Lutheran Ministers
Deny NiemoeI|er
Has Turned Catholic
Imprisoned Pastor Held
Seeking Common Ground
For European Worship

The Rev. Martin Niemoeller, i'm
priSoned German Lutheran pastor,
| is hard at work in his prison cell
attempting to find common ground
on which the peoples of Europe can
worship. it was reported yesterday
at a meeting of Washington Lu-
theran ministers.
This was brought out by two min
listers who denied there was even
a remote possibility" the former
World War submarine commander
might have accepted tie Roman
Catholic faith, as reports from Ber-
lin last week indicated.
One authority quoted by the two,
DR.. Gerhard E LenSki of the Grace
Lutheran Church and DR.. j. Harold
Mumper of the Keller Memorial Lu
theran Church. was DR.. Adolph
Keller of Geneva, general secretary
of the European Central Office of
! Interchurch Aid, who was in Wash
ington last week after flying back
from Germany.
Spoke With His Wife.
DR.. Mumper said DR.. Keller re-
ported he had spoken in Berlin with
Mr.. Niemoeller's wife and she as
Sured him that her husband had no
intention either of renouncing his
Lutheran faith or accepting Nazi
demands that he cease preaching.
When Mr.. Niemoeller first was
imprisoned DR. Keller visited him
IN his cell, DR. Mumper reported,
and upon request, obtained for him
a prayer book of the Anglican
Church. At that time. according
to the report. the German minister,
now in the Sachsenhausen conCen-
tratiOn camp, said that he wanted
to find a common catholic" faith
for the harasSed peoples of Europe
The confusion has obviously
arisen DR.. Mumper said, "over the
word catholic. The Rev. Mr.. Me
moeller meant it only in its broad
sense, covering all religions-but if
any religions were to be excluded in
the scheme it would most likely be
the Roman Catholic faith"
Says Reports Are Confirmed.
DR.. LenSki declared that other
reports coming to high Lutheran
quarters in this country have con-
frmed the fact that Mr. Niemoeller
is working for universal religion.
Following the meeting of the min
listers, luncheon was given by the
Lutheran Crusaders Of America in
the Hamilton Hotel.
The Rev. Dr. Ralph H. Long, eX-
ecutive director of the National Lu-
theran Council and secretary and
American treasurer of the Executive
Committee of the Lutheran World
Convention, spoke to the ministers
and laymen at the luncheon on the
need of unity.
IF the Lutheran Church does not
get closer together in this emer-
gency." he warned. we will prob
ably drift farther apart In the
latter case I would fear for the
future of our church" o"
He said that unity is possible
even with existing differences of
doctrine, and added that he de
spised" the idea in general that
seems to have gone abroad today
that there is only one point of view,
and that any one is un-American
who does not agree"
Martin A. McGrory. executive d.
rector of the Crusaders. who pre-
sided, said he hoped monthly lunch
cons would be held.

TIPS to
GARDENS OF QUALITY

THERE have been changes in
= recent years in garden prac-
tees that are worth reporting.
Gardeners formerly allowed vege-
tables to grow as large as possible.
This procedure gave a higher
yield in pounds, but very often it
lowered the quality of vegetables.
Some Vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal
atable; but carrots, cucumbers,
beets, summer squash, turnips,
radishes, and others are more ten
der and tasty when not much
more than half grown.
Gardeners are finding that it is
wise to plant oftener than once or
twice year, to maintain regu-
lar supply of proper-sized vege-
tables. Gardens prove more en-
joyable, and more profitable when
successive paintings of favorite
crops are made every two or three
weeks, providing garden-fresh
vegetables for the table over a
long season.
1t is also true that few garden
ers today save flower seeds. Fine
flowers growing in the home gar
den often are cross-pollinated by
others of the same species, max
ing flowers grown from their seed
inferior, and untrue.

Not So Dusty, but
oh, What an, E1cauationi

Little Willie had been set to en-
terrain a portly visitor, who, hav-
ing no inquisitive children of his
own, had answered all his ques-
tons with unusual patience.
"And what" was Willie's 198th
question, "are houses made off"
Houses" replied the stout
man, "are made of bricks"
"And what are engines made off"
Engines are made of iron"
"And what is bread made off,"
"Flour."
Then, as the anticipated light
step and soft rustic of Willie's sis
ter sounded outside, he added,
''Now, Willie, l can answer only
one more question.
Willie decided that it should be
a good one.
After a pause, Willie asked:
''Well, what are we made OFF,"
"Dust and earth, my son."
"My," said Willie, "they must
have made a whacking big hole
when they took you out!"

NAZI PROPAGANDA GOES ON
UNCHECKED IN u. S.

NAH PROPAGANDA GOES ON
UNCHECKED IN u. S.
ALL AMERICANS, from the Pres
ident down to the least of us, con-
denim Hitler and Naziism. We want
none of Hitler or his kind, or his
theology. We send men to prison
for spreading the Nazi doctrines,
and yet each week we are counte-
nancing the spread of this thing we
abhor
The German Library of Informa-
ton, undoubtedly financed by Ger
many in the interests of Hitler's
Germany and all it represents, sends
broadcast over America the most
subtle kind of Nazi propaganda. Mil
lions of copies of its weekly publica-
ton, Facts in Review" are circu-
lated in this country. The Amer
lean postal system is used to dis
tribute this publication. 1t boldly an
nounces that copies may be obtained
upon request and without charge.
You find them in hotels, auto camps,
in our training camps, and in all
possible places where they will be
seen and read, and your name, once
on the mailing list, means receiving
a new copy each week.
geographically it is an attractive
publication, well printed, beautifully
illustrated. Each word in the text
of its A pages is a eulogy of Hitler,
his henchmen and Naziism. Its pur-
pose is to convince American people
that Hitler is working for the best
interests of the world, that he is a
world savior, that England would de-
stroy world civilization if that coun-
try itself is not destroyed. While
smooth, it is not even cleverly
yelled.
With it each week are offered
many other publications, any or all
of which may be had for the asking.
Why, wonder, is such an effort to
break down American democracy
permitted to operate?
Certainly it is known. Any officer
of the government, any member of
congress, as well as any citizen,
may have copies of the publication,
as many as he wishes, by merely
asking for them. They will be sent
through the American postal system
for the purpose of convincing Amer
leans that the German system Of
Hitler will prevail and that it is
best for the world that it should.
To permit circulation of this prop
uganda to continue is hardly con-
sistent with our American policy. 1t
is the kind of thing that will lead
to sabotage in American armament
plants. 1t will appeal to the fanatic
and the subversive elements.

