ON CHRISTMAS DAY Students Guests of Vaniers For Turkey All Trimmings 'OTTAWA (CP) -- Governor- General and Mme. Vanier had a family Christmas dinner after all. For a time it looked as though it would be dinner for two for the vice-regal couple when they learned that none of their four children could join them for the holiday at Govern- ment House. Then, said a Government House aide, the Vaniers hit upon the idea of having a Commonwealth family dinner. As a result eight students representing seven Common- wealth countries were invited -for turkey and all the trim- mings at Rideau Hall. All are studying at Ottawa area uni- versities far away from any members of their families. "How nice of you to come and cheer us up," ime. Van- ier said as she greeted her din- ner guests. GOOD NEIGHBORS crept up behind the thief, threatening to hit him. The man told the couple he was unemployed and his wife had no food. He then ran from the store as Mrs. Szportan went to tele- phone police. Mr. Szportan chased the man two blocks down the street, at one point throwing the hammer and hitting him in the back. When the man reached his car, Mr, Szportan battered the ve- hicle's hood and roof with the hammer as it pulled away. "I think maybe whoever the man was, if he didn't get the Christmas spirit from that scare, then at least he got the fear of God and that's just as good," the grocer said.

RYAN AP Special Correspondent The Vietnamese Communists are "ready to talk peace" in South Viet Nam--but on their terms. That, in the long run, would mean the south would eventually become Communist and "years of costly U.S. effort would. be annulled, Obviously jubilant over re- curring political crisis in Saigon successful bold attacks and ter- rorism, the Communist regime in North Viet Nam gives the impression in its propaganda it sees events rushing toward a climax. The Communists speak as if victory already were ter of time. _If they talk peace, the Com- munists now indicate, it will not be under the auspices of any broad international convocation. Viet Nam will settle their own affairs between themselves." Nhan Dan, official North Viet- namese Communist newspaper, said recently: "When the ag- lgressor (the United States) |gives up his aggressive schemes jand respgcts our independence But they do not indicate they are really willing to talk peace with the United States beyond inviting the United States to get out of South Viet Nam and let the Communists negotiate with Saigon. They even imply the Soviet Union, too, would remain mostly out of such talks. Only Chinese participation seems to be acceptable to the Commu- nists. Peking, indeed, acts as spokesman for the Vietnamese Communists, A few days ago, Red Chinese foreign minister} Chen Yi said: 'The South Viet Nam question can be settled only through negotiations with- out outside interference and in accordance with the program of the National Liberation Front and the desire of the South Viet Nam people. There is no other way out." The. suggestion really is for talks between the Saigon gov- ernment--whatever it might be at any given moment--and the so - called National Liberation Front of South Viet Nam, the Viet Cong Communist cover or- ganization. The front has its real headquarters in China un- der a man named Nguyen Minh |and sovereignty, we are ready Ito talk peace with him." Phuong. ietnamese Reds Ready To Talk-On Their Terms It was set up four years ago with Chinese help, when it was decided the time was ripe for a drive to envelop all Indochina. From then on, things popped in the south, which had been rela- tively quiet since Viet Nam was partitioned following the French debacle at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. After this decision, things got so rough the United States began its mammoth military assistance effort. The North Viet Nam Commu- nists--and the Chinese--happily predict now that soon "a new Dien Bien Phu" will take place --the end of the road for the Americans as it had been for the French.

SPIRIT LACKING HAMILTON (CP) John Szportan, 65, didn't think the thief who tried to shoot his wife and rob his grocery store Christmas Eve had any Christ- mas spirit. His wife, Mary, screamed when the man entered the store and said he would shoot her if she did not give him money. Mr. Szportman, who was up- stairs in the store's living quar- ters, grabbed a hammer and Kennedy Airport Christmas Day. | The reunion was both a Christmas and a birthday pres-| ent for Mrs. Stefanija Rukas.

