Religious Principles
Face Strongest Test,
Retreat Group Told
Must Be Sofeeuorded
From MoterioIism,
Dr.. Moener Says

The principles of religion now are
facing their strongest test under
wartime conditions and must be
safeguarded against the forces of
materialism, the Rev James A.
Magner, procurator of Catholic Uni
versity, declared yesterday.
Warning that the church is in
peril of its life" Father Magner
told about 1000 Washington Lay
women's Retreat League members
that 'the state today is influencing
the people, telling them what to
think and what to do" The league
met at an annual breakfast at the
Mayfiower Hotel
Eve may have to ask ourselves
whether the spiritual purposes of
our faith have not been incrusted
with the material barnacles of the
world around u.s." DR.. Magner con-
tinued. TT is so easy in fighting
a war to become preoccupied in
gathering the wherewithal, in
plunging in ceaseless activity until
we forget all about that for which
we are fighting.
Prayerful Attitude Needed.
What is needed at this time is
prayerful attitude combined with
creative thinking and courageous

The annual Communion Mass was
celebrated earlier at the Cathedral
of St. Matthew the Apostle by the
Rev. John S. Spence. spiritual di-
rector of the league. The Rev.
John j. Duggan. assistant chancel-
lor of the Archdioceses of Baltimore
and Washington, preached at the
mass on Retreat to Victory"
Returning from active service as
a chaplain commander with the
Navy to his post as pastor of Cow
enant- First Presbyterian Church,
the Rev. DR.. Albert j. Mccartney
emphasized in his sermon yesterday
the necessity of patriotically serving
on the home 'front.'
Must Defend Rights at Home.
Each one of us has part to play
and his post to stand by in making
America worth fighting for" said
DR.. Mccartney. Sometimes we
wonder about it. The weakness of
our present fight for democracy is
moral more than physical What
We are fighting for in the far
corners of the earth must be de-
Tended and preserved here on the

In another service yesterday,
sel1shness was branded the domi-
nant individual and national sin by
the Rev. Charles B. Foelsch. DR..
Foelsch preached his farewell SER
mon to the congregation of the

from that moment, I think, that we
were living on velvet.
About 3 o'clock In the morning
rife firing died down and the Japa-
nese moved on toward the peninsula
tip. Quietly we took off all our
clothes except our shorts and socks
and buried ourselves in the river
mud. We soaked there for nearly
a half hour, completely covering our
heads and faces with the foul muck.
We knew 1t was the best camouflage
we could use.
We kept only our shorts and our
revolvers as we followed the river
down to the lagoon which spilled
into Manila Bay. At the mouth Of
the river our plans for speedy es-
cape were ruined again-a full regi-
ment Of Japanese was bivouacked
on both sides of the stream. We
held hasty, muf1ed war council
and decided our only chance was
to float noiselessly past the camps
and attempt to crawl across the
bar separating the lagoon from the
surf and trust to luck that we met
no suspicious enemy patrols.
I don't think we made an un-
natural ripple in the whole stream
as we coasted gently past the camps,
the tantalizing aroma Of rice and
fish filling our nostrils. 1t was now
almost "a hours since we had eaten
our last meal-and that was only a

Japs in Frenzy.
All that day excitement and more
excitement seemed to keep the en-
camped japanese in a state Of
frenzy. We could see three Japa-
nese women with the soldiers and
they seemed to be leading the
merrymakers, one of them stopping
the celebration now and then while
she fed an infant child.
About that night we crawled
to the mouth of the river. We found
two big campfires blazing directly at
the entrance and we could see
enemy soldiers sitting around, eating
rice and apparently drinking sake.
We crawled to within feet of
the nearest Japanese soldier and
saw there was no chance OF our
getting to the surf without being
detected. We decided our only hope
was to give the soldiers chance
to drink more and fall asleep, then
we would have to risk walking right
through the camp. We took the
chance and it worked, although we
almost stepped on the face Of a
sleeping soldier as we walked briskly
through the dark encampment. Only
a few Japs noticed us and they must
have thought we were a pair of

