Is Faiths Will Join
In Drive 10 Stress
Religious Freedom
Committees Set Up for
United Church Convuss
Starting Tomorrow

For the first time in American
religious history, 16 faiths will join
In a united effort, starting tomor-
row, to present the claims of religion
on mankind.

cording to Charles E. Wilson, vice
chairman Of the War Production
Board and former General Electric
president, who is national chairman
Of the committee sponsoring the
plan, seeks personal and financial
support for the religious enterprises
of the country and to recall a Ma
tion that has drifted away from re-
ligion back to a realization that the
American way of like must be
brought to the recognition OF
spiritual needs.
Joining in this presentation OF
faith are: Northern Baptist, Episco-
pal, Southern Baptist, Reformed
Church in America, United Breth-
rem, Disciples Of Christ, Presbyterian

and laid plans for simultaneous ef-
forts in their communities every
where. Jointly the groups are using
advertising, the radio, the mails, and
starting tomorrow there will be per-
sonal visitations of the various con-
stituencies.
The sponsors committee reminds
that "peace cannot be won alone
with men and guns and tanks and
airplanes and ships. God must be-
come the generating force OF our
lives, of the lives of all men every
where"
The united canvass aims to bring
realization of the preciousness OF
religious freedom, and to determl-
nation to stand together as a unit
to preserve it.
Religion Held Peace Factor.

of a just and durable peace, with
religious influences working with
those who build the peace and re-
build the world.

the plan. The American Newspaper
Publishers Association has pledgeo
its support. Businessmen, college
presidents, religious leaders. repre-
sentatives of the arts. the stage, the
Government, have lent their efforts
on its behalf.
In thousands Of communities the
united appeals will be made, with
emphasis on the urgency Of the need
for a return to religion now.

Wendell Willkie told American

Mr.. Willkie was accompanied by
Maj. Gen. Russell Maxwell, United
States Army commander in the Near
East, at this base where shell-dam-
aged General Grant tanks were
being put back into fighting trim.
Speaking informally to the soldiers,
Mr.. Willkie told them the primary
purpose of his stop-over in Egypt en-
route to Chungking and Moscow was
to try to focus more attention at
home on the Mediterranean front.
He said Americans generally were
not sufficiently aware of the i'm
portance of this war theater where,
he observed, an Axis break through
on the western desert would greatly
prolong the war.
Well refreshed by a nights sleep
after an 11,000-mile flight on his

AT GEN. MONTGOMERY'S
SECRET HEADQUARTERS IN
THE WESTERN DESERT, Sept. 3.
The British defenses of Egypt
remained secure today on the
fourth day of the Axis offensive,
but the real battle has not yet
been joined.
1t. Gen. B. L. Montgomery, COM
mander of the British 9Th Army in
the field, said yesterday that 'in
no place and in no part of the 9th
Army area have the enemy pene-
trated our organized defense area. u
If it was Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel's intention to do so, he has
not done it thus far.
Though Marshal Rommers ar
mored columns have moved some
miles since early Monday, the
enemy has as yet run into no ma jor
Allied formations.
The German armor has traversed
stove-pipe- e-shaped avenue, first
eastward, and then to the north
The enemy forces have lost some
tanks in fighting thus far.
Get Into Position.
The first four days of the offensive
thus have been spent in getting into
position for a big battle rather than
in fighting.
On this side, the soldiers are wait
ing confidently for its start, deter
| mined that the invaders shall not
pass.
Air activity which has been the
Allies usual effort increased to ever
greater proportions yesterday as dust
storms gave way to an exceptionally
clear day which enabled bombers tt
crack 4 at targets almost hourly
throughout the day.
Gen. Montgomery gave the follow.
ing picture of the battle as it ha.
developed thus far:
The fight began shortly befor,
midnight last Sunday when thu
Germans put on two brief raids OF
the Ell Alamein defense positions.
One of these was directed against

Ground Restored.
The second was against position!

but it was subsequently restored b,

picked up 30-also Italians.

There is certain bravado in

never are put into practice"
In reaching a similar conclusion
regarding drinking, the committee
said alcohol had become "a symbol

SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 3.-A

which appy-go-lucky Australian
flyers tossed out beer bottles for the

screaming whistles was described
yesterday by 1t Comdr. George Huff
first Navy man to arrive on the
mainland from the Solomons since
their American occupation.
The 37-year- old San Franciscan,
in describing an operation which
occurred sometime prior to the big
United States marine occupation,
praised the Aussies fighting spirit.
They are great bunch of avia-
tors" he said. They're absolutely
happy-go-l lucky. They act all the
time as if they are happy as kids to
get chance to 60 to war. Our men
are lot more serious.
They had been bombing Tulagi
for quite a while, off and on, before
we got there. They called it week
ending to come over to our base
and take OH from there to crop
bombs on Tulagi. When we went
with them to drop few, our boys
were ready to come home when their
job was done. 1t was first action for
most of them.
Toss Out Beer Bottles.
But those Australians had
brought along a couple of cases of
empty beer bottles and stayed on
for half an hour longer tossing out
the bottles. They whistle all the
way down; it scares hell out of those
