Wolverton, Ph.D. Chaplain Officer Candidate School “Like a mighty army moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod; We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.” 'Onward Christian Soldiers,” is, naturally enough, the favorite hymn of the armed forces. It' has been played frequently by military bands as troops leave training cen ters to go places where things are really happening. On Sunday, last, it was the closing hymn in the Chapel, and visitors remarked that they had never heard it sung in such a fine manner. I do not believe that the above stanza can be sung with the de gree of sincerity that it is sung by our men in uniform, particular ly the lifie, “We are not divided, all one body we.” Denominational ism, which has succeeded in breaking the Body of Christ, has little place in the Army. In the face of the urgency which is felt by Christian soldiers, in view of the peril to their own lives, and when confronted with the possible destruction of so much that is dear to their loved ones, there is little time for “«ists”, “«ans”, or ians”. I wonder if they will have much patience with sectarian quibbling when the war is over and they return to take their places in the community These men are to be the leading Churchmen of tomor row. Today they are essentially “One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.” Danger and hardship have made them so They are find ing the realities in our Blessed Religion; and having found them they are not likely to suffer silent ly those things which divide the Church. 5 of the Boy Scouts.

Air experts here estimated Ger many’s present first line air strength—exclusive of planes under repair, in reserve, and on trans port and non-fighting tasks — at 5,000 fighters and bombers. This, they said, is 1,500 less than the Germans were able to concen trate on the western front in the spring of 1941. A study of air operations over Eussian and Libyan fronts and over Malta convinced some close observers that the Luftwaffe is showing the loss of valuable lead ers and experienced crews. Observers said, however, that the German squadrons still are getting improved planes. They rat ed the new Messerschmitts 109FI and 109F2, the Fock-Wulf 190H and Dornier’s new D0217 bomber as improvements over earlier models. “Allied air forces are using planes at least euqal in quality,” one source declared, however. 3 NAZI ARMORED FORCE REPULSED BY BRITISH (Continued from Pa*e One) positions had been taken, however, and the British said developments had not gone as the Germans an ticipated, for the attackers have not reached to Tobruk, the coastal fortress they need for an offen sive against Egypt. The Axis onslaught opened with an attack by Italian tanks on Bir Hacheim—“The Well of Wisdom” —some 50 miles southwest of To bruk. Free French forces holding that strong point hurled back the as sault, destroyed at least 35 tanks. They are members of the “Batail lon Du Pacifique,” Frenchmen and natives from French islands such as Tahiti. 5 i 2 WEEKS OLD CHICKS Started unices— Two weeks old. 12c each.

Fountain of Rocky Mount for the Demo cratic nomination Stoner W. Klutz and Sam J. Morris are the candidates for the Republican nomination. Less than 25 absentee ballots, available to men in the armed services, will be cast in tomor row’s election, H. G. Carney, chair man of the county board of elec tions, estimated Friday. If runoffs are necessitated in any of the races, the second pri mary will be held on June 27, Mr. Carney said. STATE VOTES TODAY RALEIGH, N. C„ May 29.—(A1— North Carolinians—Fewer in num bers and comparatively disinter ested—will go to the polls tomor row to cast their ballots in a war affected off-year primary. The state board of elections has had about a million ballots printed, of which approximately one-third are republican, but nobody in the office expects that all of them will be used. War and its accompanying di versions have simply put the dam pener on politics for the duration. In most instances, incumbent candidates have no opposition, and where there are fights, the hope fuls have ranted before only par tially-interested citizens. The most exciting battle is down east, where incumbent Herbert C. Bonner of Washington is campaign ing to keep his first district seat in the U. S. House of Representa tives from either Marvin K. Blount or Jack Edwards, both of whom are from Greenville. Senator Josiah W. Bailey of Ra leigh has waged a rather stimulat ed campaign by remote control against former Lieutenant Gover nor Richard T. Fountain of Rocky Mount, who has criticised the sen ior senator in caustics terms for Bailey’s alleged opposition to the Roosevelt administration. Fountain