Jap Patrol.
We reached the bar. slushing our
way through mud which had collect
ed on the fringe of the sand and
began to worm our way stealthily
across. We had gone perhaps 10
feet when Baker grabbed me, sud-
denly motioning first to the left
and then back. His face in the
moonlight, with the thick, black
mud dripping slowly down like choc-
olate sirup, almost made me break
out in tears or laughter, I don't
know which. I quickly looked
where he pointed. Coming down
the beach was a patrol of four jap
anese soldiers-and they weren't
more than 20 yards away. We
turned like two snakes and glided
our way back to the mud fringe
where we buried ourselves again,
this time for real camouflage. We
kept dead still, our mud-caked heads
probably resembling rocks or logs
protruding from the mud.
The patrol stood only few feet
from us for perhaps Is minutes,
laughing and joking in japanese.
AS soon as activity seemed to be
at least temporarily at a stand
still, Baker and I moved from our
temporary shelter to a mud fiat,
above the Japanese camps, which
were protected by water growths.
We dug in again and STAYED in the

lay there debating whether we
should throw away our guns and

the gun and at least try to fight
it wasn't hard to remember the
particularly pleasant JOY with which
the Jap bayonet white men who are
afraid to give their lives. I remem-
bered other examples had seen and
heard about earlier on Bataan.
Even as I made the decision a
flashlight f1ickered directly into our
brush refuge from distance of less
than 10 feet. The glare from the
central Japanese positions showed it
to be an enemy soldier on routine
patrol, moving through the brush
silently. We couldn't hear the faint
est crackle of a twig. We didn't
move a muscle for fully two minutes
as he let his flashlight rove over
and around our hiding place. Then
he moved of again. Baker and I
solemnly shook hands and we knew

A Week From Today

A week from today, Justice James

likely hear oral arguments on the
motion for a new trial, filed yester-
day in District Court BY counsel for
Orman w. Ewing, former Demo-
cratic national committeeman from

jury Of criminally assaulting q 20
year-old Government worker.
Attorneys H. l.. Mccormick,

terday filed a molten to set aside
the verdict and grant new trial.
Contending for the validity Of the
trial and verdict will be Assistant
United States Attorneys John w.
Fihelly and Charles B. Murray, the
prosecutors.
Ewing claimed, through his coun-
sci, that the verdict was contrary
to law; that it was contrary to the
weight of the evidence; that 1t
ignored the instructions of the court;
that the ury failed to follow the
courts instructions; that directed
verdict of acquittsl should have
been granted the defendant; that
the evidence showed the passive
acquieScence OF the complainant in
the act; that the Government prom
ised competent medical evidence In
the case, which it never produced,
and that the Government, in ex-
amining prospective jurors on the
preliminary examination, prejudiced
the defendant by bringing in ques-
tions concerning whether any Of
them were identified with a detec-
tive agency-and that otherwise the
defendants rights were jeopardized.

Davies Sees Victory
ImperiIed in Soviet
Attack on Japan
Ex-Ambossudor Holds
Big Job Is to Supply
Russia and China
By ALFRED TOOMBS,

A Russian attack upon Japan
from Vladivostok at this time might
do more harm than good. Joseph
E. Davies, former United States
Ambassador to the Soviet, said
here yesterday.
Mr.. Davies said that the most i'm
portant thing this country had to
do was to keep Russia and China
well supplied and fighting. He ex-
pressed his confidence that both
countries would be able to hold out
in spite of any disasters which
might occur in the South Pacific
through the spring, summer and
fall campaigns.
But he said the greatest danger
to this country would be in Axis
moves which would result in en-
circlement of these two nations
cutting them off from the supplies
this country must furnish.
Would Release Jap Hordes.
"If Japan could be attacked from
Vladivostok. he said, considerable
havoc would be wrought in the
wooden cities, and it would con-
stitute severe blow at civilian
morale. But you can't win a war
by bombing the civilian popula-
ton. That has been proved in
Spain and England and elsewhere.
"On the other hand, by project
ing Russia into the Pacific war you
would confront the Red Army with
a million and a half japanese SOL
diers based in Manchukuo. Could
the Russians hold them?
This is a military question
and I doubt If the high command
of the United Nations wants Rus
sia to attack Japan at this time"
Mr.. Davies. who predicted at the
start of the Nazi campaign against
Russia that the Red Army would
stop the Germans, said he was con-
f1dent that Hitler's spring campaign
would fail to destroy the Russian
government and the Russian morale.
Sees China Holding.
Likewise, China will be able to
hold out through the spring, the
summer and the fall Both of these
nations will still be fighting in the
spring of 1943, he predicted, and
pointed out that gives us year and
half to amass supplies for a con-
centrated attack on the enemy.
If Hitler should succeed in taking
Russia, he would have such material
and industrial resources that We
would have an almost impossible
job to defeat him, Mr.. Davies said
For that reason, it is vital that we
send Russia the materials needed to
hold off Hitler.
I'm no Communist-not even a
pink-but I know the Russians and
I admire what they've done. For
our own sake, we, must help them" I"

the Press Club tonight under the
