CHURCHES OBSERVE BILL OF RIGHTS
REGARDLESS OF RACE CLASS Or CREED
GOD HAVE MERCY ON US AMERICANS BECAUSE
OF OUR INJUSTICE, WHILE WE BOAST OF OUR
SENSE OF JUSTICE-ATToRNEY GENERAL FRAN
CTS BIDDLE

Although today, Wednesday, is
the anniversary of the Bill of
Rights, many Seattle churches
began its observation Sunday.
Freedom of speech and free
dom of the press were stressed
by the Rev Perry E. Gresham
Of the University Christian
Church
The Rev. Carl II. Sandgren of
the Gethsemane Lutheran Church
said:
I'VE thank God for the bless
ings the Bill of Rights has con-
ferred on our nation. We pray
God humbIy for forgiveness that
for some of our citizens il is still
national myth.
Eve have not extended its full
provisions to the Negro, who, in
some states, is barred from vot-
ing because of the poll tax.
DENIED TO SOME
I'VE had granted 1t to every
American citizen of whatever
creed, race or color. We have
since denied il to some without
the constitutional procedure that
Bill of Rights guarantees to every
citizen. Attorney General Fran
els Biddle testified before the Dies
Committee last Thursday that he
had the 'gravest doubts of the
cOnstitutionality of removing
American citizens from their
homes because of race. God have
mercy on us Americans because
of our injustices while we boast
of our sense of justice.
''Our prayer is that the endur-
ing Word of God i'm which Christ
says, IF the Son shall set you
free, We shall be free indeed
shall be both comfort and an
encouragement to those we have
enslaved and a guiding beacon to
our land i'm correcting its abuses"
LAUREL PRESBYTERIAN
The Rev. Honor L. Wilhelm,
supply pastor of Lourel Presby-
terrain Church, called his congre-
cations attention to the fact that
the United States has recognized
the sovereignty of God as attested
by the inscription, I'm God We
Trust" on every coin.
ITO make il clear and spe-
cific, he said, "after the adop-
ton of the Constitution we
adopted the Bill of Rights, the
most sacred national guarantee
of liberty and freedom which the
American people possess.

0PA Counsel Accuses
Hecht Co. Of Apathy
And Indifference
Closing Arguments
Made; Overchorees
Repaid, DuIcon Says

Closing arguments in the Govern
ment's price control case against
the Hecht Co. were begun in District
Court today as OPA counsel accused
the company of apathy and indif-
ference" and stated admitted" vio-
lations by the company would form
the basis of the OPA request for a
permanent injunction.
Arguments are expected to close
today when the case will be given
to Justice F. Dickinson Let's for
judgment.
George NJ Austin, OPA counsel
said that the Hecht Co. had ad-
mitted, among other things total
of $500 violations and GAO evil
dences of overcharging, with a cost
Of $4,000 to consumers.
Overcharges Repaid.
Earlier, Charles B. Dulcan. ST..
vice president and general manager
of the Hecht Co., had stated mis-
takes were made in good faith
and any overcharges are being paid
back where the consumer is known
and will be given to charity if pur-
chaSers cannot be determined.
Taking the stand late yesterday in
the 10-day-old proceedings in which
the company has opposed the OPA
petition for a permanent injunction
to halt further alleged breaches OF
the law, Mr.. Dulcan said every effort
had been made to abide by the regu-
lations, and outlined the company's
course since price fixing was inaugu-
rated early last year.
Charles A. Horsky of defense
counsel said Mr.. Dulcan would be
the last witness for the company.
Force Specially Trained.
Mr.. Dulcan told the court that
Hecht had set up a special bureau
to handle OPA matters even before
the price ceilings went into effect;
that the force had been trained for
the functions that would be nee
essary, and that no expense had
been spared to make this branch of
the store efficient although it had
been difficult to recruit help. All
officials of the store, he continued,
had been impressed with the neces-
sity of living up to the law, and he
read a memorandum addressed to
the heads of the establishment in
April, before the law became effec-
tive, in which he said I'VE will live
100 per cent within the law"
Mr.. Dulcan also told of trim
made by a member of the companys
board to Canada, to study price con-
troll there, and explained that pos
tiers had been distributed through
the store setting out that the COM
pany was complying with OPA reg
ulations to encourage" the public
TO report any violations.

