Cadet Richard D. Siegrest, 22. of Portland. Ore., whose 72-hour pass won't permit him to get home for Christmas, was operating a special Christinas Eve taxi serv ice free driving busy last minute shoppers anywhere in this central Texas city they want to go. Said Siegrest: "I just wanted to do something for the other fellow here at Christ mas time. I see lots of people load ed down with bundles and I . de cided they might appreciate a ride." So Siegrest. stationed at James Connally Air Force Base near here, drove his 1949 car downtown Wednesday morning and started offering people rides ... just anybody. He said for a little while folks appeared skeptical. So he had a cardboard sign painted and stuck it on his car. It said: "Christmas courtesty car. anywhere in the city." Since then Siegrest's been doing a land-office business. . Air Force Finds No Evidence of Space Visitors WASHINGTON in The Air Force aid Wednesday it has no evidence that beings from some other world have visited this plan et, but added that it would be un reasonable to deny that such a thing could happen. "The Air Force has absolutely no evidence of isitors from space," a prepared statement said. The Air Force released its state ment in response to a question from the magazine See as to wheth er visitors from outer space had landed on the earth from flying saucers. The magazine said that two recent books contained such statements. Although many sharks are dan gerous to men or animals in the water, others feed on nothing but microscopic sea animals and plants.

AT Ferelga News Analyst Pope Pius XII has Issued a aad and sobering message for Christ mas Day in a divided and con fused world. In six years of savage hot war and almost eight years of cruel cold war. the temporal leader of the world's - Roman Catholics hag found a mounting, world-wide as sault upon the dignity of the hu man spirit as man, in his con fusion, tries to pull himself lrom the morass by purely mechanical means. "Human society," says the Pon tiff, "is not a machine, and It must not be made such, even la the economic field." In one half of the divided world. the dialectic of Marx in the dis torted interpretation of Stalin is being applied to human problems as an electronic brain might te fed a problem in calculus. But there are1 factors in the hu man spirit which are beyond mech anical calculation, and when the result of the experiment becomes blurred, the master calculators in the anger of frustration wreak ra venge upon the innocent. Warns Free Nations On the -ither side of the world, the Pontiff seems, to be warning, the free nations in the very in tense effort to keep th mselves free are finding themselves forced Into repressions which Impinge upon personal liberty aid human dignity. ' This is an Important me age and an eloquent one. Perhaps the Pope is - warning the , western world that in attempting to ' fight fire with fire it runs the risk of searing itself beyond rei ir. The Pope put it this way: "First the real war and then the 'cold war" forcibly drove social re- -lationx towards an inevitable cur- . tailment of- liberty itself, while in another part of the world this ten dency has reached the ultimate Consequences of its development," What is the answer to this dang- er the danger that in fighting to-, talitarianism we may embrace some of its more serious cimes? Answer Given The Pope gives his answer: The substitution of enlightened self -in- . terest iirough mutual help. Instead of blind selfishness. But man cannot save himself, the Pontifff continues, through any ready-made panaceas or any mechanical devices designed to fit men's hearts and minds into pre fabricated molds. I This struggle we all face today is the battle of the individual for .his ow soul, for his own dignity of spirit, i No preordained set of rules can be laid down to bring order to so ciety. I To save itself, western clviliza- . tion must pin its faith and its hope . on co-operation for the common good, the Pontiff seem to bp tell ing us on mutual -understanding and on enlightened realization that in the promotion of the general welfare the -t of all men may be bettered. FINE LESSON LONDON (INS) The house wife slammed the door on the man trying to sell logs. The brass door-handle fell off. The log -sell- . er, 20-year-old Londoner Thomas Major, then walked off with the handle. Major, who was fined $8.50 for theft at a West London court, told the Judge: "The lady , of the house was a bit rude, so I took her door-knob to teach her a lesson." t Christmas! r- i
