W. REID More than 1,500 members of Baptist churches in Greater Cleve land will take part in a pageant, “The Triumph of Religious Liber ty,” to be presented on May 30 in the Public Auditorium as a fea ture of the sessions of the North ern Baptist convention. Dr. D. R. Sharpe of the Baptist City Mis sionary Society of Cleveland is the author. The pageant has seven parts: the Day of Pentecost; Paul in Chains for his faith; a meeting in the Catacombs; in the Hoppo dromo, Constantinople, in 313 A. D.; in Rome in 1137 A. D.; in Plymouth Colony and Providence when religious liberty crossed the Atlantic; and in the modern world in May 1942. UNIQUE SERVICE Members of a Negro Baptist church and of a Jewish congrega tion joined together in a unique service in Springfield. Mass., re cently, when they burned a church mortgage and prayed for peace and harmony throughout the world. In 1924 the Calvary Baptist church had purchased their church property from Beth Israel Syna gogue. The Jew's held a mortgage which it became increasingly dif ficult for the Negroes to pay off. The congregation of the Synagogue agreed to cancel the mortgage of $2,400 if the Baptists would raise $500 to repair the building. This was done and the celebration fol lowed. Rabbi J. B. Freedman and Pastor Silas L. Dupree officiated. A story of the tragic end of a number of German missionaries, who were prisoners of war m the Netherlands Indies when ’ the war sw'ept over Sumatra, is told by Dr. A. L. Warnshuis of the Inter national Missionary Council: “In accordance with the Geneva Con vention German internees from Sumatra were being transported to British India. One of the ships was attacked and sunk by Japa nese bombers shortly after leaving Sumatra. The 328 victims include a number of missionaries. The Basle Mission lost four or five; the Rhenish Mission lost five mis sionaries, including two superin tendents; the Newkirchen Mission lost two; and Oegstgeest and the Indonesian church lost six. From Kwato, on Sumatra Island, on the east end of New Guinea, where the New Guinea Evangeliz ation Society is carrying on mis sion work, comes a story of the power of science. Dr. Berkley Vaughan, science instructor in a teacher training school, tells of his difficulty of making teachers real ize the importance of germs. “If germs were so small that they couldn’t be seen, how did I know there were such things, was their unspoken attitude,” he says. “I de termined I would make it plain, so I kept a piece of meat umil it really got ‘high.’ When I brought it into the classroom it caused considerable stir in more senses than one. I explained that bad milk, bad meat, and other rotten things owed their trouble to elu sive germs and that I would let them see the offenders. I put some of the meat juice under the high power microscope, and it was seen to be a shimmering mass. Two or three of the more sophisticated girls had a look and expressed due respect. Then came a girl who had spent most of her time in village schools She took one good look, and the next instant, with a whoop like a Red Indian, she was out of the room and down the road.” POST-WAR PROGRAM “The best way for the church to deal with the post-war materi alism of scarcity,” said Bishop Francis J. McConnell, of the Meth odist church recently, “will be to move positively toward the social control of wealth, with the purpose of the increase of wealth as an economy of plenty, with the old orthodoxy of the sacredness of monopoly in private hands cast out as a thing accursed, with the deliberate aim and attempt at a American Warboat Crew Lauded For Fine Work In Java Sea Fight WASHINGTON, May 16—(A>)— When it comes to night fighting at sea, take it from a commander who knows, “You just tell your men what you expect of them be fore the battle begins, and then you let them alone.” “The idea of a captain standing on the bridge of his ship in a night battle and giving orders is, well, nuts,” Commander Henry E. Ec cles of Flushing, JN. Y., told news men today in praising the crew of his destroyer for the way they fought in the Battle of Java. “I gave two orders during the whole battle,” he recalled. Eccles was given the Navy Cross for his work under fire, but he said the decoration was rather a recognition of the meritorious way the crew handled the ship. In one instance, he related, the crew of one gun lost two men. “From then on, two loaders took over the gun and the task of sup plying ammunition, but they dou bled their work and fired faster than normal. This is an example of the kind of men we have in our Navy.” Eccles told how Frank A. Woodke, second class quartermas ter from Schallar, la., steered the ship in a zigzag course to avoid enemy shells while blinding gun flashes turned the dark night into a fiery glow. “At that time we were in nar row waters and the way Woodke Fifteen Road Houses Closed In Cumberland ■ FAYETTEVILE, May 16.—®— Fifteen road houses, tourist camps and private residences in Cumber land county were closed today as the result of padlock proceedings instituted by Sheriff N. H. Me Geachy, under the state’s anti nuisance law. The operators were directed to appear before Superior Court Judge Walter Bone June 1 to show cause why the padlock orders should not be made permanent. Sheriff McGeachy’s action come one day after the expiration of a time limit originally set for May 15 in a demand by the woman’s committee of the health education program for defense, which threat ened to appeal to army authori ties to invoke a federal anti-vice law if local authorities ignored the demand. Later the committee extended the time limit to May 20. 4 wider distribution of material goods. Wealth as an end-in-itself is worthy of all the blame that has been heaped upon it.

