is necessary to recall what had
really taken place.
1T Is true that on the evening
OF the day Of the bombing the
Pope had visited damaged areas
accompanied by one person only.
Reports have been published by
the Stefani agency (official Italian
news agency and DNB German
news agency according to which the
Pope was quoted as having stated
that the Basilica di San Lorenzo
was almost entirely destroyed the
broadcast said
This is untrue. What the Pope
really said was: The Basilica was
damaged per una grandissima parte
Tin the greatest part).
The facts are that the frontal
part of the cathedral has been de-
stroyed but the antique crypt of the
Basilica, as we'll as the grave of Pope
Plus TX are unframed.
Damage Not Intentional.
Therefore, the Holy Father did
not exaggerate Apart from other
reasons, it was his right to mention
the fact since this Basilica was the
possession Of the neutral Vatican
State.
Every neutral state raises it's
voice when its territory is crossed by
aircraft, attacked or violated. More
over, this Basilica. one Of the seven
principal churches Of Rome and a
place of pilgrimage. belongs in one
sense to The Catholics of the whole
world.
The Holv Father wants to en-
phasiZe his readiness to believe that
American p:]cts did not intention
ally damage the Basilica. He knows
that it is practically impossible to
bomb the holy ground upon which
Rome stands without causing harm
and damage to some site of saint
illness or tradition"
Beamed to Germany.
The broadcast which was in the
German language and beamed to
Germany said that "the Pope is
impartial and his impartiality has
been widely and generally recog-
nized.
He intends not to increase the
hatred of the warfaring parties but
to serve the ideal of understanding
and humanity.
But Rome is unique and both
parties should recognize this.
The Pope knows that churches
have been destroyed in England too
The Pope is holy father to ALL
The broadcast continued:
The Holy Father has advocated
during the whole of this war free
dom of person and belief as the
basis of the truly new order. Mil
lions of Catholics are looking up to
him but his love extends beyond
this to all who strive towards the
light, a better future, better gen.
eral order and towards freedom CT

Capt. Gendreau, Graduate
Of 6. IT,, Killed in Pacific
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, July 24.-Capt.
E. A. NJ Gendreau. 55, surgeon and
medical officer of the United States
Pacific Fleet, was killed during a
japanese bombing raid on Rendova
Island in the Central Solcmons a
few days ago.
Death of the veteran naval Of
flcer was announced today by Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander-in- chief of Pacific Ocean
areas
Capt. Gendreau was killed while
on one of his regular inspection
trips to the South Pacific. No other
details were disclosed.
Capt. Gendreau, native of Cam
ada, was graduated from George
town University and entered the
United States Naval Academy from
Woonsocket, R. I. He had served
in the Navy for 81 years. He was
an expert linquist.

consequently, that the Germans,
too. have made great progress in
the quality of their bombing equip
ment. They are no slouches either
in developing aviation themselves
or in adapting ours. The Germans
were the first to use rocket pro-
pulsion.
Nazis Knew Of Radar.
They had radar and other radio
devices as soon as we had them.
They have brought down enough
81 our latest machines to know and
to acquire our techniques. For all
We know they have ready for use
aeronautical advances on which we
are still working or of which we
know nothing"
Maj. Seversky also points out
that the Nazis have a talent. for
keeping secrets. No outsider, he
says, had any linking that the
Focke- Wulf fighter plane was be-
ing built until it suddenly appeared
N great masses over France.
If, In line with our hypothesis, .
ne continues, 'the Nazis have been
building and conserving big bombers
for an about gamble, the force
at their disposal has no resemblance
to the primitive aviation they used
IN the battle of Britain. Bombing
power has grown tenfold in the
intervening period.
Until the start of 1,000-plane
raids against Germany, the temp
tation for the Nazis to use accu-
inulated bombing power was al
most nil. There were no vital in
dustrial or communications targets
IN Africa to lure this aviation out
OF its hiding places; and the in
dustry of European Russia was too
scattered, and fell too quickly into
German hands, to call for big bomb
ers. while the targets in Asiatic
Russia, on the other side Of the
UralS, were too distant. England
was almost the only target for such
a1rcraft-a target which, if our hv-
pothesis is correct. the Germans
may have chosen to let alone until
they were fully prepared"
Possible Strategy Outlined.
Maj. Seversky declares that the
German strategy in a second all
out aerial attack on England can
be yisualized as follows:
Il Concentration of all available
! submarines in an attempt to break
supply lines even temporarily, but
long enough to exhaust stored up
fuel
This objective is SO important
that the Germans might readily
reconcile themselves to treating
their 600 or more U-boats as ex-

nous as Patty Berg's.
Although she has to keep it tight
ly bound and walks with a Slight
limp, the Minneapolis redhead has
not developed an inferiority complex
about 1t. Her CHEEKY personality
flows on. In fact, after an inter-
view with her, she leaves the i'm
preston that she is downright proud
of that Scared knee, which was
twisted and crushed in an auto
mishap in Texas in December, 194l
why shouldn't I be proud?" she
remarked. I've still got my leg, as
you can readily see, and I still have

accident I'd be lucky if I walked
again, let alone play golf. I'm do
ing both, and pretty good, too, if I
may say So"

Patty gives Les Bolstad. pro of
the Minneapolis Golf Club, much
credit for helping her reshape her
