GIs in Germany Bring New Christmas Traditions
GIs in Germany change Christmas customs by delivering Santa via Army jeep or helicopter and hosting parties for orphans and refugees. West Germany enjoys a postwar boom as Santa makes two visits with St Nikolaus Day on December 6 and Christmas Eve gifts from Weihnachtmann. Families share church, large dinners, and traditional dishes like goose or carp with a sweet leaf-shaped cake.

Washington reported that the Social Security Administration ruled that workers for the Communist Party and its affiliates are ineligible for federal old age retirement benefits. The SACB findings label the party and affiliates as agencies of a foreign government, prompting deletion of wage credits from records. The case may affect refunds of payroll taxes, though IRS will decide. The Communist Party has appealed to the Supreme Court amid SACB actions against about a dozen alleged fronts.
