St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-12-29

The Concert Bowl-under tina
name-was "inaugurated" by Miss
Anderson at a concert here several
years ago, which was also under
Mrs. SCOTS sponsorship. Since
that time the Concert Bowl has
been utilized with great success
for music events, and earlier this
season held sell-out houses for the
first two artists in Mrs. SCOTS
series.
Mail order reservations for Miss
Anderson's recital are being re-
ceived at Mrs. SCOTS office now,
at 813 Northwestern National Bank
Building, Minneapolis.
The voice of Miss Anderson has
made the world her abode. Still,
when her seasons travels are done
and she returns from the seventy
odd cities on her concert itinerary,
like pigeon she heads for "home."
And home, despite the 11O-acre
farm in Connecticut where she sum-
mers and rests, is still little two
story brick house on South Martin
Street in Philadelphia.
Her mother lives there, just
stones throw from the Union Bap-
fist Church where her now famous
daughter made, her first public ap-
pearance singing "The Lord Is My
Shepherd"

Consumer Help Needed

To insure fuel supply to all, consumers
are asked to cooperate in the following
manner:
] When you order coal, coke or briquets,
do not ask for delivery until your bin will
hold that delivery without the necessity of
an extra man being sent out to shovel back
the coal already in the bin, to make room
for the new delivery.
2 On the other hand, please do not wait
until you are almost out of fuel before you
place the order. Give your dealer at least
10 days notice in advance of actual needs.
, If the ground is frozen and it is possible
to drive over your lawn to reach the delivery
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-12-29

there's plenty of coal in dealers yards.
but the problem is to get it delivered.
Manpower shortage is serious. Coal
dealers have far fewer truck drivers and
delivery helpers than ever before. 1t is i'm
possible to hire more men. The situation
has become so serious that careful planning
of delivery schedules will have to be made
to insure adequate deliveries of fuel to all
users.

LESS0N-SERM0N
ON CHURCH NAME

''CHRITIAN SCIENCE" wa S
the subject Of the Lesson-Sermo7
In all Christian Science churches
and societies yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Isaiah
2::5. 20 house of Jacob, come ye,
and let us walk in the light of the
Lord"
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Bible:
"When Jesus came into the coasts
of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men
say that 1 the Son of man am?
And Simon Peter answered and
said, Thou art the Christ, the Son
of the living God. And Jesus
answered and said unto him, Bless
ed art thou, Simon Barjona: for
flesh and blood hath not revealed
it unto three but my Father which
is in heaven. And I say unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock 1 will build my church. Mat-
thew is: 10, Is, II, 10 to 22).
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian lie n C e textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: &c. . Jesus proposed found
ing his society, not on the personal
Peter as a mortal, but on the God
power which lay behind Peters
confession of the true Messiah. It
was now evident to Peter that di-
vine Life, Truth, and Love, and
not human personality, was the
healer of the sick and rock, a
firm foundation in the realm Of
harmony. The supremacy Of Spirit
was the foundation on which Je-
sus built page 1887.

GERMANS, FRENCH
PARTISANS BATTLE

PORT BOU, Spain, June 25-(P-
Reports reaching Spain from
France tonight told of German
victory over French Maquis, or
partisan forces, il one Jura noun
tain town but said the battle was
but one of many raging between
the harassed Nazis and southern
French volunteer forces.
The Germans succeeded In
breaking the Maquis' hold on the
town of Oyon1ax, where French pa
triots had trapped several hundred
collaborationist militiamen, but lost
six armored cars to the Maquis'
version of the Molotov cocktail,
these reports said.
A third Of the 300 militiamen
holding out in the town were killed
or wounded during the four-day
siege which was broken Wednes-
day night, it was reported, and the
patriot forces slipped into the
mountains opposite the Swiss from
tier when their hold was broken.
Reports of continued desertions
from Vichy militia forces continued
to trickle across the border. Col
laboratio:1ists forces in the Tou-
louise region were said to have been
reduced to less than a half of their
pre-invasion strength by deser-
lions to the Maquis or by the
simple disappearance of militia
men too well known as collabora-
tionists to join the Maquis but
who hope to vanish into civilian
life outside their known haunts.
Maquis forces occupy a consid-
cradle area in the region of south
ern France opposite the Spanish
border, und are reported to be
holding long stretch of the Per-
pignan-Puigcerda Folk railroad.
No trains have passed through
Cerdagne on the frontier in sew
eral days.