Penner, first class sea man from Reedly, Cal., also came in for his commander’s praise. “When other members of t h e gun crew became blinded, Penner took over and kept up deliberate and accurat fire,” Eccles said. “He got one ancl possibly two hits and has been recommended for decoration.” The work of a demolition squad left behind at the scene of t h e battle to sink a disabled ship drew special commendation. 4 -V Roosevelt Congratulates Wheless, Army Air Hero WASHINGTON, May 16.— UP) — President Roosevelt today person ally congratulated the “modest young man,” he cited for heorism in his last radio speech.

S. entered the war. ttt is written by Richard G. Massock, veteran of 10 years as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press and chief of the Rome bureau from Au gust, 1938, until Italy declared her unpopular war against the United States last December. Massock has just reached Lis bon for exchange with Axis diplomats and journalists.) By RICHARD G. MASSOCK LISBON, May 16— UP'—Benito Mussolini is leading a hungry, dis illusioned and apathetic Italy ill an unpopular war against the Unit ed States. The war’s unpopularity has been manifest in various ways to Amer icans who waited five months for repatriation after the Duce of Fascism uttered the fateful words that placed his people at war with, yet another enemy last Dec. 11. Italy’s future as an ally of Ger many and Japan is unpredictable. A collapse from a food shortage within this year or the next seems, unlikely. Neither does an economic breakdown seem imminent, be cause of assistance being given by Germany in this sphere. Without any organized opposi tion under competent leadership, the Fascist regime probably is se cure for some time to come. Yet the war against the United States is unpopular and some ob servers see in Italy a people who dislike their German allies and who care nothing for the Japa nese—a people who are looked upon for potential assistance when and if an American-British army lands in Europe to crush Hitler ism. In fact some say that half the Italian people now would welcome such an allied invasion as a pos sible means of freeing them from the humiliating grip held by the Germans. Not a single Anti-American dem onstration—even an officially or ganized one—has been reported in Italy. May Italians in all walks of life have sought on occasion to tell Americans of their personal friendship. We were regarded as only nom inal or friendly enemies. Few are the Italian families that do not know some relative or friend who has found opportunity and a bel ter way of life in the United States. Shortly before I left Rome an Italian of only casual acquaint ance, knowing I was about to leave, embraced me with Latin effusiveness and said: “Give my respects to Mr. Roose velt.’’ And, mind you, this incident oc curred despite the presence of a nearby guard. The incident was rare, but the sentiment was not. Regret and disillusionment then are general, as one astute observ er confirmed to me. But he found, like others, that popular reaction is marked rather by resignation than by indignation, by a sense of futility than any will to bring about corrective action. Italians await a new leader. Dis content with the Mussolini and his Fascism is more marked than ever. II Duce made his war declara tion against the United States in the name of King Vittorio Eman uele. While the monarch may still be respected by his people many Italians said this showed once again that the senile little man was impotent in politics. Little hope rests in Crown Prince Umberto. The Italian press, incidentally, never refers to him as crown prince; always merely as the Prince of Piedmont. The Fascist grand council itself has reserved the right to pass on eventual succession to the throne. Yet Umberto, once the white hope of Anti-Fascists because of his reported hostility towards Mus solini, appears to have made his peace with Fascism. Only recently Mussolini appoint ed Umbert> commander of armies grouped in Central and Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. The prince’s first order of the day end ed with “Hail to II Duee.” High School VROTC Unit Recommended For Honor Rating By Major Moosft The ROTC unit of New Hanover High school has been recommend ed for an honor rating on the basis of the inspection of the unit by Major Perry E.
