Noreraber 28. 1954 World's Biggest Santa Lost Between Coast and Montreal Montreal (U.R) The world's largest Santa Claus was missing Saturday somewhere between San Francisco and Montreal, and a frantic search was on for a van carting the big fellow across the continent. The giant St. Nick, who is 33 feet high and walks and talks, left Linwood, Calif., 10 days ago aboard a truck. Neither he nor the van has been heard from or seen since then. Monty Arrives on West Coast for California Talks Pasadena, 'Calif. XU.R) Field Mashal Viscount Montgomery arrived here Saturday night for a three-day stay in which he will visit California Institute ot Technology and give a major address in Los Angeles. Montgomery originally4 was scheduled to land at Los An geles International airport, but fog made it necessary for his plane to land at March , Air Force Base, Riverside. Montgomery, whose 'British Eighth army defeated Rommel at El Alamein and chased the famed "Desert Fox" across North Africa in World War II, will speak on "NATO and the defense of the free world against Communist aggression" Tuesday in Los1 Angeles. The luncheon is being sponsored by Cal Tech and the World Affairs council. ' ' Montgomery is scheduled to speak at an informal gathering of Cal Tech students and facul ty members Monday morning in Pasadena and address trustees and associates of the institute Monday night. The latter speech will deal with "the influence, of science on warfare in the .fu ture." Montgomery is now serving as deputy supreme commander, command, allied powers Eur ope. He is visiting Southern California at the invitation of Cal Tech President Dr. Lee A. Dubridge. . . t Michael Gilbert, administra tor of Dorval Gardens shopping center, said Saturday that unless the Santa was found soon, "some one had better arrange some cozy spot for me in Siberia." He said thousancs of children and their impatient parents, have been on his neck since Monday when the outsized father Christ mas, with a 10-foot waist and eyes as big as a baby's head, was to have made his appearance at the suburban center. Gilbert said both Canadian and United States Customs of ficials had been alerted to be on the lookout for the truck. It left the factory of Walter C. Woolf and Co. at Linwood a week ago last Wednesday. The big fellow, dressed in a huge red robe and with a spun glass beard, talks and walks by means of men inside the figure. Chambers Declares Facts Can't Change Westminster, Md., Nov. 27 (U.R) Whittaker Chambers said Saturday that the saddest single fact of the Alger; Hiss case is that nobody can change the facts as they are known." Neither Alger Hiss nor I, how ever much we might wish to do so, can change those facts," Chambers said. "They are there forever. That - is the inherent tragedy of the case." Chambers, former Communist Courier who helped send Hiss to prison, made the remarks. to the United Press when asked about Hiss' statement on his release from Lewisburg (Pa.) federal prison. Hiss asserted his "complete innocence" of Chambers' origi nal charges against him. Hiss said he planned to renew his ef forts "to dispel the -deception that has been foisted upon the American people." (See Siory on Page 1) . Obituaries FLOYD J.
