 Because of this-among other | things--the ruddy-faced, Sandy- haired general was the first Marine airman to reach the rank of major general,
 Rowell in on interview here said he first demonstrated dive-bomh- ing teehlques to the Navy In prac- tlce Inaneuvers off the California coast in 1925, He used them in ac. tual war conditions for the first time however, during the Nicaragu- an campaign of 1927,
 It was in Nicaragua also that Powell pioneered in combat air transport, hauling In supplies to the front line and bring out wounded over jungle-covered mountain ooun- try.
 First Ocean Transports
 Powell sent out the first trans ports destined to cross an ocean in World War IT, They went directly from San Diego, Cal, to Guadala canal. Since then he has super vised the ferrying of more than l2S transports to the South Pacific,
 Until few weeks ago, Rowell was commander of Marine Aviation with the Pacific Fleet. His planes took part in the attacks on Wake and Midway. They made headlines more recently by hitting at Saipan and the palaus,
 For his work in the Pacific, Row ell was given the Legion of Merit by Adm. Chester w. NimitS, Pacific Fleet Commander, He has lS other decorations including the Navy Dis- tinguished Service Medal; the Dis tinguished Flying Cross; the Cuban Modification Medal the Marine; Corps EXpeditionary Medal with two stars the Second Nicaraguan Cam paign Victory Medal with clasp, the World War IT American Sector Dec- oration; the World War II ASiatic Sector Decoration; the Emergency Service Badge; the Niearaguan Me- dal of Merit with two stars; the Ni- caraguan Medal of Distinction, and the Cuban Order of Merit, First Glass.

 Roweu was on attache of the U, s, Embassy in London for four months of i94l. lie also served with the Royal Air Force In Lybia and Crete and observed the syrian campaign,
 whenever there Is heavy bombing raid, am sure to be there," he said,
 Rowell arrived in London for the only big raid of the summer foio4l and was in Chungking for the first heavy aerial bomhardment there.
 Powell said the only interview he ever regretted giving was to Major Udet, the German ace reported to have built up the Luftwaffe.
 The interview occurred In the late '20s when Powell was touring the country in command of the famous Hell Divers Squadron of the Marine Corps, which staged demonstrations of dive bombing for American aiT shows at that time.
 Major Udet, then visiting in this country seemed most interested in the new technique. Powell said and is reported to have developed the Stuka from ideas he got while watching the Hell Divers.

FOURTH TROJAN HORSE:
 RACIAL FRICTION

The men of the secret general staff rely on the racial prejudice which is in oil Of us, whether we will admit 1t or not or whether we even know 1t, We hetray 1t unwit- tingly public and private conver- sations: "Oh, he Is a Jew, but very nice" or He's 0 good soldier for 0 Negro" Then there are the "ar- rogant" Englishman, the lazy" Ital- ian, the mysterious" (meaning un- trustworthy Chinese, the "sex-nad'' Frenchman. All these mistaken con. cepts provide 0 fine culture for the Nazi virus.
 Race friction in the United States which has reached the explosion polnt, for example among factory workers under wartime stresses, has delighted the Germans. Whether or not the friction is instigated or en- courRged by disguised Nazi agents in the United States, as the so- journer Truth riots were said to be, every such racial rift is another wedge into the unity of the Ameri- can people.

EIGHTH TROJAN HORSE: ONLY GERMAN INDUSTRIES CAN RERTJII.D EUROPE


 While American, British, and Rus- sian planes were bombing the in- dustrial centers of Germany, ono could hear well-meanlng people urge that they must quickly be re- built for the rehabilitation of the rest of Europe,
 They were unwittingly further ing the pam German cause.
 How many of us said, we must help the French to get back from the Germans the machinery stolen from their factories"9 Or We must help them rebuild their ruined in- dustrlai plants"2 Or the Poles2 And what about the Czech industriesp Why must German industries supply most of the manufacturers for Eur. opc The very core of the Nazi plan to make Europe c German contin. ont centered around domination by dcrman industry, reiegating all oth- or countries to raw material or ag- rlcultural supply areas.

SIXTH TROJAN HORSE: WE MUST BE CHRISTIAN"

We have already been subjected to Nazi propaganda about who started the war; sometimes 1t Is the Jews, then again British ira- periaiisri making us pull English chestnuts out of the fire; 1t is often laid at the door of big busi- nesg-but never, no, never is 1t the Germans.
 The Germans didn't want the war, we are told; it was forced upon them. Therefore we must be very kind to then or they will revolt.
 We hear also great deal about the difference between the Nazis and the Germans. But the secret general staff who spawned the Nazis, and the Nazls themselves, are Germans. And they have deci- mated the decent elements of the population with cold precision. z There has been enough volun. tary co-operation with the Nazis among the German people to make it imperative for us to re main on guard for years to come.
 Any attempt to belittIe or gloss over the dark deeds Of the uer- man against citizens of foreign lands, and against some of their own cOuntrymcn, would be to, throw away tho peace iil advance.

FIFTH TROJAN HORSE: GERMAN SUPERIORITY

Just aS the professional soldier could not but be impressed by Gerr man Blitzkrisgs, SO the school teach. CT, the professor, who went to Ger. many was often deeply impressed by the regimentation of youth which made the youth suh-leader and the Nazi teacher more powerful than the family.
 Travelling about in the United States, have been struck by the number of university students and graduates who argue for the Ger man cause--often indoctrinated by professors trained in German uii- versailles,
 Look at the great achievements of German scientists, German in. ventorS," we hear, from people who think of the other fellow be- fore their duty to their own peo- pie.

UNCONVENTIONAL Unity
Is Keynote Of Sermon
AT AII-Faith Service

The destiny of the Christian
churches in our time is to bring the
worldwide expansion of Christian
ity into coordination with the idea
Of unity Of the various denomina-
tons, the Rev. DR.. Henry P. Van
Dusen Of the Union Theological
Seminary, New York, yesterday told
more than 1000 persons at the all
faith service at the Washington
Cathedral. The ecumenical service
was sponsored by the World Coun-
Gil of Churches Committee of the
Washington Federation of Churches.
Declaring the two great religious
events Of the last century and the
flrst Is years Of our century were
the widespread expansion of Chris
tianity and the start of the CONSOLE
dalton Of the numerous Protestant
churches into single unit, DR.. Van
Dusen asserted the preliminary
achievement of the latter was within
sight when the war began. only in
our day has Christianity become a
world religion" he emphasized, ex-
planning that only in our day has
the Christian religion become in a
significant sense the world religious
unit"
DR.. Van Dusen pointed out that
the war has given us three great
lessons. 1T is record of Christian
churches rather than of individuals
doing their part in the conflict. It
Is record of Christian living in
which vivid consciousness of mem
bership in a world community is
felt. It is a record of a world COM
munity being brought into being as
. direct result of the Christian
world"
The joint service began with a
professional hymnfl which was fol-
lowed by an Act of Alteration and
Praise. An Act of Penitence and
Pardon" which had been used at
the opening service of the Edin-
burgh World Conference in 1887
then was read, after which read
ings from the Old and New Tesla
ments were given.
A fellowship of prayer and a
hymn, Martin Luther's "A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God" were followed
by DR.. Van Dusen's sermon. The
offering, the doxology, an act of
tntercession and prayers for our
present need preceded the closing
prayer and blessing. A occasional
hymn ended the service.
Clergymen participating in the
service and the churches they rep
resented were the Rev. George An
derson, Disciples of Christ; the Rev.
Albert Mccartney, Presbyterian; the
Revs. John Rustin and Robert M.
Williams, Methodist; the Rev. M.
Chandler Stith, Baptist and the
Rev. Theodore o. Wedel, Episcopal.
DR.. Frederick E. Reissig, executive
secretary of the Federation of
Churches, represented the fedora
ton.
The reading of THE Lords Pray
er" was given in seven languages,
clergyman speaking one part of the
prayer in his language and the wor-
shippers repeating the lines in Eng
fish. Those participating in this
part OF the service and the language
they spoke were the Rev. Charles
Enders, German; the Rev. Charles
Y. Aznakian, Armenian; the Rev.
Florian Vurpillot, French; the Rev.
Olindo Marseglia, Italian; the Rev.
G. c. Hung, Chinese; the Rev. Lewis

 Mccarthy gave his pistol to one man and his carbine to another He was weaponless in the battle until one of his men handed him a Jap pistol T took it for granted it was loaded and in working order, he said, land not until after the battle did I learn it was frozen harder than ice. It was just plain luck I didn't have to use it."
 Sillman likewise armed himself with a Jap pistol which wouldn't work and discarded it for big hunk of coral in his right first which he explained would have "at least distracted" the Japs and given him time to duck if he got in a tight spot"

 ROLLING ON
Landings Made by Tanks on New Guinea s Vo-

ADVANC NCED ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW GUN E A, Aug. 1.-Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Philippines-bound juggernaut roil- ed onto the beaches of New Guineas Vogelkop Peninsula, 50 miles north of Sorong and more than halfway back to Davao in the Philippines, early Sunday.
 The landing was made in the bleak morning hours and caught the Japs completely by surprise, and by mid-morning two islands offshore were secured.
 The landing was made after a 200-mile hop up the New Guinea coast to the little Dutch village of Sansapor, the Americans by passing Manokwair and isolating the Jap garrison of 15,000.
 This is the last operation in the New Guinea campaign for control of the entire north coast, and 1t is not ecessary to go ahead and take -rIrong, as there is no need for it, the spokesman said.
 Sansapor is 60 miles northeast of Sorong, once major Jap base

Hegsiad Home |sDesfroYedb by
 Fire Last Night

A raging fire, caused by the ex- plosion of an oil stove, completely gutted the home of Oscar Hegstad last evening. Bremen, who were called to the Gastineau and Rawn- way residence just before 6 o'clock by the 3-3 alarm, battled the blaze for more than an hour before it could be extinguished.
 Lois Hegstad was the only per son in the house at the time, the other children being outdoors, and MT. Hegstad at the Peerless Bakery, where he is employed as driver. She was, fortunately, in another room when the range, which was turned on low, suddenly exploded, sending a shower of fire through out the building. Miss Hegstad was able to get out, but a mother cat and baby kitten perished in the flames.
 The house, which was owned by Mrs. D. Rosenberg, was covered by insurance, but the Hegstads carried none on their personal possessions. The full loss has as yet not been estimated.