CONCERN FELT ABROAD Outside the island fingers from many lands nervously prod the Cyprus: pie. Greece has her debt to the country's 80 - per - cent Greek popula- tion. Turkey is concerned about the 17-per-cent Turkish minor- jity here. |. Britain has her sovereign |bases to fret about as well as a feeling of responsibility for her former colony, now in the Com- monwealth. The United States views with its customary. alarm the growing strength of com- munism among Greek-Cypriots and worries about weakening |NATO of which both Greece jand Turkey are members. The brooding figure of Russia also expresses interest in the is- land's future--or fate. Intercommunal fighting be- tween Turk and Greek drew British soldiers out of the sov- pskelgn base areas a year ago to quell the chaos, at the request of the Greek-Cypriot president, Archbishop Makarios. Britain asked the UN to take over and the Security Council resolved March 4 to set up a peace force for three months. About 1,000 members of the Royal 22nd Regiment (Van Doos) flown in | helped preserve a shaky cease- jfire. ° Heavy fighting broke out again between Greek and Turk Aug. 5 in northwest Cyprus, out- |side the Canadian area of re- sponsibility, and jet aircraft from Turkey flew in to back up the Turkish-Cypriots, killing an estimated 53. Growing Influence Evident Of Women In By CAROL KENNEDY Fatima Jinnah, a 72-year-old spinster. stands as a symbol of the growing influence of women in world affairs, a trend that was most evident in 1964 and may be even more apparent in 1965. Miss Jinnah, sister of Paki- stan's founder and first gover- nor-general, is running against Ayub Khan. up for re-election in the February general elec- tion in the Asian Common- wealth country. Claiming that President Ayub's. autocratic policies are a '"'betraya!" of her late broth- er's demociatic: principles, Miss Jinnab wants a federal struc- \ Wo jdimensiun to the image of the especially with President John F.

Uppermost in the feud is the delicate issue of national unity, to which the CLC-has devoted) much of its energy since its founding in 1956. The CNTU originally aimed its criticisms at international) unions -- those with headquar-| ters in the United States. Now,! athe CLC says, the attack is against Canadian unions as well A CLC spokesman put it this way: The CNTU used to tell work- ers they should join a Canadian) union instead of sending dues to Washington. Now their or- ganiers say: 'Join a Quebec has narrowed the president's initial wide lead. If elected, Miss Jinnah would take pregedence over that other distinguitked woman politician wasiof the Commonwealth -- Prime) Minister Sirimavo Bandanar- aike of Ceylon. WOMEN RECOGNIZED But win or lose, the fact that she was even nominated is a reflectior: of the growing recog- nition being accorded women in fields of action once the almost exclusive preserve of the male. Britain's new Labor govern- ment followed the trend by naming sever women to import- ant positious, and, for the first time, the wife of a U.S. presi- dential candidate went out cam- paigning on her own. Accomplishment in the sphere of science was also recognized, with the Nobel prize for chem- istry being awarded to a Brit- ish woman. Probably if a poll were taken on the subject, Queen Elizabeth and Jacqueline Kennedy would hold a commanding lead among the world's most admired women. The Queen's dignity 'sor, but who displayed a politi- cal flair to match her husband's in the U.S. presidential election. | |FACED HOSTILE CROWDS | Mrs. Johnson's whistlestop swing through the Deep South, \facing often-hostile crowds, was an act of considerable courage. Another U.S. woman in- the news was Marietta Tree, the beautifu!, chic wife of a former of Parl'ament. She was named U.S. representative to \United Nations Trusteeship /Council with the rank of am- |bassador, a post formerly held by Congressmen. In Britain, the Labor govern- ment boosted the cause of brainy woinen by raising red-| |headed Barbara Castle, 53, to) the cabinet as minister for over-| seas development--the fourth} woman in British history to hold cabinet rank. i other women obtained ministerial or high parliamen-| tary posts, including Jennie Lee, the vigorous, 60-year-old widow of left-wing firebrand Aneurin Bevan.

