Pope Leaves Vatican
To Give Thanks al
IChurch in Rome
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, June l2.-Pope Plus XII
emerged from the Vatican late
yesterday to give thanks to the
Madonna of Divine Love that Rome
had been spared.
Virtually a prisoner during the
German occupation, the holy father
left the Vatican In a small auto
mobile, followed by two other cars
containing guards and attendants,
The party drove through Rome to
the Jesuit Church Of st, Ignatius,
where the Pope prayed before the
painting of the Madonna.
Earlier the Pope received more
than 5000 Allied soldiers at an au-
dinece and gave them his blessing
after addressing them In English
and French.
Earlier in the war pious Romans
started going in large numbers to
pray before an old oil painting
of the Madonna of Divine Love
which had long hung in the church
1t was to this symbol more than
any other that Romans turned TO
beg that their city be not destroyed
AS the war came closer to Rome
the painting was removed to a shrine
near Albano and people swarmed
there daily to pray before it. Many
bombs fell near the shrine, but il
was undamaged.
Since the Allied occupation, the
painting has been returned to Rome
and yesterday the Pontlf himself
recognized the devotion of the
people to the Virgin by his visit to it.
The trip gave the Pope his first
closeup view Of Rome under the
Allied occupation. He passed many
American soldiers so closely they
could have touched him, but few
realized the identity of the red-clad
figure.
AS the Pontiff was entering the
Hall of Benedictions, technicians
turned on the loudspeaker system
and, through some technical error,
it burst out with lively music being
broadcast by the Rome radio. The
music died away quickly, however,
as the Pope assembled the throne.
Meanwhile, nearly 10000 soldiers
of the 5th Army offered prayers of
thanks for their victory at a great
mass in the Church of st. Mary of
the Angels while Italians in count
less other churches expressed their
gratitude that Rome had been
spared.
1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark, with
French and United States members
OF his staff, attended the mass of
thanksgiving, taking their places in
the sanctuary beside Eugene Cardi-
nal Tisserant, who presided.
Opposite them were diplomats ac-
credited to the Vatican and other
dignitaries. The nave of the mas
sive church was packed with Ameri-
cans, British and French

proved, the prosperity of the county
has increased.
In spite of the fact that citizens
of Ava express great satisfaction
with their town, they will tell you
that the New Deal has made sad in
roads upon their way of life. WPA,
PWA, AAA, CCC, and other alpha
bette agencies have gone long way
toward making the poorer people OF
the county too lazy to work, they
declare, and the 'intolerable" inter-
ference of the OPA with farmers and
shopkeepers almost incites rebellion.

Democrats did not carry Douglas

CAL" he said. cts hereditary
right in the blood. Take my own
case. My father used to tell me
how he thought of the D. Rebels
and the Democrats as one and the
same. This country is peopled by
men and women who came from
the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky
and they're very Independent. The
upper part of the state was settled
by slavers, who brought their slaves
up the river from the South. We've
always disliked slavery here.
The story is similar to that one
hears in other rural districts. Large
sums of money spent on roads con-
sidered unessential are mentioned.
Subsidies are abhorred. But the
biggest headache is OPA, which
places restrictions upon the ham
ding of foods grown in the county,
and makes it necessary for country
storekeepers to keep records they
consider outrageously unnecessary.
One might easily gather the inn
preston that the New Deal was an
unmitigated evil, except for bits of
praise that are slipped in between
the many hard words. For instance:

FSA Farmers Tell
Their Own Stories

lake Farmer "A, a man about SU
years old, who in 1910 owned seven
cows and was capable and ready to
work, but could not obtain a loan
from the banks because he bore the
stigma of having been WPA work
er. The WPA was laying off men.
Farmer A, when he was turned
down by the bankers, went to Mr..
Mullins. He obtained a loan of $275,
which set him up with two full-bred
Jersey cows, pigs, farm machinery,
and fertilizer. Mostly with his axe,
he built himself a snug log barn. He
also enlarged his chickenhouse.
He had great energy and will
and his estate grew. When his pure
bred cows brought increase, he sold
his scrub cows, and now has six
cows worth about 500 each, young
pure-bred bull, lot more pigs and
chickens, fields that have been ferti-
lzed for two years, and wire fences.
He is well on the road to becoming
a prosperous farmer.
Z. Take Farmer B. He was in the
other day to pay off $3.50 more on his
$667 in FSA loans. Now he owes
only $219 on the principal. When he
got his first loan in 1899 he owed
$3.50 on the place he had bought from
a brother. He was figuring up his
net worth a few days ago and it
came almost to $4,000. His brother
has a very similar story.
These examples are not exception
al among the more than 500 farmers
whom FSA has helped to get
start, or new start, in Douglas
county. They were selected at ran
dom. Others visited had similar ex-
periences. FSA helps them make
definite plans for farming and home
building. Of course, not all FSA
loans are successful but neither are
all bank loans. FSA, however, is
far more interested in building in
dependent citizens than profits-and
the record in Douglas county under
George Mullins is exceptional.
But the Ozarks resist change. Fer
tilization Of fields, up-breeding of
stock, contouring of farms, have
hard Shedding. So do Innovations in
government. And then when OPA
comes along and tells them they are
criminals if they slaughter pigs for
their own tables, the reaction is
terrific.
Outside Of Ava-out in the hills
many of the people are much more
friendly to the alphabetic agencies
than in the town-but the many irri-
tations of federal supervision have
made most Of them return to the
Republican fold.

 WRITES LETTER FROM
 FRANCE TO PAREh1S

One of the first letters datelined Somewhere in France" since the First World War has reached the Juneau parents of Jake Cropley. Jr., who was with the amphibious forces who stormed the beaches of Nor mandy early this month. The letter, dated June A, reads in part:
 T am feeling quite well and as usual having quite time. It IS stlll a little rough here now and then. I saw things I didn't care to, but at the same time you're so scared you don't know what to do, so you just take it easy and that's a job.
 T guess the main thing is to stay here till the jobs done and done right. They can't move us now"
 Pvt, Cropley indicated that he had been too busy to write before, and said he would have liked to see the newspapers back home the day the big show" started.
 There's a lot I'd like to say, but darned if I can think right now, the letter continues, there's lot of planes flying around upstairs, and it's still kind of noisy.
 "Hows the old mans boat getting along? I hope to take it out again.
 Pvt. Cropley is the son of MT. and Mrs Jake Cropley of Juneau. He obtained his basic training in South Carolina, where he remained for eight months before being sent overseas.

 Next and final aim for young Linehan is the Distinguished Rifle man Qualification.
 To win the expert rating Charles had to prove his ability in the stand ing position, most difficult of all shooting positions. Using the stan dard MIRA 50-foot gallery targets on which the bulls-eye is actually smaller than .22 caliber bullet, Charles was required to average at least 80 per cent accuracy for 50 shots.
