LISBON, Portugal—You must call it “Leeze-bone,” this only free seaport city left in Europe.
: If.you can say it “Leeze-bone,” then you're a bonafide European traveler. If you, say it “Leeze-bow” youre a Portuguese and live here. If you say it ‘ “Liz-bun” you're a plain American. 3 Today in Lisbon there is somebody from everywhere. This city is the temporary pasture for all those of Europe fortunate enough to escape. It is the needle’s eye through which must pass all nonfighting iravel between Europe and anywhere else. .
A, month ago it was estimated there were 20,000 refugees in Portugal. There are probably fewer now. for they are being worked : out gradually, and Portugal has tightened her borders against newcomers. You can’t get a visa for Portugal now uniess you show a ticket taking you on beyond. Most, of the refugees are in or around Lisbon. A good portion of them hope some day to get to America. Others go to colonize in other lands—South America and the Belgian Congo. Just since eur arrival a whole shipload of Greeks has left for the Dutch East Indies. The majority of the refugees had money originally, or they couldn’t have greased their flight from their home countries. But most couldn’t bring much with them. And living costs in Lisbon, although low by our standards, are high by European. So they live close to their belts. _Lisbons is not a gay place of high night life. Most refugees count their pennies.
Plight of the Refugees
The foreign consulates are constantly besieged. At 8 dozen places that we have already visited for our own official- papers, huge crowds mill about tiny counters, as package-mailers do at home the week before Christmas. The staff of the American consulate here has been greatly enlarged, yet they are working as intensely as newspapermen just before edition time. Desperation drives people to many ruses. The consulate clerks have heard so many phony stories
Inside Indianapolis And “Our Town’)
PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Frank M. Samuel, the quiet man behind-the-scenes who keeps the American Legion ticking year in and year out. He handles an amazing amount of details with machine-
A World War corporal, he is the national adjutant, second in command of more than one million ex-service men—and top man when the National Commander is absent. He has been on the job since 1924, serving under a different Commander each year. And to his executive ability the Legion owes much of its success. Mr. Samuel, just 50, is a little fellow below the average height— about 5 feet, 6 inches—and stockily built. His hair is thinning and he’s rather sensitive about it. He’s careful in keeping himself in good condition through setting up exercises, diet and horseback riding. He tries to keep his weight at 145 pounds, and will starve himself to do it. He has lived at the Spink Arms Annex many years. A bachelor, he admits shyly to people he knows weil that he used to go with the girl who now is Alf Landon’s wife. He is reserved, introspective and a bit hard to know at first.
Apartment in Oriental Style
HIS APARTMENT IS ONE of the most interesting in town. It’s done in oriental style—the result of four years in China as a young man. The walls are gold-colored, and Chinese red is used lavishly in decorations. Rare old Chinese tapestries adorn the walls. An altar cloth centuries old has figures with beards of real hair. Other treasures include a beau tiful jade lamp and a real Buddha. i Far from being a hodge-podge, the apartment is tastefully arranged. Mr. Samuel is always on the lookout for some new Chinese: furnishings, but he won’t buy them unless he has a definite spot in mind for them. Born in Downing, Mo., he went to China as soon as he was out of college and at 22 became an English instructor at Canton Christian College, now Lingman University. Back home again four years later, he en-
Washington
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The new super-defense council created by President Roosevelt is in conformity with suggestions made by William 8. Knudsen and in the belief of most persons here is a distinct improvement over the present setup. Mr, Knudsen is to be director of the new council and other members are to be Secretary of War Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Knox and Sidney Hillman. Mr. Hillman, in charge of labor relations on the old defense commission, is to be assistant director for the new council. This brings: into one compact group the top men on the firing line of the defense effort—the heads of the Army and Navy, who are the consumers of the goods and who know what is needed, the

