WITH THE I'd ARMY IN LOU
1SIANA, Sept. 8.-The Army's new
est and biggest tank, the Ms got
its first trial in maneuvers today as
the mightiest striking force of the
1st Armored Division.
AS one of three newsmen allowed
to participate in the first field test
of the 30-ton steel juggernaut, rode
the gunner's cradle inside one of
them. I swayed easily in a rocking
motion as we travelled 25 miles an
hour over sandy roadways and
through pine forests. With hardly
a jolt we jumped bitches and
smashed through 10-inch trees.
Secrets Withheld.
Many secrets were pointed out
with request that they not be
described. I had ridden both the
other types of tanks used by the
Army-the 14-ton light and the 18-
ton medium tanks-but they lacked
many things / found in the M-3.
The tank I rode was one of 13 in
the LIST Armored Division which
came off the production line less
than three weeks ago. Others will
arrive almost daily during the ma
neuvers.
AS I squeezed through a narrow
portfolio into my seat. I found be-
side me a 37-mm. gun and a 30
caliber machine gun, which 1 could
aim and fire automatically, using
complicated levers. switches and
buttons to manipulate the revolving
turret.

British Churchgcers
Pray for Victory
OF Russian Arms
English Archbishop and

In Appeal for Soviets

LONDON, Sept. 8.-In churches
which many times in the past rang
with denunciations of all things
Communistic, millions of Britons
prayed yesterday for a victory of
Russian as well as British arms.
A day of prayer, requested by the
King, coincided with the first anni-
versary of the beginning of the great
air assault on London. One year
ago $50 warplanes swooped down on
this capital and flames leaped from
bombed docks and buildings
No bombs disturbed London's
churchgoers yesterday, but else
where there were grim reminders
that the air war was not ended.
Worshippers in one Southwest Eng
land town found their chapel
shattered by an overnight raid.
Prayers for Russians Asked.
The Archbishop of Canterbury in
broadcast services appealed to
Britons to devote their prayers
especially to the Russian armies.
He asserted the war had become a
conflict between wholly opposite
concepts Of man-the one as a child
OF God, the other as a creature of
the state-in which there could be
no compromise, indeed no neu-
trality."
Arthur Cardinal Hinsley said in
a broadcast that Poland had made
a pact with the Soviet in order tn
dellver her sons and daughters
from slavery more awful than
death"
he added, Russia or Russia's
government we know to have been
guilty of great wronis to others and
Poland. also. But a people whose
rulers have done wrongs does not
forfeit all its own rights. We urav
that defense of Russia's rights NAV
help repair Poland's unmerited
wrongs"
The cardinal said, "our Prime
Minister and Mr.. Roosevelt have
stated grand aims of victorious
peace-freedom from want and
freedom from fear. This
war. we believe, was forced upon us
as the necessary, the sole means of
securing lasting peace. Never
again must peace be preparation for
war"
Chance to Win Over Russia.
The Bishop of Portsmouth in a
pastoral letter suggested the war
as an opportunity to win Russia
for Christendom.
"As Russia, under God. has given
Great Britain welcome relief in her
hour of Distress" so ''let us pay our
debt by giving back to Russia
reliance upon God" he said.

Swayze Appointment Popular One

Appointment of Tom Swayze, city controller,
TO the post of state director of licenses by Gov.
Arthur B. Langie is not only compliment to the
popular city official but one to the city of Tacoma
as WELL The city's loss will be the states gain.
The appointment is we'll deserved recognition of
the service of Tacoma and Pierce county republic
cans who did so much to assure the election of the
states chief executive.
Tacomans have no hesitaney in expressing their
belief that the newly appointed official will make
good in this most important state post Swayze
has been accustomed to responsibility, not only as
a public servant but as private citizen as we'll
His elections to the post of controller were not po-
litica accidents On the contrary they were on the
whole, public attestation of the regard which the
voters held for an efficient executive. The well
wishes of thousands of Tacoma voters well as
the exclusive circle of more intimate friends, serv
ice club members and church associates will go
with Swayze when he assumes his new post Oct l.
An outstanding promotion for Swayze, recogni-
ton of Pierce county by the state administration,
the appointment nevertheless is one that has wide
appeal in that it is based on character, merit and
experience. Political considerations in this case
are but incidental.
