HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

Spiritual And FamilyValues Stressed By Queen} Elizabeth .

SANDRMNIGIHLAM, Eng. (CPI—- The Queen talked of the import- ance of spiritual and family val- ues in her annual Christmas -‘ broadcast Thursday while her - own family watched on television ' in the next room.

‘ Viewers were taken into the : library of Sandringham House, on the" Queen’s country estate in .Noiifolkj'l‘here she was waiting Jo convey her greetings to fam— lilies throughout the Common- ; wealth.

It was the second time that her ripeech had been televised while .it was being broadcast. She said: ‘ “It seems to me that Christ- imas is just the time to be grate- gill-1 to those who add fulness to ‘our lives . . . the “prophets and dreamers, philosophers, men of 'ldeas and poets, artists in paint, .fSCIlIDtm‘e and music . . .

‘ “Even so, we need something ‘more. We all need the kind of security that one gets from a happy and united family."

SPOKE 'FRAOM SETTEE

Viewers saw her sitting at one end of an embroidered settee, her back supported by a big “cushion. In the background was I table with a double photo- frame holding pictures of Prince “Charles and Princess Anne.

In warm tones the Queen spoke

0f many persons who had written 'sayin‘g they like to see the Royal children on television on Christ- v mas afternoon. “We value your interest in .them." said the Queen. “and I can assure you that we have thought about this a great deal before deciding against it."

She explained she and Prince Philip want the children to grow "P as naturally as possible. _

HWe believe that public life is not a fair burden to place on ' crowing children. I am sure that

all of you who are parents will understan .” SHORTER TALK

She made a five-minute talk, eight minutes shorter than last year.

At one point she joked about travel plans for the Royal Fam- ily to Africa, Australia, Canada, India, Pakistan and Central and South America in the coming year.

“We have no plans for space travel — at the moment," she said.

Throughout her message the Queen 5 t r e s 5 ed the Common- wealth lin‘k and had a special word for “the men and women and children from other parts of the Commonwealth who have come to live and work in the great cities of this country and may well be missing the warmth and sunshine of their home- lands."

A slight technical hitch in the sound transmission meant that millions of radio listeners missed the first eight words of the Christmas m e s s a g e, a BBC spokesman said.

TIMING OFF

He said the national anthem preceding the message was re- corded separately for telev1510n and radio. It fin i sh‘ed four seconds earlier on televismn.

“The television go - ahead for the start of the Queen's mes- sage was about three seconds too early for sound,” the SPORES' man said.

“It was just one of those awful things. It was literally a matter of seconds."

This morning at Sandringham a crowd of about 1,000 greeted the Queen and 13 other members of the Royal Family with shouts of “happy Christmas” as they left the parish church.

U.S. May Have Lithium Bomb

By FRANK CAREY

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States may have devel~ oped a lithium bomb—a compar- atively cheap method of produc- ing a hydrogen explosion.

This was suggested by some scientists T h u r s d a y with an- nouncement of the recent discov- ery of a strange air glow in the Antarctic w h i c h is believed linked with U. S. high - altitude nuclear tests in the Pacific last August.

The air glow was described in an International Geophy~ sical Year report which also said nuclear tests might produce an- other bizarre happening in the skies -— man . made or artificial auroras.

DETECTED BY INSTRUMENTS

The eveningtide glow in the south polar skies—not visible to the naked eye but capable of de-

tection on sensitive instruments called spectrographs—is ascribed

to “lithium in the high atmos- phere, a constituent not pre-

viously known to be present

there.”

Hugh 0dishaw, executive di-

rector of the U. S. national com- mittee of the International Geo-

physical Year, told about the dis-

covery in a report highlighting scientific findings during the 18 months of the IGY which offi- cially ends Dec. 31.

Speaking of the lithium air

glow, Odishaw said:

“A plain inference is that these

new manifestations could be re- lated to nuclear tests carried out during the same period as the IGY program."

LIGHTWEIGHT METAL

While the IGY report contained

no fur t h e r speculation, some other scientists theorized to a re- porter that the presence of lith- ium in the high atmosphere may mean this:

That. the United States may be

using the lightweight metal lith- ium as a kind of make-it-as-you-

en explosives within the bomb or missile itself.

In such a version. lithium would be contained in a bomb touched off by an orthodox A- bomb triger. Neutrons released by the A-bomb would then con- vert some of the lithium into tri- tium. a hydrogen explosive. The heat from the A-bomb explosion would also cause the tritium to fuse. producing the main hydro- gen explosion.

The Atomic Energy Commis- sion declined to say whether lith- ium is used in any of its weap- ons. Neither would the AEC com~ mcnt on the IGY theory that the Antarctic air glow may be due to nuclear tests.

The ABC has said tritum is a possible constituent of hydrogen bombs. But it has described only one process for making it — the fusion of atoms of deuterium, the form of heavy hydrogen that oc- curs in heavy water.

Woman Teller Foils Bandit

NEW YORK (APl—A man de- manded money from a woman bank teller Wednesday, threaten- ing her life. But she quickly dropped to the ﬂoor, pushed an alarm button and watched the bandit ﬂee empty handed.

Thus the teller, Mrs. Kinsey Nigro, 33, broke a growing chain of successful balm thefts based on threatening notes handed to tellers. Her bosses at the Chem- ical Corn Exchange bank gave her a $500 reward for her brav- ery.

In Mrs. Nigro‘: cage was about $75,000.

Less than two hours after the attempted robbery. the FBI ar- rested Danny Harris. 31. near his home a few blocks away from the bank. He was taken back to the bank where Mrs. Nigro iden- tified him as the man who had

The Christian world Thursday celebrated Christmas at home, on pilgrimages, in military barracks and great cathedrals.

A congregation of 20.000 in Saint Peter's Basilica applauded Pope John XXIII as he was car- ried into the church on his pow able throne to celebrate mass. The pontiff said a low mass over the great altar, unadorned but for six tall candles. It was the first time in the memory of most of the worshippers that a pontiff celebrated this simple daymday rite in public in the Vatican ba- silica.

The pontiff appeared later on a balcony high on the facade of the basilica to give his Christmas blessing to a crowd of more than 100,000 gathered in Saint Peter's Square.

North American Continent Would Be Battleground

MOSCOW (AP! — The Berlin dispute could touch off a war whose flames "would inevitably spread to the American conti. nenl," Foreign Minister Andrei Gromka said Thursday.

Declaring that the Soviet ar- senal has all the modern weapons it needs to meet any aggression. he said a new war would bring death "to millions upon millions of people"

At the same time, he told the closing session of the Supreme So- viet the Soviet Union ll ready "even tomorrow“ to sign an agreement to end nuclear weap- ons tests. But he heaped scorn on Western insistence that such a pact be sealed by a foolproof in- spection system.

Gromka reserved his toughest words for the situation in West Berlin. He said the Soviet Union hoped wise salesmanship would accept Soviet proposals for West Berlin as I foundation for a solu- tion to the crisis.

MUST BE SOLVE!)

The West has rejected the So- viet plan to end next spring the U.S.S.R., U.S.. British and French occupation of Berlin. West Ber-

lin would become an unarmed free city. Gromka said the So- viet Union is ready to consider any Western counter-proposal.

But he said the West Berlin question must be solved, and added: “If an end is not put u: it. the threat will further increasn of West Berlin becoming a sec- ond Sarajevo which kindled the flames of the First World War.

(This was I reference to the assassination of Archduke Ferdi- hand of Austria-Hungary at Sara- jevo in 1914)

“Any provocation here. any at- tempt at aggression against the G e r m a 1: Democratic Republic (East Gcrmanyl may start a new big war in which millions upon millions of people would find their death.

“The flame of war would inev- itably spread to the American continent for today's military techniques have virtually elimin- ated the difference between dist- ant theatres of war and those close at hand."

Gromyko said the Soviet Union will hand over its occupation rights ln West Berlin to the East German government if no agree- ment with the West is reached.
