The 23-room mansion was presented to the college by the Eccles family last year. , Despite Atomic 'Invasion' Santa Prefers Reindeer Revolutionizing previous gift-fthat the atomic age has dictated distribution methods, an earth- girdling chain of degravitated space ships will expedite delivery of Christmas packages this year, Santa Claus revealed Thursday during the first press conference ever granted at the North Pole. The ships will be atom-powered and will leave two hours ahead of . Mr. Claus and his assistants. Hovering 100 . miles in the air, they will act as distribution centers for dozens of Christmas assistants who will report for "refills" about three times during Christmas Eve. Each ship will carry several tons of Yuletide presents which will be unloaded during an un-precedentally heavy ,1948 ."business," Mr. Claus said. Answering a barrage of questions thrown at him by curious reporters, Mr. Claus said he intends to "stick to reindeer" again this year, adding that "I'm still distrustful of all these new-fangled atom devices." One reporter asked if children's toys this year would be much different from last. Mr. Claus said toys would be quite divorced in appearance from other years in ub an mi iin iiu uu nil 1111 im im lui styles more than ever. Rather facetious queries such as "Have you ever had trouble getting down chimneys?" and "Do you have trouble eating all. the food children prepare for you?" punctuated the conference. To the first, Mr. Claus answered flatly "No." To the second he offered an off-the-record reply. Delivery this year will begin at 9 p. m. (North Pole Time) ending about 5 a. m. (NPT). For the first time, Mr. Claus revealed how he is able to learn whether children have behaved. "I have special television equipment for each child," he said. "A master control panel enables me to watch any child at any moment I wish. Of course, children can never tell when I am watching, so they'd best be careful every minute lest I pare down the size of their bundle."Reporters, who were whisked to the North Pole by atom-powered space ship, returned the same way after the conference and after enjoying a sumptuous banquet prepared by Mrs .Claus " uu mi luiuuunuu uu mi nil mi mi iiii- MEET SANTA CLAUS HALFWAY!
