the methods for bringing the races

When Abdul-Bah' was speak
ing from pulpit and platform in
America in 1912, bringing to the
American people the message Of
unity and spiritual regeneration for
the world which Bah'a'u'llah taught
in Persia and in Palestine. He said:
Prejudice whether it be religious,
racial, patriotic or political in its
origin and aspect is the destroyer
OF human foundations and opposed
to the commands of God. God has
sent forth his prophets for the sole
purpose OF creating love and unity
in the world Of human hearts. All
the heavenly books are the written
word Of love. II they prove to be the
cause OF prejudice and human
arrangement, they have become
fruitless. Therefore religious preju-
dice is especially opposed TO the
will and command of God. Racial
and national prejudice which sepa-
rate mankind into groups and
branches. likewise have false and
unjustifiable foundation for all men
are the children of Adam and es-
sentially one family Impelled
by this prejudice races and nations
declare war against each other; the
blood Of the innocent is poured out
and the earth torn by violence.
Therefore it is decreased by God
in this day that these preiudices
and differences shall be laid aside.
All are commanded 10 seek the
good pleasure Of the Lord OF unity,
10 follow His command and obey
His will; in this way the world OF
humanity shall become illuminat-

of Stalingrad, in an effort to drive to the city limits and trap those Germans fighting inside the city.
 Tmoshenko's counter offensive, with Soviet counter-attacks south west and south of Stalingrad, im- periled the whole German position.
 It was the 42nd day of the great battle and the Russians were killing more than 4,000 Germans day and grinding up their trucks, tanks and planes at proportionate rate. Con- missar Karpov said 1t was difficult to tell how the battle would end, but it was certain the defenders would never quit.
 Pravda said Hitler's plans had called for a swift subjugation of the city, and an advance against Moscow and the oil wells of Baku on the Caspian Sea, but the resist ance of Stalingrad had made that impossible this year.
 Appeal to Defenders
 Leaders of the Stalingrad district committee appeals to the defend- CTS:
 "The titanic battle of Stalingrad grows fiercer daily. The attention of the entire country is centered on you. The fatherland demands that you withstand all trials, no matter how difficult. Hold Stalingrad at any cost!"
 The leaders reported that the dis trict already had fulfilled flor de- livery to the state, necessary cereals and fodder"
 Fierce fighting continued in the Stalingrad area" the Soviet noon communique said. "The enemy launched fierce attacks in the direc- ton of a factory settlement. At the cost of heavy losses, the enemy suc- ceeded in pressing back somewhat one of our units.
 "On all other sectors, Hitlerite at- tacks were repulsed. Our artillery and trench mortars wiped out about a battalion (500 men) of infantry and annihilated 24 machine gun nests, three guns and three trench mortar batteries.
 Northwest of Stalingrad (where the Soviet drive into the German left flank was progressing the men of units fighting in the area of one height killed 150 of the enemy and disabled two tanks, IS machine guns and two trench mortar batteries.
 "On another sector, our guards men attacked and improved their positions"
 Mass Attacks Abandoned
 Reports from the Caucusas indi- cated that the Germans had aban- doned large scale attacks in the Mozdok area, where they were try ing to crash through to the Grozny oil fields.
 A week ago, it was reported, the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-05

Germans threw 250 tanks into ac-' tion in the Mozdok area. Russian mines, artillery and anti-tank guns wrecked scores of their tanks and held their advance to almost noth- ing.
 The Germans now were trying to seize an important inhabited point which they had assaulted six times in the last 48 hours with 30 tanks and an infantry regiment. They had not pressed.
 "In the Mozdok area, our troops continued to repel enemy tank and infantry attacks and destroyed six tanks and more than company of infantry" the noon communique said. "On another sector, an enemy battalion tried to break through mountain gorge, met stubborn re- sistance and retreated, leaving eight dead"
 Around voronezh, $50 miles north- west of Stalingrad, Russian forces fighting in the outskirts of an in- habited locality killed 400 of the enemy, disabled ii tanks and burned six, the noon communique asserted. A total of 2,200 Germans have been reported killed in that area in the last 24 hours.
 Violent Air Battles
 Pravda said violent air battles ragged on the approaches of Lenin- grad, and that the Russians had shot down 48 German planes in the last 48 hours. The Germans, Pravda said, were systematically bombing Soviet positions in the Leningrad and adjacent Sinyavino areas, ob- viously in preparation for new on- slaught. It has been under siege for more than a year. The noon communique said Soviet planes had made daring raid on German airdrome on the northwest ern front (presumably the Lenin- grad area) and destroyed about 6 planes.
 On one sector of the northwestern front, Soviet troops had repulsed a fierce attack, inflicted heavy losses on the Germans and destroyed two tanks, the noon communique as- serted.

FOR BOOST FOR
 BENNETT MILD
PROCLAMATION FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
(Continued from Page D

T trust that every voter, not only in New York state, but throughout the country, regardless of party affiliations, will register, and on November 3, exercise the right of the ballot This is one of the es- sential privileges and duties of our democratic way of lift for which we are now fighting
 Although MT. Roosevelt's appeal was addressed to members of all parties, it is most pertinent for the Democrats. Polls are showing regis trations way down but Democratic apathy this year is more marked than that of the Republicans. In other words, the Republicans are more interested in this years cleo tion than Democrats appear to be and that probably is Because the "outs" see their best chance since 1882 to get back in a little way.
 The reference to Bennett as the best qualified of three gubernatorial candidates is pretty faint praise when it is recalled that Alfange has no record of public service or ex- perience and that MT. Roosevelt has never disguised his feeling that Dewey is not qualified for anything except to bust rackets.
 Bennett was nominated by James A. Farley, one time Roosevelt cam paign manager who refused to man. age the third term campaign and who almost certainly would do what 1 he could to prevent fourth term nomination.
 MT. Roosevelt raised every possible obstacle to Bennett's nomination, finally putting Sen. James M. Mead, an upstate new dealer, into the race against him. Standing with MT. Roosevelt against Farley were the Governor Herbert H. Lehman, Sen. Robert F. Wagner, Mead's colleague, Tammany Hall and Chairman Ed 1 WaYa .. riyI14 U1 ..fe Democratic National committee. Farley gave them a classic political shellacking.
 It was to large extent battle for control of the state organization which will carry with it the poper to control the New York delegation to the 1914 presidential nomination convention. If Farley controls that delegation it is not likely to help renominate MT. Roosevelt nor to give the nomination to vice-President Henry A. Wallace who from time to time seems to be the Presidents pick for the job. or to any man except a party-reghlar Democrat.
 So if Bennett lost in November it might mean that in the next two years the Roosebelt administration could kidnap the defeated state organizati ton from Farley and control the l944 convention delegation. But If Bennett wins he and Farley will be impregnable in the Presidents state.
 The importance Of the ALP vote which Farley hopes the Presidents will swing to his man was demon- strated in 1888 when Lehman de- leated Dewey for governor by 04.- 900 votes. Almost 420,000 of Leh- mans votes were east by the ALP which also had nominated him Tor governor that year. He probably also got Q fat proportion Of the Com munlst vote, perhaps enough to have made n pthe margin Of his victory over Dewey. The Communists did not put . eandidae in the guber. nasoflal race in 1888 but polled around 00,OO0 votes for another cail- dldale who ran for . judicial office This time the Communists have . candidate.
