Curative Program
For Ills Of World
Urged by Churches
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. GA Protest
ant organization claiming $4,000, ,00C
members asserted yesterday that q
postwar world organization must be
curative and creative, not merely
repressive" if it is to be backed
solidly by Christian forces OF the
United States.
The Commission on a Just and
Durable Peace of the Federal Coun-
Gil Of Churches made the statement
which 1t said was approved by the
Executive Committee Of the council.
With respect to particular settle
ments there are some proposals so
clearly violative Of the moral law
that the Christian conscience could
never acquiesce therein" the state
ment said.
THE Christian people of this Ma
ton expect that their Government
will reject them and strive earnestly
and competently for particular set
Elements which will be just and con-
ducive to permanent concord"
The commission did not name the
proposals it opposed.
1t said an international organi.
zation should be designed, not te
maintain faulty world status, but
to seek inventively to eradicate
political and economic maladjust.
ments, spiritual and intellectual de.
ficiencies, and inadequacies of inter.
national law, which basically cause
war"
I'VE urge" the statement con.
tinued, "our public leaders to take
steps to endow the projected world
organization with responsibilities
that are curative and creative and
not merely repressive. That is the
only type of world organization
which, in our judgment, the Chris
tian forces of our Nation will solidly
support.
I'VE urge our people to remain
united and vigorous to achieve such
international organization and
American participation therein

90-P|ane Nazi Raid
On London Area Grim
Reminder Of BIitz
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Hundreds OF
American soldiers newly arrived In
Britain experienced. their first air
raid last night as the biggest Ger
man bombing force tn months
struck at London and Southeast
England.
Ninety enemy planes roared across
the Channel In two separate at
tacks. one before midnight and the
other in the early hours this morn
ing, to bring painful reminder of
the 1901 'blitz" even though theil
attack was comparatively small.
About 80 Of the planes reached
the London area, touching OF a
full-throated antiaircraft barrage,
the loudest and most spectacular
heard In long time.
Considerable Property Damage.
The first alert sounded at 9:1o
pm. and almost immediately guns
began booming, searchlights wove
fantastic patterns across the sky,
and the raiders rushed In so low
that their drone could be heard
through the thunder OF the guns.
Fire trucks and ambulances rush.
ing through the darkened streets
with their sirens screaming and
bells ringing added to the racket.
People crowded into shelters by
the thousands, but doughboys could
be seen clustered In little groups in
West End doorways absorbed by the
excitement of their first air attack.
Many veterans Of the blitz remained
in their homes watching the show
from windows.
The old dread was gone; London
ers found they could 60 back to
sleep. And today in buses and sub
ways they talked of "the noise"
Although 1t was a show for most
Of the observers, the raids caused
considerable property damage, q
number of casualties and grim aerial
battles. Eight Nazi planes were shot
down in the first attack, two of them
by a rookie pilot Of Mosquito.
Hospital Virtually Demolished.
An old London hospital was vir-
tQdlly uCI4IO1AC1ACu Wy q 0AACS0 AAt
which killed number Of patients
and injured many others.
Twelve firemen were buried in the
debris when their station was hit,
but they were rescued by two
women air raid wardens working by
hashlight.
Another high explosive bomb
trapped a mother and two children
In the ruins of their house and
blocked a shelter, but all were extri-
Gated.
Similar incidents were repeated
elsewhere and rescuers were forced
to dig for victims by lamplight when
electric curcuits were knocked out
temporarily.
The last raid Of comparable size
on London and its environs was
October 7, 1943, when 60 Nazi planes
dropped 80 long tons Of bombs.
There have been intermittent at
tacks Of smaller size and a few
enemy planes were over the capital
last Saturday night.

A Thought for Today
The Decision at Aachen

Hitler's decision at Aachen, made through his officers, apparently estab- aiShed the policy of Na2i resistance on which the war in Germany will be fought, 1t gave notice that every objective is to be defended to the last, With slaughter and destruction as the price for delaying the inevitable. And his decision shows that Hitler has misjudged the Americans again. He did 1t in 1883 when, as pr, Hermann Rauschning testified at the Washington Sedtion trial, he counted on being able to engineer an American reVo- lution If 1t appeared that we might join Britain in war against Germany, He still banked on disunity and the Japs to keep us out of Europe after Pearl Harbor, At Aachen he seemed to think that the Americans, whom he aovertiSeS to his people as "Yankee barbarianS," would be too Soft-hearted, or too weak in strength and purpose to go through with their ultimatum Again he was wrong, The Americans took no joy In destroying much of the city of Charlemagne, They gave the enemy a chance to withdraw from and preserve the city and It's cultural monuments" over which pr, GoebbelS has already wept so much,
 But 1t so happens that Aachen, besides being the city of Charlemagne, Is also the front door to Cologne and the first stop in Germany on the highroad to Berlin, The choice was for Germans, not Americans, to make. But If Hitler thinks that he can try to make Stalingrad out of every SiZable city In Germany It Is clear that he is making another of his egregous mill. tary blunders. For Germanys overall position is more desperate than Russias ever was, And the spirit of the Germans is not the Russian spirit,
 Even at Leningrad and Stalingrad, Russia had considerable material and productive support to fall back on, Hitler has the Russian army at his back door. Russia was aided by her Allies, even in the darkest days Hitler is hemmed In, and his last satellite Is tottering toward defeat, Hitler has good soldiers and brave soldiers, But he does not have the soldiers of Stal- ingrad. Even Dr. Goebbels never sug- Ngested that Russian officers thre, or at SevaStopol, had to stand at railroad with ready guns to shoot any soldiers who tried to surrender. We have this story of officers at Aachen from German soldiers who did manage to escape and give up.
 All this Hitler knows, of course, His only hope can be to drag the war through the winter, to gain time to perfect some new "secret weapon" or perhaps to walt for some hoped-for Allied rift, while the ring of Allied arms closes tighter about him.
