Thee, on these American states,

desiring henceforth to be depend

have appealed for the righteous

now look up for that countenance
and support which Thou alone

Heavenly Father, under Thy nur-

council and valor in the field; de-
feat the malicious designs of our
cruel adversaries; convince them
of the unrighteousness OF their
cause; and if they persist in their
sanguinary purpose, o, let the

them to drop the weapons of war

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The biggest Nazi propaganda story of all broke in Washington when George Sylves- ter Viereck was indicted several days ago on five counts and described as being the "top-ranking German propagandist in the world
 Justice Department officials gave credit in part for this indictment to the Washington Merry-Go- Round which exactly one year ago first broke the story of how Viereck was ghost writing speeches for the late Senator Lundeen. Immediately after they wrote that story Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen were denounced on the floor of the Senate by Sem ators Wheeler and Bennett Clark, and $5.O00 was appropriated to in- vestigate them.
 Despite continuing attacks, how ever, they continued to expose the activities of Viereck and the manner in which he was able to use Con- gressmen to insert speeches in the Congressional Record and distribute them free from the Congressional franking privilege.
 Last June they were the first to report the fact that Congressman Day, of Illinois, had published a book through Flanders Hall, a pub fishing house financed by Viereck. They also told how Day had deliv- cred radio speech under the aus pices of viereck and his Washington representative, Prescott Denpett, all of which was cited in the indict- ments against Viereck.

In the face of Germany's claims that her Russian sweep has been carried to within 100 miles of Mos COW on the west and south. Russian dispatches from the blood -bathed front today declared one German thrust has been slowed down and that the Red Army has launched counter-a attacks at several points.

 It was added that it is quite pos sible the German drive might have been stopped TO or 80 miles short of Moscow.

WASHINGTON-A never-ending source of bewilderment about the Roosevelt Administration is the pas sionate zeal with which its master minds seem to love to pull in op- posite directions. One will go one way and another exactly the op- posite.
 Instances of this peculiar phen- omenon are innumerable. Only a few days ago this column revealed a bitter undercover tangle between Secretary Harold Ickes and his Cabinet colleague Jesse Jones over a power issue.
 But this isn't the only opposite poles row that is churning the atmosphere behind the scenes.
 Another, even more heated and far more important, is raging between OPM Associate Director Sidney Hill- man and trust-busting Assistant At torney General Thurman Arnold over vital question of defense labor policy.
 One of the key problems of de- fense production is labor peace. Most of Hillman's time and effort, as OPM labor chief, are devoted to this question. After months of negotia- tion a labor stabilization agreement was worked out with the powerful AFL building trades unions covering all government building projects.
 The accord was a signal achieve ment. All last winter and spring the Army and Navy were plagued by costly and obstructive construction strikes. But the stabilization agree ment ended that. assuring uninter- rupted work on scores of urgently needed camps, buildings and plants.
 But this hard-won peace seems destined to be short -lived-if Thur man Arnold has his way.
 Acting on complaint from Denny Lewis. brother of John L., who in- stalled him as head of the United Constructor Workers, Arnold is threatening to smash the stabiliza- : tion accord on the ground of unfair trade practice.
