Defense Department representatives, it was learned, were to testify to that fact at a House Banking Committee hearing Dec. 12 on a Mil aimed at halting illegal use of secret foreign bank accounts by y.S. citizens. * * ★ ★ The hearing was postponed until next year, but committee members received an advance copy of formal department testimony before the postponement. The testimony said the Defense Department was in “complete accord” with the bank-account bill. A Defense spokesman cited an example of Soviet intelligence officials depositing $25,000 in a secret Swiss account for a U.S. Army sergeant , who supplied them with classified information. The sergeant is serving a prison term for espionage, the testimony said. COOPERATION PROMISED The Defense Department said Pentagon officials would cooperate fully with the Treasury Department in enforcing the bank-accoupt bill after enactment. They may never get the chance. As the Defense Department testimony was being drafted, the Nixon administration, led by the Treasury Department, was backing down from support for the bill. It was under pressure from domestic and foreign banking leaders who objected to stringent record-keeping practices in the measure. The House Banking Committee, chaired by Rep. Wright Patman, D-Tex., held a day of hearings on secret foreign bank accounts late last year. It was disclosed that the accounts are used to cloak hundreds of millions of dollars in tax invasions and frauds every year. LEGISLATION DRAFTED Patman’s committee began drafting legislation — with the help of the Nixon administration — to curb the practice. Their bill called for tighter record keeping on domestic bankraccount transactions, identities of persons dealing with those accounts, and reports by persons transporting U.S. currency abroad and those doing business with foreign financial institutions. Patman began hearings Dec. 4. Two witnesses were Will Wilson, assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division, and Robert M. Morgenthau, U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York, who broke several foreign bank-account fraud cases. Both testified in favor of the bill, with Wilson stating, “That is correct,” when asked if the Justice Department wanted enactment of the bill. * * *■ At the same time the State Department was receiving protests from foreign banks and domestic banks with foreign branches, and high-level Treasury Department officijals were meeting with representatives of banks in-the United States including the Bank of America, Chase Manhattan, First Na-, tional City and Chemical Bank New York Trust Co. Several days later they returned, with their attorneys, to argue, against the bill. chief justice of the United States, then handed the President a stiff rebuff by rejecting his nomination of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. for a secnnd opening on the Supreme Court. Nixon indicated he will send a new nomination to the Senate early in 1970. ■* ★ ■ ★ Not acted on were the President’s pro posals to deal with problems of crime, spreading drug use, reform of the welfare system, revenue-sharing with the states and cities, reorganization of the postal system, mass transit subsidies, new foreign trade policies, and many others. ,** it * ★ There undoubtedly will be political arguments in next year’s congressional elections and perhaps in {he 1972 national elections as to responsibility for the record of Jh® 1969 Congress. ‘Dffi WORK HARD’ —~ Democratic leaders insist that Congress did work hard and laid the groundwork for the second session of the 41st.' They charged also that Nixon took three mirths to revise former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s last budget, which delayed appropriations bills, and sent up some of his major recommendations so late there was no possible chance to consider them adequately in 1969. ■ V- ★ <. ★? ★ » By far the longest Senate debate of the year Came on authorizations for military spending. Defense Department critics lost the majbr effort to force a pause in development of the missile defense system. But they contended the protracted look at Pentagon programs did - lay the basis for future cutbacks on military outlays. MAJOR TREATY Early In the session the Senate overwhelmingly ratified a major ireaty — the nuclear nonproliferation pact. In the final analysis, Congress cut the President’s requests by more than $7 billion on the fiscal 1979 bills- , . " , . However, some of these funds will be spent-in future years. Congressional fiscal experts claimed only a $3 billion reduction in actual spending for the current year. It was a good year for Congress in one respect: the 100 Senators and 435 House members got an increase in pay from $30,000 to $42,500 a year.

The centuries have seen Christianity spread over the globe, bringing comfort and tranquility to billions of those suffering physical or mental ills who sought its sublime benediction and subscribed to its tenets. ★ ★ . ★ Cynics might argue that there is little real peace in the world today and that the quality of goodwill is a diminishing one. * ★ ' .★ The cynics would be wrong. Today the people of most every land ' are peace-hungry, and amity is slow-ly becoming a unifying force. This is in striking contrast to the savagery of the continuous wars of the early Christian era and the individual enmity that mocked a spirit of., unity. The mellowing of international and personal relations is sound support of.the thesis tlmt one 4ay humanity-will indeed find its way to universal peace and brotherhood. And to. question that goodwill is an ascendant attribute of man—regardless of race, creed or color—is to doubt the evidence of the senses. Ironically, where the two ideals prevail, they are so often taken for granted that it is only defection from them that is seen and decried. ★ ★ * Thus It is that Christmas, with its gaiety, its festivity, its thoughtfulness for others is merely the annual, and visible, manifestation of the precepts and faith that motivate the lives of the many the-year around. ★ ★ ★ But amid the joyous observance of Christmas, there should be found time for moments of introspection, a realization and an appreciation of our countless blessings; and a re-, dedication to the moral and spiritual values for which the Son of God gave His life. *-----* -—” Only then, can the felicity of "Merry Christmas” have sublime as well as material meaning.

