Leiter to Virginia
By DEB ADDISON
EACH year, as children start to grow up. another
group asks the uestion. "Is there a Santa
CUueV They've been doing that for a kng tone.
At Christinas tone of 177 a little girl asked the
question of the New York Sun. Prenas P. Church
answered In an editorial. Since then the question
and the answer, under the title. "Is There a Santa
Claus? bare been reprinted many tones. A half
century later, m another "skeptical age," the letter
to Virginia still la apropos.

by the skepticism of a skeptical

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Be exists

World Today
By DEWITT MarKENZIa
THEY ten us that Methuselah lived Mt years,
during which he appears to have been exceed
ingly active. Then he passed to his reward.
Those were the good old days. Since then, with
the speeding up of life, a new limit be been set on
mankinds activities. Now wnen
folks reach three score and ten
they begin to think about easing
up on work and doing a spot of
tishin', or whatever pleases their
fancy.
Thus It Isnt strange that Soviet
Russia and the outside world
should he speculating on what
Marshal Stalin, having celebrated
his TOlh birthday amidst the adu
lation of his followers, has In
mind for the future. Will he keep
on as the generalissimo of com
munism, or win he ease off a bit? MACKENZIE
a
THATS a mighty vital question, for Stalin is the
mind of Red Russia. His nod Is law. If he
withdraws, who takes his place?
In order to answer that we must know what
qualities have made Stalin dictator. How does he
keep control of the host of powerful Red lieutenants,
any one of whom would givt his right arm for
Stalin's job?
Some years ago I asked an Informed communist
what kept Stalin tn command. He replied that It
was because Stalin's judgment always was right.
By "right" my Informant of course meant that
Stalin was correct In his decisions of what was best
to further Russian interests.
Probably there's a tot in that, for Stalin Is a
shrewd leader political and military. To this quality
must be added that he knows how to handle men.
and that he is ruthless in carrying out his Red
program. He is one of the powerful leaders of
history.
WELL, who of the communist heads Is capable
of stepping into Stallnw place and handling
the battle royal which win be fought for the dic
tatorship? A lot of beads are likely to fan before
that is Ironed out.
Western observers note that Stalin appears in
good health and may be able to continue as bead
for some years. However, looking a bit further they
figure that the way things stand the succession
likely win be among three men all members of the
powerful politburo. or policy making committee, and
an as tough as tripe.
This trio comprises Vice Premier V. M. Molotbr.
aged Ss: Lavrenti P. Baria. 50. head of the dread
secret police: Oeorgl M. Malenkor. 47. who Is virtual
ruler of the communist party's political ma-hire in
Russia. The three are nimed tn the present order of
their political strength.
MOLOTOV is. perhaps, best known .to the out
side world in his previous role of foreign
minister. In recent """'ht he has had a mysterious
assignment which Is supposed to be supervision of
the Red offensive to communise the Orient. Naturally
that links him in speculation with the Chinese
communist successes.
Molotov Is an "Old Bolshevist" who was a boy
revel against the csars with Stalin. His outstanding
characteristics are answering devotion to the party
and to Stalin, and self etfacement. He is a colorless
personality, but he commands respect tn an ranks
and thus far be has had the confidence of the
generalissimo.
NEXT in line is Russia's super-policeman. Baria.
His rise to power was based on his work as
head of the secret police. He directed several
hundred thousand secret agents, and administered
concentration camps and prisons reportedly contain
ing several million p-isoueia. His office tn the old
lublsnta prison has been the most feared place In
Russia.
Baria is ruthless in carrying out duties. Like
Stalin he Is a Georgian peasant, and he wrote the
Soviet's most widely known biography of 8taHn He
travels about tn an American-made bullet proof car,
heavily guarded by plain clothes men.
LAST and theoretically least although powerful
comes Malenkor. also a ruthless realist Be
early became a member of Stalin's personal secre
tariat and modeled himself after Stalin, even to
clothing and mannerisms. Be rose rapidly, and he
profited much by the great purge of old bolshevists
in the thirties.

CHRISTMAS scene that has be.
come a familiar and well loved
part of the Klamath Palls scene will
be duplicated again this year for
the enjoyment of all who wish to
visit the snot. It's the beautifully
done scene of the nativity, done
bv Mrs. c. D. O roves, up on Lake
view street 1434 Lakeview. to be
exact.
One figure has been added this
yiar. that of the shepherd, to bring
the tout lo five. Joseph. Mary, the
tiisel. the child and the shepherd.
All the figures except that of the
child are life masks of Mrs. Orovta'
family. The child was sculptured
be Mrs. O roves.
So. the scene is there and It Is
nrtalnly worth while dropping by
to see. Just another of the many
little things that add up to make the
Cliriatmaa season a bit happier, a
bit tnemer and a bit warmer.
THE usual bunch of duck hunting
enthusiasts gathered at one of
the many pre -Christmas parties last
night and aa usual got to talking
about the subject closest to their
hearts. Briefly here Is about what
came out of this one discussion: The
split season Is a dirty plot aimed at
robbing the basin hunters of their
just rights. If we could have the
season we wanted tht period from
the 1Mb of October througb Novem
ber would be best ithat was the
figure voted by the majority). Most
of the ducks have left the basin. I
suppose the same conversation was
duplicated at many gatherings
And along with all the rest there
came this Idea. There a ere several
land owners, farmers and ranchers
present, all of whom agreed that
they posted their land, but would
still be open to the suggestion of
hunting on same land If the hunters
ould show the same courtesy they
do in their own homes. In other
words, tf you go up to the house
not before daylight) and ask tf you
ran hunt the answer is usually yes.
In asking the hunter gives the
fanner a chance to tell him where
to hunt, where to look out for stock,
what areas lo avoid and often where
he can find the birds he's looking
tor.
That was encouraging news. If
we dont work out. all over the
state and nation, a better relation
ship between hunter and land owner
there will be no huntlna soon. It
only takes one bum out of a thou
sand hunters to give all shooters a
black eye Those of us who live here
in the basin are usually pretty good
about things like that, but we need
to carry the education to every man
who goes out hunting. Then we'll
get somewhere.
UORNINOS like this mske the
drivers feel like It would be a
wonderful thing if the hot grid idea
were carried from the Esplanade
bridge to the distant corners of the
r:ty. Slick pavements aren't any
fun to drive. Not to mention the
humiliation of being unable to budte
tven on level ground when you
start spinning your wheels on a
patch of Ice.
