the STAR, HOPE, ARKANSAS Saturday, April 24, 1943 PAGE. FOUR HOPE Religion Is Great Need for Soldiers in Time of War Analysis of the News by Mackenzie I Editorial Comment Written Today and Moved by Telegraph or Cable. By DeWITT MacKENZIE About ten days ago I recorded this column a growing demand more spiritual and moral guidin helping win the war and I the declaration by United Senator Harry S. Truman Mo.) that there is a need "a fighting Tomorrow being Easter this like good time to make a on the reaction that artLetters from as far away California have been arriving at desk and all of them, with one exception, agreed with the general thesis. The exception was a friendly and cleverly phrased epistle from a in Minnesota.

He put up a stiff battle, the gist of it being: "Religion and its part in victory The value of religion war is debatable. To the Rusand to other millions who not Rusians, it is of no great moment. There is much cursing praying in the foxholes." Well, Scott, I like a man who speaks his mind, and you sure talk up in meetin'. I'm not going argue the point with you, because my business is analysis and debating or yet preaching. However, despite your skepticism on religion in war, it's interesting to you, along with the rset.

writme a letter about it. This can mean that religion has a news interest for readers, and that's why deal with it in this column the same as with other categories of neXpropos of the remark about religion being of no great moment to Russians, the Associated Press the day carried a little dispatch saying that the twenty-six Greek Orthodox churches of Moscow open Palm Sunday were crowded to degree that their members said unknown since before the Bolshevist revolution. Throngs. even blocked traffic before some churches. Numerous Red Army men, sailors and airmen were among the churchgoers.

What's the meaning of that? Apparently it supports what I've been 'saying that a spiritual and moral wave is running through many countries. Religion still has plenty of meaning to a host Russians, and they howl it when the church doors are open, Speaking of religion in the foxholes, Captain William E. Taggart. Air Force: chaplain, stated recently at a meeting of religious leaders in New York that the war has 'rekindled a desire for religion in the hearts of American soldiers in the combat areas. He said: need a religion which they can use in the cockpits, in jungles or on rubber rafts.

They are asking for the comfort of a religion which will help them to conquer fear and to withstand the test of seeing buddies killed. In other words, the boys feel need of a practical religion. After all, whatever you think of religion, it can't be claimed that there's very much comfort in atheism. While we're on the subject our boys' needs at the front there's a matter I want to report. It hasn't to do with religion but it's mighty close to it, for it relates to letters from home.

On my recent trip the war theatres I found that morale of our. troops is in ratio to the frequency of letters. If mails don't arrive, rale slumps way down, was sitting in the quarters a couple of young Yankee captains at one of our headquarters in Middle East. A limited mail rived, and one of the boys got letters while the other got The lucky fellow immediatly plunged into his treasures, and other started to pace the room. I was completely of picture but I watched developments with interest.

Finally the letterless lad stopped in front of his and 'said: "Let me read one of your letters, will you, Bob?" Bob promptly handed up and the distress immediately appeared from the face of other. Moral: Don't forget to often, Former Mayor of Magnolia Dies Magnolia, April 23 -iP- Luther A.

Hollywood By ROBBIN COONS Wide World Features. Writer Hollywood Sam Wood has fin- ished making "For Whom the Beil Tolls" but it looks as if he'll never finish hearing about it. He has already started work on his new film, "Saratoga with the "Bells" team of Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman in the leads and Flora Robson, wearing a make-up stain, as the negro servant.

But each mail brings new evidence that a lot of people are stirred up, one way or another, over the and their tolling. There was a report some time back that Paramount, with more than $200,000 tied up in the production, might never release it because of a possible State Department request in view of the! delicate situation in North Africa' and the ticklish question of Spain's attitude. This writing, the Paramount people insist they have had 110 such request, and certainly Wood has heard of none. But the letters keep coming some asking Wood, as one writer put it, to the flim for others insisting vehemently that it be given the carliest possible release. Wood's view is, as he has said before, that "Bells" in movie form is simply a "great love story." "It's a love story with a brutal background in the Spanish civil war," he says.

"I didn't go out to make that war, which is now over and done with. It happens that the hero is an American boy who lied for an ideal. It happens that he cast his lot with the Republicans against the Nationalists, so that's in our love story too."

Until the firing stops there will be no common denominator for appraising political or economic situation. What form it will lake may depend on the success of lict and rehabilitation efforts after an Allied invasion of the continent. Already destitute by four years of war, there will be little relation between the needs of liberated Europe and its ability to pay. Some informed observers already are talking of a European plan for financing help to the stricken peoples. Payment for goods received in the emergency relief period would be made with goods produced as result of reconstruction efforts.

As after the last war, the United States is expected to provide most of the material nid. This presumption already has been made a pail of the propaganda distributed on the continent by the exiled Allied governments. With the supplying of raw matesjials may come the ticklish question of competitive business who will sell the raw materials, private organizations or government? Other knotty problems involve questions of the restitution of property stolen by Germany from ate individuals and how for firms confiscated by the Nazis incorporation in the German war machine will be turned back to their former owners. The Allies will have to answer such momentous questions if they smash Hitler's Reich into "death. dust and ashes" as promised by Prime Minister Churchill.

How they are answered may determine the extent to which liberated pooples will subscrib to a tic new order enfisaged by United Nations leaders. Adolf Hitter warned that he would cause so many changes 111 Congress to I Probe Rubber Situation Washington.

Jeffers demanded, und got, E1 investigation yesterday after Unlersecretary of War Patterson was quoted as saying the aerial offensive was being restarded because materials needed ot produce aviation gasoline were diverted to the rubber program. Charman Gillette (D- of the Senate Agriculture Sub committee announced his group would investigate the dispute at once. Petroleum Administrator Ickes backed up Patterson's reported with the assertion the 100 octane gasoline program had been given "a sock in the jaw" by an increase in materials and equipiment ordered for the rubber plant several months ago by Economic Stabilization Director James F.

As the Nazi system becomes more firmly implemented in the European economic life, Allied political leaders realize that warning was 110 idle assertion. An indication of Germany's expanded influence can be glimpsed from the fact that the third Reich increased from a population of 000,000 and area of 181,466 square miles to 104,133,000 persons and a territory of 321,575 square miles. That is all annexed and not occupied territory. Germany demonstrated, too that Europe's political and economic complexion could be changed quickly by revamping the administrative and economic machinery of occupied territories nnd establish. ing it common currency exchange.

United Nations leaders hold that the Allies, with an entirely different goul in mind, could make the same rapid changes to control food and raw materials. What they must guard against most, however, is a period of economic, warfare among the cessation European of countries following armed hostilities. Already careful to avoid any sign of imperialistic designs In Europe. American relief planners have predicated every post invasion step on the assumption that the politically-potent rehabilitation administration would be handled by local governments as fast as the change could be made efficiently. That brings up still another major question bothering the architects of the -war era.

To what extent will the exiled governments be able to speak authoritatively for people who have suffered under four years of war. All occupied countries with the exception of Denmark huve ernments in exile. Only the tides of battle will determine how Germany and those governments will be consituted after the war. Hearings on Manpower, Draft Ended Washington, April 23 -(P)- Ending four weeks of hearings 011 an assortment of manpower and draft bills, the House Military Committee turned over to subcommitice today the task of preparing a single measure acceptable to labor, agriculture and the administration.

Smith (D-Va) to prohibit the organization of superisory employes for collective bargaining Spokesmen for industry generally have supported the Smith bill, white lubor leaders have opposed it on the ground it would be the opening wedge in a campaign to outlaw all unions.
