New York, N. r., May 25.--U. s. soldiers will sec more USO-Camp Shows than they did last summer, according to the entertainment schedule set up at headquarters of the organization this week. Last summer there were l5 units travel ing the Rcd" and White circuits Of USO-Camp Shows. This summer will see 25 different units touring the camp route Next winters plans are only tentatively set, but in- will be provided with more than 50 units on these two circuits alone, as compared with 34 for the winter season ending this month.
 These figures do not include the 5l units now touring the Blue Circuit of Camp Shows, designed to entertain the small and isolated attachments of servicemen. Not in- cluded are the overseas units (more than 20 wer sent out during the past three months), nor are the mana spot booked" units from the New York, Chicago and Hollywood offices inyo;ved in these figures,
 Some idea of the scope of Camp Shows operations is given ip sta tistics issued this week, This month lowingthere were l,064 performers Gall profeSsionals) on the payroll, entertaining soldiers and sailors.

NAZIS NO. 1 FOE
 AYERS ROOSEVELT
No Further Scattering of Allied War Effort Urged
 By Leading Officers
By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Stan COrrcspOndcnt)

London. May 25.--(UP) --Presl- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill are expected to announce soon the general nature Of their consultations and London observers anticipate that they will make 1t plain once and for all that Germany iS the number one target at this stage of the war and that a mighty effort will bc made during the com ing weeks to blast the Nazis of the map.
 It is uncertain whether the Allied leaders will announce their sclec. ton Of C generaliSsimo to lead the United Nations forces against Hlt- ler's So-called citadel. But experts still are betting on Gen, George c, Marshall U. s. Army chief Of staff. Gen. Sir Harold R. l.. c. Alexander commander of Allied ground forces in North Africa, Is second choice here.
 The Washington conference also is expected to produce plans for putting the Allies on the offensive in the Pacific.
 It is known that top-ranklng of- iicers Of both American and British commands arc insistent that there be no further scattering Of the Allied war effort. They have been pressing strongly for concentration Of forces-al although some have dis agreed as to the point where the concentration should be applied.
 In the opinion Of these leaders, the attack against Europe already is well advanced. They regard the Storming Of Tunlsia has having cleared the approaches to Europe The preliminary softening up is go- ing on almost every night in both Germany and Italy as often as weather conditions permit
 Both Army and Navy sources are confident that the actual attack and invasion can be determined only by reference to Allied shipping records --one of the wars darkest secrets.
 The shipping situation has im- proved steadily in the past half dozen weeks and announcements in Washington that production of heavy bombers has hit the 500-a- month level means that the U. S l Army Air Force can continue large scale air attacks without undue | drain or skimping in other theaters. l

 MAN WILL FIND GOD
 Franz Werfel, non-Catholic au- thor of the most powerful Catholic novel of a generation, the Song Of Bernadette is not only . brilliant author but as his writings bear testimony a man of deep spirituality whose brilliant mind has pierced the superficial and apparent causes of the worlds misery and found the true cause of disorder in mans ef- forts to run Gods world with no concern for the VIII of Him who has laid down the rules by which that world can be run with order
 Some sentences from manu- script written for The queens Work indicates how MT. Werfel reads the signs of the past and the future
 This horrifying crisis is a crisis of the spirit and we can meet it only with the spirit. There was once an age strangely called The Dark Middle Ages In which q St. Francis worked, Q St, Thomas phil- osophized and q Dante wrote. These men believed in an immortal soul and they possessed on immor- tal soul. We are the reverse of these men. We lack the faith to believe in the immortality of our souls. For that reason we do not believe in the spirit but in a chaotic abSurdity We are no longer the children Of God but the victims of the mech snical powers and functions Of ths economic cycle. Civilized man has lost God. A new God was born, the God of success. Since he has ruled spiritual values have fallen into even deeper decadence. The present war is the logical result, no the logical punishment, for the dullness of the world, which in turn resulted from It's GodlesSncsS. After the misery and hcartbreak of war the great intellectual discovery Of the next decade will be God.

Genesis of this gigantic theatrical enterprise wash the Citizens Com mittee for the Army and Navy, Inc. which paved the way for organized camp entertainment in May, 194l. This committee. with the assistance of several leading showmen, pre- sented a stage show at Ft. Belvoir. The response of the soldiers and the War and Navy Departments to this experiment clearly indicated the need for increasing the scope of this organized entertainment project and six more units were then pro- duced and started touring the camps in "show-busses' early tha' summer Camp Shows, Inc, was or ganized during the latter part oi that summer to carry on the work which has become the greates' live-talent organization in the his- tory of American show business.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

religious freedom, the figures stated there on Russia are interesting. There are six ecclesiastical jurisdic- tions in Russia. Not one of them has a Bishop, nor has any of them had a Bishop since the Soviets barred them in 1926. At that time the Vat ican set up thirteen Apostolic Ad- ministrations to be directed by pre- lates and priests. Every one of these has been removed from his post; some are in prison, some are in exile and some are missing, Of the four administrators of the Diocese of Traspol two have been put in prison for the faith since 1930.' Mo- thing is known of the other two.
 Thus the new religious freedom of the reformed Soviet.
 LITURGY IN ENGLISH
 For some time a lively debate has been presented in the corre- spondence columns and the editor ial page of the London Catholic Herald on the proposal made re- gently by fourteen priests, all of them men of experience and in res- ponsible positions, that preliminary steps should be taken toward allow ing the vernacular language Of each country into the liturgy Of the Church outside of the Mass itself.
 Thus the Baptismal ceremonies, the ceremonies of Confirmation and of Extreme Unction, together with the other beautiful prayers that en- shrine the ceremonies of the liturgy would be carried out fin the lang uage which Is the common and understood language of the congre- gation.
 We cannot but be in sympathy with such a proposal. Administer ing the sacraments in the language of the people could not but give the sacraments a new meaning and im- portance to them. Many of the ceremonies and prayers, which for most Catholics are now impregnably encased in unknown words, would take on Q new meaning and make more intelligble and edifying the mind and manner of the church
 BUT WHY LATIN
 But why use Latin al all2 Why not EnglIsh2 It would seem more practical
 Because Latin Is changeless language consistent with the changeless character of the Church. As the English of Chaucer IS not the English of Shakespeare, and as neither of them wrote the English of our day, so centuries hence the English Of today will be harsh and incomprehensible to the people Of that day. But the Mass does not change and the meaning of It's words must not change. So Latin with It's now unchanglng grammar is held 10 be the safe and practical medium for the Mass,
 It iS the constant hope Of and ef- fort Of the Church that Catholics should be sufficiently acquainted with Latin that they might follow the Mass closely and intelligently. Study clubs, classes in high schools and colleges work to this end and today there is large and encour- aging number of Catholics for whom little Knowledge of Latin has made the following Of the Mass in the standard Mlssal a compara- lively easy task.
