Byrd Urges Strike Ban,
End Of 40-Hour Week,
Full Reports on War
Speoks Before Virginia
Assembly; Rockefeller
Made State Citizen
By the Associated Press.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Jan. 81
The General Assembly of Virginia
today made John D. Rockefeller,
jr., an honorary citizen of the Com
monwealth and heard United States
Senator Byrd call for complete dedi-
cation to the war effort, and for the
telling of the whole truth" to the
American people except where such
information would be of value to the
enemy
The biennial commemorative ses-
sion in the restored Colonial capi-
tol building, where the Assembly
has met for one day in each session
since 1884, had an atmosphere OF
sternness about it this year. Most
of the speeches were brief and to
the point.
Gov. Darden told the joint Assem-
bly, in the hall of the House Of
Burgesses that "the time has come
to dedicate ourselves to those things
which our forefathers fought to
defend"
Cary Sponsors Resolution.
Shortly after the two houses
opened in separate sessions, Senator
Hunsdon Cary Of Henrico intro
duced the joint resolution to acclaim
as an honorary citizen of Virginia
the man whose generosity and in
terest in the early history of the
State made the restoration of the
Capitol building and Colonial Will
liamsburg possible Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter was not present, but there was
cheering when John D. Rockefeller,
Sd, was introduced with the presi-
dent and other trustees of Colonial
Williamsburg.
In his address to the joint ses-
sion, Senator Byrd said if he could
adopt a simple slogan for the uni
fication of America it would be:
Excluding information of value
to the enemy, the American people
should know, in this grave emer-
gency, the whole truth, fully and
progressively, so that by united
action and universal sacrifice we
can meet our perils and perform
the colossal obligations we have
undertaken for the glory and well
fare of our Republic"
U. S. Task Unprecedented.
Asking that America arm to the
hilt, the Senator said this country
had assumed obligations of greater
magnitude than any in the worlds
history in undertaking to provide
military supplies for the British
Empire, China, Russia and all ma
tions resisting aggression.
He told the Assemblymen that
1--WE must realize that 40-hour
week has no place in nation wag-
ing a desperate war. France found
that out to her tragic sorrow. So
called social gains, If they interfere
with the defense program, must be
suspended for the period of the
emergency. Every American activity
must yield immediate priority to
military production. We must be
prepared to respond to the call of
the Government in infinitely greater
sacrifices in our civilian needs. All
strikes in defense industries must
stop, and by the same token, We
want no war profiteers. We must
never tolerate corruption"
The Senator was applauded when
in conclusion, after predicting a
victory for America he said:
pray God, we will fight in the
spirit of George Washington in his
day, and in the spirit of Douglas
Macarthur in this day, until victory
Is ours"

LEATHERNECK DREANuAND

One of the most unusual of mod
ern adventures was shared a few
years ago by % former U. S. Ma
rines led by A. ]. Burks, ex-Leath-
erneck lieutenant and his ex-ser-
geant, Robert A. Mclean.
Meeting his former officer in Los
Angeles, Mclean was asked if he
would take charge of a small army
of 20 ex-Marines whose barracks
would be a palace on a beautiful
Pacific island and whose duties
would be to serve a fascinating
princess and her slaves.
Mclean was skeptical, but soon
slearned his former commanding
officer was sincere. The princess

OPEN
WINDOWS
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

If you were commanded by the
government not to pray for thirty
days, what would you do?
This was the spot in which Dan
iel found himself. Knowing how
faithful he was in keeping his pray
er hour in his open window, Dan
iers enemies had set trap for him
by pursuading King Barius to COM
mand that no one should pray to
any God for thirty days.
Daniel had read the Kings de-
cree. He knew that disobedience
would cost him his life. Should he
honor the King and save his life, or
should he honor his God and lose
it?
OF course, he could pray in Sc
cret, but Daniel realized that would
be cowardly dishonoring of his
God.
Smyrna times., 1942-04-16

To Daniel that open window had
meant much. 1t opened in the di-
rection of Jerusalem. Through II
he could still see in memory the
glory of his old boyhood city. Al
though Jerusalem was destroyed,
yet through that open window of
prayer Daniel knew that his God
was not destroyed, but that He was
a living power who would someday
restore Jerusalem. Thus through
his open window of prayer, Daniel
was enabled to see prophetic Wis
ions concerning the future.
Gould Daniel shut such a window
as that, even for one day?
Knowing that his enemies were
down in the street spying upon
him, he courageously opened that
window and boldly knelt in full
view of his enemies and prayed as
usual.
True, his heroic faithfulness caus-
ed him to be thrown into a den Of
lions. But an angel of God unex-
Ipectedly accompanied him there
and locked the lions mouths.
1t is through open windows OF
reroic prayer that men experience
the reality and the power of God.

Yes, the princess fell in love.
Stories conflict as to whether she
favored Burks or Mclean, but it

to discharge her servants and

quiet elsewhere with the man of
her choice.
