The Pope spoke in Italian over Vatican Radio, which later rebroadcast the speech in 30 languages. It was beamed to nations round the world, including those behind the Iron and Bamboo curtains. He decried the persecution of Christians In Communist countires, specifically meni 11 o n ing Communist China. He also appealed for' the return to the church of Rome of dissident eastern churches whose members include more than 50 million persons. “The birth of Our Lord means the announcement of Unity and peace on all the earth, a renewed pledge of good will placed at the service of order, of justice, of fraternity among all Christian peoples, all together moving in a common desire of comprehension, of great respect to the sacred liberties of collective life in the triple religious, civil and social order," the Pope said. ",.. May the Lord allow that this invitation be heard everywhere. In many parts of the world there are no ears for this invitation, namely where the most sacred nations of Christian civilization are suffocated or extinguished, wherever the spiritual MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

and divine orders are shaken and the conception of supernatural life has been weakened, it is said to notice the beginning of evils whose testimonials are common knowledge. "Even if we wanted to be kind in judging, in excusing, in commiserating the gravity of the atheistic and materialistic situation to which some nations were, and are subjected, and under which they are- groaning, the slavery of the individuals and the masses, slavery of thought and of works is undeniable,” the Pope said. Two More Indicted In Fund Shortage Secret Indictments Returned At Albion ALBION, Ind. (UPD—The case of the two million dollar credit union shortage in Noble County spread today to include two new persons named in secret indictments. A Noble County Grand Jury returned the two secret indictments late Monday plus a third which accused Arnold G. Hobbs, 32, former manager of the Noble County’ Credit Union, of embezzling $3,500 from the firm last July 14. Hobbs already was named in 17 earlier indictments charging embezzlement. Hobbs and Edwin A. Cambridge, 49, a former examiner for the State Board of Financial Institutions, were in jail here —Hobbs in lieu of $86,400 bond, and Cambridge in lieu of $2,000 bond. The former examiner was arrested at his Greenwood home during the weekend on an indictment charging that he “did knowingly assist Hobbs through an incorrect and false examination of books and records in concealing the commission of the crime.” The crime referred to in the indictment was the alleged embezzlement of $2,500 from Kimmel Readi-Mix & Materials Inc., which belonged to the credit union. The accessory cnarge carries the same penalty as embezzlement, 2 to 20 years imprisonment. Noble Circuit Judge Kenneth A. king was expected to set bond for Hobbs on the new indictment today. Qamtridge appeared before King iV-onday for a preliminary hearing. Cambridge was suspended from his state job when he failed to explain his part in the case. He resigned Dec. 5.

Stangland Hearing Set For Wednesday Running Fight On Government Charge ALBION, Ind. (UPD — Ethan Stangland, the Noble County farmer whose running fight with the Department of Agriculture over wheat acreage restrictions has attracted national iriterest, is slated for a Dec. 24th hearing before a federal judge at South Bend. Stangland’s fight dates back to 1954 when a $394.24 fine was assessed against him on charges that he overpianted his wheat allotment. At various times, the farmer’s two tractors have been seized for payment of the fine, which now has grown to more than S6OO with added penalties and interest. But the tractors were returned, to him temporarily by Judge Robert A. Grant on grounds of improper seizure. The Dec. 24 date for a hearing on the main issue came as a surprise to Stangland who wrote to area newspapers saying “I help but feel that it was planned for this time to keep you newsmen and the farmers from attending.” The day-before-Christmas date before Grant on the Sept. 23 seizure of the bigger of Stangland’s two tractors.

Renew Attempts To End Papers' Strike Newspaper Strike Costly To Economy NEW YORK (UPD - Federal mediators, stressing the costliness of New York’s newspaper walkout on the city’s economy, renewed their efforts today to end the truck drivers strike which has forced the suspension of nine dailies. Walter Maggiolo of Washington, director of mediation activities, announced that the mediation panel is exploring "new approaches” toward a settlement and that both parties in the dispute have promised to “seriously study" the suggestions advanced. After meeting with the panel until a late hour Monday night, representatives of the Publishers Association of New York and the Independent Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union agreed to resume negotiations today. Originally, the publishers offered to grant a $7 wage increase package, over two years—a $4 a week raise the first year, $3 a week more, the second.

Continuing Fight On Tuberculosis In World -

By DF.LOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD — In Kan- ‘ sas the annual new cases rate for tuberculosis is about 15.5 per hundred thousand population. In the 1 central Harlem district of New York City it was approximately 800 per hundred thousand, despite ' the concentrated efforts of one of the most efficient public health ] departments in the world. The central Harlem thousands ' live close-packed in tenements, often five and six to a room, in a condition doctors call “physio ; logical misery. ’* That condition among people crowded together always favors tubercle bacillus. Even during the past 10 years of steady decline, TB rates have consistently increased in war-torn countries. ' ’< . What tuberculosis experts would like most are a vaccine capable of bestowing reliable and long; term immunity, and drugs capable of killing all the tubercle bacilli in a human body quickly. Such a vaccine and such drugs) are the prime objective of publically and privately financed tuberculosis research. Has Drawbacks A good vdccine already exists but it has drawbacks which limits its use in the United States, prevents it from being the weapon that could wipe out the bacilli, and points up a glaring deficiency in science’s knowledge of | the disease. It is BCG. a vaccine based on an attenuated or weakened strain of the bacillus. It causes an extremely mild form of the disease which is quickly put down by body defenses, and leaves an unknown degree of immunity to any subsequent invasion of fully virulent bacilli. There is no question of it being safe — it has been in wide use in Scandinavia and other parts of Western Europe for years. The immunity it bestows varies from personto person. In some it may be long-lasting; in others it may hardly exist. There is no way of telling which person has immunity short of a challenge by virulent bacilli, but it makes all who get it “positive reactors” to the tuberculin test which can separate the TB-susceptible from the

non-susceptible. It is on this ground that U.S. medical authorities oppose its widespread use. Not Fully Understood The layman may find it hard to believe, but science does not fully uhderstand the chemical make-up of tubercule bacillus, how it breathes, multiplies, and finally dies. Nor does it know precisely how the anti-tuberculosis drugs act against bacilli. There are a number of theories,.none proved. Science also has the problem of bacilli learning to multiply despite the attacks of anfi-tubercu-losis drugs. Most scientists feel this is bound to happen some day on a large enough scale to make the present drugs more or less worthless. So far this "resistance” problem appears in only about two ret cent of the cases treated. Medical science *is losing 10 to 30 per cent of its tuberculosis cases, that is, people still die of 'the disease. The goal is to lose none, by forgiqg weapons (vaccines afnd drugs) which will permit world-wide eradication. No one can be completely safe as | long •as tubercule bacilli remain on earth.

Doubt Congress Will Increase Postal Rates Ike's Request For Increase Likely To Be Defeated WASHINGTON (UPD — President Eisenhower’s request for another postal rate increase was given little chance today of winning approval from Congress. As one House Post Office Committee source put it: “It took Congress 26 years to go from a 3 to a 4 cent stamp on letters. It’s not likely to go up another penny within one year.’’ Eisenhower announced Monday that his forthcoming budget will call for postal rate increases. He did not spell them out, but informed sources said he would renew his request ci last January for a 5 cent stamp on out-of-town letters. *. > Congress gave that proposal the cold shoulder earlier this year, but it did approve boosting the rate for both local and out-of-town letters from 3 to 4 cents. The 4-cent rate went into effect last Aug. 1, as part of a package postal rate hike which will amount to 550 million dollars annually. Rep. H.R. high ranking member of the House Post Office Committee, said there was “no chance’’ of Congress okaying a 5-cent stamp i next year. I “This is certainly not the time !to boost postage rates," Gross said. He noted that some of the increases in second and third class rates approved this year have not gone into effect yet Some of these start Jan. 1 and the others at later dates. Committee Chairman Tom Murray (D-Tenn.) said he was not ready to comment on the pro- ■ posed postage hikes at this time. Murray said he wants to see the President’s budget proposal first.
