Christmas gives scars as well a pleasure. I was one of five children and cannot remember that as a child at Christmastime I ever gave a present to make my mother happy. Big scar to me. None to mother. When I was young, there was no real poverty. The tree was strung with cranberries and popcorn, the gilt of love was an orange how strange an orange was then and a few nuts from Brazil to make the day strange and merry. There was also a glit for us all, something like a sled we could all use and fight-over. But it was all for us. At my age I still can t recall when the Idea first came to us that we should also give a present to our father and mother that this was also jiart of Christmas. We were used to taking things... and there were many of us. ..and our parents were so used to giving and expecting nothing, .so that wc rather grew up and never knew quite what we owed. ..and perhaps our debt grew beyond our realiza tion. One of the torments of a grown SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W-7A home-stretch spurt can make December the best month of this year in Industry and trade. Merchants have high hopes Christmas retail trade will top last year's. And Industrial output, in spite ot a slowdown for the holiday, may hit its best pace of the year. Although It started out lamely, 1954 can still make a good show ing. First reports from the stores tell of good Christmas traffic. The magazine Bales Management pre dicts December retail sales will total 116.900.000,000, 3 per cent above the year-ago dollar volume. Merchants are wooing custom ers with advertising and price pi-emotions. Finding prices either stable or a trifle lower, customers are believed to be in the mood this year to buy. Last year many were waiting for big price breaks, which never came. Forecasts of an Industrial actlv ity spurt this month are based largely on the early start auto makers got with new models. The Industry plans to turn out more cars this December than in any other month this year. A further rise in steel pro3I tion and in a number ot other In dustries is also looked for. As a result, the Guaranty Trust Co. ot New York notes, "fur the first lime since early 1953 general busi ness appears to be rising at a more-than-scasonal rate." It sees "a strong possibility of a further gain in December." Purchasing agents report that in many industries new orders are now coming in faster than pro duction Is rising. The steel operating rate has risen above 80 per cent of capa- For Mortgage Plans It'i the EQUITABLE And JOHN HOUSTON time accompanied by Earl Ucher er. Both of them were telling us that they now not only have the air. but they have a real fine dumping ground. Worst of It came' when Earl was telling about getting the county court to put cinders on the road and really fix it up. The court went along, as they should have ol course, and put on the cinders and made everything all fine. Then Earl grabs his partner, O, K. Puckett, and hauls him out to show him the road. And right in the middle of the freshly worked road is a big pile ol garoage ana trash that someone had dumped. Some people Just don't have good judgment. This oni" worked out all right, however. The two of 'em got out and scrounged around until they found a half a dozen letters and envelopes all addressed to the same man. They then looked mm up and had a chat with him with the results that the road was cleaned up in short order. It has always baffled me why people will drive all. that distance lo unload Junk when they can make It to the municipal dump here in much less time Or out our way. There is a good deal of casual dumping alongside the road there every night or so.

As I said before, I approach the Christmas senson reluctantly. It isn't that I don't enjoy glad times, because I do. But where my father sowed the seeds of charity In his time with complete good will, I feel that new in trying to do the same thing I am but his echo, and never himself indeed, Some of the other four boys In the family say I dream my father too high, now that he Is gone, but my sister, Dolores, who has two children of her own, says: "There'll never be another man like Dad." Nor will there ever be. He still is the king of our Christmas tree. Bitterly the faro ily regrets he isn't there to ignite the holiday Just by the warm light of his presence.

The American Iron at Steel Institute reports, and output -is higher than at any time since early December 1953. The U.S. Bureau of Mines fore casts an increase this month in the amount of crude oil that will be consumed here or exported. The bureau thinks the total will aver age out at 6' million barrels a day. The Federal Reserve Board looks for the December spurt to lift the year's total dollar volume of goods and services to 356 billion dollars. This would be only 2V2 per cent under 1953's gross na tional product, a record 365 billion.

For a man two years in. tne White House, he has been almost amazingly free of personal attacks or abuse, for one thing politicians who might like to take a crack at him may have felt it too risky to tackle a national hero. But Eisenhower himself, al though a novice in politics, has followed the one course best cal culated to bring him a minimum of abuse: by making no personal attacks. Perhaps the best example of this is his handling of Sen. McCarthy- he has treated Sen. Knowland ol California very carefully too who has repeatedly stepped on the toes of the administration. Yet, before his term is up Eisen hower may think it necessary to take a far tougher position on mat ters affecting his administration. More than his own personal popu larly is at stake these next two years. . In 1956 the voters will decide not only whether the Republicans should stay in office but perhaps even the future of the Republican party itself. The Republicans as a whole cannot claim equal popularity with Elsenhower. There are two ex amples of that: He ran far in front of '.he party in 1952; and the Re publicans lost control of Congress to the Democrats In last month's elections while Eisenhower's pop ularity rating was still regarded as high. The Republicans will not present an enticing spectacle to the voters If between now and 1956 they show themselves split on domestic and foreign affairs, with some of them in steady opposition to Elsenhower or at least to his administration. That Eisenhower can expect trouble from McCarthy seems foregone conclusion. Even it be is censured this week, the Wisconsin Republican says, he will continue nis search for Communists. His most likely searching ground is the administration, as it was these past two years. McCarthy has a following, inside and outside Congress and In the Republican party. It may not be majority lollowing but it could create bad spirits which might ruin the party's chances in 19S8. Knowland, the Republicans' Sen ate leader and therefore a source from which Eisenhower might or dinarily expect a minimum of dif ficulty. Has often differed with El senhower on foreign policy. He shows no signs of changing. v . Knowland too will have some support among Republicans, often perhaps from McCarthy's follow, ers. In the end, if the Republicans spend their time and energy in splits and wrangles, Elsenhower mav have to depend on the Demo cratswho are slated to be in a majority when the new Congress opens in 1955 at least to push through his foreign policy plans. Last year McCarthy called on Eisenhower to cut off aid to allies who traded with the Communists. Today in an interview he came back to the same theme again. He suggested the Chinese Com-1 otionolly Advertised at - 149.50. Carlson's Foctory-to-you price MARLOW munlsts would be forced to give up the 13 Americans imprisoned as spies if the Allies would stop trading with them. This country, he said, should force the Allies to stop trading by shutting off Ameri can aid to them if they didn't. Knowland wants Eisenhower to blockade the China coast to force release of the prisoners. McCarthy lined up with Knowland by saying UE u . M, UHHUC 1UIT U Ui own idea of stop-trade-stop-aid man i work. Even though Secretary of State Dulles publicly repudiated, Know land's blockade proposal as a war like act. and Eisennower backed up Dulles yesterday, Ksowlacd came right back by insisting oni blockade. He has taken a stand! contrary to the administration si agatn and again.
