DR. FRANK BAXTER . . . Merry Christmas
Large Turnout Hears Baxter's Yule Readings
Students filled the lower section of Bovard audi.orium and part of the first balcony yesterday aft«?r-i noon to hear Dr. Frank Baxter g.ve his 11th annual Christmas reading.
After an introduction by Capt. Clinton Neyman, university chaplain, Dr. Bax er put his audience in the Christ, nas mood by recalling a few lines from Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”
‘FROM FAR AWAY’
The first selection was a 13th-century ballade, “From Far Away.” Holding his audience in rapt attention, Dr. Baxter turned to Walter de le Mare's Christmas ballad, “Three Ghosts Came Riding By.” Continuing with serious verse, he read "A Christmas Folk Seng,” Reese; and ’‘The W*orlds Desire,” Chesterson.
Other traditional verses, which he said he had given many times in the past, included "The Attendants.” David Morton; ‘The Oxen,” Thomas Hardy; “The Maid Servant at the Inn,” Dorothy Parker: and "A Christmas Circular Letter,” Robert Frost.
Two new poems, “The Orphans,” and “The Christmas Tree,” were read. The author of the new verses is William G. Ar.germann, associate professor of electrical engineering on campus.
BRITISH POEMS During the war in North Africa, Dr. Baxter explained, the British Eighth Army conducted a poetry contest and published the best entries in a book, “Poems of the Eighth Army.” From this collection, he read ••Christmas in Tobruk.” written by a British soldier, and an anonymous prayer which a British lieutenant found blowing across the African desert.
E. B. Wrhite's “Christmas Presents” and two selections by Ogden j Nash preceded the finale.
For the signoff. Dr. Baxter reserved the reading of the late Rob- j ert Benchley’s “A Christmas Spec- j tacle.” In this piece Benchley de- j scribed in detail the scene of a Christmas eve program in a small- : town church.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15—(UP) —Alger Hiss was indicted for perjury tonight by a federal grand jury which charged that he delivered secret State department papers to Whittaker Chambers for transmis-i sion to Russia.
The grand jury, just six hours before its 18-month
probe of prewar Communist espionage ended by law, said Hiss, a former policy-making official of the State department, had committed perjury on two counts.
The grand jury could not indict Hiss for espionage because of the three-year statute of limitations.
HAVE PROOF
Indictment said Hiss lied when he testified that he did not deliver government documents to Chambers and when he said he had not seen Chambers after Jan. 1, 1937.
John F. X. McGchey, US attorney for the southern district of New York, said Hiss would be arraigned tomorrow or Friday. He could not say when his trial would take place.
“We can prove that he (Hiss) lied when he said he did not give the papers to Chambers,” McGohey said. “What we have to prove is that he was lying, not that he turned over the secret documents.”
PHASE CLOSED
Maximum penalty for each of the two counts of perjury is five years in jail and a $2000 fine.
In Washington the House Committee on Un-American Activities said the indictment “closes that phase of our investigation” into Communist espionage.
With reference to Hiss’ alleged perjury, a government attorney pointed out that federal law requires proof of perjury by at least two persons. In other words, Chambers’ allegations alone were not sufficient to charge Hiss with falsehood. The grand jury must have had testimony from someone ether than Chambers that Hiss did turn over secret documents and that he aid meet Chambers during his State department tenure.
The identity of that second witness was not disclosed.

Sword Backlog Bolsters Tommy
Approximately 10 new swords have been fabricated for the trophy rooms of SC’s rivals, a usually reliable source reported last
week.
Friday of the Notre Dame rally found the first of the new weapons clutched firmly in the iron grasp of Tommy. It was the first time in many weeks that TT had been armed. Four days later Tommy again faced University avenue unarmed.
At the present rate of consumption, it does not appear as though these 10 new swords are going to be enough to keep Tommy armed until the end of the semester.
Since it has been decided by the Trojan Knights that the cheapest and most satisfactory method to keep TT in swords is to keep right on replacing them as they are stolen, it might b« suggested that they be ordered in gross lots.
