Holiday Devotional Services Over TV All Three Networks Will Beam Services By VERNON SCOTT United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Television’s bag of Christmas goodies rivals Santa’s sleighful of surprises for every member of the family — cartoons, great music, traditional yuletide plays and religious programs. Holiday devotional services will beam on all three networks. ABC telecasts services tonight from New York’s Cathedral of St. John The Devine. NBC offers midnight mass from St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. CBS will carry a special Christmas carol service from Washington Nation■al Cathedral, and Christmas morning service from St. Louis Cathedral. Fittingly, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen will replace the regular Wednesday night fights. For the. kiddies today’s "Mickey Mouse Club” presents a cartoon version of “The Night Before Christmas.” Wednesday night Disneyland is devoted to the adventures of “Dumbo." Special Garroway Show A special show lined up for televiewers is a half-hour Christmas Eve visit with Dave Garroway and his wife, Pamela, in their Manhattan home on NBC. Most of the regular series scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas night will include a holiday touch. "Telephone Times,” for instance, presents ’’A Picture of the Magi," a true story of Christmas in Hungary during the 1956 revolt against Communism. “West Point” tells a yuletide story of a cadet alone for the holidays. The "Bob Cummings Show” features Bob’s attempts to lure a sultry beauty under the mistletoe. . Eddie Fisher’s hour of songs and comedy will include a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" by Charles Laughton. The "Kraft Television Theater” resents “The Other Wis« Man' an adaptation of Henry Van Dyke’s story of the wise man who sets out to meet the three wise men, but stopped along the way to respond to appeals for help and so failed to visit the Christ child. Wrong Visitor Eve Arden % TV family is visited by a 7-year-old terror in the apartment building instead of Sknta Claus. Red SKltoh appears on his own show as Freddie the Freeloader who repairs broken toys for needy children with the aid* of a magic lamp. “Armstrong Circle Theater” dramatizes the story of a Paris priest who built a community for the destitute. “The Big Record" guests Sammy Kaye who joins hostess Patti Page in a Christmas program of traditional yule songs. For the Scrooges of the nation, horse operas continue to blaze away without a thought to the season. 1 “Sugarfoot,” “Tombstone Territory,” “Wyatt Earp,” "Broken Arrow” and "Wagon Train” will head ’em off at the pass—which is fair enough warning for Santa to stay the heck away from the pass. Husband's Talk Kept Wife From Drowning JACKSON. Miss. (W — A survivor of a boating accident said Monday that, "if my husband hadn’t kept talking to me I wouldn't be here for Christmas.” Mrs. Joe Morgan said her husband "kept trying to make me laugh" during the two hours they clung to their overturned boat in a lake Sunday until they were rescued. Superstitions about the periodical cicada (called the locust) are, * untrue, entomologists say. Die cicada's sting will not kill a per- ’ son nor does the “W” shaped marking on the wings mean war. They do not harm blackberries, either. !

Man Is Arrested For | Driving Stolen Car TERRE HAUTE (IP) - The FBI Monday announced the arrest of Mickey *' McClaskey, 42, Terre Haute, on charges of driving a stolen car from Indianapolis to Richmond, Ky., last June. McClaskey was released on >I,OOO bond pending trial. Parents Urged To Immunize Children Urge Immunization During Holidays INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The Indiana State Board of Health urged parents today to immunize their children against “preventable diseases” during the Christmas holidays. "In" some areas of Indiana," said State Health Commissioner Dr. A.C. Offutt, “and in the case of certain diseases, the immunization level is less than 50 per cent. In order to prevent widespread outbreaks or epidemics of communicable diseases, at least 70 per cent of the total population should be immunized.” Physicians recommend that three-months old babies be immunized against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, Offutt said. At the age of 5 or 6, booster shots are recommended and for every three or tour years after that. Six months is the age for the first polio shot, Offutt said, followed by a second dose four to six weeks later and the third at least seven months after the first. “Years ago, it was the popular belief that the so-called diseases of childhood were a normal part of growing up and that all thildren were better off if they contracted the disease prior to adulthood,” Offutt said. ‘‘Today, physicians and health officials agree that children should not be subjected to the communicable diseases, since lasting impairments to health, and frequently death, may result,” Offutt said. Offutt also urged adults to get booster shots “since communicable diseases are more serious in adults.”

Order Menial Exam In Kidnaping Case Wisconsin Man In Plea Os Innocent MADISON, Wis. (UP)—A 21-year old Madison man was confined in a mental institution today in an effort to learn his motive for the attempted abduction of a 10-year old girl. The suspect, Wendell Howes, pleaded innocent Monday in Superior Court on charges of abducting and kidnaping the girl. He was ordered to undergo a 30 - day mental examination at Mendota State Hospital. Dane County Dist. Atty. Richard Cates said he wanted a thorough investigation of the attempted abduction in nearby Middleton last Friday. Cates termed the case “peculiar” and said the abduction attempt was hard to understand. “We have no reason to know if he is a sex deviate,” Cates said, since Howes had no previous record. “In an ordinary kidnaping, there is some figuring made of

wno will be kidnaped and where you're going to take the child as well as figuring out some meeting place,’ 1 he said. “But his impulse motive leaves us up in the air as to what he Was going to do.” Howes, a father, allegedly admitted locking the girl in his car trunk and driving off with her. The girl escaped by springing the lock when the car stopped for traffic. Cates said Howes is so emotional that “when you talk to him, be starts to cry. He has to keep 'punching himself to believe what he did.” Sheriff Fred Goff said Howes' car would be examined today by state crime lab experts to determine if it contained evidence of any other crimes. However, the sheriff said he did not believe Howes was involved in the disappearance of a Sycamore, Hl., girl from her home Dec. 3. TOMORROW TOTS DAY ‘ AT Edward’s Studio
