THEY slept in the stable: Joseph, Mary and the
Christ Child. And the angel of the Lord came
again to Joseph.
“Arise," he said, “and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I
bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him.”
And Joseph, a simple man of uncommon faith, arose
and did as he was told.
Joseph had encountered the angel before, six months
earlier as he tossed in tormented slumber after learn-
ing that beloved Mary, his espoused, was with child.
“Joseph, thou son of David,” the angel had told him.
“fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. ..”
And Joseph had done as he was told.
NOW, almost two weeks had passed since Joseph and
1 Mary had arrived in Bethlehem tobe taxed, since
that wondrous night when the child was born, and the
heavens had opened above the shepherds’ flocks for
the angelic proclamation:
“Unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. . ."
Wonder upon wonder—the Messianic prophecies of
the ancient Simeon and aged Anna in the temple at
Jerusalem on the child's eighth day, and only this night

King Herod had heard. He ordered the infant found
and slain, and failing this he instructed his soldiers to
put to death every boy baby in Bethlehem.
Lulled by the rhythmic gait of the donkey, the child
slept in his mother’s arms as Joseph led the animal
through the night away from Bethlehem. In the city

By RICHARD VALERIANI
HAVANA (AP)—Prime Minister
Fidel Castro again unleashed his
wrath on the Roman Catholic
Church Saturday with an accusa-
tion that "some priests" in Cuba
encourage the murder of govern-
ment officials.
He also promised to purge
Cuba’s judicial system, criticizing
it for failng to adapt to the revo-
lution. He thundered that he will
throw out bad judges
The bearded prime minister
poured out his fury in a 314-hour
oration at a labor rally held after
midnight He ordered a big mili-
tary parade held Jan. 2.
Manuel Cardinal Areteaga, in-
firm and semiretired at 81, was
called a Judas. The aged cardinal
heads the church hierarchy in
Cuba, which privately has vowed
not to bend before the regime.
Castro said the cardinal went to
the presidential palace during the
old regime of Fulgencio Batista
"to exchange the kiss of Judas
with the bloody dictator."
He said some priests "have
reached really daring extremes in
their counterrevolutionary activi-
tes: encouraging terrorism, en-
couraging crime, encouraging
even assasination of officials of
the revolutionary government, en-
couraging the criminal hands of
blood-thirsty henchmen."
Castro indicated he would like
to avoid conflicts with the church,
saving “we hope they will recon-
sider as they become aware they
are making a mistake."
He ridiculed a recent open letter
from the Catholic bishops of Cuba,
the most outspoken critics of Com-
munist influence in the country.
The letter protested the spread of
Communist ideology and detailed
a long list of grievances, includ-
ing the detention of priests.

A U.S. Air Force transport

full of shoppers. Police esti-

college students, the seven-mem-
ber crew of the two-engine Con-
vair and an American civilian
pasenger perished when the
plane sheered off a church steeple
and plummeted into a loaded
streetcar.
The students, who attended the
University of Maryland's junior
college in Munich, ranged in age
from 16 to 21 years old. Laughing
and joking, they had taken off
only minutes before from Munich-
Riem Airport to join their service
families in England for the hol-
day vacation.
HUGE FLAMES
Police estimated at least 35 per-
sons either aboard the streetcar
or passing by died when the giant
plane engulfed the trolley with
flames 150 feet high.
The death toll may not be known
for days. "The bodies are nothing
but charred pieces, making it an
almost impossible task to identify
them," said a police official.
Mayor Hands Jochen Vogel said
only two bodies of German vic-
tims had been identified late Sat-
urday night, although 31 charred
bodies have been recovered from
amid the wreckage of the plane
and streetcar.
Police, firemen and U. S. and
German army units still were
working to extinguish smouldering
fires and clean up the wreckage.
END OF WORLD
A 24 year-old German girl who
suffered severe burns told doctors
the sea of flame from the plane
and a broken gas main swept
over busy Bayerstrase "like the
end of the world."
At least 16 persons were known
to be in the hospital with severe
injuries. Several were in critical
condition. They included motor-
ists dragged from blazing auto-
mobiles drenched with gasoline.
Many others were treated for mi-
nor injuries.
"There are so many arms, legs
and bodies still lying about it is
impossible to say how many were
killed," a police official said.

The plane, with the exception
of a wing and the tail, was de-
stroyed. Police said that soon aft-
