New Hampshire
Man Acts As
Santa’s Helper
By RICHARD J. SINNOTT
WEST LEBANON, N. H. (*-
“Hello, Santa, can you hear me?
Thanks for ail the gifts last year.
Now' this year ..
From now until Christmas, tele
phone operators all over the coun
try will be channeling “calls for
Santa Claus” to big-hearted Jo
seph Schanbier at his home here.
This is the sixth consecutive year
that the 37-year-old Veterans Ad
ministration clerk has taken over
the role of “St. Nick.”
From 6 until 9 p.m., EST, chil
dren can call the “North Pole”
just by telling the telephone oper
ator “I want to talk to Santa Claus
at West Lebanon, N. H.”
The operator will put through the
call, providing Mommy or Daddy
pays the toll charge.
The 5-foot-6, 125-pound Schanbier
volunteered to be Santa in 1948
when the nearby White River Junc
tion, Vt., VFW post decided young
sters should have an opportunity
to plume Christmas requests.
This year three VFW posts are
sponsoring the venture. The tele
phone company has installed a spe
cial switchboard.
Last year 3,500 youngsters called
Schanbier. This year he expects
twice as many calls. His wife
Frances, 44, and four neighborhood
children his “helpers” assist
him.
Youngsters calling Schanbier re
ceive the full “Santa workshop”
treatment. Santa’s cheery voice
greets them; a music box plays;
reindeer beels tinkle; and a 100-
year-old bell peals.
Some parents write Schanbier in
advance so when the youngster
calls Santa he is either congratu
lated or admonished regarding his
pre-yuletide behavior.
Strauss Says
U.S. Leads In
Atomic Field
WASHINGTON Ufi Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic
Energy Commission said today the
United States is “making very
rapid and satisfactory progress”
and continues to lead Russia in the
nuclear weapons field.
Asked in a copyrighted interview
with the magazine U. S. News and
World Report whether this coun
try is “substantially ahead of So
viet Russia” in the atomic arms
race, Strauss replied:
“Yes. We started sooner. We
have more material to experiment
with. We have more facilities. We
believe we have more of these very
large experimental machines. But,
since I can’t look behind the Iron
Curtain, I can’t be absolutely cer
tain. Most importantly, we have
t devoted group of free men at
work on the problems. . . .
“We are making very rapid and
satisfactory progress. In a busi
ness which has no competition un
til and unless you go to war, * it’s
a little dangerous to feel assurance
that the progress is satisfactory,
but I believe it is.”
Strauss said the nation now has
about BV4 billion dollars invested
In its atomic energy business, and
that the present program contem
plates spending of about half a
billion dollars more on the plant.
“Then,” he said, “we will be
running with an operating
expenditure of about two billion
dollars a year ... for as long
as one can foresee.”
Truman Is
Late To Philly
PHILADELPHIA IB Former
President Harry Truman arrived
here early today after a delay of
several hours necessitated by me
chanical trouble to an airliner at
Kansas City.
Trans-World Airlines said Tru
man’s original flight was canceled
and that all passengers were taken
to Chicago on another plane and
then flown here.
Tfuman is in Philadelphia to at
tend a S7O-a plate testimonial at
which he will be honored tonight.
The proceeds will go towards the
Harry S. Truman Library at In
dependence, Mo.
Tucson Locale
Has Long Usage
TUCSON, Ariz. MV-An anthropol
ogist said evidence uncovered last
week indicates a “possibility”
Tucson is the oldest continuously
occupied community in the nation.
Dr. Emil Haury director of the
Arizona State Museum, based his
statement on preliminary exami
nation of pottery found on the floor
of a pit hut struck by excavators
in downtown Tucson. It indicated
Tucson may have been occupied
as early as 900 A. D., he said.
Other material found hereabouts
mpears to date right up to the
Ostorlcal period, he added.
