World Marks Christmas Rites Despite Tense International Scene

(By .Tho Canadian Press)

Christmas came to the world again Tuesday. bringing its mess- iige of peace to an earth divided by bitter and bloody struggles.

Hot wars and cold wars cast tlitir ominous shadows on the yeamings of peoples everywhere :i.r the real peace. long-heralded liur. never achieved in the years since the birth of Christ.

Everywhere as Christians celeb- titled in as many different ways as there are nationalities, the hope '.'.ils the same - the hope that brought thcusands of pilgrims streaming into the ancient. crook- eil, little town of Bethlehem Christmas eve - as it did three rvise men long ago.

They filed into Bethlehem for a midnight service performed by Pa- triarch Alberto Gori. resplendent in his gold mitre and ermine and violet robes. in the grotto beneath the church which today marks the spot where Christ was born.

Fewer pilgrims made their way this year to Nazareth, where Jesus now up. because of floods which have crippled the Holy Land in recent weeks.

The strife of the 20th century dimmed the celebration in the Holy Land.

Bethlehem is separated from Jerusalem by a no-man's land. 'illlCl'e there is no shooting but there is no real peace yet in the Palestine war.

And across the world in Korea. the negotiators worked for peace this Christmas Day. But their mouths of debate had not silenced Hie runs that kill. '

However, it was rnildening to hear the voice of a tired and ailing man in contrast irith his clear and ringing voice of rt:-ier years.

Trottier fled and his body was found in a snowbank shortly after. a bullet from his own rifle through his head.

Neither policeman had a chance to fire back at Trottier.

News of the shooting spread like wild fire in this industrial centre. l20 miles northeast of Montreal in the St. Maurice Riv- er region. The dead constable was a family man planning a big celebration at New Year's.

Police said Trottler previously had been arrested on a charge of illegal posses-ion of firearms. They described him as a woods-

Constable and Jean-

years on the force. was known as the children's policeman,

After Lachance reported the shooting by radio. the entire city force was given orders to shoot to kill. It wasn't until five hours af- ter the murder that Trottler's body was found in the snow drift.

Lachancc. a quiet veteran of the force. went to hospital after the shooting. returned to finish his night shift. attended morning Mass and went home to bed with- out even mentioning a word of what had happened. l

But at other Arctic points. such as at Akiavik. at the mouth of ihc Macxenzle River in the Yu- kon, Christmas was s time for fun. frolic and winter sports.

Scattered over some 100.000 square miles. many of the 0.000 Eskimos. dressed in their bright- est costumu, travelled to the trading posts and villages to join with the 300 white persons in the Arctic in religious service and feasting.

But where the turkey. isi the traditional dish in the most civ- ilised areas. the Eskfmols del- icacy at Christmas is seal meat.

No Hope-For Armistice By Dec. 27 Deadline .

By Robert B. Tuolrman

MUNSAN. Korea. Dec. 26 - (Wednesday) - (AP)-The United Nations command demanded Christmas Day that the Commun- ists return to prisoner status thousands of captured South Kor- ean troops who, it charged. 'were forced into the Korean Red army after re-training in Manchurla.

The communists contended they .had "re-educated” and released "many. many prisoners" and that the charge was a "fniseorumor."

It was the first time the Allies charged the Reds with taking U. N. prisoners out of Korea.

Blasts Remaining Hope

The accusation apparently blast- ed what littie hope remzilned that a truce accord could be reached by Thursday when a 30- day trial period for reaching an armistice comes to an end.

Last Nov. 27 the U. N. and Communist delegates drew a cease- fire line across Korea, based on the battle line. They agreed this would be the permanent line if an armistice were signed within 30 days. If not, negoti- ations would continuc and a new ceiise-fire line reflecting any battle gains would he drawn just before an armistice is signed. This role” the threat of renewed heavy fighting.

Talks Continuing

Only the fact that talks were continuing kept alive hope for an eventual halt to fighting which has ravaged this unhappy penin- sula for la months.

Separate sub-committees of the armistice delegations scheduled sessions again at 11 a. in. today (9 p. m. Tuesday. EST) on prisoner exchange and truce supervision.
