MORAVIANS HOLD
EASTER SERVICE
" WINSTON-SALEM, April 9—(ffl—
A crowd that exceeded the out
side expectations for wartime at
tended the 172nd Easter sunrise
service at Home Moravian church
this morning under the leadership
of Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl. It
was the bishop’s 14th consecu
tive service.
In addition to the thousands of
people gathered at the church,
-ih e radio audience scattered
throughout the range of the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System heard
the service through both the regu
lar broadcast and through short
wave. It was reported to be the
Widest religious service broadcast
Columbia has ever had.
The service followed its tradi
tional lines. Early in the morning
the great Easter band, operating
in sections, toured the city and
played Easter music to arouse the
citizenry. The musicians then re
turned to the church, breakfasted
and prepared for the service
proper.
At daybreak. Bishop Pfohl ap
peared at the entrance of the
church and proclaimed the risen
Christ. A chorus massed from the
numerous Moravian churches
here, directed by Dr. Edmund
Schwarze. pastor of Calvary Mo
ravian Church, emphasized the
^xrUinVt oro q narf nf the
Easter litany.
The Easter band was under the
direction of B. J. Pfohl. brother
of the bishop, who is completin’
his 65th year with the band. With
the close of the first half of the
litany at the church door, the
crowd followed the bishop, clergy,
and city officials to the graveyard
where the second half w'as com
pleted.
• In transferring the crowd to the
graveyard. approximately 500
ushers, under the direction of
.Moody Z. Gaither, had a part.
They guided the great host into
the various entrances to the
•graveyard so that as little time
as possible was lost.
' -The band music was of a high
standard despite the absence of
scores of regulars who are in
the armed services. Approximate
ly 50 girls took part this year for
the first time, keeping the band
at its normal size for recent years
—about 350 pieces.

gium hasbeen forbidden under a
decree issued by Nazi military au
thorities.

three other formations were flying
only slightly less distances to blast
Poznan (Posen) in Poland, Tutow
in Pomerania and Warnemuende
on the Baltic.
The 1,600-mile flight to Marien
burg equalled the deepest Allied
aerial penetration of Europe. The
town has been hit before by Am
erican bombers, on Oct. 9, 1943.
Berlin broadcasts said flaming
air battles developed as the Am
ericans challenged Hitler’s most
heavily-defended air routes for the
second successive day and claimed
24 bombers shot down. But first
crewmen to return said enemy air
opposition was not as severe as
yesterday when American bombers
and fighters shot down 148 German
planes over Brunswick and other
German targets and suffered the
loss Of 34 bombers and 24 fighters.
Poznan is the home of one of the
largest Messerschmitt fighter
plane factories in eastern Europe
and its great freight yards serve
German troops now locked with
Red army columns on the Kowel
(Kovel) front a little over 300 miles
away in east central Poland.
The city lies 150 miles beyond
Berlin on the strategic Berlin-War
saw rail line.
Marienburg, East Prussian town
250 miles northeast of Berlin, is
300 airmiles west of the Kowel
fighting front and is the site of a
Focke-Wulf fighter plane factory.
Warnemuende, on Mecklenburg
Bay 10 miles northeast of Rostock,
has been hit five times before by
Allied planes, three times by the
RAF and twice by the Americans,
and Tutow, west of Stettin in Pom
erania, was blasted by the Amer
icans on Feb. 20, 1943. Both towns
are the sites of German plane fac
tories.

De Gaulle, recently named by
the French Committee of National
Liberation as supreme command
er of all the French armed forces,
announced the appointment and
abrogation degree earlier in the
day without the knowledge of his
65-year-old rival, while negotiations
between the two were still in prog
ress.
Giraud had refused the appoint
ment at a “disagreeable" session
yesterday with De Gaulle, but De
Gaullists had held out the hope
until the very last that he would
reconsider.
De Gaulle's action was in effect
a reassertion of his determination
to force the Allies to deal with
the National Committee of which
he is president, as the sole pro
visional government for liberated
France. The step gave him com
plete civil and military control of
the committee.

heavy burden of sacrifice and to
find hope for true victory in the
peace to come, worshippers
throughout toe nation were told
yesterday.
Representative spiritual leaders
in the country’s pulpits held forth
the hope of rededication to toe
principles of Democracy and
Christian brotherhood as toe shin
ing promise of an Easter morn
ing which found toe United Na
tions poised and waiting for even
greater and more devastating bat
tles to come.
Congregations on this third war
time Easter were told that the
consolation for those who have
sacrificed sons and loved ones in
the struggle lay in the holiday’s
lesson of the resurrection incon
clusiveness of death. The obliga
tion implicit in toe messages of
the day was to post vigilant watch
against toe recurrence of war in
the world of the future.
IN ITALY
WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN
ITALY, April 9—1#)—Thousands of
American soldiers knelt in fox
holes within 400 yards of German
infantry in a spectacular Easter
service today that was broadcast
to toe Nazi troops as well as the
doughboys by three American
chaplains.
Not a single shell fell in toe
immediate sector during the near
ly two hours of toe Protestant and
Catholic service that began short
ly after sunrise.
The April sun, partially hazed
by mist, spread warmth along the
olive clad ridges of the Garigliano
sector where American troops are
fighting.
Speaking directly to his troops,
the regimental commander said:
“I wish you a happy, blessed Eas
ter and God speed and good for
tune on your greatest mission—
to make the world safe for Chris
tianity.”
The service was held on what
is known as “Hill 411.” In toe
valley below dense clouds of va
por arose from Allied smudge
pots which were kept smoking
day and night. Higher up on the
crest alert doughboys crouched—
waiting for the attack that might
have come, but didn’t.
IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, April 9 —(A>)—
Thousands of Washington officials
and visitors attended Easter sun
rise services at Arlington National
Cemetery today to hear General
George C. Marshall pray for
strength for "those who offer
their lives in support of the na
tion’s cause by land, sea and
air.”
IN LONDON
LONDON, April 9—UP—Many
thousands of Uniformed Ameri
cans—some veterans of battle,
others awaiting the call—com
memorated Easter on foreign soil
today with psalms and prayers,
but missing were most of the
trimmings of Easter at home
such as fashion parades, egg hunts
and family gatherings:
It was an Easter of rationing,
discipline, high-pitched expecta
tion and solemnity.
In London—nerve center for the