Shattererof Myths Fires More Salvos WASHINGTON (NEA)-Out In Chicago there is a slightly built fellow named Dr. Anthony Downs, who likes to shatter' myths. Downs works for the Real Estate Research Corp. As senior vice presi-d e n t and treasurer, he BI0SSAT s e e m s t o spend a great deal of time questioning other people’s assumptions. * ★ * Once he spoke for a full' day to the Kerner commission on civil disorders. One member, Sen. Fred Harris of Oklahoma, calls' him "brilliant.” His latest outing was as.-a panelist on state and urban problems at the winter conference of the .Republican governors. . , < ALL WET ■ For openers, Downs told, these gentlemen that census forecasts of 100 million more Americans by the year 2000 (a kind of midpoint between the bureau’s high and low predictions) are all wet.. The real prospect, said Downs, is closer to 42 million more — lower even than the lowest official forecast of 62^ million. - * ★ ★ He founded this judgment on his assertion that U.S. fertility rates have dropped 30 per cent since a peak in 1957. His estimate of population-growth for 1969 is 1 per . cent, lowest gain rate since 1940. * * * Downs thinks he can also chop the ground out from John Gardner who is saying a high proportion of America’s added millions of people have got to be put in hundreds of altogether new cities. He just says It Is not going to happen. For support he looks to Great Britain, which has had 30. years’ experience- in building new cities under favoring laws. SMALL PERCENTAGE In 1968, says Downs, the British started only 2.5 per cent of new housing in new towns, while 97.5 per cent of the starts were in established places. it io it Here is one for HUD Secretary George Romney, the- ex- manufacturer -of automobiles who has been nobly trying to “industrialize” housing production methods in hope of getting faster, cheaper housing: ★ * * According to Downs, even if such methods succeed they will not significantly reduce housing costs. His word on this for the governors? ' ' "The two most importiffln costs in housing are land and' money, not construction costs. Land will keep rising in cost, and money — which has risen, fastest of all recently — will not go down much, if at all.” Downs ripped off one of the cons eT v a tives’ favorite security blankets when he blasted what he. calls the “self-help solution” myth applied to the poor and the black — the notion that all they need to do is get a job and help themselves. *■ . # . k. Nearly half of all poor Americans, he says, cannot earn their way out of poverty because they are either old, disabled, young children in households headed by women, or the women ’caring for such children. * * ||........ “They can get out of poverty only if we give them money — our money," said Downs. ' He also goes after that part of the “self-help” myth which leads many now middle-class Americans to say they made it the hard way, without government aid, and the poor should do the same. “TFlMTsglidas^^ that they not only did not make it on their own but are still getting subsidies in the form of aid to the colleges, highways, oil imports, farm products, etc. itill Christ- I continue smtxf to believe in Christmas, even here In ^ TOLEDANO this sad and confused Washington — and millions share that belief. However drab our lives have become, there is an effulgence to . Christmas that only the flintiest souls can ignore, an opening of the heart that only the most, inhibited can resist. ★ ★ Politics stops on Christmas ' Eve, and in the bright morning, as presents are opened, there is a renewal of that human—quality which—has brought survival. "Sing, little children, sing in your gladness,” the old carol bid — and it is a glad day. UNFORGETTABLE Whatever time may bring me, I will never forget those Christmas mornings when my two boys were young — or how they burst into the bedroom to wake their parents so that the ritual of giving and receiving could begin. In those days, there was not too much’money in the house, and What the boys gave their . mother and father was of 1 their. own making — all secretly con t rI v e d and carefully hidden until' the great morning. ' * ★ ★ ■' There was no “generation gap” on Christmas, for as love conquers all, Christmas love reaches out over that chasm which we are told separates parent and child in this disturbed era. This, I em sure, must sound mawkish or sentimental. But here again is one of the virtues' Of the Christmas season —- that men and women can forget their fears of showing emotion, of being glad, of speaking in terms that ai;e prescribed at other times of the year. SIGN OF WEAKNESS I have always held that it is a sign of weakness to hold that a show of emotion is weak — but this is a minority ' view. On Christmas; all who celebrate the day must share it with me. jig® ★ ★ For Chr 1 stmas commemorates more.,., than the Nativity. It is that moment when the dying year surrenders to the winter solstice and life is renewed. It is that moment when the heart’s fire is rekindled. h it -k In a torn and tortured world, I can still be glad, as Christmas approaches, that I can write these words and that I am fortunate enough to have people redd them — people in all parts of the coiintry, of all religions, col-ors.packgrounds. I am glad that I can unabashedly say, "God bless us all." A ★ ★ Let this column be brief. And let it end with a Merry Christmas to all.

