at looks as though someone is guilty
of perjury" said Senator Theodore r..
Green Of Rhode Island, chairman of
the Senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures. He was re-
ferring to the conflict in testimony in
the North Dakota senatorial scandal.
Senator Gerald =. Nye, who won out
i'm the primary race, said in a speech
on the Senate floor that Joseph Il.
Keenan,, IN Ohio Democrat and att0r-
ney for a big brewery company, who
once held high office in the admins
tration and Is still active in its sup
port, and Senator William LANCER,
Nyes Republican colleague from North
Dakota, had tried to induce war
veteran to run against Nye in the
primary and that Keenan, proposed to
put up $4,000 to finance the cam
paign.
LANCER Denies Charge
Langer hotly denied the charge on
the floor, but acknowledged that he
and keenan, had talked to Il group
of North Dakota eN-SerNlcemen III
Washington when they We're on their
way to convention in New York last
September.
His story was chat he had told the
group he thought $4,000 could be
raised and Keenan,, when he took the
stand, backed him up, denying that
he himself had offered money at any
time during the meeting.

American Zionists
Hdil Brigade Group

New York City ULNS).-Dr. Abba
cO-chairmen of the American Zionist
Emergency Council, hailed the British
Governments announcement of the
formation of a Jewish Brigade Group
as recognition Of ''the justice of the
Jewish claim to fight under their own
flag against the Oppressors of their
people"
In a statement issued here, Dr. Sill
yer and Dr. Wise expressed an
earnest hope that the recognition thus
accorded the Jews as a people in the
armies of the United Nations will be
preliminary to Jewish representation
at the peace conference and in the
councils of the nations in all matters
affecting the future of European Jewry
and of Palestine"
Pointing out that the British Gov
ernmentS announcement comes "as the
elimination of struggle which has
been conducted since the beginning of
the war by the World Zionist Organ
iZatiOn, and in this country by the
American Zionist Emergency Council,
for the recognition of the right of
Palestinian and StatelesS Jews to fight
as Jews in the war against the Nazi
;iggressor," the statement added that
the Jewish Brigade Group will desire
above all to play its part in the inya-
sion of Germany and in the rescue of
what survives of the Jewry of Europe"

YuIe Letter Tells
|Of Assurunces of
Future BLESSINGS

Typical of the faith expressed in
Christmas messages from fighting
men far away from home is letter
written by Arthur L. Murray, 2O2O
North Cleveland street, Arlington,
Va, to his wife.
Serving in the South Pacific with
the Sea Bees, he wrote:
when you receive this letter it
should be Christmas at home-the
first Christmas spent alone for us
both. But even many thousand
miles cannot keep our thoughts
apart, and I am sure we have more
to be glad for this Christmas than
last. We can look forward to that
Christmas when our home and free
dom are no longer threatened by
those who cannot understand our
way of life. When that day comes
you and I can be glad for our part,
even though it seems a great sacri-
flee now.
$50, sweetheart, in wishing you a
happy Christmas, let me add that
I thank God for keeping us both
and for His help in this war"

4. Lectures by the top sergeant
on sex.
For 300 days and 800 nights that
was the daily roster for First Sergt.
Cecil E. Mutt of Washington, D. c.,
now in Signal Corps Officer Candi-
date School.
He said:
For 100 consecutive meals we
ate nothing but corn willy" (corned

matter how the cooks tried to dis
guise it it was still corn willy
During stretch of 10 months
We did not see woman. But the
regulations said I had to give reg
ular lectures on sex. I did"
A combination of professional
drillmaster and swing trombonist,
Sergt. Mutt organized a swing band
to entertain his isolated men. After
duty hours, when there was little
to do, each man created his own di-
vertisements.
Il found it quite interesting tam
ing a baby sealion and some fla
mingos. They made excellent mas

