Athenians Prepare
For Joyous Yuletide
~
By LEON DRISKELL:
Heeding the twinkling lights
that have been hanging overhead
in the business section of Athens
for several weeks, Athenians
turned out en masse Friday and
Saturday to complete yuletide
shopping.
Only one shopping day now Te
mains before the arrival of jolly
St. Nick "and many belated shop-}
pers are expected to appear to
morrow “just ahead of Santa and
his sleigh.” J
Although many adults have only
begun their shopping, the local
younger set has been aware of the
proximity of Christmas for weeks
and has deluged Santa Claus with
letters and lists of desired pre
sents. With city schools closing on
Friday, many parties were held in
the classrooms for the purpose of
exchanging gifts and presenting
special seasonal programs.
The churches and Sunday
schools have -also been holding
their share of parties, bearing
gifts to Church in keeping with
the Magi’s gifts to the Christ Child
of Bethlehem.
According to Post Office offi
cials, Athenians have sent more
packages and greeting cards
throught the mails this holiday
season than have been mailed
here at Christmas time for a
number of years. The Post Office
has hired thirty additional helpers
in order to rush up delivery and
other services.
Churches of Athens have al
ready begun pageants and other
programs for the birthday of the
Prince of Peace. Numbers of such
activities have been planned and

WASHINGTOCN, Dec. 22—(AP)
The labor - management dispute
which threatens a nationwide steel
strike on New Year’s Day marked
time today, awaiting action by
President Truman.
Irving Perlmeter, a White House
press secretary, told reporters
there was nothing in sight at the
moment but that he “couldn’t
guarantee” there would not be an
announcement shortly.
The general expectation was
that Mr. Truman would refer the
case to the Wage Stabilization
Board, but invocation of the Taft-
Hartley Act or even Government
seizure of the mills was not ruled
out.
Mr. Truman was handed the
case yesterday, after federal me
diators found both labor and man
agement unyielding and decided
that conciliation efforts were get
ting nowhere.
The CIO Steelworkers’ contract
expires in most mills on Decem
ber 81 and their president, Philip
Murray, has said they will not
work without a contract.
The union is asking wage in
creases estimated to average 18%
cents an hour above present aver
ages of about $1.97. g‘hey are also
asking other new benefits includ
ing a guaranteed annual wage.
President Benjamin F. Fairless
of the United States Steel Corpo
ration disclosed last night the
companies had sald in negotia
tions that they would not ask the
Government for higher steel price
ceilings if the union would aban
don their wage increase demands.
Fairless said there must be a
stop to what he called the auto
matic jumps in the cost of living
following general wage increases.
The steelworkers maintained
that the industry is making a lot
of money and could well afford to

BY G. A. McARTHUR
MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday,
Dec. 23.— (AP)—The Allies
dramatically invited the
Communists Saturday to
come south and see for
themselves that some 87,500
disputed prisoners are actu
ally South Korean citizens
and not genuine Red Army
men,
By.this offer they sought
to quiet some of the Red
haggling which has stalled
armistice talks, and possibly
also to hasten an exchange
of sick and wounded prison
ers.
The Christmas-time gesture of
United Nations good faith asked
the Reds to come and inspect pris
oners installations near Pusan and
promised that any of the disputed
personnel who wanted to return to
the Red side could do so at the
proper time.
The Communist negotiators gave
no reply but might do so at the
next subcommittee meeting sche
duled at Panmunjom at 11 a. m.,
today (9 p. m., Saturday, EST).
The request for an immediate
exchange of sick and wounded
prisoners of both sides, and the
invitation, were made by Rear
Adm. R. E. Libby, head of the U.
N. sub-delegation discussing ex
change of prisoners, item four on
the conference agenda.
‘ Reds Protest
The Reds had protested removal
of 37,500 POWs from the U. N.
prisoner list after the Allies found
they were loyal South Koreans.
Libby commented:
“They are not now and never
have been adherents to your
(Communist) cause.”
At the same truce session, Libby
pressed twice for a lfeedy reply
to the U. N. request for informa
tion on 13000 U. N. soldiers the
Allies think are Red captives but
were not included on the prisoner
list. 2
The Reds have promised an
answer to this, and to the U. N.
charge that the number of South
Korean soldiers on the list was