they practically suspect everybody. Yet they seem to have an attitude of tenderness toward everybody too, as if to say “You poor devils.” * Most of the refugees are German Jews, and people from the Balkan countries. But now there are lots of Belgians and French too. Many of them are trying to get to England. And England, whenever it can get transportation, will take them in. There are few Americans here. They say that 150 at any one time would cover it, including those stationed here. N Ye There are no Americans in business here. Foreigners aren't allowed to work in Portugal. Lisbon is prospering from its refugees, and it wants to keep things under its own control.
Prices Are Reasonable
Hotels have raised. their prices, yet to us they seem very reasonable. At our pension we are paying only $1.80 each a day for both room and board. At the best hotels, room and meals cost less than $6— when you can get in. Restaurants here are excellent. There are half a dozen that would satisfy any international epicure. Last night I had the best steak since Buenos Aires. And with all the trimmings it came to only 80 cents. People certainly do eat here... In Lisbon food abounds, they pile it on, they even waste it—while the rest of Europe draws closer to starvation. On the whole, I believe Lisbon is cleaner than most American cities. it glistens. And it is vastly larger than I had expected—it is nearly a million people. There are traffic jams just a8 at home. ‘The sidewalks are made of flat-topped stones, walnut size, laid in weird designs of black and white as are the sidewalks in Rio. I wish we did that in the States. : : The streets are practically all of cobblestone, but they're not as rough as the cobblestones of Central American cities. The city is speckled with parks and circles and statues. . There are scme palm trees, and the ordinary trees still have leaves on them. But don’t let such greenery, and such bright sun, and such blue skies, pull any wool over your eyes.. An old friend’s description of southern California fits Lisbon perfectly right now. He said, “You can lie down under a rosebush in full bloom and freeze to death.” That's Lisbon too.
listed in the 353d (Kansas) Infantry and served overseas. The Armistice cheated him out of a commission. He’s been active in the Legion since its organization. He started in 1919 as assistant department adjutant of Kansas, became assistant national adjutant in 1926 and moved to adjutant in 1932.
Modest—But No ‘Yes’ Man
MR. SAMUEL HAS A TRANQUIL disposition hard to rile. Modest, he prefers to stay in the background. He goes out of the way to avoid offending anyone, but definitely isn’t a “yes” man. Once he makes up his mind, it stays made up. : His friends say he’s “typically English.” He’s rather serious but his sense of humor crops out when least expected. He's punctilious about correspondence and remembering friends’ birthdays. He's a stickler for Perfor English and for keeping appointments on ime. : He’s a better than fair contract bridge player. Fond of classical music, he plays the piano well. He's conservative in most everything, from his clothing to his smoking. He budgets his money and his time as well, alloting himself a certain amount of time for sleep, for reading good books, for recreation and chatting with friends. He likes to get full value for his money, but he’s not stingy. In fact, he’s a sucker for distressed LeFionhuires hard luck stories—even if he’s heard them efore. ;
No. 1 Hobby—Horseback Riding
HIS NO. 1 HOBBY IS HORSEBACK riding—has been ever since he spent a college vacation on a Wyoming sheep ranch. He rides four or five times a week, has had a horse at the Algonquin Riding Stables since he first came here. His present. horse, “King of Hearts,” is a three-gaited bay. re Mr. Samuel also is fond of airplane riding. Much in demand as a speaker, h: travels 15,000 miles a year, much of it by air. ‘He has had two close calls, The first was in China, when he was riding with friends in fhe hills hen Cauton, Bandits opened fire on them. e nex ay the bandits apologized, sayin thought they were soldiers. hyles ying bw Last April, an airliner in which he was riding overturned in landing.

It is very white, and from a distance]
By Joe Collier NDIANAPOLIS astronomers have a special interest in the 1940 Christmas season as an old and fascinating question occu-
pies their attention again. What was the Star of Bethle-
{ hem? ;
For 1900 years there has been much discussion about the Star of Bethlehem which appeared to the Wise Men of the East as they journeyed to Judea. - No one as yet can say what it was, and no one may ever be able to say. But there are three principal theories, two of which will have illustrations in December skies and one of which was spectacularly illustrated a few years’ ago. Emsley W. Johnson, Indianapolis attorney and a leading amateur astronomer, finds this prob-. lem one of the most fascinating of all astronomy, and today he summarized the problem and the solutions which have been advanced. It is written that “when Jesus
in the days of Herod the King, be-
the east to Jerusalem, saying . ‘Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship him.’ “When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the ‘people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. . « » Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, ‘Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found Him, bring me word again, ‘that I may come and worship Him also!’ “When they had heard the king they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.” ” ” ” OR many years, now, astronomers have studied this story carefully. At the time the Gospel of St. Matthew was written, the
course of the stars and planets was not understood. It may be that the star was not a star at
in line in the sky to make them appear exceptionally bright. The statement that it “stood still” may have been figuratively. The appearance of objects in the sky is often very deceptive. A meteor or shooting star sometimes appears to be only a short dis-' tance away when it is thousands of miles farther on.

Whether Mr. Roosevelt will place this council as much on its own as Mr. Wilson placed Mr. Baruch has not been indicated. But, by various signs, it is clear to all informed persons in Washington that Mr. Roosevelt has great confidence in Mr. Knudsen and is leaning more and more heavily on him. In general this move should meet with the approval of industrialists and political critics who have been asking that Mr. Knudsen be made practically a dictator of defense.

