Catholic Leaders Offer _
Post-W ar Peace F ormula
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—(Sun
day)_LB—The Catholic archbish
ops and bishops of the United
States declared in a statement to
day that “in the post-war world,
the profit element of industry and
commerce must be made subserv
ient to the common good of com
munities and nations if we are to
have a lasting peace.”
The members of the hierarchy
drafted the statement during a
two-day session here. They de
clared that “in the discharge of
our pastoral responsibility, we are
gravely concerned about the world
peace of tomorrow.”
“Secularism cannot write a real
and lasting peace,” the statement
said. "Its narrow vision does not
encompass the whole man, it can
not evaluate the spirituality of the
human soul and the supreme good
of all mankind.
“Exploitation cannot write a real
and lasting peace. Where greedy
might and selfish expediency are
made the substitutes of justice
there can be no securely ordered
world.
“Totalitarianism, whether Nazi,
Communist or Fascist, cannot
write a real and lasting peace. The
■£ state that usurps total powers, by
“ that very fact, becomes a despot to
S its own people and a menace to the
family of nations.
-
- write a real and lasting peace in
" justice and charity to all nations,
V. even to those not Christian.
£ The bishops said that President
Rooseveit "has given solemn as
£ suran-e that the United States has
~ no daaiens of permanent conquest
£ or sordid interest” but has guaran
~ teed “to countries under tempor
z cry occupation as well as to our
2 own the right to live in security
and pence.”
The United States, the statement
S said, ‘has . been forced into the
Z most.devastating war of all time”
2 i'vcl'-ing “the most important
t moral issue cf today.” Some na
lions, the statement said, “are
united in' waging war to bring
; about a slave world. We are
::: associated' with other powers in a
,L teudly conflict against those na
il t ens to maintain a free world.”
2 Commenting that war brings ab
~ normal conditions in the life of a
£ na inn. the hierarchy said’
2 ”Our government has announced
2 that the war emergency makes it
necessary to employ an unprece
drr. eti number of women in indus
2 try. While vfe are wholeheartedly
• cooperating with our government
in the prosecution of the war, we
r ’.ist, as ghepherds of souls, ex
p-css our grave concern about the
Oulsiian home in our beloved
country in these crucial days.
When mothers aTe engaged in in
dustry a serious child problem
necessarily arises.
“Every effort must be made to
limit, as far as necessity permits,
the employment of mothers in in
dustry, particularly young moth
ers. Due provision should be
made for the day care of the chil
dren of working mothers. The
health and moral welfare of moth,
ers employed in industry should be
thoroughly safeguarded. ”

ALLIED SOLDIERS
MOVING ON TUNIS

the Atlantic Coast, were reported
to have received a friendly wel
come. Ports and airfields in the
western area were being operated
by American forces, the com
munique said.
Planes Downed
That Hitler had decided to make
a serious stand in Tunisia and
perhaps even was hopeful of form
ing a junction between Axis forces
in Vest Africa and Marshal Er
win Rommel’s fleeing Africa Corps
became obvious when long distance
Allied pursuit planes shot down
seven of a fleet of perhaps 60
Axis transport planes flying north
ward from Tunisia.
As the troop - carriers were
thought to have been empty at
the time of the attack, military ob
servers deducted that they had
transported men and supplies to
Tunis and were on the return trip
to Italy for another load. It was
known that German light tanks
had reached Tunisia, probably by
air.
Heavy British bombers attacked
the main Tunis airport for the
third straight night, destroying
ground installations and large
quantities of gasoline and other
supplies.
Even should Axis forces in Tuni
sia succeed in consolidating their
position and make ■ a temporary
stand against the big. superbly
equipped Anglo - American Army
moving against them from the
west, it was highly doubtful that
they ever would join arms with
Rommel's hard-pressed army, flee
ing from disaster in Egypt.
Intensifies Pursuit
Spurred by its commander, Gen
eral B. L. Montgomery, the victor
ious British Eighth Army intensi
fied its pursuit of the demoralized
Germans on the coastal road west
of Tobruk in Libya, and, with its
air force inflicting dreadful punish
ment on jammed Axis columns,
prepai-ed to wipe out the Africa
Corps.
had farther to the west in Libya,”
Montgomery exhorted his eager
army. "On with the task, and .
good hunting to you all.”
Twelve Axis divisions “have ceas
ed to exist as effective fighting
formations.” he declared, while 30,
000 prisoners, including nine gen
erals have been captured. Mont
gomery told his men that he had
“thanked the Allied a i r forces
warmly” for their help and co
operation in smashing the Axis des
ert army.
The Italian high command ad
mitted there was “heavy pressure”
on its forces in Libya and said
that last night’s British bomber
attack on Genoa caused “serious
damaged.” It claimed that an Ital
ian submarine had sneaked into
the harbor of American-occupied ;
Bougie in Algeria and torpedoed a
10,000-ton ship.
The Vichy radio revealed that ,
General Lattre de Tasigny, com
mander of the Montpellier military
region on the Southern French
Coast and former commander in
Morocco, had led a short-lived re
volt a few days prior to the Ger
man march into unoccupied France.
Upon learning Nov. 8 that Gen
eral Henri Honore Giraud had gone
ot North Africa to lead anti-Axis
Colonial forces there, the radio
said, General Tassigny equipped a
small unit of his forces with two
guns and abandoned his posts with
the idea of becoming chief of staff
of French rebel forces.
“After spending some time mov
ing about the country, the gen
eral learned of measures taken to
insure order and surrender’ to po
lice, the broadcast said. It added
that he would be tried by a court
martial.
The British reported that Gen
eral Auguste Nogues, erstwhile per
sonal delegate of Marshal Philippe
Petain in Africa, had conferred
with Admiral Jean Darlan at Al
giers and had returned today to
Rabat in Morocco to resume his
military command. |

