Tragic Tale No doubt you have had many a Merry Christmas but how about the sad ones? The saddest Christmas Dorothy Lamour re calls is one in New Orleans when she was 11. For Christmas dinner on that occasion Dorothy and her mother had canned corn and ham loaf. Certainly a de pressing menu for a Yuletide meal. When they were kids, the Marx brothers had a similar sad experience. Living in a threatri- cal boarding house they were served mackerel for their Christ mas dinner. Only a Woman It was in the poem titled "The Betrothed" that Rudyard Kip ling included the frequently quoted line, "A Woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke." In this celebrated poem written 70 years ago, Kipling mentioned two brands of Havana cigars that are still retailed and continue popular among discern ing smokers. , Making the Grade Henry Ford Sr. once said, "I never saved a cent until I was 40 years old. I invested in my self, in my studies, in my tools, above all in mastering myself. I had nothing at 40 except more knowledge than my competitors. At 50 I was one of the richest men in the world."

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The im mediate events leading up to Nikita S. Khrushchev's blast at President. Ei senhower b e gan with a United States blunder at the Geneva sum mit confer ence. The word as President Ei senhower took off for the Lyle C. Wilson July meeting in Geneva was that the United States would make some pow erful propaganda medicine there. It was to be done in a nice way, not offensively. But it was to be effective. One of Mr. Eisenhower's best propaganda bets was the slave status of captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain. American citi zens of Czech, Polish, Slovak and such ancestry had an ear cocked for what the President would say in Geneva in protest against the Communist slave state system. 1 Smiles Block Punch They listened in vain. The American determination to strike a real blow for the captive nations faded under the phony smiles of Khruschev, Soviet Communist Party , chief, and Premier Nikolai Bulganin. The odds are long that Mr. Eisen hower did not pull his punches on that issue by advice of Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les. But the punches were pull ed, and the President was not long in regretting it. Within a matter of days after the President's return here, the administration realized its mis take. The Russian bear already was shucking his sheep's cloth ing. So Mr. Eisenhower began to repair his mistake. The repair job began Aug. 24 in his address to the American Bar Association in Philadelphia. He hit hard in three short para graphs. "The domination of captive countries cannot longer be jus tified by any claim that this is needed for purposes of security. "An international political machine, operating within the borders of soverign nations for their political and ideological subversion, cannot be explained away as a cultural movement. Not Part of Peace "In justice to others and to ourselves, we never can accept those wrongs as a part of the peace that we desire and seek." The President's Christmas message broadcast to the captive nations was a substantial re statement of that position. It did not make the United States po sition any firmer; it. merely said again that this country does not and will not accept the condi tions presently imposed by the Soviet . Union on most of its neighbors. Perhaps Khruschchev did not hear it the first time. He got the Christmas message all right, however; and so, no doubt, did the millions of American citizens and voters who came themselves from the captive states or were born of immigrant parents. There will be more of the same and more after that. In the lofty phrases of the late Al Jolson: You ain't heard noth in' yet.