The three principal explanations given of the Star of Bethlehem are: (1). It is most commonly be-
lieved that it was a novae or _ suddenly enlarged star. Sometimes these are called exploding stars. A star which has been charted in the sky for centuries at the same magniture may suddenly become much larger. This happened ‘a few years ago when a star in the constellation of Hercules, which had been charted as a star of the seventh magnitude, changed to the first magnitude. For centuries this star had keen seen only dimly with the naked eye and all at once it became the most prominent star in the constellation. After remaining as a bright star for a few months, it began to fade until it resumed its former dimness. That was called the Novae Hercules.
a ” ”
HAT light that was seen coming from this star in Hercules travelled at the rate of 186,000 miles a second. But the exploding star is so far away from the world that astronomers have " calculated the explosion took place about the time of the fall of the Roman Empire, and that the light took about 1400 years to reach here. A novae may be an exploding
Hermit's Death ‘Reveals $10,000
NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (U. P.).— Freddy Strow, 66, the hermit of Bedford St., died as he had lived —alone. Police forced the door of his room and found him lying on his pallet of burlap bags. The landlady said that for three years the old man had stayed close to his one-room apartment and that with the money he gave her each day she had bought what groceries®he needed. She said he probably had little more than a few dollars. Police searched through scattered papers in his room for evidence of relatives. They had opened tin cans on the shelves and found bank books showing Freddy had more than $10,000 in five

group of stars lined up. The net result is a very bright new star and this may be a very good explanation for the Star of Bethlehem. (2) On Aug. 15 of this year, Jupiter and Saturn were only about two and a half moon diameters apart. They separated for a time and then grew nearer on Oct. 11. They are separating now, but will be close again on Feb. 20 and then will go their separate ways. Such an alignment, resulting in a specially bright place in the sky, may have been the Star of Bethlehem. They will not appear in the same line again, after Feb. 20, until January, 1961, but this will occur in daylight and will not be visible from here. The next time .they will line up so that it will be visible from here will be October, 1980.
POPE TO HAVE SOLEMN YULE

In 1603 the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter excited the great astronomer Kepler. He calculated backward and found that a conjunction happened in 7 B. C. This may have been the true.time of the birth of Christ and may have been the Star of Bethlehem. In 1064 Xepler saw Mars in line with these two planets and again calculated backward. He found this had occurred before in 6 B. C.

There is an advantage in having Secretary Stimson and Secretary Knox tied in with Mr. Knudsen in the production effort. Much delay has been caused by inability to bring the Army and Navy together on specifications. The traditional individualism of the two servicés is hard to break down. Each wants to continue doing things the way it has always done them. Some progress has been made in unifying specifications. Much more could be done with the heads of the Army and Navy working much closely with the production chief.
With Mr. Roosevelt's backing, these four men can cut through much red tape and delay. By gentlemen's agreements, by informal discussion, they can arbitrarily make decisions on matters that become hung up among subordinates down the line. Speedy decisions ane badly needed. Mr. Knudsen would: have a means of getting them through this super-council that he does not have now as merely one of a whole horde of defense officials. 5

My Day
By Eleanor Roosevelt
WASHINGTON, Friday.—A short time ago, I talked to a French woman and an American woman who have lately been in Lisbon. They led me to think along the following lines. There was a time when this country of ours felt strong enough in its devotion to democracy to accept political refugees, just as they accepted the immigration of large groups of people for the economic development of the country. Gradually, as the need for labor has decreased, we have looked over more carefully the people whom we wished to accept. We have not shut ourselves off from accepting all new blood. We know there are people it is worth our while to acquire as citizens of the future, because of their value from the economic standpoint as well as the racial. In the case of people who come to our shores, not for econorhic reasons but because their ideas, intellectual or political, have clashed with. those of the rulers of the country in which they lived, it has also become more complicated. For one reason, democracy has become more complicated, fewer people understand it. Fewer people really know what they want democracy to mean in their nation. Until we clarify our own minds again,
it is well not to complicate matters by bringing in too many conflicting elements. However, just as new blood is important from the racial ‘and economic standpoint, new blood is important from the intellectual and political standpoint. We have today a very great opportunity. People who have been known and recognized in the world as great scientists, educators, writers and sociologists are all seeking new homes. It will be short-sighted indeed on our part if we do not contine the policy which has worked so well in the past—to enrich .our own land by inviting into our midst those people who have a contribution to make to civilization. We gave a dinner last night in honor of Her Royal Highness, the Princess Juliana. It was the first big dinner of the winter and gave us an opportunity to greet a great many friends. This morning we bade our Dutch guests goodby with real regret. I forgot to tell you the other day about a group of people who came to see me in the interests of encouraging the establishment of American fashion trends. Mrs. Chase, Miss Shaver, Mrs. Snow and Miss Ellis all belong to the Fashion Group, Inc. in New York City. : : : The group has more than a thousand members with branches in eight cities. I have always believed that American designers could in some cases create the clothes and accessories needed for the life of the American woman more successfully than the French or Austrians and this is the opportunity to prove it.
