the uniforms of the united nations ~that He will receive into His. infinite grace those who make their supreme sacrifice in the cause' of righteousness and love of Him and His teachings.”

“It is not easy to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to you, my fellow Americans, in this time of destructive] “Nér can I lightly say ‘Merry Christmas’ | tonight to qur armed forces at their battle stations all over‘the world— or to our allies who fight by their side.” ‘Our Traditional Way’ Yet, the President said, Ameéricans will celebrate Christmas “in our traditional American way.” = That is because, he explained, of Yogays “deep spiritual meaning to because Christ's teachings are ea in American lives, and because “we want our youngest | generation to grow up knowing the significance. of this tradition and the story of the coming of the immortal Prince. of Peace and nie will.”

“But in perhaps every home. in the United States,” the President continued, - “sad and anxious thoughts will be continually with the millions of our loved ones who are suffering hardships and misety, and who are risking their very lives to.preserve for us and for all. mankind, the fruits of His teachings and the foundation of civilization | itself.” Overseas, he said the Christmas} spirit “lives tonight in the bitter cold of the front lines in Europe and in the heat of the jungles and swamps of Burma and the Pacific islands.”

He said that “even the roar of| &

our bombers and fighters in the air and the guns of cur ships at sea” would not drown out the Christinas messages which come to the hearts of the fighting men.

‘Thoughts Go Out . ..’

“The thoughts of these men. tonight,” Mr. Roosevelt said, will turn to us here at home around ourj

their Christmas stockings and gifts —just as our thoughts go out to, them, tonight and every night, 'in their distant places.” Mr. Roosevelt traced briefly" the “recent years of, deep darkness” through which, he said, this generation had passed, spread of Hitlerism, rise of Japan's militarism and imperialism, the fall of France, ruthless bombing of 2ngland, desperate battle of the Atlantic, Pearl Harbor and Corregidor and Singapore. “Since then,” he said, “the pray-! ers of good men and women and! children the world over have been answered. The tide of battle has turned, slowly, but inexorably, against. those who sought to destroy civilization.” And then he said it was rot posgible to say when vietory would come, and uttered his prayer for the doom of the enemies and their “evil works.”

4 “We Pray for New Day”

"We pray,” he concluded, ‘that with victory will come a new day ‘of pedce on earth in which all nations of the earth will join together for all time. That is the spirit of Christmas, the holy day. May the spirit live and’ grow ttiroughout the world in all the years to. come.’; The President's speech last night was a feature of the annual national community Christmas tree ceremony in the White House grounds. Police admitted 15,462 persons through the two south gates to witness the program, which included singing by a chorus of WAVES and seamen from the navy school of music here. The actual tree lighting was dispensed with this year as a measure of conservation.

ROBBERS’ OWN GUN

A Washington st, merchant foiled an attempted holdup over the weekend, firing two shots at the wouldbe robbers with their own weapon, Richard C. Moses, 44 Bankers lane, told police two men stepped up to him about 9:30 p. m, Saturday as| he closed up the National Shirt Co. store at 4 E, Washington st. “This is a hold up,” they said to him. He said he swung around suddenly, apparently knocking a revolver from the hand of one of the men. Mr. Moses Said he saw the revolver fall and grabbed for it as the two holdup men dashed to Meridian

said he fired two shots as the men escaped but that neither apparently struck them. Clyde Coleman, 48, of 4473 Washington blvd, brother of the owner of the Cracraft Laundry, 414 N, East st., discovered this morning burglars had broken into the laundry sometime over the week-end and had battered open the firm's safe, He said $100 in cash and an undetermined number of postage

Gibson, Creator

Of Pin-Ups, Dead

NEW YORK, Dec. 25 (U. P.).— Charles Dana Gibson, glorifier of the American girl who died Saturday, was the most famous illus trator of his generation. In the gay mineties he created the pine up girl whose Petty and Varga granddaughters hang today on barracks and dormitory walls. The pompadours and hour-glass figures of his pen and ink American beauties preserved for succeeding generations the; romantic flavor of a gay and exciting era. Collier's paid him $1000 a drawing. Mr, Gibson was born in Roxbury, Mass., on Sept. 14, 1867. He was a descendent of Governor

Bradford of the Plymouth colony and Puritan Clergyman John Cotton, He always maintained that the Gibson girl was a composite of many models and many women, but a romantic public insisted she actually was Irene Langhorne, the Virginia beauty, who became Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson on Nov. 7,

stamps were taken.
