Halloween Is I 1 / ' " Changed From Earlier Years

WASHINGTON UP i- Halloween, which is nearly upon us \isn’t what it used to be —and everybody can be thankful. kids still soap windows and go from house tb house to beg for candy, apples, and popcorn in exchange for some childish st,unt. But, by and large, youngsters are kept off the street and out of mischief. , In my day, we young ’uns were terrors. We pushed over small ■ buildings, tore the gates off picket fehces, and otherwise made ah! evening out of destruction of property. '.\ ;J > [l/ j At this late date, It is safe, 1 hope, to confess that we once completely dismantled a wagon, and then reassembled it on top of a' sited. It took the old fellow who owned it three weeks to figure how' he was going to get it back to earth.- ; !"! ' ’ ,\ I v ' Another time we hauled a buggy; via a Model T Ford some 25 miles. I doubt that the owner ever foundit. It wasn't right but we did it. The late George Stimpsori in his book, “Information Roundup,’’ has a few' paragraphs on the origin of Halloween.- , \ ; ' He said Halloween is merely the shortened form of “all Hallows Even.’\ It is celebrated on the evening before All Hallows’ Day or All Saints Day J , ; “In €O9 \a, D„” Stimpson said,; Boniface IV dedicated thpi Pantheon in Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all ‘ the martyrs. In southern Europe Halloween apparently absorbed some of the customs formerly associated with the festival of Pomona, the Roman harvest feast. This probably accounts for the popular association of corn, apples, pumpkins, nuts, and other autumn products with Halloween.”' Robert Burns in his “Tam OShanter" tells of some of thei old-

Italy Defies Moscow Over Repatriations Apparently Ddes\ Not Intend To Pay Writ Reparations \ ? (UP) — Italy still owes Soviet Russia in war reparations. She has paid nothing so far and apparently , does not Intend to pay. Italy reels her dtJbt is already paid, since she claims that the Russians, hold pre-sirar Italian assets in the Balkans “in excess” of sloo,odd,oop. Iraiikn government officials are reluctant, to discuss the reparations question because “it is still in movement.” Uomment. they feel, mjght hamper Italy’s ex-

tremely slim chances of getting something from Russia. ,The situation is deadlocked and has been since after December, 11, ID4B. when Italy and Russia signed at Moscow an-adjunct to the peace treaty providing for reparations payments whi£h was never into effect. ’ I Transfer Agreed The peace ■ treaty, which Italy since has repudiated w'i(h the backing of the western powers, provided that Italy pay '■ Russia Sioo.tioo.ooo in reparations. The Moscow’ meeting w-as called to decide how payment should be effected. Both parties agreed at Moscow that Italy Was to transfer to Russia Italian properties in Romania, Bulgaria and! Hungary. In addition. Italy wap-td furnish products to. Russia to make up the differenee—if any-rbejween the Italian properties and the reparation sum. The properties were to ; be evaluated on their worth as of Sept. 8, 1943. Hf'f A mixed committee was appointed to work together in Romania, Bulgaria add Hungary to an agreement on! the valuation. They

were to finish their work by June, 1949. I Unable to Agree The claiise regarding furnishing of Italian product? provided that Italy was to send to Russia over a period of five years, beginning Sept. 15, 1649, cargo and passenger ships, fishing boats, tugs, ejectrie locomotives, ball bearings;, mercury, etc. Russia was to furnish the raw materials fpr ' the industrial products. The amount depended on the difference between the valuation placed on Italian properties in satellite countries and the SIOO,000,000 figure. Disagreement i was [ immediate. The Italians maintained —and still do—-that their Balkan properties exceeded $100,000,000 and that no further reparations were necessary. The Russians said the valuation of. Italian property was only $11.500.060 and Italy would have to send Russia .088.500,000 in? goods to tpake up she difference. i. Italy Accused On April 12. 1950 the Soviet government presented the Italian ambassador in Moscow with a note accusing Italy of violating the reparations clauses of the peace treaty. ; The note said Italy had “artificially brought up the total' value of those ((Balkan) assets” to the “obviously unreal” figure of $177.760,000 whereas their\\true value, in the Soviet view, was only sll,-