has waged a fairly ac tive campaign, declaring that Bail ey has opposed the president on both domestic and foreign policies, but the public has shewn little re action to the campaign—even for this all-important position. In the new and populous tenth Congressional district, veteran Cameron Morrison of Charlotte, former governor and senator, is attempting to regain his political prestige in a race against John A. McRae, also of Charlotte. The fifth district is the scene of another fairly exciting contest. John Hamlin Folgher of Mt. Airy, who succeeded his late brother last summer, is seeking to retain the U. S. House of Representatives seat for that district against D. C. Speas and Julian H. Wulbern, both of Winston-Salem. There are republican candidates for many offices, but in only two cases are there republican pri maries. For the GOP Senatorial nomina tion, Sam J. Morris of Raleigh and Stoner W. Klutz of Salisbury are fighting it out, and in the 17th Ju dicial district, a republican strong hold, F. D. B. Harding, the imcum bents, is defending his past as soli citor against Avalon E. Hall. Both men are from Yadkinville. None of the incumbents on the Supreme Court or Superior Court benches has opposition, and in only eight tdistricts out of 21 are there fights for the solicitorial posts. Elections boards throughout the state have reported a light ad vance registration. 3 -V JOHN BARRYMORE IS NEAR DEATH (Continued from Page One) Barrymore’s physician. Dr. Hugo Kersten, also a Catholic, disclosed that his patient had re ceived the sacraments, thereby “renewing an old acquaintance.” Father O’Donnell, a frequent vis itor to John’s bedside, was re luctant to discuss the matter, but said: “Yes, it’s so. It’s no more than we do for a thousand others but I suppose that because Barrymore is an international celebrity it’s news.” The Priest, formerly pastor of a church opposite M.G.M. studio, often was called in as technical advisor on motion pictures. He met scores of stars, among them Barrymore. And so, he said, he only went to call on Barrymore as a friend. “I was there the other night and he was in fine shape,” Father O’Donnell said. “Lionel was visit ing him, too, and John spent a long time talking about his college days. He was very gay.” Barrymore, stricken last week while rehearsing for his radio program, -was reported this after noon to have lost consciousness. He has hypostatic pneumonia, ag gravated by liver, stomach and heart ailments. Some of Dr. Kersten’s bulletins have been optimistic, but today he said that Barrymore failed to respond to stimulants and added, “the picture is very grave.” 12 CZECHS SLAIN BY NAZI FIRING SQUADS (Continued from Pace One) prisals from the people of Bohemia and Moravia for Wednesday’s at tack on Heydrich as he was motor ing to Berlin just outside Prague. The report of Heydrich’s death began circulating in Bern. The British radio noted that it had not been confirmed and quoted the German radio as saying his con dition was “serious.” Hours before the report, an ex change telegraph dispatch from Zurich, Switzerland, said a Ger man specialist had been rushed to Prague for an emergency opera tion. This report said Heydrich’a spinal cord and spine were criti cally injured when three bullets hit him. Martial law has been proclaimed in Bohemia and Moravia, and mid night tonight was the deadline for registration of all Czech males over 15. While the worst was expected in retaliatory measures, the Czech government here nevertheless call, ed on Czechs in the homeland to resist their Nazi oppressors. “There will be r.o peace and right in the world unless the Ger man crimes are severely punish ed,” said a proclamation issued for broadcasting. “Whoever defiles himself by collaboration with the murderous enemy will not escape just punishment.” 3 RED FORCES REPULSE NAZI TANK CHARGES (Continued from Page One) mopping up the Kharkov battle ground with the “number of pris oners and amount of booty mount, ing steadily.” Military circles said the Kharkov battle was ended. (The German high corruvand al so said a Soviet attack on the central front, presumably "befoie Moscow, was repulsed, with some of the attacking Russians encircl ed.) \. The Russian mid-day commun ique said a Red unit operating on one unidentified sector of the front threw back a German infantry attack which was supported by tanks and artillery and destroyed five tanks and one armored car. It also said the Germans left hundreds of dead on the battle field. Soldiers on the Leningrad front, the communique said, destroyed several firing positions and mortar batteries and killed about 500 men and officers over a period of sev eral days. ELECT ALTON A.
