Dean Of Santas Admits Telling Little White Lies
Washington—(U.R.)—The most dishonest, but best-loved character in the town these days is Percy J. Bobbitt.
He is the dean of Washington professional Santas, and is thoroughly schooled on how to tell one little white lie after another—and make them convincing.
Bobbitt, the father of six, is the dean of Santas at the Hecht company. He earned his false beard after graduating from the Albion, N. Y., Santa school. This is his 14th time out in the red getup and white bushy eve-brows.
Any Santa worthy of the uniform, he said, is taught to juggle his answers to the small fly without giving away big folks secrets.
"For instance," he said, "When a kid gets to nosing around and doesn't see any reindeer, I tell him that Donder and Blitzen come out only on Christmas eve. And that at the moment the horned critters are being conditioned for the around-the-world task of landing on house-tops."
Once in awhile, Mr. Babbitt said, a Santa runs into a youngerster too honest for his own good. He'll admit that he's been a little imp most of the year, sassed his mommy, pulled the cat's tail every chance he got, acted up in Sunday school and did a little alley fighting.
When he finds the child's moniker, he assures the young'un that if he will mend his ways before the big day and soap behind his ears he'll get that new tricycle or teddy bear.
At that point Santa, who already has learned the kid's name, will haul down a big, official-looking book. It contains every conceivable first name—from Aaron to Zebediah.
Psychology comes into the picture.
He says that the business of playing the role of a store-paid Santa calls for more than just enough muscle to life 500 rascals up to your knee every day.
Before he puts in his first appearance he spends a couple of days poking around the toy department in civilian clothes. He must learn the mechanics of operating the latest model trains, atomic toys, and which dolls can say "mama," eat and walk.

Looking the part, perhaps, is the most important thing. A Santa with a misplaced, or slipped, false tummy looks like a bandaged finger in the fiddle section.
War Increases Psychiatric Needs
Topcka, Kan—(U.P).An increased need for psychiatric services will be a consequence of the present war situation, David Neiswanger, president of the Meninger foundation, said today in the UPSychiatric Research center's ninth annual report.
"Psychiatrists, in the course of their daily efforts to make sick people well," Neiswanger wrote, "cannot but see that the unhappy and tortured and broken personalities that come to them for help and treatment all too frequently represent the effects of our predominate cultural patterns of family life, educational systems, industrial practices and social customs.
"Even without reading the newspapers or listening to the radio the psychiatrist can find daily evidence in his own patients that we live in a distressed and distressing world where men fail to understand men, often cannot get along even with themselves.
"The present war is a vivid and tragic example of men's failure to deal with his fellow man in a healthful manner."
Neiswanger asserted that civilization has progressed much further in developing tools for mass production—and destruction—than its people have progressed in "learning how to live with one another."
"The ratio between what we know about physical science, as represented by atomic power, television and transportation, and what we know about social science has grown out of hand," he said.
"It may not be correct to say that we know too much about the former, but it is undeniably true that our knowledge about people is made more dangerous by the plenitude of our knowledge about things.
Radio Campaign Used On Nepal By Chinese Reds
New Deli. India - (U.P.)-Communist China, its troops already deep in Tibet, launched an ominous propaganda campaign today against Nepal, tiny pro-western buffer state between Tibet and India.
The Chinese Communist radio charged in a Peiping broadcast that the United States and Britain were trying to use Nepal as a puppet and "challenge to China."
The broadcast said American merchants and spies now were swarming through Nepal—the same charge the Communists made before they sent their troops over the border from China into Tibet.
The broadcast also quoted a Communist Telepress News Agency dispatch from London saying that Britain and Nepal had signed an agreement on Oct. 30 which constitutes an "overture for intensive British intervention in Nepal."
Meantine, the exact positions of Communist columns rolling toward Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, were not known. But the invaders were within 150 miles of Lhasa and possibly as close as 115 miles away.
Unconfirmed reports from Kalim-pong near the Tibetan border said Pemba Dzong, about 150 miles northeast of the Tibetan capital, had fallen to the Communists.
Official sources in Gangtok, on the main Indo-Tibetan trade route, said the Communists had reached the Taichao (Giamda Dzong) fortress, 115 miles from Lhasa.
From Pemba Dzong, the Communists would roll toward Gamdzzeen and the Neichin Tangla mountain range, whose peaks rise to 23,000 feet. Once this forbidden terrain is crossed the invaders from the capital fatt land on the roof of the world all the way to their goal. Lhasa.
The Indian trade mission in Lhasa has reported that the Dalai Lama, 14-year-old boy ruler, still is in his palace. This report conflicted with one from Kalimpong that the boy had fled with a few of his trusted advisers and a small contingent of troops.
