From Luke II ," f A ND it came to pass In those days, that there r went out decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which Is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David.) ' To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child. . And so it was that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the. same country shep herds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over ; their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round bout them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people. "For unto you is born this day in the city Of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. "And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye. shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, wrapped in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God ' end saying, "Glory to God In the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." - And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us." And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And whenthey had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them con cerning the child. - And all they who heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered . them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. Today's Roundup BY MALCOLM EPLEY MERRY CHRISTMAS! We mean it. We're downright apprecia- tive of the folks who make up the big Herald and News reader family. - They make our job interesting. They "tell, us" When we're wrong, and they praise us if and. when we ring the bell. We're certain there's . no more responsive group of newspaper readers anywhere, and brother, that means a lot to the fellow sitting on this spot. There are something around 50,000 of these people, basing the estimate on four readers per paid subscription. That's a lot of folks in this compara- EPLEY tively sparsely settled area of the west. Their support makes this newspaper (and our job) possible. To each and all of them, the best of every thing this holiday season! Midget THOSE who read Deb Addison's column on this page Saturday knew it was coming this four-page midget. All through the rest of 1945 The Herald and News will be drastically reduced in size. The reason is that we're getting even on our use of newsprint. For a long time we've been on strict rations on a quarterly basis. This quar ter, we've been running ahead of ourselves. To come out on the black side by December 31,' the end of the quarter, we must either run a few normal size papers and then cease publi cation entirely, or produce a smaller daily pa per. We've decided on the latter course, elimin--ating publication entirely only on Christmas day. News content in the daily papers will be fairly close to normal. It is advertising that is taking the beating. Federal controls on use of paper will end on December 31. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean immediate availability of all the paper we can News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON AAsmmiTUN, Dec. Z4 The public re- YV ceived but a faint notion of the life-death machinations of the navy top command (not the young fellows) to defeat the unification of the armed forces. Finally Navy Secretary Forrestal secretly hied himself to certain invisible ad visers behind the White House and sought deal against the basic General George. (ATC) plan of aligning the bureaus into one depart meat, so as to increase navy power in the new setup. This was the last attempt in a grandiose cam' paign which navy's Admiral King started im mediately after the George report had been dis closed exclusively in detail in this column dated October 8 a report which King had sup pressed by bottling it in the joint chiefs of staff since last April when it was submitted, marked urgent. The navy is not fundamentally opposed to the theory of unification, in my opinion. It feels itself slipping. The battleship is not obsolete or even obsolescent. Its usage has merely been surpassed in importance by new weapons, recently the plane and now directed missiles including the atomic bomb. Its aircraft carriers are valuable for sea commerce purposes, but for really effective bombing, a land-based plane is needed. Ship aircraft cannot carry the neces sary heavy loads of today s big bombs. a Going Some Way fHE whole navy is going the same way. The frontier of America is now in Canada and the northern wastes, to which place a defense com mission recently has been dispatched, to study the air up to 40,000 feet through which directed missiles are likely to come from Europe to this country. Invasion by ships has become a minor threat now that it is feasible for thousands of planes to carry armies the shorter air route across the northlands. To observe this scientific fact is not an ex- Dression of prejudice against sea defenses, but merely an acceptance of the glaring truth that their importance is secondary (to keep sea lanes open for supplies, to watch the back door of our shoreline, etc.) To the navy this means diminishing appro priations, power, jobs and rank in the scheme of defense, and the admirals have sought to beat the facts of science by keeping their show separate. . In a single department, their im portance will face review by air and land men. So they pulled every inner political wire to keep the president from getting the George re port, the congress from acting upon it and the White House from endorsing it. Faced now with defeat they want to make the unification in such a way as to protect themselves as much as possible. The courage of Mr. Truman in resisting this connivance was firm. He gave but an inch. This inch suggests the office of chief of staff rotate among the three separate departments of the armed forces, at two or three year inter vals, and that a coordination bureau work out the detailed organization underneath. These are the only concessions Mr. Forrestal appears to have won in his last-minute con triving. - . .... ,, ,( Political Power THE navy may be able to make this inch a mile and achieve a political power in the new department beyond the realities of its im portance, if congress follows Mr. Truman's recommendation in these two instances (and this is possible because the navy is powerful inside congress.) - Around this point, at any rate, now hinges the inside game. The navy no longer can hope to stop unification. Indeed, It cannot delay legislation beyond SO days more. The commander-in-chief has now spoken. But it plainly still hopes to keep its old game going somehow or another in the new, department. What the situation demands is a thorough shakedown of old blood and traditions in the new single department, and General Eisen hower is the man to do it. What is needed is not a compromise between the forces of air, army and navy, and rotating influence, but command by a man who knows the proper value of all three and how to keep each in its right place. Eisenhower as supreme allied commander is the only man who has used all three in North Africa, Italy and France (MacArthur's command was divided.) He . )s not bound by partisan obsessions, but proper ly encouraged, would wield judicious author ity, fair to all. Imagine a navy man who had never directed land-air operations functioning two or three years as chief of staff over all three branches! Such a course plainly would be unwise, if not dangerous to national defense to a Pearl Harbor extent. Thus, at the moment of a great victory for an efficient armed force, there is a grave under lying danger that the whole purport of the move will be lost as usual in politics, armed service politics, which will decree compromises, where leadership is called for.- This is a job Mr. Truman will have to meet, because congress can only furnish him the re quested tools.

City Council Will Meet Thursday Night Since the regular meeting of the city council would normally fall on Christmas eve tnis year, the members of the council have agreed to meet on Thursday nignt. Mayor Ed Ostendorf stated that a meeting will be held this evening, but because of the holi day season, he did not expect enougn memoers to be present to hold a meeting, therefore a provision for the Thursday meeting was arranged.

Still, England is smiling. For the war is over; tne bombs no longer take their wicked toll the long and fearsome nights in bombproof shelters are a thing of the past; the blackouts those cloaks .Of hidden dangers have been lifted.. 'And every days sees another lot of soldier lads come home home to stay. The Christmas spirit is every. where. London streets are full of folk who are buying as much as purses and slender ration coupons will permit, and are do- ing cheerful window shopping for the rest. Westside and East- side, rich and poor, are plan ning for tomorrow each accord ing to his means but both with the Yuletide spirit in their hearts. 1 Glorious Feeling Everywhere there are soldiers, still In battle-stained uniforms. whose faces shine with the glor ious feeling of being home again, Accompaning most of them there is a woman mother, wife. sweetheart and more than few of the homecomers proudly carry baby buntings who hang contentedly if precariously over broad shoulders which are more accustomed to the weight of a rifle. Small folk in legion are scurrying about the sidewalks like squirrels, and pressing eager noses against shop windows, or gazing with wonder at the un precedented array of pushcarts which are selling ' all sorts of cheap bauDies at nigtt prices, Toys Scarce Toys are very, very scarce and very, very expensive. Even a strip of bright-colored paper for decoration is a prize to warm childish hearts.