A quiet Oxford housewife, Dorothy Hodgkin, 54, inscribed her name alongside Eve Curie by becoming the third woman to win the Nobel prize for chem- istry, for her work in analysing the structure of penicillin and Vitamin B-12. Public life in the Soviet Un- ion lost grandmotherly Nina Khrushchev when the party axe fell on her husband in October. In six years she had made her own cortribution to the easing of cold war tensions when she accompanied Nikita} Khruch- chey on foreign tours. In Greece the enigmatic and \controversial Queen Frederika continued to hold attention after the death of her husband King Paul. Greeks wondered whether this vital, intensely political woman would long be content with the undemanding role of queen mother now that her son Constantine is king. In September the Van Doos were returned to Canada and the ist' Battalion, Canadian Guards, took over. The vital Kyrenia Road stretching through Turkish ter- ritory was opened to Greek-Cy- priots Oct. 26. Canadians pro- vided protective escorts for the daily convoys along the 16-mile route. What next? Officers com- manding the Canadian contin- gent, which forms the largest single unit of the UN force, take grim delight in quoting the last Cyprus governor Sir Hugh Foot's wry but uncomfortable axiom: "Anyone who understands the Cyprus situation has been mis- informed." But one can with some cer- ed foretell the immediate future. The Greek - Cypriot govern- ment will probably strive for) peace here; will lull and 'woo between March 14 and 28) make a good impression on the |UN. Then Makarios hopes for a \recommendation by the UN |General Assembly that the. is- |land should determine its own) future by the democratic "one |man, one vote" principle. Ma- karios and his Greek-Cypriots outnumber the Turks by about five to one. Depending on whether Makarios decides to "implement" the General As- sembly resolution gradually or immediately, fighting could re- |sult. EXPECT REFERENDUM But eventually there should be a referendum offering alter- naiives, perhaps, of independ- ence for the island; complete union with Greece; or partial union with Greece. Enosis--un- ion with Greece--in any form would stir Turkish - Cypriot wrath. Independence without explicit 'safeguards for the Turkish-Cypriot minority would likely produce fireworks and the Greek-Cypriots seem to have little interest in providing such safeguards. It would appear, then, that no matter what the outcome of the referendum, Turkish - Cypriots would oppose it. Their leader, Dr. Fazil Kuchuk, insists on partition of the island into two separate communities, with separate rule for each. Many suspect that following a satisfactory UN resolution, Makarios would ease most of the UN force off the island. Then, arguing that overcoming Turkish resistance by force | | } | Preside Over Uneasy Peace would merely be carrying out the assembly resolution calling for self-determination, he could say the Turkish-Cypriots were terrorists. And if Turkey threat- ened to come to the Turkish- Cypriots' aid, Makarios could appeal to the UN to stop inter- ference in what he would say was a United Nations - spon- sored act. That-.seems the line of cur- rent Greek - Cypriot thinking. But something could go wrong almost anywhere along the line. There is even the possibility that either Makarios or Kuchuk might step forward and make an offer so generous that the other would accept. And for all Makarios's appar- ent superiority, he has two key problems. One is an_ internal split in the Greek-Cypriot bloc. The other is the possibility of an open dispute over Cyprus. It is generally said that all the Turkish minority, hoping to areek-Cypriots want Enosis but this is far from true. Some ob- ances, would prefer an pendent island. |was_ shattered of the two national communi- ties" should be included in any solution to the Cyprus problem: It sounded like partition to the Turkish-Cypriots and they were jubilant.

The communique included the rec- ommendation that 'the princi- ple of territorial integrity, and observance. of the legal rights Canadian Press Staff Writer In the churches of Bethlehem, those who pray for the salva- tion of man must be expressly concerned with the rattling of guns in Jerusalem and the threat of war echoing over the Middle East and Africa. The pilgrim who visits the holy land must study with an- guish the annual Christmas pic- ture of. Arab and Israeli facing each other with bayonets and machine-guns. But this is not the major problem. The border war ap- pears to be limited and con- tained. The problem appears on the surface to be within the strength of the United Nations. But the United Nations, its own future still facing an abyss of uncertainty, may find 't more difficult to come to grips with the wildfire claims of po- litical nationalism .and the hun- ger for personal power that could ignite the Middle East and Africa. President Nasser has un- leashed a vitriolic attack against the United States just a few days after Egyptian MiG fighters forces down a light American commercial aircraft, killing its two occupants. When the U.S. protested and also pleaded with Nasser to stop sending weapons to the Congolese rebels, Nasser blunty told the U.S. to take its econo- mic aid and jump into the lake. He admitted helping the rebels and said he would go on doing so. TURNS TO EAST Up to the present, Nasser has seemed to be playing East and West against each other, ac- cepting aid from both sides but still maintaining a certain amount of independence. Now it appears he has virtually turned his back to the west, praising the new Soviet leader with whom he seems ready to enter | diplomatic quarters, there is growing conviction Nasser sees himself not only as the strong- man of the Middle East but as the strong man of all Africa, one of the most sensitive and volatile regions of the globe. His words have indicated he cares little about the white mis- sionaries and their children killed by The Congo rebels. He sees The Congo fighting as a war of liberation with those sup- porting the government of Moise Tshombe merely at- tempting to assert the Western will on the native papulation. Nasser has much influence in the United Arab Republic and the Organization for African Unity. Supported by Soviet mili- tary power, he may attempt to assert his strength with opera- tions resulting in bloodshed. in the months to come. Red willingness to "despise the enemy." This is a slap at. the Russians who, complains Pek- ing, are too cowardly to '"de- spise the enemy strategically while taking account of him tac- tically."" If there are to be talks to end the South Viet Nam war, the northern Communists and: the Chinese insist it be a Vietna- mese affair primarily, Chinese spokesmen ruled out the United Nations as "under U.S. con- trol." UN participation would also permit a Soviet foot in the door. Clearly the oriental Commu- nists seem to feel that for the Americans, time is running out and that the Asian communists will reap the spoils. > NEED A NEW... OIL. FURNACE?
