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."

note delivered to Red China Fri
day demanding the release of 13
Americans imprisoned on
"trumped-up" spy charges.
Delivered by Britain
The note, delivered to the
Chinese through British chan
nels, did not say what might
happen if China persisted in its
mistreatment of U. S. citizens.
Its delivery came one day after
President Eisenhower promised
families of the 13 imprisoned
Americans that "your govern
ment is . using every feasible
means" to obtain their freedom.
The note was delivered by the
British to Red China's ' charge
d'affairs in London' after the
Chinese Communist diplomat in
Geneva snubbed an American
demand for a face-to-face meet
ing there. U. S. Consul General
Franklin C. Gowen had planned
to dress down the Chinese for un
just imprisonment of the 13
Americans if the Geneva meet
ing came about. '
Orders to Protest v
Officials said Gowen was still
under orders to protest directly
to the Chinese Communist repre
sentative if the Red diplomat fi
nally agrees to the conference.
The U. S. note, one of the
strongest in recent years, brand
ed sentencing of the 11 Air Force
men and two civilians a "patent
violation" of the Korean armis
tice, "wrongful" and "grossly
contrary to the substance and
spirit of all recognized interna
tional standards as to the pro
tection of prisoners of war. '
