MeNuH Calls for Support
|0f Easter Seals Sale

Declaring that the war has given
fresh meaning to the Importance
of aiding the cure of crippled chil-
dren, Paul v. McNutt, Federal Sc
curity administrator, yesterday
called upon the Nation to give full
support to the annual Easter seals
sale of the National Society for
Crippled Children.
In speech broadcast over the
Columbia Broadcasting System, Mr..
McNutt, who also heads the War
Manpower Commission, said that
the high rate of reflections for
physical disability by the armed
forces indicates that better care in
childhood would have made sub
stantial cut In this disturbing total"
There are approximately $500 >
crippled children registered with
various agencies throughout the
country, and many thousands more
who are not registered with any
organization. Mr.. McNutt said.
1T Is just plain common sense
to say nothing of common human
kindness-to attack early-to let no
child grow up with handicap that
medical science can minimize or
remove" Mr.. McNutt said.

ican citizens lived 1000 miles away
and had to travel over nearly i'm

registration. One was a priest who
came by motorcycle and offered to
volunteer as a chaplain.
In the Society Islands of the
South Pacific, an American citizen
finally brought his schooner into
Tahiti. where he was registered.
Some men renounced their Amer

who later returned to their native
lands.
In other cases, however, men at

as the men began to fight their way
up from the forward torpedo room

watched the depth gauges winding

how far down they went after that
nobody knows. More depth charges
came down, but it is probable that
even the smartest German did not
know more about the submarine &

They escaped by plowing through
a mine field, running on the port

were doing all right for while until

Nearly $4,000 American citizens
living all over the world, many of
them in remote outposts, have reg
istered in the last few months for
possible military service, according
to National Selective Service an
nouncement.
Because of lack of communica-

out f-the-way places, selective
service said, men still are appearing
at consular offices to be registered
for the draft. Those who have no

Selective service told of one man
living far back in the hills of
Northwestern India. The consular

despite a partially paralyzed leg
and arm.

LONDON, Mar. l3.-Something of
what is being done by submarines
the forgotten weapon of this war
is revealed today in the story of the
H. M. S. Stubborn, which for no
reason at all is stin afloat.
Her adventure seems to recall
some of its like among American
subs in the Pacific, with this Diff
ference: The British think that
publication of such exploits con-
tributes something to the morale
OF the people and the Navy, whereas
on our side of the Atlantic, sub
marines are unmentionable in polite
society.
There is no lack of details in the
story of the Stubborn as outlined
by 1t. A. A. Duff, her commander.
You learn with surprise that Brit
ish submarines are subject to the
same difficulties as ours and the
Germans, and presumably the Japa-
nese. Depth charges bother them,
diving planes sometimes attack
them, they get out of order, and in
the darkness and turmoil a few
magnificently trained men make
up for all this with extemporaneous
miracles.
The Stubborn got into trouble
along an enemy coast" when she
ran into q convoy close inshore,
maneuvered into position and sank

Pope Asks Both Sides
To Spare Rome and
Work for Just Peace
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Mar. 13.-Pope Plus
XII, speaking to a great throng
massed in st. Peters Square and
to radio listeners around the
world, appealed to Allied and
German leaders yesterday to
spare Rome and to strive for a
peace of liberation.
Speaking on the fifth anniversary
OF his coronation, the pontiff re-
ceived a tremendous ovation from
the throng which had been as
sembling for hours before he ap-
peared on the balcony.
How could we believe that
any one might dare to turn Rome,
this almighty city which belongs to
all fronts and to all places, and to
which the Christian and civilized
world is looking for light, into
theater of war, thus perpetrating
an act Of militarily inglorious and
abominable in the eyes of God and
OF a humanity conscious of the
highest spiritual and moral values?'
the Pope asked.
He urged rather that leaders of
the belligerent nations work for
peace which will free mankind
from all internal and external vio-
lence so that they may be remem-
bered in benediction, and not in
malediction, for centuries on the
face of the earth"
The Pope described the plight of
Rome, which Is now occupied by
the Germans and toward which the
battle lines have been creeping, as
especially grave" and he appealed
TO all those who have means to
help, either with material contri-
buttons, or with the help of active
work, not to deny their efflcacious
support and assistance"
He said towns were stricken "in
nearly every continent by an aerial
war which does not recognize any
law or restraint, already a terrible
indictment against the cruelty Of
such methods. ="
The bells of Rome's hundreds of
churches pealed for five minutes
before the Pope spoke The Vatican
radio announcer described the audi
ence as "burdened with suffering" in
contrast to the happy throngs which
heard the Pope in past years.
The Vatican radio said the usual
papal service in the Sistine Chapel
was Cancelled and that the celebra-
ton in connection with the an
niversary would not assume the
character OF feast day in view of.

Pope's Years Of Wor|
For Peace Recalled
By Msgr. Shehan

Pope Plus XII has pointed the
way toward the new world men
must build after the war is over,
the Very Rev. Msgr. Lawrence j.
Sheehan, pastor Of st. Patrick S
Catholic Church and director of
Washington Catholic Charities, yes
terday told 1900 worshippers at the
National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception, Catholic University, at
service marking the fifth ami
versary of the Pontiff's coronation.
Declaring Pope Plus on ascending
the throne Of ST. Peter saw every-
where the need of fixed principles
OF morality to serve as a pattern for
private life and as a framework for
social relationships" while at the
same time "he beheld the worlds
moral structure shaken and rent to
its very foundations, Msgr. She
han said the pontiff worked to bring
order out OF chaos before civilization
collapsed. His first step was to
point out the central cause of the
trouble, the denial and rejection of
a universal form of morality"
Recalls 1889 Allocutions.
Msgr. Shehan pointed out that the
Polntiff had enumerated the condi-
tlons for just peace in his Christ
mas allocutions of 1899, the most
important conditions being "the as
surance for all nations great and
small OF their life and independence:
the delivery of nations from the
slavery imposed by the race for
ornaments and from the danger
that material force may become an
overbearing and tyrannical master.
the reorganization of international
LIE and the erection OF some juri-
dical institution which shall guar
antee the loyal and faithful full
f1llment OF conditions agreed upon
by nations; the recognition of the
real needs and just demands of ma
tions and populations and of ra-
cial minorities."
In 1912 the Pope supplemented
these points with items he called
the first steps in the path to
peace" These were based upon the
concept that peace and order must
be based on moral law" Msgr. She
han said.
Fears for Rome.
Commenting on the devastation
wrought by bombings at Warsaw,
Rotterdam, Cologne, Mainz and
Coventry among other places, Msgr.
Shehan added who can bear to
ponder the awful fate which seems
to hang over the Holy City itself?"
Yet, ''in this frightful scene, where
the hearts Of men have veered from
fear and terror to anger, to conf
dent courage, to Hatred and desire
for revenge, our Holy Fathers has
been the one constant voice pro-
claiming the eternal truth of the
moral law by which all men at all
times are bound. In a world Of
darkness and chaos from the torch
committed to his hand, and from it
alone, has shone upon the whole
world the unsullied light of the nat
ural law and the Christian revela-
tion."
The Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni
Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the
United States, presided at the SOL
emn high mass and the Right Rev.
Msgr. Edward B. Jordan, university
vice rector, was celebrant.

must be spared from destruction
because 1t is neutral state, the
most Rev. j. Francis A. Mcintyre,
auxiliary bishop Of New York, said
yesterday.
The city should be spared, he told
the New York Chapter of the Asso-

symbol of civilization, but because
it had "all the rights of a neutral

sub hit bottom.
The chart shows no shallow
patch anywhere in the deep water
OF that area" 1t. Duff said, but
we touched bottom and the Stubborn
bumped the sea bottom four times
before coming to rest. Many more
depth charges were dropped, very
close. The boat was lifted of bottom
by the explosions"
Ship Rocked Loose.
That, Of course, wasn't the end OF
it. When 1t. Duff tried to surface

back to rock the ship loose. then
accomplished the same effect by
changing the pressure alternately
in the ballast tanks. She shot up
ward at an angle of 10 degrees, with
the lieutenant lying fiat on the con-
ming tower ladder and most of the
men piled against the bulkheads.
She f1attened out somehow. The
men got themselves disentangled
and they steamed away from the
enemy coast"
There was a sequel The Stub
born's steering gear went wrong the
next day. They tried vainly to rig
up sail on the periscope shears.
They sent out a call for help and
rolled two more days in bad weather
before destroyer arrived.
On the way in 1t. Duff discovered
that by putting deep angle on the
boat he could run the port engine
and get steerage way. Which was
fortunate inasmuch as the tow line
parted and she had to sail alone
300 miles before the destroyed could
pick her up again. Concerning that
feature Of the performance, the
lieutenant said it was hardly any
thing at all.

trating an act militarily inglorious
and abominable in the eyes of God
and Of humanity conscious of the
highest spiritual and moral values?
Once again we appeal to respon-
sible men in both belligerent camps
not to let their names, in any way
be smirched by an act which his
tory would never justify. We ask
them to cast their thoughts and
deeds and effort to a peace of lib

CThe same passage, as received by
the National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil in Washington: 1--WE must there
fore appeal once again to the clear
sighted vision and wisdom of re-
sponsible men in both belligerent
camps: We feel certain that they
will not wish to nave their names
associated with a deed which no
motive could ever justify before his
tory and that they would rather
turn their thoughts, their intentions,
their desires and labors toward the
securing of peace which will free
mankind from all internal and ex-
ternal violence, so that their names
may remain in benediction and not
as a curse through the centuries on
the face Of the earth.")
Whirlwind of Suffering.
Beloved Roman people, in the
midst OF the whirlwind Of so many
suf1erings and trials, we recognize
with bitterness of mind that any
human help is unequal or inadequate
to the extent (of your sufferings)
to- alleviate which even the most
generous helping hand of man can
not sufiice.

Will give you strength to carry your
cross with warm faith and Christian
fortitude-to Jesus Christ our Lord
and Saviour.
To Him we wish to lead you. He
invites you and tells you,
Come unto Me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden and I will give
you rest" He chose to undergo the
miseries of this earthly life, suffer-

the most terrible tortures which can
be inflicted by man. He precedes