Book for Workers
Tells ADVANTAGES
Of Stable Woqes

BY the Associated Press.
The Government printed thou
sands of vest-pocket-size pamphlets
today to convince workers that
wage sterilization is in both then
own and the national interest.
The tiny booklet, Your War ano
Your Wages" described the relation
OF wage sterilization to living costs
1t gave this example:
"A 10-cent-an-hour raise in nor
NAL times means that 81 more worth
OF goods can be bought on Saturday
night. But supposing that prices
meanwhile rise high enough to alb
sorb that S4-then what has been
the use of the long arguments be-
fore a Government agency to win
that 10 cents an hour? None!"

They are delighted with the
results of the difficult operations
on Bougainville, where the Japa-
nese are being given a thorough
thrashing.
Comparatively little informa-
ton is being received from the
South Pacific area. We are told
about very successful naval
battle in which our losses were
negligible.
But we hear little about the
operations of the marines who
are said to have written another
glorious chapter in the history
of that corps. The full story of
their battles and presumably
heavy casualties will be told
someday.
Cooperation Excellent.
Gable tolls apparently are too
heavy to permit detailed reports
about the epic battles of that
small but very cohesive force
which is battling our fiercest
enemy in the war.
There has been remarkably
fine cooperation between the
two independent commanders in
the South Pacific, Gen. MacAr-
thur and Admiral William Hal
sey. Although the two men tenn
peramentally are at opposite
poles, they worked together as
one.
But while Admiral Halsey has
the bulk of the United States
feet under his orders Gen. Mac
Arthur still lacks sufficient
strength TO undertake a real of
fensive which would lead into the
heart Of the enemys main de-
fense ring, either the Philippines
Or some of the major islands in
the Netherlands Indies.

sidy forces have clammed up. They
are going to kll subsidies by not
talking about them, and by not
listening to arguments for them.
Already Successful.
Even a very moderate use of sub
sides, to roll back the prices of
meat and butter 10 per cent, and
to reduce retail charges for a few
other foods, cut the cost of living
IA points during this last summer.
We actually cut the cost of living
during war!
That startling statement ought
to bring some sort of response. But
one doesn't even hear an echo. Why
is everybody so quiet? Speak!
Please, won't somebody say some
thing?
Like the grave. Those who want
a general price increase have chosen
to stand on their dignity, and they
simply refuse to discuss the point.
The President is making no head
way whatever.
He says that by spending $780,
100000 on subsidies we could save
billions to the consumer, and avoid

we suspect. An analysis of their
strategy indicates that after they
completed the conquest Of the
Southwest Pacific area-the
Netherlands Indies, Malaga and
Burma-they adopted an offen-
sive-defensive strategy.
Building Inner Ring.
They conquered the Solomons
belt and portions of New Guinea
merely to establish an outer de-
fensive circle while preparing
themselves to tighten their hold
on their new empire.
The Japanese strategy does not.
however, call for an overexten-
sion Of lines. The Toxic high
command believed that with far
advanced outposts they could
hold us for a sufficiently long
time to make their inner defen-
sive ring so impregnable that we
would prefer to talk rather than
force peace.
The outer defensive ring is now
collapsing. The Japanese forces
stationed in New Britain unques-
tionably will put forth as Stub
born resistance as they have Of
fered in the past and as they are
now Offering in the Solomons.
Their troops are fighting to the
bitter end. But the support sent
them from Japan is weak and
perfunctory.
Weak on Defense.
According to reports received
from the South Pacific, Gen.
Macarthur and Admiral Halsey
are convinced fully that the once
'invincible" Japs can be handled
If attacked with determination
From the experience of our men
it appears that while the Japa-
nese soldier continues TO follow
the code of never surrendering
he is not as good on the defen-
siVe as he was on the offensive.
He knows how to die but does not
know how to defend his position.
The only reason the major of
fensive which should lead us TO
the Philippines has not been
seriously considered is that there
are not enough ground troops,
not enough invasion barges and
not enough transports and other
supply ships TO permit an opera
ton against islands which are
still far from our bases in the
South PACIFIC.
And while the Joint chiefs of
staff in Washington are fully
aware of the importance of the
war against Japan, it is doubtful
that heavy reinforcements can
be sent TO the MacArthur-H Hal
Sey command TO permit them TO
do more than they are doing at
present.