Willkie Undecided About
1914 Presidential Drive

NEW YORK, June Is. - P =
Wendell L. Willkie, Republican 194(
presidential nominee, said today
he had not yet reached decision
concerning his plans for the 1914
presidential campaign.
He made the statement in an in
terview in which he said that Rus
sell w. Davenport, his 1910 cam
paign coordinator, was expressing
"his own, not my" views in 9
speech and interview at Hartford
Conn.,, last night.
Davenport was quoted as say
ing he Davenport would not sup
port the Republican party this yea1
if Gov. Thomas E. Dewey were
nominated or if he were unconvinc
ed by the party's platform anc
candidate that it would crusade fol
world freedom.
"Mr. Willkie and I have beer
close for many years and our views
are pretty much the same," Dav
export added.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-29

that vast majority of voters favor the
program Of the Temporary Council on
Food for Europe's Children. DR.. Howard
E. KerShner, Chairman Of the Council,
has been urging the Administration to
take immediate action to save the children,
and half q million letters have reached
Washington officials appealing for food
for the starving children. Only the mis-
taken belief that the Germans may seize,
or appropriate the food supplies accounts
for any opposition.
For nearly two years food has been
sent through the blockade to Greece. A
fifty percent increase in the monthly
sendings has just been announced. This
raises the total to 1000 tons per month.
It would seem to be just as important to
save the children Of Norway, Holland,
Belgium and France and the other coun-
tries as the children Of Greece.
DR.. KerShner was Director Of Relief in
Europe for the American Friends Service
Committee 1939-42. He points out that
experience in Greece and France has
shown that child feeding does not bene-
fit the enemy directly or indirectly. The
State Department and the Ministry OF
Economic Warfare in London agrees that
the Germans do not take any Of this food.
Furthermore, it is so closely controlled
that it does not enable the Germans to
take more of the local food. There is
much reason to believe that it would
shorten the war by giving courage and
strength to those who fight for us. A
man will take far gerater risks against
the common enemy when he knows that
his children will be fed regardless Of his
own fate.
The food would go in neutral ships
which cannot be hired for the war effort.
It would be paid for by the occupied
countries themselves and no foods needed
by ourselves or our Allies would be used
only surplus stocks available in South
America, Africa and elsewhere. There
would seem to be every reason Of strategy
ard humanity why these children should
be fed, before it is too late.

Finland's Choice

The Finnish government has made a
bad choice. After two months OF nego-
tiations with Russia - negotiations
marked by generous peace terms and
great deal of patience on Russia's part
Finland has decided to gamble on Ger
man victory or, at worst, separate Ger
man-Russian peace. Stockholm reports
that Conservatives in the Finnish gov
eminent are impressed by Germany's
"unbroken" military strength, great
stamina, and firm faith in victory. Where
these qualities have carried the NaziS
since Stalingrad seem to leave the Con-
ServativeS unimpressed. They feel, &C
cording to the Swedish story, that time
is working in Finlands favor. But this
Is a long gamble and tn ecards are run
ming the other way. Time can also bring
to Finland the mighty weight Of a full
Russian assault It can bring devasta-
ton to her cities, enormous casualties,
occupation, a dictated peace. All this
may be some time in coming, but it can
come If Russia chooses, and the Finnish
government will have invited it.
There is little doubt that Finland has
also suffered a loss Of international
prestige by this decision. Here in America
the public and diplomatic attitude to-

in with Germany, the United States did
not declare war. The unofficial con-
sensus then seemed to be that the course
was inevitable. Finland hoped to regain
.cst territory. And if she did not ally
&ecself with Germany, Germany would
probably invade, use, and Nazify the
country anyway. So Finland and Ger
many are fighting their war with Russia,
and they are losing it.
Finland had the chance Of reasonable
and honorable peace. Russia did not ask
a change of Finnish government. Russia
would exchange the naval base OF Hang

would have ended in five years. And the
Soviet government offered to help drive
out the Germans, but only if the Firms
desired it. Finland could have started
rebuilding a peacetime prosperity while
the rest Of Europe still fought. Instead,
her government chose y, let her fall with

It's Not the Principle

Nine hundred flying instructors have
already been cut loose by the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, another 1000 are
expected to be out by June 80. A similar
number now studying to be instructors
may wind up with nobody to teach.
All this is reason enough for the House
committee investigating Civil Service to
take close look at the Womens Air Force
Service Patrol training program: 500 re-
ceiving instruction, 500 signed up and
ready. The girls ferry planes, tow tar
gets, etc. It seems foolish to pay for their
training when experienced men pilots,
unfit for combat service, are being turned
off.
It isn't the principle of the thing. It's
a matter Of Sc, SOC, 900 for WASP training.

