Church Of Baptism
To Honor Macarthur
Al Services Today
Congregation to Join
In Prayer for General
And His Soldiers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April A.
On the spot where Gen. Douglas
Macarthur was christened almost
tism will offer prayers at tomorrow's
Easter services for divine guidance
for him and safety and courage for
the Allied commander and his men.
Answering a request from Gen.
Macarthur, the Rev. w. P. Witsell,
67-year-old rector of Little Rock S
Christ Episcopal Church, said he
would ask the congregation of more
than 900 communicates to Join him
in the prayers.
He also will touch on the Little
Rock-born hero in his sermon, "A
Message of Easter for Our Times"
The prayer for Gen. Macarthur
will be drawn from passages in the
Episcopal prayer book, which has
supplied supplications for heroes of
the past.
The brick -and-stone church struc-
ture where Douglas and his older
brother Malcolm, now dead, were
baptized May Is, 1880, burned Oc-
tober /, 1888. TomorroW's will be
the first Easter services in the
building since it was restored.
In the business district, this
church where many of Little
Rocks wealthiest families worship
is only a few blocks from the Of
f1cers' quarters in the old Federal
Arsenal Building where Douglas
was born January rs, 1880.
Baptismal records for the two
MacArthurs survived the 1898 fire
and came to light two weeks ago
when DR.. Witsell thumbed through
age-colored sheets Of the parish
register.
The thought that Douglas Mac
Arthur might have been baptized at
the church came to DR.. Witsell
while he was preparing sermon on
the flag. since he knew the Mac
Arthurs were EpiscopalianS. The
record discloses that Douglas was
sponsored at the baptism by DR.. and
Mrs. Edwin Bentley, who lived near
the Arsenal Building where Gen.
MacArthur's father was stationed.
Shortly thereafter the elder Mac
Arthur was transferred to another
station and Little Rock has little
Macarthur lore"

weeks of mounting aerial warfare:
l. Demolition of German industry !:
Associated Press records show that
In spite Of Indifferent flying weather
the Ruhr has been bombed five
times in force and the Rhineland
three times since February l. Pri-
mary targets are the industrial
plants, but the towns themselves are
raided to drive workers from the
factories, and railroads are bombed
to disrupt raw material supply lines
Trucks for Russia Destroyed.
2-Aid to Russia: The Ministry of
Economic Warfare believes the Nazi
war machine has been robbed of "at
least 5000 trucks" that would have
been sent to the Russian front by the
smashing blows at the Renault plant
and the Matford works at Poissy
Raids on eastern and northeastern
Germany, notably the Baltic port of
Lubbock, have destroyed vast sup
plies awaiting shipment to Russia.
3.-Blockade and surveillance of
Germanys battle and merchant
fleets: -Four Nazi coastal craft have
been sunk, seven more damaged and
virtually all traffic along the north
European coast has been halted by
Catalina flying boats and Hudson
bombers on patrol. AS for the Nazi
battle fleet, the R. A. F. is believed
to have located all but two ships
above the light cruiser class.
Air fields: These attacks are
believed to have damaged some Nazi
airdromes so badly that the Germans
will be faced with real problem
when and if they decide to transfer
the bulk of their bomber force from
the eastern to the western air front.

Mine Officials Blamed
For Blast Killing 81 Men
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, April A coal mine
explosion which killed "a men was
attributed officially today to gross
incompetence" of officials respon-
sible for underground operations
in the pit.
The gas explosion occurred jan
uary 27 at the Wadge Mine at
Mount Harris in Northwestern
Colorado.
In a formal report, Thomas Allen.
State coal mine inspector, said the
underground officials knew that the
gas was escaping, and that they
were generally lax in the enforce
ment of safety practices.
One result Of his investigation,
Mr.. Allen said, was the suspension
of certificates emitting Henry john
son, foreman; Clyde Hurst, assist
ant foreman, and William Parry,
fireboss. to act as mine officials
in Colorado

felt 1t would be better to let the
departments continue the discretion
airy renegotiation until House and
Senate committees can bring out a
complete solution.
The current effort to limit war
profits, Senator OMahoney said, is
only one indication that the selective
price control law passed in January
is not accomplishing the desired re-
suits. He said another indication is
that some of the $4,000 900 900 in
the war supply bill is to meet price
increases.
Baruch Plans Use Seen.
These are indications" he de-
clared, "of the primary need for an
all-out price control system. 1t
shows we will have to come eventu-
ally to the Baruch plan"
He had reference to Bernard M.
Baruch, War Industries Board chair
man in the last war, who has gener-
ally favored freezing the whole price
structure as of certain date follow
ing the outbreak of war. In Decem-
Der, however, the House rejected this
theory and adopted the selective
plan, now being administered by the
o. P. A.
The proposed schedule Of maxi
mum profits" would allow up to 10
per cent profit on the first 100000
of a contract. From 100000 to
$500. 900 the limit would be 8 per
cent; from there to $1,000 900, 6 per
cent; up to IS 900 900. per cent; up
to 10000 900, 4 per cent; up to $50

David hartman Wooden

David hartman Wooden was born
February ], 1922 at Kennewick,
Washington, where he attended
school, graduating from Kennewick
high school in Mao, 1910. Soon after
he took up the study of aviation in
which he had always been intensely
interested. His interest was inten-
sified with the attack on Pearl Har-
Dor, when he felt that his services
would he more valuable as an in
structor. He had won his CONNER
cial ratings and his hope Of becom-
ing a flying instructor would have
soon been realized. He was young
man of exemplary character and
morals. He carried always a belief
in the goodness to be found in
everyone. His happy smile and
genial disposition won him friends
where ever he passed.
He met his death while he and a
claSsmate were flying above Pros
ser early in the afternoon OF Sun
day, April 10th, when a wing of the
plane tore loose, plunging them to
earth. He was killed instantly. Be-
sides his parents he leaves a bro
ther, John Wooden, of KennewicS
and sister, Mrs. Jane Lampson of
Boise, Idaho and other relatives to
mourn his loss.
He had expressed a preference for
cremation so that his ashes might
be scattered into the air he loved.
This desire will be carried out by
his family.
Think Of me as Withdrawn into
the dimness.
Yours still, you mine.
Remember all the best your past
time together o.
And forget the rest, and so to
where I wait,
Come gently on" -.
