American troops must match their
enemies not only in training, but as

the whole, Gen McNair said, the
Army ground forces are still "a
green army" but the Army of 1912

with the 1941 model" Improved
leadership has made itself felt since

that hating our enemies, then we
must hate them with every fiber of
our being. We must lust for battle;
our own object in life must be to
kill; we must scheme and plan night
and day to kill.
There need be no pangs of con-
science, for our enemies have light

killing is the object of our efforts,
the sooner we get into the killing
mood, the better and more skillful
we shall be when the real test comes.
The struggle is for survival-kill or

The one positive method to end
the war decisively is hand-to-hand

Gen. McNair referred to another

out of recent group of 10000 men
who enlisted voluntarily, only 5
per cent chose the infantry and

These two arms are pre-emi-

said. Does this mean that our
soldiers prefer the more genteel

Roosevelt Stresses Religion
In Postwar World
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt has expressed the opinion
that the postwar world must be
founded on renewed loyalty to the
spiritual values inherent in the great
religious traditions which have saved
mankind from degradation in the
past and offer the greatest promise
for civilization in the future"
A letter from the Chief Executive
addressed to Rabbi Louis Finkel-
stein, president of the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary of America, and
read at meeting last night on
the seminary's 55th anniversary
said:
THE enemies of mankind who are
arrayed in battle against us realized
this, and therefore began their effort
to subdue the world with am assault
on religious institutions.
1T has become an attack upon
all monotheistic religions and the
principles which they have taught
mankind-the dignity and worth of
human personality, the value of
reason and truth, the blessedness
OF mercy and justice"

Temporary Home Is Found
For Evicted Family Of 9

Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Panholzer and
their seven minor children, who were
evicted Saturday from their Bladens-
burg home by a ruling of the Prince
Georges County Health Department,
are temporarily being housed at a
private home in nearby Maryland,
the Family Service Association said
today.
The family had been staying at
the Gospel Mission, which broke it's
rules against housing women or
children, in order to~.take care of
them temporarily.
The Family Service Association
still is seeking a private house or
apartment to serve as a permanent
residence for the family. Things
looked brighter today for the Pan
holzers, it was said, because several
persons have offered the father Jobs
and 1t was hoped that he would be
able to obtain a position paving
more than he has been receiving as

Fighting Spirit Needed
To Win, Gen. McNair
Says in Forum
Kill or Be Killed Is
War Code. Ground Forces
Commander Declares

American soldiers must have the
lighting spirit" to win this war,
1t. Gen. Lesley ]. McNatr, COM
Inander Of the Army Ground. Forces,
declared last night on the National
Radio Forum, in warning that 'the
struggle is for surviva-kill or be
killed"
Gen. McNair spoke directly to
the more than 1000, 900 men Of his
command on the Forums Armistice
Day program, arranged by The Star
and broadcast over Station WMAL
and the Blue Network.
Certain surveys have tended to
show, whether true or false, he said,
that one-fourth Of the Army want
to fight, that one-fourth do not
want to fight, and that one-half
are ION the fence"
IT'D prefer to think that more
than one-fourth want to fight" he
declared, but even If the figures
are true, the picture is all right,
because those of you who do not
hate now are going to do so later.
Must Become Killers.
ut is the avowed purpose of the
Army to make killers of all of you;
if not at home, far away from the
enemy, then overseas.
Also, there are certain indica-
lions that one-half of you in COM
bat divisions expect to fight. All
of you must not only expect to fight
but must be determined to fight and
kill.
Again, it is said that one-half of
you expect the war to end within
two years But your reason must
tell you that it will end only when
you finish it. If you intend to do
the job in two years, make your
selves into fighting devils now, not
later" he said.
Gen. McNair made only a parting
reference to the new front in French
North Africa, declaring it must be
followed by a great main body-"or
else"
you can see the pattern OF the
great struggles which will decide the
war" he said. The United States
is stretching out its arms to encircle
the globe-not in conquest-in pro-
lection.
Requires About Effort.
Even with our powerful Allies the
task is vast and calls for our utmost
about effort" he warned. Let no
one of you be the super-optimist and
conclude that Africa is the begin
ming of the end. 1t is only another
great stride forward in our part of
the war. Our great advance guard
overseas must be. followed by a
great main body-or else. I hope
that it may include you ALL"
Despite operations in the Pacific
and in Africa, Gen. McNair remind
ed that as nation we are just be-
ginning to fight. Armistice Day is a
fitting occasion to memorabilia those
who have already lost their lives
in this war, but 1t is more practical
and realistic to take stock of the sit
uation ahead of u.s." he said.

