Christmas Across the World Amid War and Peace Efforts
United Press International reports Christmas scenes from West and East Berlin to Manila and Vietnam. West Berliners reunite with relatives in the East, Pope Paul VI pleads for justice and peace, Marcos lifts martial law curfew for one night, and a U.S. officer notes a resumed bombing pause. In Vietnam a flare helicopter marks the day. Nixon extends pauses to aid peace talks. The Salvation Army feeds the homeless, Temples aid police, and Mooseheart children receive a large HO scale train layout donated by Burlington Northern.