A Thought for Today
Secretary Frank Knox

The nation has lost one of its leaders
In the death of Secretary Of Navy Frank
Knox Taking hold Of our stricken Navy
at the time of it's worst disaster, Pearl
Harbor, he welded and nurSed its might
to peak the likes of which never before
had been attained. His accomplishment
of this vital task was swift and Sure-aS
witness the battles of Coral Sea, Midway
and Guadalcanal, and the gigantic at
tacks on Truk and Paulau-and Amer
ica's sea might once again holds it's hon.
ored place.
Frank Knox in his administration of
the tremendous responsibilities OF his ca
binet position, in these times of war, acted
with the directneSS and keen forcefulneSS
of leader and so heartened the people
of this nation and the gallant men that
served under his command. Himself, a
veteran of fierce action in the Spanish
American war and the first World War
he carried the spirit, with which he had
conducted himself so honorably in those
endeavorS, into his leadership OF the coun-
trys sea strength during these critical
times. longtime president and publish
er of the Chicago Daily News, his years as
administrative head and policy maker OF
that newspaper gave him the insight and
understanding of his felloW-American
which he so ably injected into all his deal
ings with the public.
A man of strong physical proportions
and with equally strong mental capaci-
ties, Frank Knox was a leader who gave
to those he led a sense of confidence and
assurance. Yet these representative traits
were not just of a visual nature. The man
was action-and the daily victorious en-
gagements Of our Navy are proof OF this.
His was the death of typical fighting
man.

The Suffering Civilian

Probably you read the latest install
ment Of the saga Of the suffering Ameri-
can civilian - the one about the woman
who wrote to General Marshall, saking
his immediate and personal attention in
the vital matter Of her lost sleep.
It seems some soldiers were quartered
in her hotel, and they were so inconsider-
ate as to slam their doors on arising, thus
disturbing the woman and her husband
two hours before they wanted to get up.
We hope that General Marshall was
able to laugh.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-04-29

No industry is more alive to the need
for progressive postwar policies than is
railroading, judged by the advertising
the nations railways are running which
picture the many convenienceS planned
for passengers after the war. It is easy
to see that the railroads intend to do
everything in their power to make trans
portation by rail as efficient and pleasur-
able as possible.
They intend to develop their particular
field Of transportation to the maximum
in order to render the greatest public
service. Main line trains will move faster
and more frequently. More comforts and
luxuries will be provided in sleeping car
accommodations. Express and freight
traffic will undoubtedly be speeded up,
and constantly increasing attention will
be given to the special needs Of shippers
and travellers.
Railways have done magnificent war
Job. In fact, they have done what the
pessimists at the outset Of the present
hostilities said could not be- done. They
are facing the challenge Of the future
with the same determination to render
superlative service with which they faced
the challenge Of the war.
There is no reason to suppose or assume
that the railroads will not be in the front
line of progress in any matters relating
to efficiency and cOnveniences for the
travelling and shipping public in the
transportation field.

A MATTER OF PRACTICAL
JUSTICE
New York Herald-Tribune

(New York Herald Tribune)
Not only has the Medical Society
OF the County Of New York adopted
q resolution urging that more Ne
groeS be admitted to medical
schools here and to internships and
stan positions In city hospitals, but
has taken the position that race,
creed or color should not be a bar
rter to admission to membership In,
or certihcation by, any national Or
gantzation, medical or surgical.
This application Of democratic
principle to membership in a scien-
tiflc profession should command the
unqualified support Of the public
and the profession. There is now.
according to Walter Hoving, chair
man Of the United Negro College
Fund campaign, one Negro doctor
for S,125 Negroes, as compared to
one doctor for very SSO white per-
sons In the country.
Most Negro medical men come
from two Negro medical colleges
Howard University in Washington.
and MahatTy Medical College, at
Nashville - both Of which are
among the twenty-seven colleges
Joining In the United Fund appeal
next month. The arge medical
schols Of the North accept few Ne
gro students. And yet, most Ne
groeS have character attributes. In
nate courtesy, sympathy, cheerful
ness, which. other things being
equal, should recommend them as
candidates for medical training.
There are $50 Negro doctors in
this city, with its more than 458. 900
Negro population. DR.. Iago Gold
stein called ten society's plea for
wider opportunities for Negro ply
sicians matter Of practical Justice.
It Is that; and 1t is also a matter
Of helping TO improve the position
Of Negroes generally by the demo-
cratic method Of insuring them a
chance to help themselves. We hope
that the leadership Of the New
York County Society viii be, as DR..
Peter Marshall Murray, Harlem
Hospital surgeon. predicted, "of
great help in opening the doors OF
the nations colleges and hospitals
to qualified Negro physicians"
