Capitol Building
Flag Flies Awry
But All Is Well
Q
Pessimists about the Sooner ship of
state might have ocnsidered the state
capitol building was flying the right
flag Saturday morning—a distress
signal. e
Instead of chortling over it, how-
ever, w. L. Krueger, police dispatcher,
put in a frantic half hour getting the
building's flag flown rightside up.
At mid-morning W. H. Johnson and
E. L. Martin, scout car officers
cruising the capitol district, excitedly
Informed Krueger the flag was flying
upside down.
Krueger called office after office,
but the place was locked up tight as
a drum Finally he got an answer on a
lobby (building, that is) phone, and
the voice said It would tend to the
matter at once.

While Oklahoma county courts
continue to grind out divorces, the
Oklahoma City Family clinic,
founded about a year ago. slowly
but surely is going about its busi-
ness of trying to keep families to-
gether.
As a result of the efforts of the
doctors, lawyers, ministers and busi-
ness men who compose the clinic's
panels, at least 25 Oklahoma county
families Saturday were enjoying at
least one more Christmas together.
Founder of the clinic is Bliss
Kelly, city lawyer and former news-
paperman. He is chairman of the
clinic. Mrs; K. A. We hl. 2716 N
Robinson, is executive secretary.
"Our progress," said Kelly Satur-
day. "has been deliberately alow.
We've tried to talk things out with
the unhappy people who have come
to us for counsel in an effort to
mend their troubles and continue
to maintain their homes in a moral.

but thus far it has proved very

falls of snow.
The snow diminished Saturday but
there were heavy falls covering areas
of the Dakotas. Nebraska, northern
Missouri, central and southern Illinois
and Kentucky. South of the belt of
heavy snow, freezing rain brought
glazed conditions in parts of Missouri,
southern Ulir.ois and western Ken-
tucky.
The mercury dropped to 26 below
zero in Pembina. N. D.. early Satur-
day. Sub-zero marks chilled the Da-
kotas. and sections of Minnesota.
Michigan and Wisconsin. Colder
weather was forecast for some of the
north central areas Saturday night.
The mercury wasn't expected to climb
above 5 to 10 below in extreme north-
ern Minnesota.
Temperatures were around freezing
over most of the middle Atlantic
states and rain in the Carolinas was
moving northward. The mercury was
below normal along the Pacific coast.
Mild t emperatures continued In
Florida and the far southwest. Miami's

tion's weather map.

Christ Pageant
Dreams Linger
In City Hospital
By BETH PRIM
A grekt, white stone statue
of Christ on the highest moun-
tain of the Wichitas for the
world to aee—that’s what a
little Congregational minister
critically ill in St. Anthony
hospital longs to get for
Christmas ... some Christmas.
Really, he would like it on Easter,
next Easter.
If it could be so high and so ma-
jestic passersby could see it for
mountains around, then it would
draw them to the hills near Lawton
known to millions as “The Holy City
of Oklahoma.”
That, in turn, would draw them
closer to the central figure which
inspired The Holy City, his outdoor
pageant which has spread in fame
throughout the nation, and even be-
yond its borders.
No Visitors Allowed
But this Christmas he sleeps in a
hospital bed Inside a door marked,
“No visitors."
The little Congregational minister
. is Rev. Anthony Mark Wallock, the
humble dreamer - preacher who
dreamed and worked so mightily
that the simple Easter pageant he
began in 1926 in the Wichita moun-
tains has become a city worth about
8300,000. But he doesn’t measure by
money. If he could measure, he
would measure the goodness and
happiness which hundreds of thous-
ands have received from it.
Since that can't be, though, ho
isn’t concerned. Always, his thoughts
and dreams keep rushing ahead so
fast that he can’t keep up with
them.

