372nd On
Parade
BY Chaplain L. M. FULLER

NEW YORK, N. well, our
soldier boys had another real
outing last Sunday morning at
the st. James Presbyterian
Church, st. ..icholaS ave at
141st st, where, on special in
vitation, we were invited to
worship at this church. The
chaplain of the Second Battal-
ion, 372nd Infantry, was asked
to speak on the subject: What
Can the Church Do for the
Military Personnel in New York
City?" We brought out the fact
that the churches in New
York City are not putting forth
as much effort for the spiritual
benefit Of the soldiers as is
true of the USO, the YMCA,
and other organizations of a
social and recreational nature
are doing for them, socially. If
one third as much stress were
put on the spiritual side Of the
soldiers life as is being put
on the social and recreational
side the morale of our soldiers
would be a great deal better.
The soldiers are getting enough
of thesoc tal side of life and
far too little of the spiritual
side. The duty of the church
es is to stress the spiritual side
much more in the future than
they have in the past. When
bombs fall on us on the battle
field or even in New York City,
we will need God much more
than we shall need the dance

means of recreation now being
furnished the soldiers. The
SoldierSa re no less religious
than is true of the average
civilian, and all they need is
for the churches to stress the
spiritual side more and the
social side less" Dr., William
Lloyd lines, the brilliant and
efficient pastor of this church,
and his very intelligent con-
gregation, promised to do their
part in an effort to help bring
about the spiritual uplift of our
men in uniform. Fefore leaving
the church we received many
invitations tor eturn to take

seven known Italian spies in San
Francisco and 20 of the leaders OF

there" Nothing happened.
"No wonder" the lawyers report
commented, Fritz Kuhn, the leader
Of the German American Bund, said !:
I am in favor of it (the Dies commit
tee) to be appointed again, and
wish them to get more money"
In contrast to his failure to make
the kind of investigation that could
have averted the Pearl Harbor dis
aster, Dies has seldom missed a
chance to attack labor and liberals
in the national administration, the
report cites.
Dies expressed the hope as late as
last October 10 that Russia is licked
at the same time" as Hitler. "He
has attacked all our allies indiscrimi-
nately," says the report. ION the one
hand he has sought to SOW seeds of
distrust against the Soviet Union; on
the other hand, he has threatened to
investigate Fight for Freedom, an or
ganization devoted to assisting Great
Britain"
Perhaps the most damning count
against Dies is his popularity with the
nazis abroad, the report suggests The
FCCs short-wave monitoring service
has found that Dies is more quoted
than any other American in the Axis
broadcasts to the western hemisphere.
His charges of communism against
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
and other government officials have
been played up by the nazis in an
effort to influence the Catholic popu-
lation of Latin America.
After Pearl Harbor, Dies claimed
that he had advance information on
the Japanese attack, the report says.
He talked about maps and diagrams
of U. S. naval formations, radio sta
lions and port facilities, printed in
Japanese which he said his commit
tee had acquired.
"It is abundantly clear that by his
own admission he remained silent
when to speak would have saved more
than 5000 lives and have averted
disastrous defeat" the report con-
cludes. Copies of the analysis may
be ordered at 10c from the National

The vote was not unanimous, Rep.

the number of those voting against

Hearings before the rules commit

cantonio (American-Labor, N. W de-
clared that he was authorized to say
that neither the state department nor
the White House had asked Dies to
hold up on probe of Japanese espi-
onage.
Dies had contended that had he not
been prevented by the two offices
from conducting his investigation he
would have been able to prevent the
disaster at Pearl Harbor He said his
committee had advance information
obtained by tapping telephone wires.
Mercantonio declared that he had
talked with Undersecretary of State

Prior to the exploding of Dies con-
tention regarding his ability to have
prevented the Pearl Harbor incident,
Federal Communications Commission
chairman James L. Fly made public
letter backing up reports that Dies
was the favorite American character
in the cast paraded by axis radio
speakers.
A tentative report prepared by the
FCC's monitoring service, Fly said,
showed that Dies received as many
favorable references in axis propa-
ganda to this country as any living

that Congressman Dies should be pre-
scented to Americans by nazi and fas
