VV Tresldcnt Elsenhower by the public during his three-coin tmorit goodwill tour have served to emphasize as nothing else has In recent years the huge reservoir of friendship the United Slates has In foreign lands. Millions of Europeans and Asians cheered, sang and danced TODAY'S BIBLE THOUGHT And hi' sIil.I1 judge among the nulioiis, anil shall rebuke many people: and they sliull beal their swords into plowshares, unci their spears into pruning honks: nations shall nut' lilt up sword against nution, neither shall they learn war any more.

His wild wolf whistles started trouble at a traffic light In Jacksonville and almost got Sullivan arrested in Richmond. One un -sympathetic policeman thought that the bird should be free und that Sullivan should be in the cage. However, Jim is accustom I ll.lH.fl INI, 5 In the streets as a smiling Ike passed among them.

It has been the warmest, most human demonstration In modern times. The extent of the demonstrations and their Significance surprised most seasoned diplomatic observers In Washington, both in the government and among the foreign diplomatic corps stationed here. Until the tour, there had been concern that U. S. popularity was on the decline, particularly In Asia and the Near East.

Diplomats usually are sophisticated and cynical people who talk to each other in polite but ambiguous phrases with hidden meanings and vaguely stated objectives. It is not sur The President ill be no more. Elvis With A Latin 'Beat' STUDYING LATIN hardly qualifies as a popular business in school days. All too many youngsters, having heard that learning can be fun, insist that learning should be fun. They want no part of a tough Latin course.

It's too bad. About 60 per cent of the words in the English language are derived from Latin, and a mastery of it opens a tig door to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, all of which arc based on it. Yet though it is being shunned by manv, it hangs on stubbornly in many places, some of them a little out of the way. For instance, in West Top-sham, VL, a village of 200, a national Latin magazine is published fcur times a year. It's called Auxilium Latinum.

Recently the editor printrl cf Llvis Presley's songs in Latin, since the magazine shoots for students 14 through 18. We have no report on how well this registered with the customers. But maybe it ought to be tried by others. Frankly, we'd like to see the whole rockum rollum repertory translated into Latin. It might give a let of our kids some well-ncccled schooling in the language.

And it would spare the rest of us hearing" the English. prising that this class should find Itself far removed from the directness and warmth of common people. Nevertheless, these selfsame diplomats are now finding great siRnificance In the demonstrations. Some hold that Ike is winning friends for democracy lnymultl-mllllon wholesale lots. Others nee in the demonstrations aNtnaor setback, for International Communism.

Perhaps the one basic fact that has emerged Is that democracy has had its uncounted friends among all nations of the world for all of the troubled "cold war" period. It was Just that nothing ever happened to bring it to the surface before. SUMMIT DATE How do the State department and the arious Western foreign offices go about picking a date for the ast-West summit meeting? It became known recently that le date of April 25 would be proposed to the Russians. One would think that such an important date would be the bject of complicated proposals, rejections and alternate pro-sais. However, it was actually worked out this way: Representatives of the United States, Britain and France ted in parallel columns the engagements of their heads of ate.

Chancellor Adenauer's dates were also listed because, hile he will not attend, it Is recognized he has a deep Interest i the discussions. When the engagements were all listed, It was found that the week of April 25, or possibly the following week, would be the most convenient time. That ia the proposal that went forth tc Moscow. MINOR MKMOS President Eisenhower carries no passport By GEORGE How would you reply lo Karhy? These are crucial moments in the lleves of young-, iters, to learn how to fcsndle such questions properly. And don't think Christmas is Just a December Mardl Gras or secular circus.

It really means Christ-Mats, so keep Christ In Christmas and see that your Jreetinj, cards do likewise! CASE D-429: Kathy aged 5, offers a widespread "Billy says there isn't any Santa Claus" she solemnly announced early last December and her eyes were beginning to show tears. "But I told him there REALLY AND TRULY IS a Santa Claus, for Mommie told me so. "There is Santa Claus, isn't there?" FACTS ABOUT SANTA Yes, there certainly Is a Santa Claus! Some religious parents are be -ginning to feel that maybe It is unwise to let children sit on the lap of the Santa Claus in the usual department store. "Dr. Crane, doesn't that cheapen the idea of Christmas?" they ask me.

"And isn't it deceitful to let a child believe in such a weird tale as a Santa Claus wi'h reindeer, wholives at the Norlh Pole?" Well, it is true that Christmas is being overly commercialized. In fact, much of the religious sentiment has been squeezed out entirely, as witness your own greeting cards. Christmas is rooted in the most i Tamous religious event on this earth. The very ord means "Christ Mass." I Yet many modern Christmas I cards, though often beautiful, fail lo show the Bethlehem scene, or the Three Wise Men, or lhe Star or any symbol" even remotely depicting the religious origin. Instead they depict a poinsettia or a pretty rural snow scene or we often reproduce the phto -graphs of our children, but ignore Christ on our Christmas cards.

So don't unduly criticize the merchants if you yourself select Chris mas cards that omit all reference to Christ and his Nativity. REPLY TO KATHY In my reply to Kathy, more -over, I told her that the very first Santa Claus was God. And the first gift to mankind was Jesus. The story about Santa at the North Pole is just a colorful narrative to represent the universali ty of God's, love for all children, regardless of color and creed. Then 1 informed her that she, too, could be an assistant Santa, for everybody who unselfishly tries to do something nice for others, is a "proxy" Santa Claus.

We are really Santa's helpers as we dress up in red costumes and fit into the Decern-1 ber holiday spirit. Jesus taught about the Holy Trinity, which includes God, audi Christ and the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghosi is the effective functional spirit of Gixl in univer sal action, so every child or adult who offers gifts to others, is real- In tim uifh Atmii.M flrvl unH I an assistant Santa.

Capitol Hill jokestcr now refer to putting relatives of senators and congressmen on government Jobs as "payrola." It has been stated that Sulll -van's saloon is for the birds, This is not true, even though his mynah birds whistle at the lady customers and make unkind remarks the men. Someone once said hat the birds, quite often, speak more distinctly than the custo -mers.

This is true only in the late hours. Jir Sullivan is a gray haired man who looks like W.C. Fields if Fields had been hit on the head by a hammer. He owns a place in Sea Bright, N.J. complete with a long oval bar, a hi-fi set, some whiskey, a pool table and two birds named Willy and Silky.

The owner is the youngest of eight children born to a mill hand in Holyoke, Mass. He grew up suspicious. Once he sold 10,000 newspapers on the premise that the paper would give him a violin free. He fiddle and studied assiduously. One night he was playing a symphonic version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" when his father looked up from his evening reading and said: "Bury that thiirj; in the back -yard." Jim buried it.

He never com -pletely tiustcd anyone since. In the war, for example, he was a cook on Coast Guard L.S.T.'s and he wouldn't bet on the winner of the war until after the atom bot ib was, dropped. After the war, James the List was in Florida on a toot with a lady who liked birds when the woman said she had a mynah bird named Willy, and would Mr. Sullivan like him for aliout S.V). Jim no.

that he lived in a trailer and, with all the rockiiu, a bird would flip his feathers. I Still, he took a look. He said: "Hello, Willy, whal's good at Ili-aleah?" Willy, who looks like lhe inside of a coal mine at midnight, cocked an eye at Sullivan and chirped: "One Sullivan said that the bird was a phony tout and didn't even know the morn ing lii.e. He went to the track with the bird lady and, in the fif.h race, was en entry.

Yet HO percent of couples over in Indiana 'have less than $1,000 a year in come. Despite all the bailyhoo about our land of plenty, old folks in Indiana fare pretty desperately. -In one of our counties, several different members of the County Farm, for some reason, write letters to the Hxisicr Day column.

Loneliness gnaws at the hearts of these aed, who have lived useful lives. They complain they have no one to talk to. One lady can see thousands of automobiles passing. Yet. the thirty she would like most, is to get into an automobile and take a ride.

No one thinks about leting her lhat. We are all too busy with our own We are all to busy with our own affairs to visit hospitals, poor farms, 'to read to the aged who can't see, or to take a closeup look inside our penal inslitutions. What we need is more mis -sionaries at home in the U.S.A.

Murphy replied, "He looks like a bright bo" we'll recruit him for the foreign service." ed lo sarcasm. He has two posts, one behind the other, insid his bar.

He put Willy in a cage on the front post-In no time at all, matters became lively in Sullivan's. Customers shuffled in wilh hangovers in four natural colors and were greeted with: "Hello, my name is Willy. What's yours?" When the unwary customer answered, Willy, who has a feminine lilt to his voice, would say: "Oh, are you a talking bird?" Tfie varflies became more and more confused. Sullivan was so pleased that he bought a second mynah bitd from an elderly couple. This one is called Silky Sullivan and he now roosts on the rear post.

They can hear each other, but can't see each other. Silky chirps: "Where's Grace?" and Willy thinks it's a customer. Silky says gaily: "Sweetheart?" and Willy mumbles: "I'm so tired." Silky says: "Pitty pitty pit-ly mummy" and Willy, in deep baritone, mumbles: "Must you go now?" Some of the regulars at Sullivan's order triples on the rocks and, when Jim makes a lucky shot on the pool table. Silky warbles: "Just the way I played it." Some of the women, mellowed by Sullivan's suniiy scowl, talk to the birds. They say: "What's your and, "orally, the birds fall over each other saying: "My name is Willy" "My name is Silky Sullivan.

Where's Grace?" The proprietor, who's never been know to miss a shot at a buck. has recently achieved his life ambition, lie has trained Willy to whistle "How Dry I fyn" while Silkv mumbles: 'Let's have one for the road."

Keep Failh, Honey? By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN THE H00S9EI1 DAY By FRANK A. WHITE true essence of Christmas. So train your tols to ask Santa to bring gifts to OTHER YOUNG STERS, too. At the age of 5 or 6, you cannot expect a child to be wholly self less, but strive to get him to adopt a 50 50 outlook, where he divides his own requests with an equal amount for others. Christmas is NOT a December Mardl Gras or tinsel and holly circus, so analyze your greeting cards accordingly, Restore Christ to Christmas.

Keep it a Christ Mass.
