the edge of the walk.
Like other searchers before
them, they found nothing to indi.
cate how the cat had entered the
house or where it could be found.
They replaced the walk while
other workmen set up sound
simplifying apparatus in the house
in an effort to find the source Of
the "meows." The sound experts
decided too that the quest was
hopeless.
Meanwhile, Tamm was kept
busy answering telephone callers,
who offered cash rewards for the
rescue of the cat or suggested
places where it might be bidder.
Curious neighbors crowded
around the house watching the
workmen.
"No cat can last longer than
Is days without food and
water" said one.

had survived "a days Imprisonment

Iscure recess of the frame bunga-

two weeks.
Otto Tamm, 60, real estate

the object Of an intensive search.
First he was community joke,
but the neighbors grew more SOL

kitten was doomed.
SEARCH COSTS 500
Tamm spent 500 having fur
mace pipes and walls dismantled
and searched. Some workmen vol
unfairly contributed labor in a
vain search for the cat. In all, two

of firemen, representatives of the

FAITH IN BOATS
Regarding General MacArthur's
belief that with 200 such torpedo
boats American forces could sweep
the Japanese from the Pacific,
Lieutenant Bulkeley said:
General Mac Arthur has
great faith In motor torpedo
boats and believes they have
demonstrated their ability
against the enemy"
Lieutenant Buckley last saw
the general in Melbourne.
Buckley said there were still
torpedo boats in the Philippines
but / can't tell where" He ex-
pressed his confidence that once
America collects sufficient man
power and weapons in the Pacific,
she will sweep over the japanese
like "a steamroller."

been fighting the japanese who
outnumbered them from five-to-
one TO 1O-to-one. We can beat

Cardinal Bares
.Ndzi Oppression
Of Catholics.

BERN, Switzerland. May 9
(UP). - Michael Cardinal Faul-
haber. archbishop Of Munich, has
charged that the Nazis are oppres-
sing the Catholic church in Ger
many and called upon the faithful
to beware of "a cultural wal"
launched by the Hitlerites against
the church.
The charges were made in a
speech delivered at the Cathedral
of Munich on New Years Day and
made public today for the first
time in the newspaper Die Nation.
INSTRUCTS FAITHFUL
The cardinal also dictated 10
commandments in which he APP
pealed to the faithful to resist
evil and remain confident and
spread the truth"
"This Christmas human hearts
cried: Give us peace! While
the Christian faith I'm Germany
lives In a peaceless condition."
the cardinal was quoted as
saying.
while Catholic soldiers are
fighting shoulder to shoulder
with other soldiers on the front
lines, bearing the same burdens
and sacrifices of blood, while
voluntary and enforced sacrifices
such as giving warm clothing
for the soldiers are imposed
upon Catholics at home, the
church In Germany Is treated
with constant distrust and sur
rounded by spies.
CHURCH OPPRESSED
"The church Is oppressed with
exceptional regulations and the
church premises are confiscated."
The speech was made at a time
when the German people were
going through a severe winter
darkened by the reverses suffered
by the German army on the east
|ern front.
