Holy Ground

This story IS true. II is In fact
the story OF America in life and
in death. in peace ana in war. The
names are fictitious. but | know
who Lieutenant Marx is. His de-
sire for anonymity is to be honored
because he seeks no personal glory
in the normal humanities Of Ameri.
cans. | shall recite II as il came
to me without altering, a word:
David Marx. lieutenant. $, G..
was about to leave his South Paci-
iic base on a mission by air which
included certain islands, the scene
OF recent bloody combat. a young
Irish American seaman, Jim O'Con-
nell. approached him the day be-
fore the party was to start.
You're going to cover Island X,
Lieutenant Marx "
Maybe" the officer said
81 wonder" said Seaman O'Con-
nell. could you do me a great
favor. I've got two brothers
they were In the Marines. They're
buried there. Could you-if you
have time-try TO find their graves?
Roy 81. number and 10. | sure
would like to know what it's like
where they're buried
The lieutenant promised he'd
visit the. graves.
When the party reached Island
Y, Lieutenant Marx asked for an
hours leave for his personal mis-
sion. His commander insisted on
accompanying him. Together they
found the graves of the O'Connell
boys Marked by crosses. the
brothers rested side by side. On
their right and on their left were
graves marked by the Star of
David, where two Jewish boys
we're buried. Lieutenan Marx root
ed some flowers out OF the jungle,
planted them reverently on the
graves. With his small camera, he
snapped a photo OF the scene.
Back at his base, the lieutenant
had the picture developed in few
hours. He gave 1t TO Seaman
O'Connel and described the scene
to him.
The young seaman studied the
piCture-the two crosses thanked
by the Stars of David. His eyes
filled with tears as he said softly,
Gee. Lieutenant Marx. my broth
ers always did keep swell com
pany.'
hope this story is read by those
who desecrate graves, who paint
swastikas on synagogues and ham,
mers and sickles on Catholic
Churches. | hope ii will be read
by those who believe that there
are deep. sinister movements Of
hate that influence and affect our
people. hope that it will be read
by those who are thriving on the
cultivation of hate-hate OF the
Jew, hate of the Catholic. hate OF
the protestant, hate for hates sake.
This is living example OF a re-
lection of hate. II is as true as
Abies Irish Rose. II Is as true
as Al Smith. 1t is as true as Arch
bishop Spellman's attack on anti
semitism. 1t is as true as the
McCosker-Hershfield Foundation in
which an lrishman and Jew have
Joined in a great charity. 1t Is as
true as Franz Werfel's Song OF
Bernadette" written by a Jew, d.
rected by Jew, produced by a
company headed by a Jew and a
Greek Orthodox and yet the great.
est tribute to Roman Catholicism.
II is as true as the normal whole
some American way OF life, the
basis Of which has always been re-
spect for differences; respect for
the conscience of the individual.

many fronts, when they return.

and since in some ways the results
were surprising to me / venture to
lay them before you.
One day faithfully made a list
of every morsel | had TO eat. After
breakfast | wrote down the items
and their weight. Same with lunch
and dinner-fapres midi dun die
tician. | want TO emphasize that |
made no plans for what ! should
cat. | ate what was put before me
or, in the case of lunch, what |
chose. No foreordained plan was
made for a balanced diet, or the
inclusion of the vitamins or min
erals or other protective food. 1t
was as nearly as possible the same
average kind of food | have on
other days left to custom, appe-
tite and chance.
Then | made a list of the food
elements that arc agreed upon as
constituting a balanced diet, and
the daily requirements by weight
considered necessary by the best
authorities.
A Balanced Diet
Here they are:
The bdsic foods - Protein - so
TO 100 grams. Carbohydrate and
Fat - enough with protein to
make up 1900 to 2500 calories.
MincrGls-Salt (5 grams). CAL
cium CAS- gram). Phosphorus
r go gram. Sulphur Il gram).
Iron COOS gram. Magnesium,
iodine, etc.-traces.
Vitdmins-A $500 units); b
consisting of thiamine Il to 2
millgrams) and ribofavin (,002
gram; C COS gram; d (for
adults 3 units); nicotine col
mgD E, H, X, requirements not
determined.
Some of the results surprised
me. Especially the total calorie
and protein intake. had sup
posed | was eating about $500
calories. had believed the gov
eminent estimated allowances of
1900 Galleries a day for sedentary
bloke like me and 2000 for a work
er were too low. But my calorie
intake for that day which COM
pletely satisfied my appetite and
made me comfortable was about
1900 calories.
have always supposed / ate at
least $50 grams of protein a day,
and have been very scornful of
strict nutritionists who say so to
20 grams are enough. | recognize
that a man can live on 80 grams
of protein a day, but did not think
that was a desirable maximum.
My own intake amounted to only
73 grams. And l guess l do not
eat much more other days.
The other calculations did not
surprise me so much, but may be
a surprise to others who are arti-
ficially stuffing themselves with
vitamins, iron, etc. My iron re-
quirement is 6 milligrams a day.
! took in twenty times that
amount! | got twice my iron re-
quirement in my egg at breakfast.
/ got little more calcium than
i needed. My phosphorus intake
was close TO the minimum require
lment. / was lower in that than
anything.
As to vitamins, l am flooded
with them. l took in 1890 of A,
and ! only need 1900; enough B
thiamine and ribofavin; three
times as much c as requirements
demand, and sunshine will give me
plenty of d.
And again I emphasize did not
plan the meals to get large vita
min or mineral content They just
came naturally in the food that
was set before me.
