Administration's
Tight Money
Policy Attacked
WASHINGTON, UP)—Sen. John
^sparkpian (D-Ala) said Thursday
the Eisenhower administration
has been too slow in moving to
counter the current economic
slump.
. Sparkman announced the Sen
ate Housing subcommittee whioh
he heads will start hearings soon
to ^inquire, among other things,
why the White House “waited so
long” to release 177 million dol
lars which Congress had voted for
military housing, urban renewal
and cooperative program^.
The White House announced
Monday it was releasing this
money in a move interpreted as
intended to help the economy in
general and the slum pin g^housing
industry in particular.
Housing construction this year
has dropped to 926,000 starts. The
goal for the year had been one
million starts.
“The biggest boost the admin
istration could give the housing
industry and the economy now,”
(Sparkman said, “would be to
loosen its tight money policy.”
He said if the maximum in
terest rate on FHA-insured mort
gages was lowered to 4 Yz per
cent, it would provide “tremen
dous impetus” for home construc
tion. The maximum rate now is
5 Y\ per cent.

Christmas Observed in Various Ways
By Christians Around the World
(By The Associated Press)
Most of the world’s Christians
returned Thursday to their daily
routines, refreshed by the double
joys of Christmas religious ob
servances and holiday festivities.
Some people were still enjoy
ing festivities. The day after
Christmas is a holiday in Britain
and in a few other nations—
including non-Christian Japan—
Christmas holidays merge into
New Year’s celebrations for many.
For Americans the holiday us
ually meant the traditional family
day at home. But U.S. troops still
stood guard at lonely outposts and
in some places new refugees were
added to the world’s homeless.
Seven hundred Dutch refugees
from Indonesia spent Christmas
Day in transit camps at Singapore
while waiting passage to The
Search Given Up
For Survivors of
Navy Plane Crash
HONOLULU, UR — The Navy
gave up its search Wednesday for
more survivors of the “Flying
Radar Station” airplane that
crashed into the Pacific Monday
25 miles north of Oahu Island.
The search was abandoned at
sunset after Navy, Air Force and
Coast Guard surface vessels and
planes combed the area for two
nights and two days.
Officers said there was no hope
of finding any others beyond the
three officers and one enlisted
man plucked from rough seas in
darkness early Tuesday.
The four - engine WV2 Navy
radar plane, a radar - packed
Super Constellation used for early
warning picket duty, crashed at
sea while on a training flight.
Survivors said most of the crew
were trapped in the IVz million
dollar craft.
One of the survivors, Cmdr.
Guy Howard, 41, of Oakland,
Calif., explained , “I really don’t
know yet what happened . . . she
just stopped flying at 1,500 feet.
All four engine stopped at one
time.”
Netherlands—the home many of
them have never seen.
South Pole Christmas
At the International Geophysi
cal Year station at the South Pole,
U.S. Navy men and scientists
opened their presents around a
synthetic Christmas tree—their
puppy ate the real evergreen that
had been flown in from New Zea
land.
The temperature at the antarc
tic station in Little America rose
almost to zero, while further
north in Australia a 100-degree
heatwave helped pack the beach
es. Only scattered patches in the
Northern Hemisphere had a white
Christmas.
Peace in the Holy Land
In the Holy Land about 5,000
pilgrims visited Bethlehem for a
re-enactment of the story of Jesus’
birth. This was perhaps 10 times
the number that crossed the fron
tiers last year when the Suez War
was still a fresh memory.
A few miles away in Gaza, the j
U.N. emergency force marked the 1
day in ways that typified the var- i
ied celebrations of the world’s ■
billion-plus Christians. i
Hindu soldiers from India took
on extra patrol duties so their j
Christian comrades could feast on i
their native dishes and sing carols
in many tongues.
U.S. Troops in Korea
In Korea, Francis Cardinal
Spellman celebrated mass twice j
with Americin troops serving in I
an older U.N. Army. Seventeen I
thousand troops also cheered per
formances by Bob Houe and
Jayne Mansfield.
President Eisenhower spent the
day with his family at the White j
House while millions of Ameri j
cans criss-crossed the nation to!
visit their loved ones.
Pope Pius XII blessed a cheer- !
ing crowd of 50,000 in St. Peter’s
Square who brought him to his
window with shouts of “Viva il
Papa-”