Rickenbacker was "exempt from

Cherry. The search was renewed

The Navy announcement said
only:
"The rescue of all the surviving
members of Captain Rickenbacker’s
plane, which was forced down after
reporting less than one hour’s sup

complished after a search of a wide
area of the Pacific by planes and
ships. Even the approximate loca
tion of Captain Rickenbacker’s
forced landing at sea was unknown
when the search began.
“The raft on which Captain Rick
enbacker was found was picked up
about 600 miles north of Samoa.”
The three weeks which the cap
tain and his comrades spent adrift
can only .be imagined until they
can tell their story. The raft which
was their home was apparently of
the four-man type—nine by five

BERLE ASKS ITALY
TO RESIST NAZIS
(Continued from Pajre One)
vould be open ' to Italy once she
lad renounced aggression.
“The Italian people now, while
the struggle is still in progress,”
laid Berle, “can give unquestioned
rvidence that the philosophy of
:onquest and force has been con
ilusively put aside, by joining the
itruggle against Nazi and Fascist
:yranny.”
This, added Berle, was asking
ittle — only that Italinas shall
tot condemn themselves and their
ihildren to further slaughter, and
,hat tney accept “peaceful ar
rangements of peaceful peoples”
vhich would afford opportunities
■or improved economic standards,
letter labor conditions, and access
:o world trade on equal terms.
“The Italian patriots of today,”
Berle asserted, “will be those who
low repeat achievements of their
5reat forerunners, who drive out
tyranny, who re-establish firm and
°cal government, who make their
people free, who lead Italy once
more into the family of civilized
lations.
“To those true patriots who un
dertake the liberation of Italy, we
say, you do not act alone. The
armies of America and of the
United Nations are close at hand,
and behind them the full strength
of the most powerful nations in
the world.”

will hear any further defense mo
tions and also any arguments in
mitigation in behalf of the de
fendants.
Throughout the reading of the
verdict the defendants showed but
little emotion.
However, Mr. Froehling virtu
ally collapsed a little later. Judge
Campbell said court was adjourn
ed. The jurors were excused. Dep
uty federal marshals assisted Mrs.
Froehling from the courtroom.
She and the other defendants
were taken to the marshal’s lock
up a floor above the courtroom.
From there they were to be taken
back to the Cook county jail where
they have been held.
Th trial began Oct. 26 and re
volved ground the “aid and com
fort” passage of this definition of
treason in the U. S. Constitution:
“Treason against the United
States shall consist only in levy
ing war against them, or in ad
hering to their enemies, giving
them aid and comfort. No per
son shall be convicted of treason
unless on the testimony of two
witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confession in open curt.”
Those on trial were accused of
harboring and assisting Herbert
Haupt. He was a Chicago youth
who went to Germany in 1941, and
became a Nazi saboteur. He and
seven other saboteurs were smug
gled into the United States by Ger
man submarines last June.They
were captured before they could
cripple any American war plants.
Herbert and five fellow conspir
ators were executed Aug. 8 in
Washington after a trial by a mil
itary commission. The other two
were sentenced to prison.

The OPA charged that “S” cou

In other instances, the OPA said,
