Hear. Bishops
.A||-0ut-Aid Plea

Misery, woe, humiliation and
anguish of spirit are the price ma
tions pay for loss of freedom, the
Ri. Rev. Frank w. Creighton.
bishop of the Episcopal diocese of
Michigan. declared today as he
pleaded for continued aid to Brit
ain.
I'VE must keep Englands
lifeline open and provide her
with weapons to defend herself,
and food and clothing and
money and the encouragement
OF the greatest and strongest
democracy on EARTH" said
Bishop Creighton. I'VE would
outrage our conscience IL We
did not. We would stultify our
selves and our reliion."
Bishop Creighton spoke in st.
PauTs Cathedral to delegates at
tending the one hundred and

the women of the diocese's eighth
annual convention and the first
meeting Of the Youth Congress.
The Rt. Rev. James M. Maxon.

Calling for courage and re-
turn to the religious life, Bishop
Creighton said:
1--WE realize, of course, that
every one of the so-called demo-
cratic nations now In the nav
of cruel conquerors have lacked
some of the essentials of DEM
ocracy as we believe In Ii. That
may be true of England. =
But there is principle at
stake-the principle Of freedom
from oppression, freedom to
have representative government,
freedom of speech, freedom Of
expression, freedom to worship
God as conscience Dictates"

His OId-Time Vaudeville
With Mr.. Will Klein
Can Be No More
BY BILL CUNNINGHAM

Nobody knows how military
service is going to affect the lives
of ball players. just as nobody
knows how all this grinding crisis
is going to affect the little per-
sonal patches of any of us.
Mr.. Frank Frisch, of the usually
dependable star heave = no act,
needs to take a treatment from
Olsen and Johnson.
There was no more drama in his
first seasonal election from a ball
game the other day than there is
in an old chrome entitled, Cows
Grazing"
In struggle versus the now re-
baptized Boston Braves when an
umpire advised him TO pro-
coed on through the dugout
and into the dog house, Mr..
Frisch let his palpitant public
down like a freight elevator by
proceeding without comment. You
could have Drained the audience
with a toy balloon.
Maybe Mr.. FriSch lost enthusi-
asm for this type of thespic art
when his best partner. the veneer
able Mr.. Will x lei m. up and
retired on him. Hot afternoon ex-
changes between the young Mr..
Frisch and the old Mr.. KLEIN
were bitter burleSque al its best.
But the indomitable Mr.. Klein,
who still fatty insists that nc never
called one wrong in his entire and
lengthy career, is supervisor
these days. looking down from the
hanging gardens of the press pews
while others toll and grow soiled,
and Mr.. Frisch is like great ball
room dancer carrying forlornly on
alone after his partner marries a
kricb nIavhov from Yale.
