| Dear Cal:
Now that the Christmas season
is here, the research personnel
from MIT’s Round Hill Field
Station send holiday greetings to
the people of O’Neill. We remem
ber with pleasure the friendly
atmosphere that made our stay
most enjoyable, as well as very
successful in a technical sense.
Thanks to Jim Peters’ subscrip
tion to The Frontier, we have
been able to keep abreast of
activities in O’Neill. After seeing
the photographs of the snow ac
cumulation in the December 10th
issue, John Luby is reconsider
ing his avowed intention to move
to Nebraska. He will probably
adopt the correct attitude when
summer comes.
Wishing you all a very merry
Christmas and happy new year,

Butler Explains
Reds-in-Govemment
__ U. S. Sen. Hugh Butler (R.
Netor.) stated he has received for
some weeks past several letters
from Nebraskans, asking ‘ Why
persons who refused to testify
about communist party affilia
I tions should be continued in em
ployment by the federal govern
j ment.”
Butler pointed out that several
months ago President Eisenhower
issued a ruling, in effect, that
any federal employee who in
voked constitutional protection
to avoid testifying about com
munist affiliations would be im
mediately discharged from feder
al employment. Eisenhower stated
that working for the federal gov
ernment is a privilege and not a
: right.
Senator Butler said, “In all de
partments and agencies of the
government, security cases hand
led by previous administrations
are being reexamined by Eisen
hower appointees. Many hun
dreds of employees have been
dismissed under this program of
reexamination, and dismissals
will continue wherever the
slightest doubt exists about the
loyalty of any federal employee
to the United States.” Butler
stated that this is a very rigid
policy which will resolve all
doubts in favor of the federal
government.

Santa Sees 1,099
Kids in Visit Here
Or Santa came to town Satur
day by jet plane, traveling a wee
bit light.
There was only one sack of
goodies leftover after he had
talked with 1,099 small fry from
these parts. His helpers had one
single sack leftover after
hordes of kids had filed past
the long counters in the O’Neill
public school. Santa attempted
to talk with as many of his star
ry-eyed admirers as possible.
The whole thing was arranged
by the Chamber of Commerce.
John R. Gallagher, chairman
of the Chamber’s reception com
mittee, declared after the party:
“If the number of small fry
visiting Santa during his annual
visits continues to increase, it’s
possible an extra airplane will
have to be put into service from
the North Pole to O’Neill.”
Gallagher said Santa would
have felt “miserable” if the sup
ply of goodies hadn’t gone
around.
