pjred, the marble busts of chief
justices nodded slyly when any
body entered on Halloween, or
any other nightfall.
According to the oldest watch
man, this is nrit so.
The record shows that Hal
loween dates back centuries be
fore the Christian era.
Among the Celts, an ancient
people who lived in Britain,
there was an Important religious
order known as Druids. It
counted among its card-carriers
physicians, wonder workers, and
priests. To celebrate the end of
summer, they offered up sacri
fices to the pagan gods In cele
bration of what was known as
"Samhaln," which meant the
enrl of another season.
The word "Halloween" is sup
posed lo date back many hund
reds of years and Is shortened
from "All Hallow's Eve," or the
eve of "All Saints' Day."
In England there was a cus
tom of kindling bonfires on hill
tops on the last night of October
"to ward off the evil spirits."
Down across the years, Hal
loween traditionally became the
spookiest night of the year when
witches, hobgoblins, ghosts, and
every kind of gnome, spirit, or
mischievous Imp was on prowl
A Ilrillsh publishing house Inle
In the lllOU's came up with
printed form letter of Invitation
lo Halloween parties. It said,
in part:
"Dear Spook:
"You are hereby notified lo
attend a ghost convention un the
31st of October . . . Come at 8
o'clock and park your troubles
at the door. . . . The password is
'fun'. Full ghostly regalia of
sheet and pillow case will be
given each ghost on arrival
In America, some of the early
spook legends Included those of
Pennsylvania.
There it was believed that
one went out the front door
ward, picked up some grass
'wrapped it In paper and put
some under a pillow, he or she
would dream of certainty tn the
future.
One unknown American poet
went this far: "Turn your boots
toward the street; leave your
garters on your feel; put your
stockings on your head; you'll
dream of the one you're going
to wed.
Frank department store, and
Mrs Hunter, a Camp Fire Girls
official, received "V o h e 1 o"
awnrds at a banquet closing the
council's national conference
last night.

Oakland, Calif., Oct. 28 'Pi
Sen. William F. Knowland (R
Calif ) declared today it was
hard for him "to understand per
sonnel policies of an administra
tion that would fire a Dcnfcld
while retaining a Vaughan."
At the same time the Califor
nia senator, a member of the sen
ate armed services committee,
called for the resignation of
Navy Secretary Francis P. Mat
thews. The blast at (he administration
and the navy secretary followed
President Truman's announce
ment yesterday he had fired Ad
miral Louis Denfeld as chief of
naval operations on the advice
of Matthrws. Denfeld's ouster
enme aflcr he had bitterly criti
cized (he military unification.
Knowland's reference to "a
Vaughan" apparently was aimed
at the president's military aide.
Maj. Gen Harry It. Vaughan,
who figured recently In a con
gressional investigation. The
probe was made into alleged
claims of certain men that they
could obtain government con
tracts for businessmen because

high places.
Knowland's statement aald In
part:
"The removal of Admiral Dcn
fcld by the president at the In
sistence of Secretary of Navy
Francis P. Matthews now makes
it Imperative, for the good of the
service, that the president be
free to select a new civilian head
of the navy department. Under
the circumstances Matthews
should now submit his resigna
tion that a new top team can
properly function."
