"this is fine thing that you have
done. All of us loved Grover Hall.
All of us loved that part of his
nature which made him unceasing-
1y hostile to intolerance in any
of its forms. He despised it, he
struck it down whenever it ap-
peared, and his voice, lifted at the
cause of tolerance, was one of the
most powerful agencies in the
South to keep clear the thinking
of the people.
'The establishment of this
award is the kind of thing that
Grover Hall himself would have
preferred. I know of no one to
whom a monument of stone would
have been of less Importance, or
to whom an award for the contin-
uing of the fight against intoler-
ance would have been of more i'm
portance. On behalf of the people
of Alabama, thank you for this
fine evidence of faith"

Army to Install
'ISifrei TOrah"
In GOA Chapels

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The
army will provide arks and "Si-
fret Torah" (Scrolls of the Law
for Jewish soldiers in GOA inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL chapels to be con-
structed in training centers
throughout the country, under an
unprecedented program announced
by the War Department.
The program, which will cost
S12, $4,000, will give each regl-
mental unit a chapel of its own.
The chapels will be used at diff
ferent hours of the day by chap
lains of the Jewish, Catholic and
Protestant faiths, all of whom Will
be assigned office space in the
structures.
The Arks of the Law will be an
innovation in Army chapels. 1t Is
expected that the scrolls viii be
purchased by the Army through
the Quartermaster's office OF the
Chief of Chaplains.

LIE leaQer or the Senate iSOla-
zionist bloc denounced the "medi-
eval mendaciousness" of racial
agitation and said he was mot in
terested in the race and creed of
the men he had condemned in his
recent speeches. He did not at
tempt to explain, however, why he
had singled out the Rothschilds,
Warburgs and Sassoons, all Jew
ish, in a recent broadcast attack
on international bankers"
In his broadcast speech last
week Senator Wheeler declared:
Those of us anxious to preserve
civil liberties and peace have been
subjected to a smear campaign,
but f a ct is not answered with
fact, or reason with reason. Cries
of 'pro-Nazi,' Hitler agent and
'anti-Semite' are shouted at the
opposition. This is bigotry in it's
vilest form. This is return to the
monarchial concept that the king
can do no wrong.
Speaking for myself, I have
nothing to recant or for which to
apologize, I have said, and I re-
peat, that there are men in the
world who are far more concerned

am not interested in the race
or creed Of these men. I am con-
cerned and always have been, with
the welfare of the great mass of
humanity, with the under-privi-
legged, with the economic and social
status of those who are ill-fed, ILL
clothed and ill-housed.
Nothing I have said can be in
terpreted to give comfort to those
people here, or in any country in
the world, who make a fetish of
the persecution of any minority
group. I denounce those who seek
to play upon the passions and
emotions of our people with this
kind of medieval niendaciousness.
To-day we witness legislative
and administrative actions which
inevitably must lead to the denial
of the rights of minorities as We
hicles4-sof one-man government.
No minority group can escape the
tide. This is the result of war and
war psychology"
