Mr. Wilson says that the planning is based upon Army and Navy re quirements which in turn are based upon the military experts' belief that there is plenty of fight left in the Germans and Japanese and that a long, 'hard war is ahead.

O'DanieJ Again Long Terms Would Limit Office Tenure Two Sides to the Question Senator W. Lee O'Daniel of Texas thinks that frequent changes in the personnel of office-holders would be to the advantage of the great ma jority of the nation's citizens. Senator O'Daniel would like to have a new president every six years and suggests that it would be "most wholesome" if every Senator and every Representative, after serving six years, would go back home and o to w;).k and try to make a living under the laws which they have passed. The Texas Senator apparently ad vocates the six-year limitation in or der to prevent the building up of "a! ruling dynasty" in Washington, made up of semi-permanent executives and a legislative branch subservient to the patronage power. The O'Daniel idea is not new, al though his remarks carry interesting implications at the present time. iheie has always existed a strnnn- $1,500,000,000 exclusive of ordnance.

The Stars and Stripes are sym bolic of the true meaning of an American Christmas. It repre sents a freedom of doing the things we want to do of being happy, with loved ones and friends. Although the Yuletide is celebrated throughout the world there is no place where people mre more privileged to enjoy this festive occasion as happily as those within the boundaries of this nation. This is our heritage to par ticipate in the freedom made possible by our courageous forefathers who founded this nation on the basis of Liberty and Justice. It is our moral obligation to carry on the tra ditions of Christmas as a defi nite part of the American way of life. This is what we mean when we say we wish you a merry American Christmas.
