Hundreds of millions of persons around the world heard the Queen speak from thestudy oi Bandung- ham House-the same room from which her father George VI and grandfather George V addressed the Commonwealth on previous Chriltmetdsvtr ,

Tlie” :Quee'nls speech Eves i the main feature of a Christmas broad- cast which atarted about 2 PM (0 AM.) and lasted several hours in which the BBB brought in greet- ings from the various parts of the Commonwealth. The program was

opened by a tator flying in a jet Comet airliner eight miles over Britain.

Thrilling To Many

The speech was especially thril- ling for the young monarch's lis- tening subjects. who hope the 26- year-oid "Queen Bess" will lead them out of a time of anxiety into a new and greater Elizabethian age

As if feeling this, the Queen evoked images of Raleigh and Drake and the other adventurous sea captains who roamed the seas building an Empire for young Brit ain many years ago.

"Above all." she said, "we must keep alive that courageous spirit of adventure that is the iinesi: quality of youth: and by youth I do not Just mean those who are young in years, I mean. too, all those who are young in heart. no matter how old they may be."

"That spirit still flourishes it. this old country and in all the younger countries oi our Common- wealth.

"On this broad foundation let us set out to build a truer knowledge oi ourselves and our fellow men, to work for tolerance and under- standing umong the nations and to use the tremendous forces oi sci- ence and learning ior the better- ment oi man's loi. upon this earth."

Wrote In Longhand

The Queen sat alone in the study as she delivered the speech, which she wrote herself in longhand.

Listening in on a radio in an ad- joining room were those who epitomized for Britons the glory of the put and the hope of the future--86-year-old Queen Mary, Queen Mother Elizabeth. the Duke 'oi Edinburgh, four-year-old Prince

OTTAWA. Dec. 25 -(CF) - Eskimo and white joined today to make Christmas bright and cheer- ful at tiny settlements dotting the broad expanse around the Arctic Circle.

Church missions and remote radio stations were the centre of celebrations in communities rang- ing from Port Harrison and Great Whale River on the Quebec side of Hudson Bay to Chesterfield Inlet on the Northwestvdierrftorles side?

At Port Harrison, 500 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the 14 whites gathered at the Department of Transport radio station where the

Eskimos built a small village oi snow houses for the Christmas celebrations. Men-from the Hud-

son's Bay Company trading post sponsored games and races among the Eskimos and whites, topping off the fun with a bean feast. The R..C.M.P. detachment added a real Christmas touch by hauling a Christmas tree 200 miles north from Richmond Gulf. The tree. at Port Harrison since September. was the focal point oi the Christmas party. The little Anglican church overflowed with Eskimos dressed in their colorful best and the whites for evening services.

Mild Weather

At Great Whale River, about 800 miles north oi Montreal, an un- aeasonal mild spell kept many Eskimos away for the Christmas celebrations. River waters were open and sledding poor.

Locked Control Gear Cause Of Air Disaster

ed in neutral position.

The ship never gained altitude in the normal manner, and seem- ed in go into a glide before the crash. The plane, landed with hltchhlklng servicemen headed home for Christmas. smashed into the ground just off the runway.

There was no effort in the rc- port as released ni army head- quarters to say who failed in rc- leaso the control surfaces. Every member of the l0-man crew is dead.

The controls normally are lock- ed when the plane is on the ground. The purpose of the lock- ing device is to prevent wind cur- rents from slamming the movable portions of the wing and tail sur- faces back and forth.

The investigating board made this report to headquarters:

"The C-124 has one mechanical control handle which locks four separate con'trols - the throttles, elevators, ailerons and rudder-- when the plane is parked on the ground. All these controls are un- locked by the control handle through its complete travel area.

"Indications are that in this case the coniml handle was mov-

ed partly but not completely through its full travel before the takeoff and. as a result, the

throttle was unlocked. permitting power to be applied. while aur- lace control locks remained in .1 locked position. The investigation established that the elevator and rudder control surfaces wars in the locked position prior to im- pact. . .

"The Air Force's Air Research and Development Command has been directed to work on further development of a method to pre- vent the throttles being unlocked unless the surface controls have
