INDECENT READING
 BASIS OF PLEDGES

Pledges to refrain from reading and buying indecent literature were taken by Catholics at masses in lo- cal churches yesterday.
 Written by Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, the pledge was read from the pulpits and repeated by congregations.
 It stated that magazines and other reading matter carrying inde- cent stories and pictures should not be read.

and mothers and wives and sweet- hearts on the home front, in order to keep up fighting morale. The common soldier must be prepared to give the last drop of blood, the com- mon civilian should be prepared to share the last crusti If only victory could be gained the common man was assured that his future peace and security were guaranteed.
 You will remember how in the early twenties one after another Of the governments of the great na- tions dedicated tombs and monu- ments to "the Unkown Soldier" I have seen not c few these memor- ials in various parts of tho world and very impressive they are. But one wonders if the Unknown Soldier sleeps peacefully in his narrow grave as his son marches of to the same front line trenches his father once defended and his daughter and her children look up into the black ened sky at nighti Of this one sad fact are we certain, 1t was an arm istice, not 0 peace. What the world needed, and what the great nations of the world were pledged to give by solemn promise to their people and their people and by the plain implication of international treaty was 8 "Disarmistice Day." The promise to the common soldier and the good will of the common man have been betrayed. It is not diffi- cult to shift responsibility from one nation to another and from one man to another, the pot can call the kettle black, but the end result is still the same, the common man has been betrayedl This is the tra- gedy of Armistice Dayi
 I do firmly believe that our Presi- dent can do no better in this grave hour in modern history than to rededicate the American people to the cause of peace, It isn't q long drawn out and irnmeasurably bloody and destructive war, smashing victory over Hitlerism that Europe needs but immediate overtures and negotiation for peace. You say you cannot make peace with Hitler? David Lawrence says that neither the continuance nor the abdication of Herr Hitler is the real issue but that the main questions are eco- homie. As long as the people of Central Europe have no fair share of economic opportunity, peace in Europe can never be more than an uneasy truce. The chances of a last- ing peace are better now than they will be after three or four years of bloody destruction and death end- ing smashing victory and another punitive and inquitious treaty and why not peace now before Europe makes the second attempt at Cul- tural and economic suicide?

 For the Germans would not add to their enemies the Dutch and Belgians and alienate neutral opinion-simply to cut down their bombing-tim to England by a half hour. They would do 1t only if they thought they could then sweep on through Belgium, through defense- less Luxembourg with its mineral wealth and through the French northern industrial region, and turn the left flank of the strongest part of the Maginot Line.

Then, with French and British reserves drawn north, they might assault that fortress wall frontaily and (or) turn 1t from through the not impossible northern Switzer- land.
 That vast movement would lead to the enveloping and crushing of the French and British armies as the Polish armies were enveloped and crushed-the pet dream of the German General Staff come true and quick end of the war. BELGIUM

 What stands between? The de- lenses of Holland must support the first shock. Largely those defenses are water-although there are some pillboxes. Holland is flooding some sections already and can flood more.

Her army of perhaps 100000 sturdy men are well-equipped with auto- matic weapons but short of heavy artillery and aircraft--and training.
 The Belgian Army is ten times as good as when the Germans came through in 1914. Its defenses have been tremendously strengthened in the southern region facing Ger many, but on parts of the Dutch frontier they are weaker - which would be one German reason for trying Holland as the back door to Belgium and France.
 From wherever the Nazis come, some time they must strike strong Belgian defenses, natural and arti- ficial, held by excellent Belgian troops, reinforced by British and French who already are crowding

TuMBLED-DowN SHACK
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The little shack we had this summer Is looking just like a shack, We drove out there Sunday, Felt we'd love to go back To that shady picturesque spot Close by lovely lake, Where we spent our days this summer And where birds kept us awake Oh those spready shade treesl Every leaf on the trees is gone, And dry and untidy looks Our once green spacious lawn The curving winding road to 1t, The rolling fertile land, You wouldn't give a cent for 1t now Though this summer 1t looked grand, It's just an old tumbleddown shack And far far from pretty So we turned and made quick tracks, Right back to the good old city.

The court kept pressing Emmitt
to say whether he had told Whelar

made.
Emmitt insisted he did not.
He also denied that he ever prom

Emmitt said 1t was a 500 bill he
gave Upperman, not IS and $40 bills
as Upperman testified.
The gambler said, in response to
other questions, that he had been

said. II have talked to him around
the courthouse and in restaurants.

The first time he gave Upperman
money, Emmitt said, the income tax
indictment had not been returned

ment of Justice. Emmitt didn't re-
call exactly how the discussion ot
money started.

said, Il gave him money-never over

Emmitt's nervousness abated to
an extent as he went on and he
gave his testimony clearly. When
the second trial started, Emmitt
said, Upperman told him the jury
would be locked up this time and
asked what was the chance of get

the jurors would be kept.

Emmitt denied that he ever asked
Upperman to influence jurors.
II never thought of that" he
added.
He said he assumed the liquor was
for Upperman's use. Knowing he
was "a marshal" Emmitt said he
did not think Upperman would speak
to the jurors.
