should bow, OF things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things un-
der the earth;
And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
If in these last and perilous days
we could persuade our Government
officials and those in authority to
confess that Jesus Christ has power
on the battlefield, that in his name
and through his name the war
clouds could be rolled away and
our boys brought home again.
In other words, if we could have
an old fashioned revival with every
knee bowling and confessins our
sins to the Lord Jesus Christ, We
would find peace with Him.

This weeks concert by the Navy
Band Symphony Orchestra, Lieut..
Charles Brendler, lead der. was
devoted entirely to works of
American composers. with one of
its personnel, Hugh O'Meagher,
pianist, being introduced in that
role through his Concerto in B
minor" As always, the concert was
well patronized by discerning au-
dience which takes advantage of
the opportunity these Friday pro-
grams offer to hear this excellent
group of musicians.
: Lieut.. Brendler has now such an
outstanding group that he can Sc
q leet numbers such as formed last
nights program and give them as
they should be presented. He mas
contributed largely to the knoWl-
ledge of music by performing works
like Roger Sessions suite from THE
, Black Maskers' and by repeating
Piston's "The Incredible Flautist,'
which was given its local premiere
. rsone four years ago by the National
Symphony. This is a difficult un-
dertaking especially as regards the
/. output of contemporary composers
but the Navy Band Symphony
Orchestra does it with success.
Mr.. OMeagher, who has demon
strated in several appearances that
he is an artist of the first rank, has
written noteworthy orchestral
work in the concerto which is dedi-
Gated to his friend, Robert Pitney
with whom he had formed a duo
piano partnership. The inspira-
ton for the concerto was found in
three poems by Whitman, "Out OF
the Cradle Endlessly Rocking. ;
9-Tears" and "One Hour to Madness
and JOY" and first written as a two
~ piano number.
In the present version, played fol
the first time last night, he has
placed most of his material in the

Hatch, Ball Drop Plans
To Force Senate Stand
On Foreign Policies
BY the Associated Press.

~ tAAe noootideca ieSS.
Proponents today suspended
efforts to force Senate action
now on an affirmative foreign
policy statement.
With President Roosevelt expected
to meet soon with Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain, Sena-
tors Ball, Republican, of Minnesota
and Hatch, Democrat. of New Mex
leo indicated they will not press for
adoption at this time of resolution
they have drafted.
Originally they had sought to have
the Senate say how far it would 90
in approving American participa-
ton in future world security plans.
They had hoped thus to give the
President trump card in his con-
versations with other Allied chiefs.
But time travelled too fast Both
Senators Ball and Hatch said they
did not believe it wise to attempt
to bring before the Senate a pro-
posal which might find the chamber
embroiled in bitter debate during

ConnalIy Appeals for Silence.
Chairman Connally of the Foreign
Relations Committee has asked his
colleagues not to offer resolutions or
Iengage in discussions which would
disturb the delicate international
situation"
While the resolution avenue ap-
parently is closed, the chairman's
desire for silence on foreign policy
matters seems unlikel yto halt de-
bate.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
Of Michigan said in response to re-
porters questions that while he
agrees with Senator Connally that
there is nothing to be gained by fur
ther Senate resolutions, he cannot
subscribe to any suppression of dis
cusSion.
Similarly. Senator Hatch thinks
that friends of international Coop
GRAFTON for peace should express
themselves lest other nations gain
the impression that what he calls "a
small vocal minority" critical of
world security organization, repre-
sents the Senate's views.
Praising Senator Vandenberg's
speech Wednesday, the New Mexico
Senator said he wanted to "see other
Senators express themselves just as
strongly"
McKeIlar ASSaiIs GrahS
| Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee, new President pro tenn
pore of the Senate, took to the radio
last night with a foreign policy
speech in which he asserted that the
peace terms growing out of this wal
must not convey the property of any
nation to anotht unless the people
involved have a voice in the matter
A League of Nations supporter
after the last war, Senator McKellaI
called for the formation of a worlo
organization patterned on the Dunn
barton Oaks agreements.
Declaring that the peace terms
. must follow the principles of the
Atlantic Charter, Senator McKellal
said certain European Allies seen
inclined to disregard those aims.
Some Of them seem to be taking
over spheres of influence, getting
special trade agreements and en-
tering into unilateral, bilateral Oh
multilateral or other selfish pacts,
he said.
That is not the way to lasting
peace. On the contrary that is tht
certain way to SOW the seeds Of 6
+ third World War, and this we mus
not do"
