A FAMILIAR RING?
Music at Christmas Time • . .
MUSIC has been an important part of Christmas
ail through the ages starting it is believed with
Sit. Francis of Assisi who is known as the father of
Christmas caroling.
Beta Sigma Phi is starting what might be another
Christmas tradition for Nameites, a Christmas sing
around the Community Christmas Tree tomorrow
night at seven o’clock in the evening. It is one thing
to sit at home and listen to the caroling on the radio
arid TV and quite another to get out and lift your own
voice in joyous praise.
The singing will be led by Rev. R. Amundson.
Bundle up and be part of this community-wide sing
and we are sure you will be surprised how much pleas
ure you will get from the experience whether you can
sing or not.
Many of the stares will be open tomorrow eve
ning so topping after the sing will be more leisurely
than in the day time.

Naturally Softened and Pure
ink Too Small — No Bucket Too Large
: India’s Use of Force
Leaves Impact on
World Relations
By J. It. Roberts
Associated Press News Analyst
India’s resort to force to en
force territorial demands against
Portugal now promises to be a
nine days’ wonder insofar as Goa
is concerned, but with a hang
over of long-range impact on
world relations.
It has long been a foregone con
clusion that Goa would go the
way of all possessions of the Eu
ropean colonial powers. The man
ner of the going is surprising, but
only to those who have believed
or hoped that Prime Minister
Nehru was sincere in his advo
cacy of world settlements through
peaceful negotiations.
The immediate fighting is about
over, both at the front and in the
United Nations. The United States
and Portugal have been beaten in
the Security Council, and there
is no point in carrying the case
to the overwhelmingly anti
colonialists of the General As
sembly membership. Recrimina
tions will continue to fly without
practical effect on the case in
point.
Some very practical effects can
be expected, however, on world
attitudes.
If there was any real allegiance
among the so-caiied neutralists to
the cause of peaceful solutions
and real neutrality, you might
have expected India to lose a part
of her voice in their affairs.
Instead, her voice has been
strengthened in a majority section
of U.N. opinion whidh reveals it
self as more opposed to the rem
nants of Western colonialism —
though not to the new type of
Communist colonialism — than to
use of force.
This seriously complicates the
United States effort to stand as
a moderating force 'between Eu
rope and the African-Asian group.
It serves notice on President
Sukarno of Indonesia that his mo
bilization against West New
Guinea — and the use of force
there if he desires — will have
the support of India and the whole
so-called neutralist bloc which
holds the balance of power in the
General Assembly, as well as of
the Soviet bloc.
In a nasty sort of way, India’s
action precipitates a new situa
tion with regard to Western at
titudes.
The United States and the West
have often been handicapped by
the feeling that they were re
quired to listen politely to the
psalm-singing of Nehru and the
neutralist cohorts.
Now those very cohorts have
buried the question of moral
principle in favor of opportunist
use of force. The West may feel
U cap pursue its course with
L greater freedom of self-interest,
which once again is proved to
be the rule by which most na
tions live.

MADE IT IN TIME . . .
NEW YORK UP) — Three Cali
fornians got out of a taxicab at
Pier 84 here Monday — and paid
a fare of $337.50. They had hired
it Sunday night in Indianapolis,
14 hours and 730 miles from the
Pier.
The trio — Lloyd Pepper and
Hazel Feron of Aptos and Anita
Demos of Santa Cruz—had book
ed passage for a 38-day Medi
terranean cruise. The commercial
airline bringing them here was
forced to land because of bad
weather, so they hired a cab.
“It was the only way we could ■
get here in time for the sailing,” j
said one of the three.
Light Plane Crashes Into
Crowd of People—21 Die
SEVILLA, Spain UPl — A light
plane crashed into a crowd at
Sevilla Tuesday, killing at least
21 people and injuring more than
100 others.
The crowd has gathered at the
entrance of the city for the arri
val of a motorcade carrying $250,
000 worth of clothing and food
for the victims of last month’s
floods in Sevilla.
The plane had been chartered
by a Madrid magazine to cover

apparently hit some telephone
lines, causing it to plunge into
the ground.
