A German housewife was won her
war with the U. S. army. She’s
silenced its guns.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Werner
Schnelle wrote the commander of
U. S. troops here, asking him to
point the signal guns in front of
army headquarters in another di

the guns rattled the windows of
her home and of houses for blocks
around, she said.

Schnelle that the guns would fire
their last salute—except for oc

International Falls, Minn. It was j

and Chicago shivered at 4 above, i
the coldest day of the season. j
New York City’s early morning
reading was a mild 60 and early
holiday celebrators strolled Times
Square carrying topcoats and over
coats over their arms. Yesterday
the mercury hit 62.2, a record
high for Dec. 22.
Light snow fell yesterday in the

Valley and also in the Dakotas and
j Montana.
Sleet, ice and snow storms caus

ITimum And Pope
Exchange Messages
WASHINGTON, (^—President
Truman told Pope Pius XII in a
Christmas message that the United
States “gladly re-dedicates its ef
forts to the creation of a peaceful
and advancing world order.”
The Pontiff said in reply:
•We invoke the light, assistance
and blessing of the Christ child
upon your excellency’s person and
work, as well as upon all your fel
low citizens, who courageously
strive to find and follow the road
leading to a peaceful future for
mankind.”
The White House yesterday
made public the exchange of mes
sages.
Mr. Truman’s, dated Dec. 17,
was delivered to the Pope by My
ron C. Taylor, U. S. representative
at Vatican City.
“The summons to peace on
earth, good will toward men, has
come ringing down the ages, giv
ing direction to the thought and
the action of every human being
whose life is lived according to
God’s purpose,” the President
wrote.
