Mil rM ThleTr uth WASHINGTON ) - Yes, there is a Santa Claus, and all that sort of stuff, but you can get one childish delusion out of your spinning little head right now: Rudolph the Red-nosed Rein- deer is a fake. Reindeer are not red-nosed, but are mean, nasty, temper- mental, delicate, warlike beasts who would as soon gore you as look at you, and in fact, rather. Fourteen of these unchrist- maslike creatures came into the Washington Zoo and nobody had a good word to say about them, not even a man who came over from the White House to say welcome aboard.

They are more interested in assuming their responsibilities in life, he added. Remembering back through his years with the speech department, Prof. Densmore noted that em- phasis was largely placed on elo- cution.
