O. P. in Congress Set for Geographical Power Battle By RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 A geographical battle for legislative power has broken out among the Republican!; in House and Senate, matching the north-south conflict among the Democrats in congress. In the GOP ranks, however, it is a struggle between the increasing ly important far west, mainly California, and eastern stalwarts. The surprising defeat of Rep resentative Harris KUsworth, Re publican from Oregon, has left the coastal region without any mem ber on the all-powerful House Rules committee. It is this group which has the final voice on what legislative measures may be con- Peart Haibor, Hawaii (7:55 a.m., Hawaiian time; 1.25 P.M., KST.j Totally lost, Battleship Arizona, Severely damaged, Battleships Okla homa, Nevada, California, West Virginia, 3 destroyers, 1 target ship, 1 minelayer.

Japs lost 828 planes to the Navy, 20 to the Army and three subma rines of 45 tons each. Casualties: Navy, 2.117 officers and men killed, 8fi0 missing, 876 wounded; Army, 226 officers and men killed, 3 wounded. There have been many investigations of the Pearl Harbor attack, official and unofficial to fix the blame, the Japanese always contending that they wore forced into it by the diplo matic treatment of the United Slates foreign policy. Much criticism of the Roosevelt, administration of the "hind-siRht" type followed but Ex-Presidont Herbert Hoover recently quoted a speech he made June 29, lf)41, nnosinc U.S. Intervention bv entering World War II in alliance wilh Russia, which could be classed as accurate foresight criticism. He said: "The Gargantuan jest of nil history would be If we should give aid In Stalin in the war. I said the result would he to spread Communism over the world. I urged that we stand aside while these two mon gers "Hitler and Stalin) exhausted each other; that if we stood aside the time would come when we could, bv our strength, bring lasting peace to the world. That was our gospel and we have no regrets." , Among the by-products of U. S. intervention was the "cold-, war" of Russia, the Soviet enslavement of the Baltics, the Balkans and East Germany, the communist conquest of China, the constant strain put on the United Slates to prevent world conquest by communism, organization of the NATO and its defense bases as well as the financing of the United Nations. And now comes the Suez Canal crisis and the mass murders of Hungarians. Our intervention in World War I, the "war to end all wars" and bring enduring peace, failed largely because while Presi dent Woodrow Wilson had an idealist vision with his League at Nations, an opposition congress had a myopic viewpoint i and refused cooperation. In consequence instead of free na tions power-mad dictators emerged, bringing on World War1 II. President Truman is said to have remarked that the mistake U.S. made in intervention in World War II was in not letting Hitler conquer Russia and then intervening to wipe out Hitler. He was right but it was hindsight. Uet us hope we have no more grandiose crusades to have a world that doesn't want to be saved and resents such efforts and even our rehabilita tion of devastated nations. G. P. every section feels it essential to have representation on this club within a club. electoral chamber. But Scott's advocates maintain that California has already been given all the recognition it de serves, and that the geographtca balance of power has been upset. They refer, of course, to the fact that three Californians now occupy top positions namely, Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Sen ate Minority Leader William F, Knowland and Chief Justice Karl Warraj.

Moreover, the chairman and the real boss of the House Rules committee is J. Howard Smith of Virginia, an unrecon structed Democrat.

Right now he's playing the stock market in an ellort to puts uV enough cash to tide him over from one Christmas to another. "Even a jolly old Santa likes lo eat regularly." said Santa. "I sure wish I could get on a steady pavroll. As it is my work is highly seasonal, only about two months out of the year. "I can't get enough consecutive weeks of work to draw unem nlnvment insurance. I had to, go into the stock market. This year I hope to top the 53,000 a year bracket." Santa Is Lucky St. Squire, a nnrilv Gentleman in his 50s with a genuine foot-long white beard. It s the real beard he feels, that sets him apart from the phonies in the ho!-ho!-ho!-ana-rea-siocK-ing-cap industry. "I gave ud two other careers to take up this one." said Squire, who Is top man in his field and wants it clearly understood he is no Bowery-type Kris Kringle. Squire, who was Dorn in Hun gary (and likes to pun, "I still am hungry"), has been a lay preacher, a physical therapist nd a ctnidren s camp counselor. About 10 years ago his old-fash ioned moustache began to whiten and the camp kids started calling him Santa Claus. I decided I would be Santa Claus," recalled Squire. It took me two years to grow the beard. "Since then at least a million children have sat on my lap and told me what they wanted for Christmas. During the season I work sometimes from 7 a.m. to midnight. I've worked for a dozen department stores. I've been on calendars, greeting cards, in newspaper and magazine ads, beauty pagents, auto shows, radio television. "Why don't you stick to one de partment store?" 'Each move I made I bettered himself," said Squire, who Is a stout (222 pounds) advocate of the He starts fattening up In October, is ready to go by No vember. His art has its stern de mands. Because of his beard he had to give up cigar smoking ("stained it yellow"!, he has lo avoid spaghetti, and he finds it difficult to drink from water cooler. "It is not too easy to be a Santa," he said. "The first and hardest thing to master is the merry ho-ho-hos. You have to be able to break out laughing with out any provocation." Squire has two fancy Santa out fits that cost him $150 apiece ("the ermine is ermine"), and two hard-work outfits that cost about $100 each '"the ermine is rabbit"). How does Santa fare In the stock market? "Pretty well," he admitted. "I am welcome any time of the year in Wall Street. They all want Santa's money. "I was in uranium at one time I had 100,000 shares (that could he S1.000 or more) but lately I've been bullish on U.S. oil stocks, "But for real dynamic action give me the commodity markets particularly eggs or onions. I made $200 on eggs recently, that is, until the market went down again. I'm still holding in. "I'm licensed to sell real estate or stocks myself.
