Fourteen Germans were killed
and 37 injured Saturday when
two trains, one a special carrying
500 school children home for
Christmas, collided in predawn
darkness near Dortmund’s main
railway station.
None of the children were killed
but three were slightly injured.
Rescuers probed through the
wreckage of the regular train by
light of torches and searchlights
to recover bodies and lead sur
vivors to safety.
The children were enroute to
their homes from school on the
North Sea island of Sylt.
Rail officials said the other
train was jampacked. The special
rammed into it, ripping open one
of the cars.
Cause of the crash was not im
mediately determined.

Holy Cross Brother
Becomes U.S. Citizen
After 40-Year Wait
FAIRBANKS — After 40 years
of trials and tribulations, Brother
John Hess of Holy Cross became
a U.S. citizen last week.
Brother Hess of the Jesuit Or
der first came to the United
States in October of 1906 and
shortly entered the Society of
Jesus. He came to America from
Schweben, Hessen, Germany and
soon made application to become
a U.S. citizen.
Brother Hess, who is now 71
years old, came to Alaska in 1914
and went to Holy Cross in 1926,
where he has been stationed ever
since.
Brother Hess applied for citi
zenship and would have normal
ly received it in the early days
of Alaska when the courts used
to travel on the river boats but,
invariably, he was always away
at some other post when this
occurred.

"And there were in the same country shepherds keeping watch
over their flocks by night. . . the angel said unto them, fear not: for
behold I bring you good lodings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
Which is Christ the Lord." —Luke 2: 8, 10, 11.

Neutralism in
Cold War Opposed
By Administration
WASHINGTON, UP>—The Eisen
hower Administration apparently
is close to adopting a policy of
respectful opposition to neutral
ism in the cold war.
President Eisenhower himself
laid down the line in a section of
■the message he delivered Friday
night as he lighted Washington’s
Community Christmas Tree. Ra
dio and television carried his re
marks to the nation, and the Voice
of America repeated them in over
seas broadcasts.
His statement was a challeng
ing bid to individuals or nations
all over the world who believe
that it is possible and desirable to
support neither side in the strug
gle between the free world and
Communism.
‘‘The times are so critical and
the differences between these
world systems so vital,” the Pres
ident said, “that grave doubt is
cast on the validity of neutralists
argument.”
That sentence was inserted and
several others were edited to make
it fit after the speech text had
been released in advance of its
delivery.
Newsmen received the change
in the text just before the Presi
dent spoke. It was distributed
without comment. Eisenhower
named no countries himself, and
the White House declined to elab
orate.
I
While thus questioning the
basic beliefs of those who, like
India’s Prime Minister Nehru,
hold themselves aloof from the
Communist conflict, the President
laid down two other points of his
policy quite firmly:
1. The United States will con
tinue to demonstrate “respect for
the right of self-decision by these
neutrals.”
2. The United States will try to
build understanding and sym
pathy with them on the common
basis that neutralists and Ameri
cans alike “hate aggression and
condemn wars for conquest.”
Christmas Program
Unusually Interesting
Despite Santa’s Absence
Nome's traditional community
Christmas tree entertainment was
held Friday evening with an un
usually interesting program by
the grade school children under
the direction of Robert Heath.
The Christmas story was told
in many languages and cleverly
planned to have all the graues
participate. The play was written
by Robert Heath especially for
the occasion.
The school band, which has
been steadily growing in popular
ity since it started a year ago,
under the direction of Robert
Heath, played an important part
in the program and surprised
many in the audience with its
progress and development in this
short time.
For the first time Santa Claus
was not there to distribute Christ
mas stockings to the children. Dis
appointment was felt by many
who would have enjoyed this
traditional climax to the program.
Santa appeared Saturday after
noon to the small children up to
the fourth grade, for which more
than 500 Christmas stockings had
been prepared and were distrib
uted. About 20 good cheer bas
ke's are being prepared for dis
tribution to needy families.
