Boys Town Founder
Extends Greetings
To Nebraska Society

Boys have transgressed laws be-
cause Of bad parents and poor en-.
vironment, Father Flanagan, foun-
der OF Boys Town, near Omaha,
Nebr., emphasized In an interview
last night after he had extended
greetings to approximately 500
members of the Nebraska State So
ciety at the Statler Hotel.
There are no bad children. but
bad adults who do not give children
proper opportunity" Father Flan-
agan said, adding that "it is not
going to be easy to improve a So
clety that has neglected God and
His spiritual teachings"
Here in connection with the foot
pail game to be played Sunday at
Grlfhth Stadium between the Bows
Town and Gonzaga High School for
the benefit of the famous Nebraska
institution, Father Flanagan re-
marked that "if We can get people
saying their prayers. we could elm
mate Juvenile delinquency, re-es-
tabllsh family home life. and pei
haps save servicemen from a We
nereal disease menace"
Says Boys Want Praise.
He estimated that from so to 65
per cent of American adults are
'neglecting God"
Boys, he added, want to be praised,
ana thanked for the things thev
90. We know from experience
"hat we can accomplish with bows
who have been neglected" he said.
Ihey want to grow up to be de-
cent citizens. They will follow the
teaching and example of those who
want to help them"
Father Flanagan pointed out that
III the 26 years Boys Town has been
operating, more than 5000 bows have
neen trained and helped by that
institution. I'VE have over 500 Of
our boys in the armed forces" he
continued. -Four are prisoners in
Japan and 13 have been killed,
In reply to a question, Father
Flanagan said he would not attempt
to speculate as 10 whether the suf-
fering and sacrifices induced by war
would make finer America in the
years Immediately ahead. II don't
know the answer, but it IS an in
teresting thought" he said.
Heavy Days Schedule.
Remarking he was tired after a
heavy days schedule that included
visit to Maryland schools, Father
Flanagan thanked the Nebraska So
clety for the reception accorded
! them and praised the spirit Of Ne

In Africa Politics

LONDON. Jan. % CUP).-MaJ.
Claude Deboislambert. who ac-
Gen. Charles de Gaulle
to the Casablanca conference, said
today there appeared 10 he good
prospects for the Fighting French
and the forces of Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud TO reach agreement
on North African political issues
soon.
(This disputed dispatches from
Algiers which said De Gaulle
had agreed only to establish
liaison and to discuss financial,
economic and military problems.
A report of press conference
held by Giraud said the generals
had agreed that politics were
"out for the duration.
Deboislambert said he believed
De Gaulle and Giraud would reach
some sort of political agreement"
and added significantly, perhaps
in the near future"

on for another generation in the remembrance of those who gave their lives for the great human ideal of liberty.
 How Day Is Observed
 This day is observed particular ly beside the graves of those who have fallen for our country on the battlefields of the world. Over each grave the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of great nation dedicat- ed to freedom. On every grave q red poppy, tossing it's gay color to the breeze as he who rests beneath tossed his young life upon the altar of liberty. By each grave prayer, something of sorrow that such sac rifice was necessary, something of thanksgiving that America breeds men so worthy of immortality. On the broad waters of the sea, a wreath; on the far wastes of dis tant deserts, a scattering of fra grant blossoms from the air-wher- ever Americans stand today, the glory of perpetual remembrance!
 ITO the spirits of our dead who rest now in so many parts of the world we can send this message Your comrades and your sons are on the march. We are coming back there to you, coming once more through the fiercenesS and fury of the battle, coming to make cer- tain and complete that for which you sacrificed and died. The soil where we laid your tired body when your task was done is sacred ground, American ground, n q America side by side with all men who love liberty and justice will re- deem it.
 There are other and newer graves very close to our hearts on this Memorial Day. The grave ot every American soldier and sailor and marine at Pearl Harbor, al Bataan, on Wake Island, Guadal- canal and in the Aleutians. In the fresh and fearless spirit bred in Q land of free men a new genera

ton of warriors has come to man. hood, and gone forth under Old Glory to the far places where des- potism, ruthleSsness and hate have again sought to tear down and de- stroy that liberty and equality to which America has led the honest and freedom loving people of the world. From the jungleS of New Guinea to the sands of the Sa- hara, to the fog -drenched Aleutians, they are carrying our banner, in many lands, on many oceans, and through many skies. And there, washed by our tears, some of these gallant sons of freedom already rest beneath white crosses. All of this we must remember today, all of this we must pledge ourselves to remember always.
 Our Dedication
 To this remembrance We must all dedicate ourselves. In doing so we may very well dedicate our selves to more than the remem- brance of sacrifice and glory. The task is not yet done, but only in l the doing Lincoln reminded us that our nation was dedicated to the proposition that all men are cre- ated equal It would seem, there 1 fore, as our young men go forth to war, incumbent upon every Am erican man and woman to become dedicated to an equal share in the supreme effort of defending | liberty, dedicated to as much serv- ice and sacrifice as can possibly be given by each in his individual capacity. It would seem to be an obligation which none should have any desire to escape. That propo- sition of equality, equal right equal justice, equal personal respon-

sibility and dignity and decency as a man walking in the image of his God, is the very foundation stone of the American republic which we propose to keep safe and glorious and free for the enjoyment of our children and our children's chll- dren. Each individual one of us has the same share in that, and in the total of those equal shares rests all the power and the glory of the United States.
 Tn that remembrance let us bow our heads today beside the resting places of our honored dead. In sorrow, yes. Tn gratitude also, that America has raised such sons. From their hands has come to us the torch of liberty. Be ours to hold 1t high"

today in solemn tribute to our soldier dead. Even as we meet here American boys, Alaska boys, are on the outermost Aleutian Islands re- affirming their faith at the ulti- mate cost in the belief that no price is too great to pay for Am ericas liberty. There are graves of American soldier dead on Attu to- day where there were none month ago. They are eloquent if mute testimonials that Americans today, as in every other day, prize their right to live as free men above life itself
 TO us in Alaska Memorial Day has never had quite the meaning that it has on this occasion. This, the greatest of all wars, is being fought in part on our own soil. War has come home to us as never before and the blessings of liberty, which perhaps did not seem so particularly important when they were not assailed, are now more important than life itself to a hun dred and thirty million Americans