I Merry Urday?Humbug, Say Savage Herewith is another timely chapter from that fascinating ’ anthropological study, "Strange Sex Practices Among the Ugulap Savages.” ■>' Unfortunately, this chapter deals not with sex practices but rather a weird re-- ligious sacrifice. - - - Once each ^ear, preceding the winter solstice, the high priests of the. Ugulaps blow sacred music on their bakalatas (a type of two-homed 'born). This signals the beginning of a peculiar three-week festival celebrating the birthday of the pagan god, Ur. ★ it - JS. 1 The sound of the music apparently induces a quasi-religious trance among the savage worshipers. Their eyes glaze, a smile freezes on their lips. They cluster in tightly-packed crowds, bumping and shoving each other- in the ritual of Trinket-Gathering — each struggling to grab more useless trinkets than the other. ■ At the same time, the sacrifice begins. Every adult Ugulap strives to destroy as mutch of the wealth he has arduously accumulated over the year as he can. MUST DECORATE HUTS The rituals of TrinketGathering and Wealth-Sacrificing last a full two weeks. In addition, each savage must compete to see who can decorate his jtiut with the most vividly painted-bini-bini leaves. The festival climaxes at the end Of the second week with Urday when the badly debilitated native must arise early to bestow on family and friends the useless trinkets he has so painfully gathered. ★ ★ Or More difficult, he must receive other useless trinkets in return, emitting just the proper number and intensity of cries of admiration — or face expulsion from the tribe. Following thiig severe trial, the Ugulap gathers with the distant relatives he has beat avoiding all year for ah overeating ceremony that drags on all day. ★ ★ ★ One would think the ordeal would end there. But the festival continues a third week with the same tighly packed crowds bumping and shoving. This time each strives to 4 exchange a useless trihket he received. It appears this pagan ritual may soon be seen no more. For even now, missionaries are at work among the Ugulaps seeking to convert these heathem savages and make good Christians of than. „ (Chronic* Publtitilng Co., )*tt) V, - Almanac By United Press International Today is Wednesday, Dec. 24.

FRANK TROHA ‘Gas Price War Illustrates Valuable Point’ The current gasoline • price war illustrates a valuable point about a free capitalist economy. Try as they may, the major gas companies can’t keep‘down the tiny independents who are able to offer the consumer a lower price. The consumer is, and should be, the sole regulator of monopoly in a free economy. I wonder if the government will now evoke its ambiguous anti-trust laws against the small businessman who "conspires” to offer the consumer lower prices. CHRIS BROCKMAN . 1404 S.

