Safecracker Uses Shops
Tools TO Rob II OF $4,000

A safe cracker, using the shops
own tools, took an estimated $4,000
in cash and checks early today from
the Kearney Oldsmobile Co., New

sides this, 81 ,060 in bills and between
5000 and $500 in petty cash are

lights, police theorized, went to the
Second-f1oor shop, returned to the
first floor with a hammer and chisel
and rolled the small safe about 20
feet from the off1ce to the open door.
There he knocked of the combi-
nation and escaped with the money.
The time of the burglary was set
by Mr.. Kearney at between mid
night and am, since two statesmen
passed by the Office at those two
hours. The first. Albert Browdy
saw the lights were on. The second,
Robert Tigers, observed that they
were out. The theft was not dis
covered. however, until another en-
ploye, Mangus Rankin, opened the
building at tbs am.
Tools were left behind. and police
wre checking them. as well as the
safe, for fingerprints.
Mr. Kearney said the stolen funds
represented receipts since 2 pm
yesterday.
A new safe had been ordered for
delivery week ago, he said, but it
had not arrived because the safe
company's truck driver was Ill. 1t
will be delivered tonight.

1t is argued that the Importance

the bombings, is not comparable
with other objectives which could be
reached but which have barely been
touched.

F. B. |. Credits Lack
OF Sabotage 10 Boost
In Federal Agents
Hoover Aid Addresses
Sociological Conference
At George Washington

There has not been a single
instance of sabotage within an in
dustrial plant attributable to a
foreign agent since the war began,
an F. B. I. man last night told a
sociological conference at George
Washington University.
Robert j. Hendon, administrative
assistant to Director J. Edgar
Hoover, explained to the group that
this was because of the doubling of
the F. B. I. force since the war
and its preventative efforts of
teaching manufacturers proper
methods of safeguarding their
plants.
Discussing the relationship of war
to the family, DR.. Percy A. Robert of
Catholic University said about the
only good result of war, if any. was
the advancement of women. This,
he indicated, usually followed their
assistance in war crises.
Women are already in the defense
movement, according to Mary E.
Pidgeon of the Labor Department.
Women's Bureau. Some, she said,
are engaged in making gas masks.
About $500 are even working in
steel mills as tin and steel inspec-
tors. Others are working in electri-
cal and similar fields.
Proposals of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to eliminate such non
defense agencies as N. Y. A. and
C. C. C. to reduce the tax burden
were criticised by Howard Bell of
the American Youth Commission.
He said this country was behind in
preparing a program of pushing the
good points of democracy TO the
people.
Dr. Bruce Melvin, president of
the District chapter of the Ameri-
can Sociological Society, deplored
the waste of natural resources
caused by wars. Edward Butler,
president of the Lester T. Ward
Society, presided.
The session, part Of celebration
in honor of Ward-sometimes called
the American Aristotle-will be
followed tonight at 7:30 o'clock with
banquet at the Grafton Hotel at
which biographer of Ward will
speak.

Brewer said the major informed
the guards that 'he would deal with
me" at 9 o'clock. Just before that
hour two Serb newspaper reporters
arrived on the scene. Brewer dis
covered that he and one of them
had mutual friends, but the major
had the Serb newsman arrested and
put under guard when he sought to
intervene for Brewer.
"a third colleague who came to
rescue him was not only an editor
but also a colonel in the army re-
serve and friend of the major"
Brewer continued. Accepting his
judgment, the major turned me
loose"
Terror had done a thorough job
in Belgrade" the correspondent
commented.
Brewer reported that at least half
of the capitals buildings were de-
stroyed and that the death toll prob
ably reached 1000.

Propaganda Broadcast.
The severance of communications
between conquered Holland and the
Netherlands Indies is about as COM
plete as it could be. News is scanty
and indirect. 1t is astonishing how
few Of the people of Holland have
been able to escape the Nazi net.
Not more than 500 Dutch refugees
have arrived here from Europe since
the invasion. The authorities are
extremely nervous over the pos
sibility Of fifth columnists slipping
into the country in the guise of
refugees. So all Dutch folk arriving
from Europe, except those with IRON
clad credentials, are segregated on
an island here until their records
have been minutely investigated.
Once in the Indies, the Dutch
refugees are cared for by the gov
ernment until jobs can be found
for them This is no simple matter,
for the Dutch lay much store by the
legend of white superiority and seek
at all times to maintain their face"
with the natives. This precludes
them from giving too menial job
to any Dutchman. Some of the i'm
poverished refugees have found
places in the army, others in gov
ernment posts, still others in the
Offices of Dutch firms.
Na1 efforts to put pressure on
the Dutch here through broadcasts
from Holland have been only half
hearted and seem to have had lit
tie effect. Occasional broadcasts
from Nazified Holland can be picked
up through the interference. In
some cases, Dutch voices in Holland
have told listeners here that it would
90 easier for the home country if
Germans interned in the Indies were
released. But nobody seems to take
these yelled warnings very seriously.

Except for occasional nuisance"

of the aress named for their nightly

They arrive in procession and they
never deviate unless they are forced

Yet those who make a close

the Germans possess all the planes
that are claimed for them there is
nothing to prevent them from at

There are plenty which, if hit,

Religion Must Fall TO End
Democracy, DR.. Walsh Says

THE modern Caesars must an
nihilate religion to annihilate de-
mocracy," the Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., vice president of
Georgetown University, declared
last night in closing series of 10
public lectures on Democracy and
the World Revolution"
so long as religion safeguards
the supernatural democracy of
Christianity, that long will Ameri-
can democracy survive" he told an
audience in Memorial Continental
Hall
DR. Walsh, who is also regent of
the school of foreign service, de-
clared that the defense of democ-
racy requires a simultaneous mo-
bilization of national resources on
TWO fronts. The military defense
is being prepared in a traditional
American manner, he said. that Is
Transforming the land into "a roar
ing arsenal of war
Spiritual Defense Also.
But, he warned, "the second line
of defense must be constructed
within the soul of America, in the
citadel of the mind, the heart and
will of the people" 1t can be
achieved, he declared, "only by
rigorous honesty in our conception
of democracy" and in alert under
standing of its virtues and defects.
"The totalitarian concept of gov
ernment, with it's resolve to exalt
and defy the state above the rights
of human personality, is making its
most tremendous, best organized and
best equipped battle against the
democratic faith which recognizes
the individual human soul as the
ultimate criterion and measure of
social control" he declared.
A government may have none of
the outward "trappings" of democ-
racy and still preserve essential de-
mocracy, he claimed in defining de-
mocracy, ultimately, as "a religious
concept"
