Archbishop
Hits Hatreds

Citing Nazi masSacres of Jews
in Polish ghettos as an example
Of "the length 10 which human
hatred can GO" the Most Rever-
end Edward Mooney. archbishop
OF the Catholic diocese Of Detroit,
today warned against attempts TO
stir up racial and group intoler-
ance.
Archbishop Mooney Rabbi
Maurice y. EiSendrath, director
of the American Hebrew Union
Congregations of Cincinnati and
Mayor Jeffries spoke last night TO
1900 persons at a rally in Cass
Technical High School sponsored
by the Jewish Community Council
OF Detroit. concentrating the
first anniversary of the Battle OF
the Warsaw Ghetto, in which S.
900 Jews persisted.
NAILS ANTI-CHRISTIAN
1--WE should not fail 10 note
the fact that the Mari per-
petrators of the Warsaw ghetto
massacres are anti Christian as
well as anti-Jewish," Arch
bishop Mooney said.
"Our hope is that out Of q
common tribulation, new forms
OF human solidarity are being
formed between Christians and
Jews. Jews and Christians will
work together 10 make a better
world.
The horrors of the Polish
ghettos have deep lessons for
US. They call attention 10 the
length to which human hatred
can go. They are n warning to
us against any attempt 10 stir
up racial and group hatreds.
"The heart-rending story OF
the Warsaw ghetto reveals In
all It's horror what Hitler's now
order means.
RAPS RACE HATRED
"Mere denunciation of anti
semitism, however, will accom-
plish little. The Catholic
church specifically condemns
anti-semitism. Catholic teach
ing exalts the historic religious
role OF the Jewish people. Anti
semitism il Numerically OPP
posed TO Christian principles"
Rabbi Eisendrath denounced

he said tended to make Palestine

called on the United Nations Ia

World peace depends on a return
to God. DR.. Walter A. Maier Of st
Louis told approximately 5000
Washington area residents yester-
day at the Lutheran Rally in Uline
Arena. The rally was held to honor
servicemen and women.
DR.. Maier, who was introduced by

form having United Nations flags
and green palms and ferns as a
background. Below the platform
the United States Navy Band sat
fanwise before Boatswain Ralph
Mack, director, and behind the plat
form more than 800 members Of the
choir filled the raised seats Of the
arena. The choir was led by r. e.
Snesrud, music director at Au-
gustana Lutheran Church.
The meeting opened with band
members posting the American and
Lutheran flags at either end of the
platform. The choir, singing ON
ward Christian Soldiers" then
marched to its place in front Of a
large white cross before an Amer
lean flag. The audience then rose
and sang America the Beautiful"
remaining standing as Sen. Johnson
led them in the pledge of allegiance
first to the American flag and next
to the Christian flag. The Rev. DR.
Gerhard E. Lenski, pastor of Grace
Lutheran Church, said the opening

version" Citing statistics, he said

first four months OF this year show
the number of applications for
divorce exceeded the number of re-
quests for marriage licenses in st.
Louis County"
DR.. Maier pointed out soldiers in
the front lines take their religion
seriously" and expect those at home
to do the same. "a prayer-despis-
ing, prayer-rejecting land will never
be truly victorious nation" he as
serted. DR.. Maier also told the
gathering the Lutheran Hour of

STIMS0N SAYS
 NAzI OFFENSIVE
 TO SHORTEN WAR

WASHINGTON, Dec 2l-Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson to- day said if the German counter offensive fails it will definitely shorten the war He coupled this with the assertion, however, that the Germans ability to launch a huge offensive is significant.
 Stimson also said the Nazis pene- trated Allied territory a distance ranging five to 20 miles. In his weekly review of the war at a news conference, he said the Ger mans chose to attack a sector which was loosely held on both sides. It was terrain which did not offer to the Allies much incentive for exploitation. The Secretary commented that the Nazis didn't have a great deal to lose in risking the offensive and it might gain for them a few months time before they must account for the misery they have inflicted on the world
 Discussing the power of the Nazi thrust, Stimson said despite the losses suffered by the Germans in land and air ttacks in recent months, they have been ables to build up on the west wall very force for this attack"
 Interpreting the enemy offensive as "an about effort to halt the advance on the Cologne Plain and Saar Basin," he added: T have the utmost confidence in the wisdom and energy of aggressive, fighting Eisenhower and his able leaders"

For several weeks the choir of the church has been planning special music for this occasion that will be both i'm pressive and reverent. Traditional Christmas carols will be sung at various points in the service. The music for the Communion will be that of John Merbecke, written in the middle of the sixteenth century. Solo parts are to be sung by Ernest Ehler, tenor, and Miss Joaflne Novel;, soprano. The choir is under the direction of Mrs. Crystal Jenne. Miss Marguerite Shaw is the or ganist
 The church will be appropriately decorated for the Christmas season with boughs of hemlock and spruce The altar will be decorated with white and red carnations.
 At the midnight service, elec- tricity will be used sparingly, as candles are to be placed in appro- priate places in order to give an effective candle-light setting.
 This midnight Christmas service is a traditional feature and it is expected that many persons will plan to attend.
 There will be an additional cele- bration of the Holy Communion at 10 a. m. on Christmas Day for the benefit of any who are not able to attend the midnight service.