Land of Big Feet

Patagonia is little-known re-
gion with a familiar name. The
so-called Patagonian area consti-
tutes the tail of the South Ameri-
can continent. Long contested be-
tween Chile and Argentina, this
area was finally divided between
those countries in 1881. The Argen-
tine section lies east of the Andes,
south of the central plains. 1t in
cludes the three continental ter
ritories of Rio Negro, Chubut, and
Santa Cruz, and is some 259, 1000
square miles in area. d
According to some authorities,
the name Patagonia, which means
"Land of the Big Feet" was given
the area by early explorers who
were amazed at the size of foot
prints (of aboriginal Indians)
found there.

4 \ was taken TO call upon
young man named Curtis. He
was stone blind; had been born
blind. He did a great many
things, played the piano, read
Braille, wrote poetry, modelled
in clay and had for his pets two
kittens and about fifty spiders.
I suppose it was this last in
credible detail that fixed him
and his philosophy so firmly in
a seven-year-old's memory. I
was left in his care while the
grown-ups went off on some err
rand, and sat petrified, a kitten
in my lap, my eyes following
Curtis with fascinated horror as
he took down one small card
board box after another and
showed me its hairy swarming
occupant.
Child-like, I asked him frankly if
it wasn't very trying to be without
sight, and his answer comes back
to me across more than half a CEN
fury.
''Not at al" he said. 81 live with
my blindness, not against it."
A Commonsense Greed.
A thousand times since, when cir
cumstances have come into my own
life that have made it completely
uncomfortable for a time, I have re-
membered Curtis. His simple little
creed has been passed on to hun
dreds of other lives. 1t is plain
commonsense not to fight your trou-
BILE; grief, handicap, loss: not to
pretend it isn't there or fling your
self screaming on the floor sobbing
that you can't bear it. 1t is wis
dom to rise to the height when you
can live with it, and see how much
easier that makes it to face.
One of the greatest American
women who ever lived started a ma
tion-wide peace movement 20 years
ago. Thousands of us who were
younger women saw through her
eyes a vision of world peace; we
knew it might be made real; we
knew that all the nations could live
in peace with their neighbors as
America has for so many years.
For 20 years some of us have been
going about talking peace. Begging
that the unjust decisions and parti-
tions that followed the last war
might be gradually mitigated by the
European powers, that they might
come to see that friendliness is the
invincible weapon and that only
good, and not more bad, can over
come evil in the end.
But we were not strong enough;
perhaps we were not wise enough;
we women do not even now, after 20
years as citizens, know our own
power. And so war has come again,
and America must lay down her own
true weapons of reason and neigh
borliness and understanding, and en-
ter into the hideous competition of
guns and bombs. War silences
women.
Must Begin Work Anew.
We will outlive this war, and when
peace comes again we will begin
our work again. And after many
years and many wars there will be
peace. Meanwhile we have to live
with war again, and it is for every
one of us to live without fear and
without hate, to pray that the days
of battle and sacrifice may be brief,
and to work toward the coming of a
better day. To see, when the war is
over, that no nation is cruelty treat
ed, no terms are unfair, that arm
istice promises are kept. For 20 long

ROAD TO ALASKA
FEASIBLE, SAYS SLIM

IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE serious consideration is
being given in Washington to the
subject of constructing a highway
from the American line through Brit
ish Columbia to Alaska. The de-
tense purpose is for the moving of
an army, mechanical or other,
should we find it necessary to de-
fend Alaska. The proposition is for
the United States to provide the
funds and Canada to provide the
right of way and patrol it after the
highway is completed.
Long, lean, weather-beaten "Slim"
Williams, an old Alaskan sour
dough, has agitated such highway
for several years. In the winter of
1892, "Slim" drove a dog team
from Alaska to Washington as his
first demonstration of the feasibility
of his dream. In the summer of
1889, starting from Fa rbanks in
May, he made the trip through to
Vancouver on motorcycle, at least
both "Slim" and the motorcycle
came through but whether he car
ried the motorcycle more miles than
it carried him, I am not sure. He
insists he has proved that a high
way to Alaska is practical.
There is today, and has been for
many years, the beginning of such a
highway. It is from Vancouver, fol-
lowing generally the course of the
Fraser river, to Prince George, a
distance of something like 500 miles.
1t was constructed in the gold rush
days as a means of getting miners
in, and ore out of the then thriving
gold mining area around Prince
George. 1t was, and is, passable
for pack animals, but not wide
enough for automobiles. Beyond
Prince George, and as far north as
Hazelton, is trail followed by In
dams and trappers. Beyond Hazel
ton are the unconquered Rocky
mountains of British Columbia and
Alaska. But "Slim" Williams says
they can be conquered.
