimately should have sole and direct control of the world police force, and every county should be disarmed to a point where none would dare challenge the police force. BRITISH CABINET members have worked out ideas looking toward a merger of sovereignties of present day nations. Even now, the informant said, they are planning steps in what diplomats call the technical sphere the economic and social measures which make up much of the services national governments normally perform for their people. The government official, who asked that his name be withheld, outlined the plan thus: It begins with a proposal for a regional United Nations Organization in Europe, moving along both economic and political lines toward the objective of the superstate. CONCRETE PLANS have been discussed for real international control over such matters as transport, communications, aviation and health.

The planners insist that the organizations will need regional offices in every continent to co-ordinate the action of governments and maintain close liaison between each member state and the United Nations. the authority said, was what Foreign See. Ernest Bevin and Alinister of State Philip J. Noel-Baker had in mind when they made recent public statements about a parliament of the world BOW Land Sale i if Recovery Rate 'Unusually Higl BARABOO, Wis. The government is realizing an unusually high recovery rate in the sale of the land which it purchased as the site of the Badger Ordnance works near here, according to a recent report by Perry N.

Johnson, district supervisor of the surplus property administration in St. Paul. Out of the $112,000 which the government paid for the land, it will recover approximately Johnson said. lie pointed out that nine sales of tracts already have been completed, bringing in $23,000, against a cost of $52,000 to the government. Four of the tracts were bought back by their original owners and two of the purchasers are World War II veterans.

The state purchased 768 acres to be added to or used in connection with the Devils Lake State park, Johnson disclosed. This purchase sustains Wisconsin land use policies, which aim to withdraw from agricultural use lands that are better adapted to conservation and recreation, Johnson said. The period during which priorities to purchase were given to various governmental units, former owners, and veterans now is closed, and the five remaining farm tracts will be sold on the basis of current market value to the highest bidder, Johnson said.

The spacious room was filled with fresh roses and carnations flown in from France. The somber tones of an organ, played in an upstairs room, broke the solemn silence. Fifty military policemen stood guard in relays of 10. As dusk descended over this old university city, a regulation rrray ambulance bearing the body moved out of the yard of the 130th station hospital, where Patton died late Friday.

Truman Saturday directed the entry into the United States within Established immigration quotas of European war refugees at the rate of about 39,000 a year. Most of them will come from Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans where approximately 2,000,000 persons are said to be homeless. The effect of the order is to re-' quire that the regular immigration quotas from those countries be filled with persons whom the war drove away from their homes and who, for one reason or another, are not returning.

There will be little room left for other nationals of those countries who may. want to come here. "This is the opportunity for America to set an example for the rest of the w'orld in co-operation towards alleviating human misery, the president said in a statement. 1 Along with the statement the white house made public an official directive to six federal agencies to put the plan into effect. THE PRESIDENT, said the war has brought an appalling dislocation of populations and added that it is -common decency to provide homes for thousands of these displaced persons.

The president not only' directed normal resumption of quota immigration to take care of displaced persons desiring to come to this country, but spoke out vigorously against any legislation at this time which would either prohibit or severely reduce further immigration. He called attention to measures now pending to restrict immigration and commented: This period of unspeakable human distress is not the time for us to close or to narrow our gates. I w'ish to emphasize, however, that any effort to bring relief to these displaced persons and refugees must and will be strictly within the limits of the present quotas as imposed- by law. MR. TRUAIAN emphasized that nothing in his directive will deprive a single American soldier or his wife or children of a berth on a vessel homeward bound, or delay their return.

He made special provision for approximately 1,000 Yugoslavs, Poles and Czechs permitted to enter this country several years ago from refugee camps in Italy and nrw in a camp near Oswego, N. Y.

Constitution Does Not Ban Judges from Running, He Asserts In answer to an off the record statement in a high state official recently questioned the right under the state constitution of Circuit Judge Joseph R.

McCarthy, Appleton, to run for the U. senate. Judge McCarthy de dared Saturday that the constitution of the United States, not the constitution of Wisconsin, establishes the qualifications of members of the U. S. senate.

If those fellows down at Madison knew half as much about the law and the constitution as they think they know about politics they wouldn't bring up such a silly question. Judge McCarthy declared. Even a freshman In law school knows that the constitution of the United States, not the constitution of Wisconsin, establishes the qualifications ot members of the United States senate, and there isnt anything in the United States constituMon that says a state judge can't run for federal office. THE STATE official said that although he had not studied the question thoroughly he wondered whether a circuit judge would be eligible to seek election for the U. S.

senate in view of a provision of the state constitution which states that circuit judges shall hold no office of public trust, except a judicial office, during the term for which they are respectively elected, and all votes for either of them for any office, except a judicial office, given by the legislature or the people, shall be void. ly arrayed on the Rev.
