EVJUEN THAT wonderful medium the Christmas card is for bringa ing about a spiritual reunion with old friends and acquaintances everywhere during the Yuletide season. Twelve months of the year you not hear from the fellow who mass your best pal in high school or the charming people you met on a vacation jaunt years ago. At Christmas time, however, there is always the likelihood that a gay and cheerful message come because you are on "their Christmas list." The cards this year seem to be SO much more cheerful and not somber. and restrained as last year. a cruel and devastang 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.

Station officials said it was the worst holiday traffic jam in history. Walter F. Carlson, Union depot stationmaster, said 15,000 persons were left in the station Friday night by trains which pulled out without them because of lack of space.

"And it's just as bad today," he added. "We're handling 1,600 cars a day, times as many as we did during A Century of Progress," the World's 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 station while it was four blocks away, and a about 400 broke through the gates. The train was halted while the crowd was pushed back. Some people have been losing their shoes in the rush, the gateman said.

At Illinois Central station, a gateman said 1.000 were stranded Friday night, "but the crowds are good humored--if they can't make one train, they just wait for the next." All buses not. affected by current strikes are operating to capacity, a Union bus station official said. Air lines reported were experiencing a heavy crush of holiday-bound passengers.

Constitution Does Not Ban Judges from Running, He Asserts In answer to an "off the record" statement in which a high state official recently questioned the right under state constitution of Circuit Judge Joseph R. McCarthy, Appleton, run for the U. S. senate, Judge McCarthy declared Saturday that "the constitution of the United States, not the constitution of Wisconsin, establishes qualifications of members of the U. S.

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 of members of the United States senate. and there isn't anything in the United States constitution 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 eligible to seek eiection for the U. S.

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 "technical economic and social measures which make up much of the services national governments normally perform for their people.

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 withdraw from agricultural use lands that are better adapted to conservation, and recreation," The period during which priorities to purchase were given to various governmental units, former owners, and veterans now is closed, and the five remaining tracts will be sold on the basis of current market value to the highest bidder, Johnson said.

Patton's Body Lies in State In Old Villa Funeral Services Set for Christmas Eve; To Be Buried in Luxembourg By RICHARD A. O'REGAN HEIDELBERG, GermanyPast sorrowing lines of his comrades in arms, the body of Gen. George Smith Patton, was borne Saturday night to ancient Villa Reiner, where the warrior will lie in state until funeral services today. Truman Reveals Last Message from Patton WASHINGTON -(P)-Gen. George S.

Patton's will to live was dogged until the last. This was revealed Saturday in a message Pres. Truman received from the American general shortly before he died. It was in reply to a cablegram from Mr. Truman expressing hope for the former Third army leader's recovery.

The message, made the wihte house said: "Deeply appreciate your thoughtful message and report that the country prays for my recovery. I have never failed it yet and will not now. May this season bring you all a happy Christmas." Patton, one of the most vivid figures in American military history, will be laid to rest Christmas Eve in a U. S. military cemetery at Hamm, Luxembourg, in soil hallowed by the blood of his fellow fighting men in the gallant U.

S. Third army. THE STEEL casket, draped with the banners of the U. S. Third, Seventh and 15th armies, was placed in the oak-panelled drawing room of the villa.

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 ermy ambulance bearing the body moved out of the yard of the 130th station hospital, where Patton died late Friday. Silent American soldiers stood stiffly at attention, their arms raised in salute, as the procession wound through the twisting cobblestone streets.

Stolid Germans watched unemotionally. THE THIRD Seventh armies, both of which Patton had commanded with brilliant military success, will share responsibility services. Third army soldiers will officiate at the final services at the grave Monday on an historic battleground where just a year ago Patton helped cut short the last major bid of the German army--the bitter Battle of the Bulge. Messages of tribute and sorrow poured in from all parts of the In the European theater, American soldiers lowered all flags to half staff, and closed all soldier clubs and installations in mourning. Patton's comrades will conduct Episcopalian services at 3 p.

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 wish to emphasize, however, caterial 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. TRUMAN 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."