soldiers, sailors and Wacs attend

Hundreds of service men stood
with bowed heads in Easter pray

mouth of the Tenaru River where
Marines first landed to begin the

All seats were filled and many
soldiers were standing as Chap

The Germans’ renewed attempt
to use their remote-controlled
tanks, known also as the “Mine
hund” or mine tank, proved about
as ineffective as previously. They
were spotted moving against Al

sharp-eyed Allied gunners spotted
them, destroying three and dam
aging a fourth before they could
do any harm.
The Minehund, about five feet
long, two feet high and two feet
wide, is unmanned and runs on
a light steel tread. It is powered
by a two-cylinder gasoline motor.

KOHIMA ENTERED
BY JAP COLUMNS
(Continued from Page One)
The Southeast Asia Command
said a “small initial penetration”
of Kohima’s outskirts had been re
pulsed.
However, this was the first inti
mation that the Japanese had
pushed so far, to a point only 35
miles from Dimapur on the Amer
ican-operated Bengal-Assam rail
way, a supply artery for Lt. Gen.
Joseph W. Stilwell’s American -
Chinese forces in north Burma.
The road from Kohima to lm
phal has been blocked 15 miles
south of Kohima for several days
by Japanese infiltrations.
(The Japanese Domei news agen
cy broadcast from Tokyo a reit
eration of its claim that the Jap
anese forces, launching a general
assault Tuesday, “annihilated the
enemy’s 54th Brigade momentari
ly” and took Kohima at dawn
Thursday.
(Domei declared Japanese feints
had led the Allied command to ex
pect an attack on Imphal from the
south or northeast, thus they dis
missed the idea of an attack on
Kohima from the Sojnra hills tracts
to the north and so weakened its
defenses. It quoted a Tokyo Shim
bun editorial which stressed its
strategic importance and declared
the victory “envisages the possi
bility of a deep cleagave among
the United States, Britain and
Chungking” because of dissatisfac
tion over Admiral Lord Louis
Mountbatten’s military leadership
in Southeast Asia.)

HULL OUTLINES
FOREIGN POLICY
(Continued from Page One)
that before this enough of Italy
would have been freed so that we
might have had at least a prelim
inary expressions" of the will of
the Italian people on their gov
ernment.
3. Neutral nations—the United
States and its allies are insistent
ly asking these nations ‘‘to cease
aiding our enemy." The neutrals
no longer need fear that Germany
will win the war and are there
fore co longer faced with the need
to compromise between Germany
and the Allies. Hull mentioned no
nation specifically but left no doubt
that he had reference to every neu
tral on the rim of Europe—Sweden,
Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Tur
key—when he declared that' we
can no longer acquiesce in these
nation’s drawing upon the resourc
es of the Allied world when they
at the same time contribute to the
death of troops whose sacrifice
contributes to their salvation as
well as ours.”
4. Military—Allied strength ‘‘has
now grown to the point where we
are on the verge of great events.
We await their development with
ahcnlnto onnfi'^onpo ’’
5. Allies—Cooperation among Bri
tain, Russia, China and the United
States is “solid framework upon
which all future policy and inter
national organization must be
built.’’ Hull made a plea for tol
erance and understanding of “the
other fellow's point of view’’ and
asserted emphatically that “for
these powers to become dividend
in their aims and fail to recognize
and harmonize their basic inter
ests can produce only disaster and
no machinery as such can produce
this essential harmony and unity.’’
6. The Enemy—The Secretary de
clared that “there can be no com
promise with Fascism and Nazi
ism. It must go everywhere.” He
added that enemy leaders can ex
pect “no negotiated peace, no com
promise, no opportunity to return.”
7. Post-war Plans—The European
advisory commission in London is
now at work “upon the treatment
of Germany” and will propose
to the Allied governments plans
for concrete action. Meanwhile, the
basis of American policy is sound
ly ' established after two years of
intensive study, “the direction is
clear and the general methods of
accomplishment are emerging.”
But this method will be useless
unless it has the unified support
of the people at home and accept
ability to cooperating nations
abroad.
In addition to these secretary
touched upon many other matters.
He emphasized his belief that,
along with political arrangements
for postwar security must go econ
omic arrangements to give men
and women everywhere an oppor
tunity to improve their material
conditions.
He restated his belief that the
more than 30 boundary questions
in Europe can not be effectively
settled while the war is still on.
“This does not mean that certain
questions may not and should not
in the meantime be settled by
friendly conference and agree
ment,” Hull said. “We are at all
times ready to further an under
standing and settlement of ques
tions that may arise between our
allies as is exemplified by our of
fer to be of such service to Po
land and the Soviet Union. Our of
fer is still open.”
MARCH SHIPPING
LOSSES ‘HIGHER’
(Continued from Page One)
disrupt our flow of supplies to
Russia by the northern route.
“Our merchant shipping losses
were mainly incurred in far dis
tant seas. Though a little higher
than in February, they were still
low and the rate of sinking
U-boats was fully maintained.
“The Allied merchant fleet con
tinues to improve both in quantity
and quality, but the strength of
the U-boat force remains consid
erable and calls for powerful ef
forts by surface and air forces.”