Germans and the Japs have done

reminded, in a gamble that has

MOSCOW, Nov 1.-THE publica-
ton of an exchange of messages
between the leaders of Turkey and
the Soviet Union in connection with
the 10th anniversary of the creation
of the Turkish republic was seen
here today as sign of greatly i'm

Premier Joseph Stain sent to
Prime Minister Sukru Saracoglu his
congratulations and best wishes for
"fourishing" Turkey, and received
a reply expressing gratitude and
friendly feelings.
The messages represented a
marked improvement in Soviet
Turkish relations following difficult
ties over the Ankara trial of two
Russians in connection with a plot
to bomb Franz Won Papen, German
Ambassador to Turkey.

DR.. Gabrielson was out of town
today, but at the Fish and Wildife
Service it was said that he had lev
eled no such accusation at the gen.
eral, for publication or privately. 1t
was admitted, however, that there
have been words between the chief
of the service and Gen. Buckner over
the proprietv of charging soldiers the
nonresident fee of $50 to hunt big
game.
But the whole thing is being cor
rected, it was pointed out, by bill
which Secretary Ickes and DR.. Ga
brielson and Alaskan Delegate Dia-
mond have sponsored and which is
due to come up on the consent
calendar of the House Monday.
This measure classes soldiers as resi-
dents after a year in the territory
and allows them hunting licenses
for the resident fee of 81 each. A
companion bill is pending in the
Senate.
This, said Charles E. Jackson, as
sistant director of the Fish and
Wildlife Service, is apparently all

Bag Limit.
Some concern was expressed by
experts at the Federal agency over
Kodiak bears. Kodiaks, the largest
bears in the world, are found only
ON Kodiak Island and in other
sections of Southwestern Alaska.
They easily could be eXterminated
if the soldiers started using them in
lieu of rifle range, it was pointed
out.
But there is an open season and
bag limit on Kodiaks and other
bears, moose, all big game in Alaska,
it was explained, and there is no
disposition to deprive soldiers of
their right to this privilege.
Meanwhile the Kodiak Bear
printed on page l, under the banner
headline, the story of an outpost
which was forced to shoot a Kodiak
in self-defense. There was an Of
fetal letter on the subject from 1t.
Robert L. Smith, commanding the
small detachment, to Maj. Gen.
Charles H. Corlett, commanding
Fort Greedy - through military
channels. of course. In this COM
munique 1t. Smith reported:
q. On the morning of October 6,

$50 pm, on the night of October 4,

military and economic aspects and
the effects OF American immigration
and citizenship laws. The COM
manders had dubious authority to
deal with the question.
The new order applies to troops in
Hawaii. Alaska, Puerto Rico and the
Canal Zone. as well as those IN
foreign lands, officials said.
Soldiers in the continental United
States, however. may wed without
regard to the views of their superior
officers, under a iberalized regula-
ton announced in February by Sec
retary of War Stimson. In peace
time, official permission had to be
sought for the marriage of privates
whose maximum pay then was $36 a
month.
One of the many difficulties of
marriages contracted overseas is that
the Army makes no provision for
transporting families of enlisted men
except the three highest paid grades
of sergeant.
Marriages between American SOL
diers and Australian girls have been
so numerous that church leaders
have tried repeatedly to discourage
such ventures because the war might
cause immediate separations.