With the Chup|uins

For instance, Chaplain Pfeiffer
himself has added something to the
record. Before being stationed at
the headquarters, Army Air Forces
Central Technical Training Com
mand, at st. Louis, he found him
self assigned to task force bound
for small, volcanic and forbidding
island located a thousand miles out
In the Pacific. During the voyage
he contrived plans to break the
monotony, avert the home sickness
and temptation of troops en- route
to that forlorn spot.
Many Books, Some Movies.
Chaplain Pfeif1er, "a Presbyterian
confesses that on the way out he
departed far enough from the teach
ings Of John Calvin and John Knox
to enable him ito steal, in a sancti.
fed sort of way, about a ton of books
and magazines and two movie pro.
lection machines" Soon after their
arrival the boys were lounging in
his library. He begged, borrowed
and chiseled films from naval YES
sells that put into port. Over the
blic-address system he amplifieo
records and short-wave programs
until the loneliness of the new posi-
retreated before the boomings of hi!
contrivances.
At dusk the boys sauntered in tt
religious service, which should no,
be interpreted as an act of unal.
Logged piety, for they also wanted
, advantageous seats for the movie
that followed the sermon. But with
wholesome entertainment, reading
material and the gospel another
chaplain helped lick the enemies O
military morale on a desolate ant
distant island.

|Droftee Gets Letter of Advice
From Brother in Service

When Corpl. A. ]. Hendley, jr., "A,
OF 1920 Fuller street NV, heard
that his l8-year-old brother, James
Mills Hendley, was being drafted, he
sat down and wrote him a letter.
II won't say I'm exactly glad to
hear you made it," he wrote, but
think it will be good experience
for you. and I wasn't surprised a bit
that you rate IA with your uncle.
Honestly, it's just human nature
to grippe little bit about what Army
life is like, as you have heard me
do, but basically it's a good thing
for young man. You always look
on fellows around 18 or 10 as being
kids. but ever since I first came in
contact with so many of them, when
they started sending them to Camp
Butner IN. c. back in March, !
have realized that they're not young
punks but are just as good and bet
ter than the ones a little older.
Army Builds Men Up.
ut used to be that the Army was
looked on as maybe tearing a man
down, but know from experience
and seeing what happens to lot of
fellows I've known since I've been in
that, if anything, the Army raises a
man rather than takes him down.
These fellows in my company
were just your age when they came
in. and although they won't admit it,
they don't find the Army too hard
to take and are glad to be in. All
along I've been trying to give you an
idea of what it Is like, and maybe
I've dwelled a little on the worst
part of it las you will do, after get
ting in, to others, but you've never
heard me say it was so bad or that 1
would want to be out of it. It's done
me lot of good physically and will
do the same for you.
Mental Step Is Biggest One.
Basic training isn't as tough
physically as mentally. Once you
adjust your mental attitude toward
everything, things get pretty easy to
take. And if you ever think this is
pretty hard to take and you'll prob
ably say that to yourself sometime.
as have, think that there are eight
or ten million men who have had it
just as tough. and if they were able
to take it, you can, too.
And believe me, once In while

ID. T.. Mechanic Help!
Keep Flying Cock
Bombing Germany

ENGLAND.-Pfc. John H. Wells,
son of Mrs. Mary Wells, 609ia New
ton place NV, is one of the
ground crew mechanics to whom is
given much credit for the success
of the Flying Fortress Fighting Cock
against the Nazis.
The mechanics are responsible
for keeping the engines in perfect
running condition. for the inspec-
ton of all parts of the ship and for
repairing as many of the defects
and battle wounds as their equip
ment allows
The Fighting Cock had taken off
more than 20 times with her heavy
load of bombs marked for Hitler's
Reich. Only twice has she turned
back short Of the target because of
mechanical trouble.
| Many German fighters have felt
the sting of the Fighting Cocks
machine guns. Four of them have
been definitely destroyed, with many
more probables.
After one combat mission the
Fighting Cock returned to base with
30 big flax holes in tail and stabi-
lizers. The plexiglas nose and four
windshields have been shattered
A propeller has been damaged.
Sometimes it is necessary for the
mechanics to work all night in or
der to have the bomber ready for
the next days bombing attack. The
most important part of the mechal-
les job is inspecting and checking
the entire plane for defects and
weaknesses. Even when the plane
is in perfect condition it is con-
stantly checked and serviced.

ket. He attended basic air mechan-
les school at Amarillo Field TeY

I'VE had been under general
alarm from submarines all day. We
felt premonition or something
coming" 1t. Geddes told The Star
while in Washington for one day
before returning to duty.
Word came to make a smoke
screen with all possible means about
$50 pm. The men had manned
their gun positions. Fifteen min
utes later the attack started. while
the whole convoy was enveloped by
smoke. Five bombers came in from
the stern with machine guns blaz-
ing on the gun positions of the
bridge. We returned their fire, but
didn't succeed in knocking any
down-it was such surprise raid.
There were some hits on person.
nel-they got man feet behind
me-the first run over. At the
sight of blood, some of the mer-
chantmen Immediately ran below.
Then large plane came in
from the port bow, with what
looked like two smaller planes fol-
lowing. I thought We we're really
going to have it this time. The
two smaller planes turned out to
be glider bombs. One glider missed
us by 100 yards and then exploded
on the starboard beam with a ire
mendous conclusion. Yells came,
We're hit!' At that. the boys stuck
to their guns to a man. The other
glider then disappeared into the
smoke after missing us by so yards.
Planes started to come in from all
rides. One plane was hit and ex-
Eloded about $50 yards from the
slAip.
1T was very pleasant and sat-
isfying feeling to see the enemy
destroyed. Altogether we claimed
three planes, two of which we saw
trailing away in smoke and flames.
The boys did their work we'll.
They stood at their guns, knowing
it was a duel with machine-guns
at 300 yards, with the probability
that the enemy would see us first.
However, not man was hit by
machine-gun fire after the first run
over. 1t would be quiet for about
a minute, then hell would break
loose again. A plane would come
in; We would fire, and then other
planes would see the tracer and
come in with torpedoes.
while I was running back to
the stern to check on ammunition
I saw a plane coming dead at us.
Some one yelled Torpedo! The
explosion that followed ripped a
hole in the side of the ship about

For General Commission on Army and
Navy Chaplains, washington, d, C.

Navy Chaplains, washington, D. c.
Seventy men were adrift on the
Pacific on the stern of a ship bro
ken in twain. Only a flimsy bulk
head stood between them and eter-
nifty. To the scene a returning trans
port raced death across a stormy
night sea. BY means Of Lyle gun
a line was laid across the doomed
hulk. The night was wild with wave
and wind. The bulkhead was giving
way, but rescue wa. impossible
Then came the dawn and with it a
quieter sea. From lifeboats 70 men
were brought safely aboard the
transport. First among their re-
quests was that Chaplain Joseph
F. Hogben, who was there to greet
them. should conduct a special serv-
ice of Thanksgiving. And conduct It
he did. Il never heard men pray as
they did," reports Chaplain Hogben,
formerly rector OF an Episcopal
Church in Pocatello, Idaho, "as they
repeated corporate prayer of
thanksgiving from the Army and
Navy Hymnal."
One and all of the survivors said
Chaplain, if they say there weren't
any atheists in the foxholes of Ba-
tam, tell the world for us neither
were there any atheists on doomed
piece of ship with only thin bulk
head between us and death. We
prayed and tell the world, also, it
works."
The Cross and Service.
In the Canal Zone a young moth
er who had heard about the award
ing Of medals for meritorious serv-
ice, gazed long and curiously at the
insignia worn by Chaplain Theo.
dore Pfeiffer.
Finally she asked: ''Is that a Dis
tinguished Service Crosse"
This is exactly what it is" replied
the chaplain.
OF course the chaplain was think
ing about the cross that has SYM
bolized sacrifice and service evel
since the Man of Galilee first glori.
fled 1t. Thousands of wearers of that
emblem who are entering into the
experience of young Americans In

niflcance OF that cross.

was an excellent target, but there
were no artillery observers to direct
the fire.
Kelly was given hasty instruc-
tions over the field telephone. The
job of directing artillery fire is COM
plicated, and usually an officer stud
les for weeks before he is consid-
cred competent. But Pvt. Kelly
rose to the occasion and called out
reflections by compass directions
so well that the third round from
an artillery position miles away
scored direct hit.
Pvt. Kelly was sent overseas last
spring, having joined the infantry
in May, 1912. He was trained at
Camp Blanding, Fla, and Camp
Edwards, Mass. A brother, Aloysius
Kelly, jr., apprentice seaman, is sta
toned with the Coast Guard at
Jacksonville, Fla.
A native of Forest Glen, Pvt
Kelly attended the School of the
Nativity at Brightwood.
