Admiral Sees Red In Stars at San Diego Center
In San Diego the Chamber of Commerce hung red Christmas stars at the civic center to symbolize peace on earth, sparking a bitter dispute. Adm. William H. Standley urged removing the stars, arguing they resembled the red star of Soviet Russia. City officials and a chamber spokesman sparred over whether the stars were painted orange. Standley suggested poinsettias as an alternative. Some local figures and film crew at the coast guard base defended the star motif. Father James O'Shea endorsed Standley's views on red decorations.
