He indicated that action at that time probably would be confined to consultation among the 21 Amerjcan republics concerning the apparent violation of the Western Hemisphere safety zone set up by | the Declaration of Panama and, possibly, a joint diplomatic protest to the belligerents. SHAKEUP LOOMS AT | COMMUNITY HOUSES
A minor personnel shakeup among community house employees was| considered by the Park Board today. | Roard members expressed their dis- | gatisfaction with the manner in which the community houses are being maintained. This sentiment followed an inspection of the houses by Board President Jackiel W, Joseph | and Paul E. Rathert. | Board members considered the possibility of having a special cleaning squad to make the rounds of all community houses to clean them up after use, instead of the present system of having two attendants in each community house to do the work.

I sme: ‘BOY, 4, BREAKS ARM IN DANCE FOR SANTA
For several weeks now, ever since the Santa Claus spirit descended on him, 4-yvear-old Ralph Edward McCammon has been lobbying (around the house for a cowboy | suit. Last night he set about to cinch it. There was a Santa Claus profram on the radio at his home, 610 Lexington Ave, and he told his grandmother, Mrs. Georgia Trusty, a County Jail police matron, that he was going to dance for Santa. “Then he'll bring me a cowboy suit,” he said. As he danced, he fell. At City Hospital an X-ray showed he had broken his right arm above the elbow. It was set and put in a cast. “Now Santa will have to bring me an extra cowboy suit,” he said.
