Vatican City-Pope F'ius today, in
reply to cardinals Christmas greet
ings, deplored religious persecution
in Germany and defended the church
against accusations of playing po-
litics.'
A semf-official summary of the pom
tiff's remarks said After thanking
the cardinals for their wishes, the
holy father said he wished to add
two precise words of fact and of prin-
ciple. The word of fact consisted of
affirming that real religious persecu-
ton exists in Germany and declaring
that one wished he might say other
wise. The word of principle consisted
of denying the. accusation made a.
gainst the church that it is not doing
it's religious duties but is playing
politics. Against this accusation the
pope protested, solemnly reaffirming
that the church does not play, poll
tics, but promotes religion.
The pope illustrated all of this by
referring both to accusations made
before PLATE against Jesus himself
and to replies the Redeemer made to
those accusations" %

Shepherds engaged in nightly task
Guarding their flocks beneath the mask
OF midnight calm, beheld star
Cleaning in brilliance from affair."
Full of wonder they saw the path
OF silvery light that cleaved swath
Of brightness over darkened hill.
Hopefully they followed until.
They reached stable near an inn
Where two wanderers rested within.
In the manger the Christ child lay.
Whom they worshiped in humble way.

Wide-eyed and wondering a crowd
Of folk gathered round Mary. bowed.
And wise men entered her presence
Bearing gold myrrh and franlsincense.
The luminous star born that night
Gave to the world persistent light.
That each his way might better wend.
Till the approach of his destined end.

 Men Say

Florence Lowe, wno taught school at the old Perseverance school, and in other Alaskan towns shortly after the World War, is now in the heart of the war zone in China. She writes friend from the troubled area, where she is editor of the Yankee Clipper, magazine promoting good will between Americans and foreign CTS there.
 Greetings from Shanghai" writes Miss Lowe. We are in the midst of a real war, with airplanes sailing over us, anti-aircraft guns boom- ing, bombs, shrapnel and what-not dropping over the Foreign settle ment-much to the terror of thou sands of Europeans and Americans living in this area-not to mention the hordes and hordeS of poor Chi nese refugees who are huddled in any available space. These latter, carrying what worldly possessions they could on their backs, have fled from their homes in the Hongkew section of town to the International Settlement for safety.
 Men who have been through the World War say they have never seen anything worse than the two trage- dies occurring here August IA. Bombs exploding in front of the Great World Amusement Resort. corner of Avenue Edward VII and Thibet Road, killed at least 600 and wounded 900. Your friends, the Hon. igsbergs, could be identified only by their teeth as their bodies were too diSmembered.
 "The bombs exploding in Nanking Road between the Cathay and Pal ace Hotels, injured 200 and killed 60-also blew out the front of the Cathay and set fire to the Palace. British and American women and children were being evacuated as speedily as possible. Some of us are staying in Shanghai = imagine we can find plenty of Red Cross work to do'

the communities offered shelter to
Negro victims, and the Mayor told
the press that the most serious houS-
ing shortage at the moment was the
placing of Negroes, thousands of
whom are homeless"
Reports persisted in the city that
the number of dead was far in ex.
cess of the 200 SO far reported by
health authorities. That estimate
does not come near covering the
Negro dead, much less the total
dead, observers insisted. DR.. Hugh
Rodman Leavell, City Health officer,
admitted that there have been a
number of mass burials, with many
bodies-he did not know, how many
buried in hastily dug trenches.
"We have no way of knowing how
many dead we will find when the
waters 60 down." he added.
Negro refugees say that many
were trapped in their homes in the
jim-crow section by the flood waters.
Eight thousand Negro refugees
were evacuated from the city last
Friday. They were sent by trucks
to Shelbyville. At the same time
number of white refugees were sent
by train to the same town. Planes
were also being used to evacuate
white refugees.
Mass evacuation of the Mississippi
Valley is said to be under consider
alton by the Federal Government.
Army engineers have been ordered
to prepare for the evacuation of "a
minimum of 100000 persons" living
within fifty miles of the river on
either side, it was reported.

The Daily News, however, of
which Jimmy Powers is sports edi-
tor seemed to go in for Razzing
Joe and boosting Pastor. Powers
said Pastor won the fight, and the
decision should have gone to him.
He maintained the view, in spite of
the fact that the judges were unani-
nous in their decision. On Sunday,
in a poll of staff members of the
News, Powers still maintained that
Pastor won, while three others of
his co-workers voted for Joe.
JOe's Prestige Suffers
Just how badly scrambled was the
situation did not appear until Sun
day when the experts" got over
their personal reactions in their
columns. Dan Parker, of the Mirror,
and in fact all Hearst sports writer's,
appeared to be for Joe, but admitting
that he did not come up to ex-
pectations on Friday. In the News,
however, Louis was called FLOP"
and long articles about his personal
living since he got "in the money
seemed intended to show that wealth
is slowing him down.
The Times writer, John Kieran,
who called the fight a Pursuit
Race" said; THE Louis, gent is
certainly fast with his hands, but he
seems to have an invisible ball and
chain on each foot. The Shuffler
couldn't even get up double shuttle
for the occasion. The spectators who
didn't enjoy the evening had nothing
on Joe Louis. If he felt as he
looked, he must have been very sad
as he put on his coat and went
home"
