name Is not mentioned at all in
5 400 circulars he has sent over
the country.
House Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack and Representative
Klein, Democrat, Of New York
have made speeches in the House
indorsing the movement and pay
ing tribute to Mr.. L'Heureux for
initiating it.
Mr.. Klein told the House on
August 2 that the movement
quietly started last fall oy Mr.,
Herve j. L'Heureux, the kindly
harassed, and always gracious
chief of the visa division Of the
State Department. has grown with
a rapidity most impressive. con-
sidering its spiritual nature and
the lack of ballyhoo."
Adopted by 63S Organizations.
Mr.. LHeureux tries to keep
track through correspondence Of
the growth of the movement. He
believes many organizations may
have adopted his plan that he
does not know about, but he does
have record of 638. OF these. 465
were veterans organizations; IS
were business firms; four were
service clubs: Al were fraternal
and social clubs; IS were student
organizations. Only six were
church groups.
Strange as 1t might seem, MIR
L'Heureux 50 far has not heard
of a single women's club adopting
a resolution calling specifically fol
a daily prayer for peace. al
though the Gold Star and Blue
Star Mothers have Endorsed the
idea in principle.
Mr.. L'Heureux emphasizes that
the movement is completely free
and nonsectarian. Every one is
invited to join in the noon prayers
in his own way. Among those
indorsing the movement are
Catholic. Jewish and Protestant
leaders.
The idea is spreading abroad
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-10-16

A daily prayer-for- peace move
ment is spreading across the
country as the result of an Amer
lean diplomats desire to prove
to the world that Americans
really do believe in God and want
peace.
It started less than a year ago
when a group of war veterans
at Manchester. N. H., resolved to
stop whatever they were doing
for one minute at noon each day
to pray silently for Gods help
in securing IAN equitable and
abiding peace"
Since then at least 637 other
organizations have adopted SIM
liar resolutions. Among them
are the District Department of
the American Legion and the
Georgetown University student
council. Several members Of Com
gress have Endorsed the idea.
| Visa Chief Heads Movement.
Originator of the movement is
Herve J. L'Heureux, veteran
foreign service officer. now chief
of the State Departments Visa
Division, who lives here at SOL
Thirty eighth street NV.
A wounded veteran of World
War and one of the founders OF
the American Legion. Mr.. L'Heur-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-10-16

eux is no pacificst. Like most
Americans, he believes the United
States must be prepared to fight
if necessary to preserve liberty,
but hates war and wants to do
everything he can to establish a
just peace. A devout Catholic. he
has deep faith in the efficacy OF
prayer. He naturally prays for
peace.
What he is promoting now. how
ever, is more than the prayers OF
church people who pray for peace
as a matter of course. He hopes
people who normally give little
thought to religious matters will
adopt the idea of devoting one
minute at noon each day to a
silent prayer for peace.
During 10 years of service in
consular posts in Europe before,
during and Immediately after
World War II, Mr.. L'Heureux be-
came convinced that something
tangible should be done to cor
rect widespread mistaken impress
sions abroad by an unmistakable
manifestation Of the true char
acter and ideals of the Ameri-
can people"
Resolution Adopted by Club.
He explained his idea to his
fellow members of the Last Mans
Club of the William H. Jutras
Post of the American Legion at
his home town of Manchester last
October %. He suggested the
resolution which that club adopted
to start the movement.
Mr.. L'Heureux told then how he
was disturbed by personal expert
ences in Europe that showed an
astonishing lack of understanding
abroad of the true character and
purposes Of the American people.
European peoples generally regard
Americans as materialistic and
addicted to luxurious living" he
said. And he noted that this I'M
favorable impression is strength
ened by Communist propaganda
that I'VE are imperialistic and
warwongers.
He recalled an incident in
Southern France after the war.
when as American consul general
at Marseille he took part In
a ceremony honoring resistance
heroes. He suggested a moments
silent prayer for those who had
been put to death by the Ger
mans. Many of those present,
he said, expressed establishment
that I dared invoke the name OF
God without fear Of consequence
from my Government"
Mr.. L'Heureux also recalled the
surprise" of a French industrial
list visiting Washington when he
noted that daily sessions of the
Senate and House are opened with
prayer.
These experiences impressed
upon him the need for something
out of the ordinary to demonstrate
that the American people essen
TALLY are "God-loving. God-fear-
ing and peace-minded."
Aids Move in Spare Time.
Since the Manchester Last
Mans Club adopted his daily
prayer-for-peace idea, Mr.. LIEU
reux has been devoting most Of his
spare time to sending information
about the movement to other Or
PLANTATIONS and business firms.
This is not something you can
ram down the Threats Of people, p"
Mr.. L'Heureux said. "All am
trying to do is to get the idea be-
fore as many people as possible.
To be effective. it must be adopted
spontaneously"
He has refused offers of finan-
cial contributions to help spread
the movement. He wants no big

are represented among more than
5000 letters Mr.. L'Heureux has
received concerning the move
ment. Helping to spread it in
all countries in which they con-
duct schools are nuns of the Or
der of the Presentation of Mary.
Mr.. L'Heureux has five sisters who
are nuns in that order.
He estimates that he has spent
less than $500 in promoting the
movement. This was for postage
and paper. He depends entirely
on his own time efforts and
volunteer assistance for spread
ing information about the idea.

Let S Have A Safe

y accidents take lives during the vacation months
months than they do during any other time of the year
There number of things that you do to danger
proof your vacations and I'd like to point out the most
important precautions right now.

the cinematic destiny of such

OF course, the above-men-
toned duo he excepts from the
general damnation. Also Bar

Just directed in "File On Thelma
Jordon" for Hal Wallis at Par
amount.
Imitators Not Wanted
"The trouble with 80 percent
of females is they try to look
like somebody else. They all
want to look like Veronica Lake
or Lana Turner. AS soon as a
screen aspirant says I'm the
Betty Hutton type / discard
her. If she's the Betty Hutton
type l have no use for her. I'd
rather hire Betty Hutton"
Too many newcomers to Hol-
lywood - as we'll as girls all
over the world - try to ape the
stars. Joan Crawford paints full
! lips, so stenographers and wait
resses play copy cat. In this way
women lose their individuality,
they look like each other, they
become simply type.
Successful actresses or busi-
nesswomen don't compromise,
says Siodmak.
Personality Counts
Take Barbara Stanwyck.
She's unique. She's herself. Or
Joan Fontaine or Olivia De Ha-
Ivilland or Susan Hayward or
Greta Garbo. They're successes
because they're themselves.
They are not interested in Just
being pretty. They don't all
want to pass for 18. They're
natural"
What does a top screen di-
rector look for in girl?
Personality" replies Siod-
max. Personality. This whole
business is built on personality.
Talent helps, but character
comes first"
So, if you want to be a film
star, don't try to ape the Craw-
lfordS, Joan or Brod, or the
Greenes, ANGELA or Richard.
Just be yourself. If you're cock
eyed you're cockeyed - so
what. At least you're different.
And that's what counts.