So today, Markham owns and drives, just for fun. • A low, Markham-designed roadster in which l)e can do 360-degree turns at 40-50 miles per hour. • A dune buggy he designed. • A motorcycle on which he >ars 30 feet through the air from a ramp. •What’s he think about during those $0 feet? “That I must land straight.” The roadsterJspinning is to test the car’s structural stability; the motorcycle jumping is practice for weekend riding of rough desert trails. : A - Jt A 1 What’s the kick in such speedy sports? “Control of the power," says Markham, whose fellow enthusiasts i n c 1 u d motorcycle rider Steve McQueen and auto racer Jim Garner. , So far, Monte has convinced his TV bosses his violent hobbies won’t suddenly land him in traction and their series without star, Sprains and- a few lacerations have been his only injuries. DANGEROUS TOO .Besides, he argues, acting itself can be dangerous. A fellow actor’s 46-pound sword once laid Monte’s scalp open, requiring six stitches, when Monte failed to raise his shield in time during an Ashland, Ore., Shakespearean festival. Another sword gashed him over one eye. Markham, 32, tall and boyishly intense, was reared in West Palm Beach near the Joseph P. Kennedy estate. When the Kennedys were at Hyennis during the Summers, Monte and his pals would climb the ‘fencg and swim in the family’s pool. .'' a * * In high school he was a high diver and earned money and free meals doing clown dives in aquatic shows around Miami. 'But once I hit the water from 30 jfeet and creamed myself,’ he recalls. “Blacked both eyes and broke my nose. So I gave that up.” Markham had an MGB sports car when he went to the Riverside road race last year and met Max Thumma, now his car builder. Thumma then , was an engineer for Dean Jeffries, who . designed When Monte Markham (Right) Soars On His Cycle (Left), He Has One Thought: I Must Land Straight company the right to remedy the complaint.” a * A If Shea’s psychological warfare had not wbrked and the company had not finished the job, Shea would have had to turn the complaint over to the state attorney general, .Who would then Issue the contractor' a subpoena. Shea’s office does not have the right to levy fines or issue subpoenas. * *- * • The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, largest in the country, has a staff of 350, including 160 inspectors and a cadre of 80 volunteers. The measures, frauds and athletics. The Massachusetts Consumer Council, created by the legislature in 1963, was the first statutory body of its kind in the country. LITTLE COST “You don’t need a lot of money to start a valid state consumer program,” said Dermot P. Shea, the council's executive secretary. “You just need change of emphasis. We have cost the state more than $75,000 to $100,000 over the past five years. Myerson Grant, a Bronx girl who became Miss America and a. television personality, was appointed last March by Mayor Lindsay at a $25,000 salary. IN HIGH GEAR Ever since, the department has been operating, in fourth gear. In a recent week,- it received 800 complaints about unfair business practices and got some action on 559.

WHOLE NEW CAR Markham and Thumma sat down to plan an engine change for Monte’s MGB, to give it more speed, and ended up proudly, designing a whole new car, The “Manatee Roadster” has fiber-glass body and Ford power system on the MGB chassis. It. is named for the Florida community, 1 a t merged with Bradenton, where Monte was bom.

"We’re the ombudsmen, the parking garages which overcharge and damage cars, frozen fresh” fish, excessive hospital rates and door-to-door salesmen who peddle black and white TVs as color sets. His “Hotspur Buggy" 1 named for a past favorite role in Shakespeare’s “Henry VI.” Markham and Thumma have formed Hotspur Automotive to protect patents on Markham' body designs. Four potential buyers haVe ordered the dune buggies, but the customers may have to wait. Says Markham: “I’m not to create a racing company or a dune buggy corporation. It’s purely entertainment, an avocation, fun.” WEEKEND TRAILING He spends weekends “trail-I about the Palmdale desert A spokesman for Mrs. Grant’s office says, “Wo are finding more and more adulterated meat patties, but it’s also clear people’s lobbyists,” Shea says W!stores,Ia™ oroudiy. “We probe.” | labeling their cutlets as cu lets If a Massachusetts housewife and their .patties as patties.” walks into a department store If a butcher in New York City sells hamburgers advertised as 100 per cent pure beef and an inspector finds they are mixed with pork, the Department of Consumer Affairs may fine the butcher up to $100 for the entire violation, or depending on the discretion of the commissioner, $100 for each porky hamburger sold. and orders a $450 color television set to be paid for on-credit, under the State Retail Sales Act, she, must be told the carrying charge is 18 per cent, or $90 extra over a two-year period.

Huron Word About Prisoners Is Joy to Many By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cfards or letters from 131 American prisoners of- war . in North Vietnam have brought tears of joy in homes around the nation. Some families learned for the first time that their men were alive and well. , The four children of Maj. Donald Odell had gpne out Christmas caroling in Mount Clemens, Mich., Tuesday but quit because of the bitter cold. Then came word that their father, missing was reported for 26 months, alive and well. "After those kids got the news, there was no stopping them," said their jubilant mother, Mrs. Shirley Odell. ‘‘They’re back in the old, telling the neighbors their dad!s all right, singing'their hearts out up and down the block." / It hpd been 18 months since Air Force 2nd Lt. Michael T. i, 25, was shot down over North Vietnam, and his parents in Warsaw, Indv, knew nbthing except that he had been seen landing safely. Then his name appeared on the list made public Tuesday by two women leaders of the antiwar movements just back from North Vietnam. ‘‘I couldn’t think of anything We’d like better than this," said his father, John B. Burqs. “This is the time of year for things like this to happen.” In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman said all but four of the names had appeared on previous lists of prisoners. He declined to say which four names were new, or reveal the names of five men that North Vietnam reported are dead. Many of the families on the st said jthey had not heard from their inert previously or had not had word in months.