He grew to manhood, was held

Air raid sirens sounded In northern
Palestine as the bells of Nazareth's
famed Church of the Annunciation
rang out for the annual Christmas
midnight mass service. Three children
were killed and five injured by bombs
at Nazareth. (Details on Page 7.)
Israeli officers sat with Arab no-

. Guard Meets Christians
Christians of many nationalities—
making their annual pilgrimage to
Bethlehem—were met by an honor
guard of Arab legionnaires who es-
corted them to the manger in the
Church of the Nativity.
Only the holders of special military
passes were permitted to use the Arab
military highway from Jerusalem to
Bethlehem. The ancient way by which
Joseph and Mary traveled has been
closed by war for nearly a year.
In the square outside the church
three tanks stood watch over the
crowd of worshippers. Less than three
miles away, Arabs and Jews scowled
at each other across truce lines.
Christ’s Birth Revered
But despite the wsrlike rumble
Christians came to celebrate the
Savior’s birth. They came in a colorful
stream, in the dress of many lands.
The traditional procession wended its
way into the town from nearby Beit

their 12:43 a. m. child was the official Christmas baby.
Street, a United States deputy marshal, was somewhat
floored by news his daughter had been named the Times
Christmas Baby.
HE Streets are the parents of another daughter, Dana Nell,
born Dec. 13, 1947.
Young Miss Street, who, by the way, becomes an honorary
colonel, courtesy of Gov. Turner, will be the recipient of nu-
merous gifts donated by Times readers and the Oklahoma Pub-
lishing Co.
The list includes a complete layette given by the Okla-
homa Publishing Co., money, cap and coat set, shoes, dresses,
romper suits, blankets, and many other items.
One of the latest gifts came late Friday from Joe D. Morris,
president of the Home State Life Insurance Co. Morris said
he will give the Christmas baby any type of $1,000 policy, paid
up for one year, which he says, is worth about $22.
Nurses in the OB ward at Mercy hospital said the newest
addition to the Times Christmas baby family is “a pretty little
thing.” *
Yessir, a girl! Just what we were hoping for, too!
Pressure to Stay On
L. J. Hilbert, chief of police, said the
pressure will continue over the Christ-
mas-New Year holidays in what he
called a "save-a-life” campaign.
Christmas day was ushered in early
Saturday without an auto fatality to
mar the holiday, the state highway
patrol reported. The death toll to date
it 498 against 500 for 1947. December’s
record of 35 fatalities Is 10 below the
same month last year.
While police officers were on the
jump investigating a series of auto
crashes and minor mishaps here, only
one serious injury waa reported.
Man's Neck Broken
Glen Edward Hopemer, about 28.
700 SW 27. regained consciousness at
Capitol Hill General hospital Satur-
day. He suffered a broken neck, frac-
tured skull and other injuries when
the auto in which he was riding skid-
ded out of control Friday night near
SW 15 and the Santa Fe tracks, and
plunged down an embankment.
Attending physicians described his
condition as “fair.”
Boyd H. White, 57. 14 NE 3. was
treated for head wounds at the same
hospital early Saturday. Police said he
walked into the side of a vehicle driv-
en by Jimmy Albert, 33, 1210 N
Broadway, in the 1800 block South
Robinson and was knocked down.
38 Persons Arrested
Albert told officers he was driving
about 15 or 20 miles an hour and
did not see White until he struck the
side of the passenger car. His con-
dition was not believed serious. He
suffered shock.
A total of 38 persons were arrested
for drunkenness and drunk driving in

Santa 4 Years
Late, but Her
Faith Pays Off
This is one of those Christ-
mas stories that convinces you
there Is a Santa Claus.
Roae Lee Gomez, like hundreds of
other little girls in Oklahoma, scrib-
bled her letter to Santa Claus. The
letter was in the big stack of Santa
letters in room 228 at the postoffice.
O. J. Cook, who is in charge of
the claims section at the postoffice,
grabbed a bundle of the letters to
take home Christmas eve. He had
been trying to find a Santa for
the needy children.
Mrs. Cook started scanning the
letters from the little ones,
letter touched her:
“My name is Rosa Lee. I am 9
years old. My mother died when I
was 2 years old. You came to see me
when I was 5, but you have not
been back to see me. Gee. won’t
you please come to see me this
Christmas and bring me a doll and
I will be very happy. Please bring
my sister a twin sweater. She is 14.
Please don’t forget us. I will be
looking for you.”
As Mrs. Cook finished the letter,
she grabbed the telephone and call-
ed the Salvation Army. Brig. Gen.
Laity, state commander, said Maj.
Guy Hepler and Adj. Albert Brown-
ing would try to find the place im-
mediately.
They found a little two-room
house, and the girls were playing on
the floor when Hepler walked in
in his Santa uniform.
Hepler picked up Rosa Lee. She
was speechless at first, but finally
managed to thank Santa for the
dolls, sweater, fruits, candles and
nuts.

Most of Arrested
Indonesians Freed
By Holland Forces
BATAVIA, Java, Dec. 25—
(/P)—The Dutch army, ignor-
ing the security council’s
cease fire order, announced
capture of Kediri in a Christ-
mas. communique Saturday.
Dutch defiance of the order
was authoritatively hinted.
However, the Dutch released
certain of the political prisoners
they have held since Sunday.
The security council demanded
that President Soekarno and the
other Indonesian republican
leaders be freed.
On« Major City Free
The fall of Kediri leaves Repub-
licans with onlv one major city in
Java. This U Madloen, a rail center
75 miles east of Jogjakarta, the fallen
Republican capital. Kediri is 30 miles
southeast of Madioen.
The army reported gains also In
central and western Java and in Su-
matra In the push they call a police
action against terrorists.
The security council called for an
immediate end to the fighting.
“The feeling among high Dutch of-
ficiala locally is that we shall not
comply,’’ an authoritative Dutch
source said.
The informant stressed, however,
that the decision whether to halt the
week-old operations in Indonesian Re-
publican territory will be made by
the Netherlands government at The
Hague.
Datch Claim Red Threat
(There may be significance in the
fact Dutch censors in Batavia passed
these statements for world relay. The
Dutch cabinet called an emergency
Christmas day session at The Hague
to study the order, issued in Paris Fri-
day. What effect the Indonesians'
guerrilla warfare might have on the
situation remains to be seen. The
Dutch have shattered the Republic's
communication system. This means it
would take a while for word to get
around among the guerrillas to lay
offj
The Dutch source said local feeling
against compliance was based on a
fear of communism in the only area
of Java not yet occupied by the
Dutch, the section around Madioen.
He said Tan Malaka, veteran Indon-
esian Trotskyist leader, was trying to
organize resistance there against the
Dutch.
Natives Suppressed Revalt
The Madioen area, thia informant
said, was the heart of the September
revolt by communists against the Re-
publican government.
The Republican government broke
this revolt, killing, capturing or dis-
persing the rebels.
The UN good offices committee re-
ceived the council's resolution by cable
Saturday morning. The committee was
instructed to supervise compliance.
The order demanded an immediate
cease fire and release of President
Soekamo and other republican lead-
ers arrested by the Dutch.
The committee notified the chair-
man of the Dutch delegation here. T.
Elink Schuurman. and the republican
repreaentatlve. Dr. Supomo.
Await Dutch Action
A source close to the committee said
the whole effect of the cease fire reso-
lution depends on what future course
the council charts for future Dutch-
Indonesian relations. Belgian Ray-
mond Herremans summed up with the
remark: "What next?”
Most foreign sources contacted,
however, obviously felt that if the
Dutch issued a cease fire order it
would have littie effect on their pro-
gram since, by the time it went out,
the Dutch probably would have at-
tained control of all major cities in
___i as well as those in the chief
productive areas of Sumatra.
All but four of the 17 political
prisoners held by the Dutch at former
republican delegatoln headquarters in
Batavia were reported Saturday to
have been released Friday.

Living Christmas Tree Is Symbol of Early Oklahoma
Silhouetted against a winter sky, this original Oklahoma Christmas tree is as timeless as the
spirit of the season. Native of hill and plain alike, thousands of its farflung family that dotted
the state from boundary to boundary have fallen before the ax to become the green tower for
countless family gift exchanges. Now spruce from the north have largely replaced it tfn hearths
of the state. Today this living Christmas tree stands apart from its fellows in the background
near Selling, Dewey county.

Divorce Clinic Saves 25 Families

fact we've succeeded in keeping at
least 25 families from going through
divorce court. We have failed in
only one case.
"All these couples who came to
us for help found an attentive,
serious panel to hear about their
difficulties. They are parents of
children whom they love, and we
were eager to help them.”
It Is only proper that Kelly should
feel the clinic which he set up after
a lot of study, research and prepara-
tion. is a success. When he first
announced hia plans, he said it
would be a success “if we can only
keep one family from breaking up."
' The clinic has been meeting at
various times in Kelly's office in the
Terminal building, after arrange-
ments are made by Mrs. Wehl.
Mrs. Wehl arranges for a com-
plete panel to be present at each
hearing. All information is kept
secret.
Kelly pointed out the fact "several
of the mended families” have been
salvaged even after suits for divorce
have been filed. •
