By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York 'I? A stable note in our frantic world came today from one of the nation's busiest men at holiday time, the Santa Claus stationed in the Rocke feller Center area. Modern children have just as firm a belief in Santa Claus as we did when were were small, said John Matison, 64, a side walk Kris Kringle for the Vol unteers of America. And their tastes in toys are just as old-fashioned, he said. This, despite the 1957 array of scientific and outer-space play things from Sputnik helmets to satellite launchers. Talking Doll Inevitable "The girls inevitably ask for a walking or talking doll," said the rosy-cheeked Kris. "The boys, for. trains and bikes. Same routine every year." Matison, who at 240 pounds looks like a Santa right out of central casting, has been ring ing the bell for the Volunteers for nine years, each year in the same area. The Volunteers, a national social welfare organization, use funds tossed into the sidewalk chimneys to aid the homeless, rehabilitate the socially or phy sically handicapped, for special services to the aged, and such. Matison, a native of Latvia, is a former sailor, bricklayer's helper and railroader. Now, when his Santa role ends Christ mas Eve, he will return to work Atomic Power Not To Affect Home Very Soon By VIVIAN SANDE United Press Correspondent New York IP) Industry is spending billions of dollars to' build atomic power plants. How, and how soon, will this affect the household of Mrs. America. Not as much, and not as rap idly as many women may think, said Vice Adm. Willard Kitts III, who manages the atomic products study for the General Electric Co. But the overall out look is attractive, if not imme diately spectacular. Kitts sees atomic energy pro viding plentiful low-cost elec tricity, at first, and then improv ing the health of the family and conveniences of the home. He said, "By far the most im portant benefit to the housewife of the atomic age will be a guar antee of our supply of plentiful low-cost electricity." To Improve Products This is not going to change cooking methods themselves in a hurry, for cooking with elec tricity produced by . nuclear fuels is the same as cooking with the electricity made by the fuels we now use. The important thing, he added, is that we can count ' on always having the fuel we need, in the factory and in the home. Kitts does see atomic energy working changes in the woman's world, changes that will be def inite improvements in modern living. He said the day is not too far off when atomic radiation will help retard fool spoilage and improve the farm products Mrs. America uses. Also, the application of atomic radiation to plastics, chemicals and other industrial processes, will make our homes safer and easier to live in, through new germ-proof con tainers, dirt-resistant fabrics, and maybe even new, more beautiful miracle fabrics. Kitts also sees the application of atomic energy in the field of medicine as bringing comfort to a woman concerned with the well-being of her family through new treatments and cures for dread as well as lesser diseases. Princess Margaret Back With Sister Windsor, England HP Prin cess Margaret appeared to be definitely back on the royal team Saturday. Rumors of a rift between Mar garet and her sister, Queen El izabeth, were all but dissipated Friday night at the annual roy al household ball at Windsor Castle. Elizabeth and Margaret sat to gether, laughed, cheered and ex changed jokes throughout the evening. Before the party, Mar garet had dinner with the queen. Margaret had made headlines recently for apparently skipping traditional family get-togethers. She failed to attend the Buck ingham Palace dance for the help last week for the first time in 10 years, reviving - the rumors of a rift. But if Friday night was any indication, sources said, Eliza beth and Margaret are either '"brilliant actresses" or have healed any split if there ever was one. as a doorman. "But I like being Santa," said Matison. "It keeps me from getting lonesome. This time of the year, everybody's smiling and cheerful ... I often think it's a shame the Christmas spirit doesn't last longer." Matison has no family other than a brother, 72, at Sailor's Snug Harbor, on Staten Island. The two will spend Christmas day together. Asks Only Good Health "What do I ask for Christ mas? Only for good health," said he. "We Santas find some skep tics, mostly among the older children," said Matison. "And there are a lot of greedy ones. I remember one little boy who summed up his wishes in one brief comment 'Everything in Macy's window.' Another one reeled off a list which would fill a warehouse. "I told him, 'Well you can't get all that . . . but maybe some. I'll have to take it up with the big Santa at the North Pole." "The grateful father standing nearby tossed a couple of bucks into the chimney," said Mati son. Then there are the shy chil dren; these Matison says are instructed to write him a letter. One small girl needed no such advice; she came with letter al ready written, and offered it after much prodding by papa. Said Matison, "It read 'My mommy wants a new coat, I want a doll, and daddy says he wants a redhead."
