World Needs Passion For Peace,
Rabbi Thurman Tells Kiwanians

An appeal for prophetic pas
sion for peace" as "the very foun-
dation of all progress" was made
in an address yesterday by Rabbi
Mordecai M. Thurman of Whining
toms Temple Israel.
Speaking to the KiWanis club
on the role of religion in the post
war world, Rabbi Thurman called
for the overthrow OF tyranny and
its philosophy of force, for en-
phasis upon the world citizenship
of man." and for Righteousness and
Justice throughout our entire eco
nomic and social structure" Pro

clared to be basic functions Of re-

Psalms. Usually we wait for the
dawn to awake us. But there

CAUGHT
WHEN CAR BURNS

WHITEVILLE, Nov. g. Ray
mond Hudson, IS, who escaped
Monday from the state prison camp
located near here, was released
from the Columbus county hospi-
tai this morning after he had been
treated for injuries sustained when
a car which he admitted having
stolen in Wilmington was wreck
ed two miles out of Whiteville be-
You'd White Marsh, police report
ed.
Sgt J. r. Pridgen of the state
highway department, said that
Hudson, serving from 10 to Is years
for robbery with firearms, escap-
ed from work crew on highway
"a and hid until the guards had
taken the other prisoners back to
camp to begin a search for him.
Upon their leaving for camp,
HUDSON caught ride on the high
way for Wilmington, where he
stole car and headed back to-
ward Whiteville, Pridgen report
ed, presumably headed for his
home at Fayetteville.
On a sharp curve near White
Marsh, he lost control of the car
and a few minutes later passer-
by pulled him out of the burning
vehicle, which had made two com
plete overturns and had come to
stop on the north side of the
road heading back toward Will
mington.
Physicians at the hospital stated
that when Hudson reached them
he was in drunken condition and
only slightly injured.
Pridgen said that Hudson told
him that there was woman in the
car with him but careful search
of the car revealed no such indica-
tons. Hudson was returned this
to the prison camp.

reputation OF the gospel of brute
force which is the philosophical
basis of tyranny. The most per-
nicious doctrine of our age is the
lesson taught to Hitler's youth that
a man is a beast and that nations
and individuals can survive only
by means of beastliness and bru-
tality. This new teaching runs
counter to the basic principles OF
civilized living. It glorifies brute
force as the fountainhead of all
courage and heroism. Pity has CIV
en- way to power, mercy to night,
and kindness to cruelty.
1T behooves us to advance a
new definition of power and pity.
We must convince the youth OF
the world that the so-called men
of power whom they have glori-
fled as supermen and demigods
are the real towards and weak
lings who tremble with fear, as
Churchill puts it, when mouse OF
thought stirs around the house"
There is "a moral equivalent
of war;" he declared, and "reli-
gion must continually stress the
basic idea that the courage, self
1essness and sacrifice which en-
ter into war can be diverted into
ideal channels for the betterment
of human life.
II believe it is the function of
religion to warn the world not
only against political isolationism,
but also against economic isola-
tionism, the kind Of isolationism
that induces people to ask with
Cain: Am I my brothers keeper?
Religion must insist that we are
our brothers keeper, and that we
are directly responsible for other
peoples money but also for other
peoples health and happiness.

MUNICH BEER HALL
BIRTHDAY FETE OFF

LONDON, Nov. 8. -(P)- The
German radio announced tonight
that "because Of Germany's to-
tai mobilization the annual Nazi
party celebration at Munich of the
abortive 1923 Munich beer Hall
Putsch would not be held tonight as
usual but will take place at a
later date" Date of the postpone
ment was not given.
Thus it appeared that for the
first time Adolf Hitler would let
this greatest of Nazi party holi-
days pass without making his U.S.
ual speech,
Earlier in the day neutral cor
respondents in Berlin cabled that
they had been informed the party
expected Hitler to speak.
When he had not gone on the
air by 8 pm. g pm, EWT), a
ghost voice interrupted the Ger
man radio program, asking, "why
doesn't Hitler speak? Why does
the fuehrer keep silent? what is
the matter with Hitler?"
Hitler has been absent from the
microphone since July 81, when
he made brief broadcast telling
his following that he was safe
after the bomb attempt on his
life.

CI0-PAC FUTURE
TO Be DECIDED
BY HAROLD w. WARD

WASHINGTON, Nov. g. What
happens now to Sidney Hillman's
CIO-Political Action Committee?
Hillman says it lis expected 10
he continued" but the decision may
be left for the Go convention in
Chicago, Nov. 20.
Flushed with victory in many OF
its congressional tits and quite
aware of its contribution to the
Roosevelt industrial vote, the PAC
has at least three alternatives.
These are:

picture completely, figuring its
work is t.one. ct was formed by
TO President Philip Murray after
passage Of the Smith-Connally War
Labor Disputes act in July 1943o

retaining only the nucleus for any
coming election. Some curtailment
would be expected regardless OF
future course.)
3. To concentrate on continu-
ing and charging its younger put
bigger brother-the National Cltl-
zens Political Action committee.
The latter course is regarded by
some here as the likely one, since
il was the original objective OF PAC
to bring other like-minded labor
groups into a National United La
Dor league to include all CLIO, AtL'
Railway Brotherhoods and unat1ll-
lated labor unions.
Efforts to gain active partlclpa-
ton in the plan by William Green
and the ALL, the Railroad Broth
erhoods and others begged down
in the fall Of 1913, and at the CLIO
convention a year ago it was de-
cided time was running out and
the CIO-PAC proceeded on its own
to build its fences for this year.
NCPAC was formed last summer,
with the Brotherhood CT Railroad

errors regarded as liberals, and a
hest of others taken into the fold
to work for the reelection of Mr..
Roosevelt.
PAC has insisted it functioned
without any purge list or calendar
CT favored candidates on nation
al scale. Decisions as to support or
opposition rested primarily with the
regional committees, PAC officials
here asserted.
