Christians put away the cares

and gathered for joyful celebra- tions of the message of eternal peace proclaimed in Bethlehem

1966 years ago.

Millions in many nations

Saturday wrapped the last gifts,

put the final trimmings on the tree and planned to spead

Christmas Eve with their fami-

lies or at midnight religious services.

Pope Paul VI hoped for a

"miracle of good will'' to end the war . Prime Minister Lester

Pearson of Canada said each

person could contribute to peace "through the exercise of love and understanding."

Million- traveled to resell

relatives and friends in time for the holiday. In the

United States; airlines and rail-

roads were crowded and the crippling effects of the winter's first big snowstorm were felt from Oklahoma to the East

Coast just as the Christmas

rush hit the highways.

For Americans unable to

travel, there was the telephone.

The .Few York Telephone Co.

said the nationwide Bell System expected 6.6 million long-dis- tance holidays calls.

Thousands of pilgrims, many

of thero Arab Christians who may visit relatives in Jordan only .at this time of year, crossed the armistice line from

Israel to pray in the Church of

the Nativity in Bethlehem and sing carols in a nearby field where tradition says angels ap- peared to shepherds at the first

Christmas

. Atop the massive, 4th- _e__ tury chilrch was a neon sip:'-Merry Christmas."

In V. est Berlin, hundreds of

thousands faced a Christmas without visiting relatives in

East Berlin for the first tinte

since 1962. TheTWest Berlin gov- enunent refused East Germany the recognition as a state it de- manded in return for passes through the Berlin Wall, "The

Communists have closed the

narrow gate to humaneness,"

Mayor Heinrich Albertz said.

President Johnson flew to

San .Antonio, Tex., to greet

sick and wounded servicemen flown back from Vietnam, then joined other Johnsons at the LB J

Ranch near Johnson City and

opened gifts Christmas Eve. In

London, Queen Elizabeth II left

Buckingham Palace to spend

the holiday with her family at

Windsor Castle.

At McGuire Air

Force Base In

New Jersey, hundreds of serv-

icemen began a long journey as replacements for troops in

Vietnam. Many would arrive in

time to join their units for

Christmas dinner.

"Sure, there's a definite lack of Christmas spirit here," one soldier said. "But I'd just as soon go before Christmas and get it over with."

Francis Ordinal Spellman,

77-year-old archbishop of New

York and Roman CathoEc Mili-

tary Vicar of the armed forces, was in Vietnam for religious services along with evangelist

Billy Graham.

Spellman celebrated Mass on

a wooden stage covered with a jungle parachute in a muddy clearing at 2nd Field Forces headquarters 20 miles north of

Saigon. Soldiers sat on sandbag

pews.

In Florence, Italy, where

Pope Paul celebrated mid-

night Mass in sympathy for the victims of last month's dev- astating floods, downtown hotels were open and large stores were stocked with Christmas goods,

But 3,000 families had not re-

turned to their ruined homes and 2,000 other families were living in unhealed temporary quarters.

In a court In Reading, Eng-

land, Kenneth Eacott called the name of his dog, "Teddy," and won the terrier back when it happily wagged its tail. The dog ran off las August and a wom- an Jn a nearby town claimed ownership. '"We're going to give him. a big bubble bath and a big bone and he's going to have the best Christmas a dog ever had,"

Eacott said.
