THE WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL' Wisconsin Tuesday, September 30, 19411 Madison i a Simply a Gift, Sheridan Says of Brent's Sparkler Help Move to Impeach FDR, Bar Resolution Requests INDIANAPOLIS (U.R) The Nearly 2 Million war, and will not lodge with the people. Behold, he ii hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it shall come to pass, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.

Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes unto that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there. And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the Lord had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. Then sent Hushai quickly to tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over, lest the king be swallowed up an all the people that are with him THEN DAVID AROSE, AND all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan; by the morning light there lacked not on of them that was not gone over Jordan. AND WHEN" AHITHOPHEL saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

Italians (Continued from page 1) had broken out among Italian troops on the eastern front. London also reported that thousands of persons had been arrested by the Gestapo in Czechoslovakia. A Daily Mail dispatch "from the German frontier" (presumably the Swiss side) gave the same report and said that hundreds of persons had been arrested in Prague alone. This dispatch said among persons executed in Czechoslovakia Monday were the editor of a Prague newspaper, a Prague bak er, a cabinet maker and a clerk. Persons arrested, the dispatch said, included Karel Healer, a famous Prague comedian, whose songs ridiculing Germans had put him on the Gestapo black list.

It was asserted that Gen. Alois Elias, premier in the German-dominated Czech cabinet who was arrested when the Germans declared a state of emergency in six key Czechoslovak areas, had been sent to Berlin for trial. Nazi Pessimism Grows He was accused of having been in contact with the Czechoslovak government in exile here. A Zurich dispatch of the British Exchange Telegraph quoted "a neutral observer just returned after months in Germany, whose jugment and impartiality are affirmed by the editor," as writing in the newspaper Nation of bad conditions in Germany. According to the dispatch the observer said that pessimism was growing in both the Nazi party and in some army circles.

"It is reliably asserted that as the result of the Russian campaign about 50 per cent of the pick of the German army had been put out of action by mid-September and that the losses of German air force squadrons had been as high as 70 per cent," the observer wrote. The observer was quoted that the food situation in Germany was getting worse now that Germany had failed to get anything out of the Ukraine, that textile substitutes were short, and that there was "something of a buying panic and signs of money inflation." British, iijiss Busy He wrote that leading financiers in Germany had told him that the middle and pooler classes could stand no more taxes and the German government would have to demand the greatest sacrifices of the rich. The observer wrote that most heavy industrialists and about 50 per cent of the middle and working classes still supported Adolf Hitler. British and Russian propaganda machines were busy exploiting what seemed to be steadily growing unrest throughout German-occupied Europe. They were broadcasting in all languages appeals and messages of encouragement.

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, in a special broadcast Monday night to Czechs, said all attempts of Hitler to crush the Czechs and other oppressed peoples would fail. A Polish speaker on the London radio told Poles who understood German to listen in to German broadcasts of the British radio, because the Germans could not always distinguish them from German programs and thus could not penalize listeners. Russia was reported to have granted full religious freedom to 1,500,000 Poles in Russian territory and to have promised to return all church property confiscated from Polish churches in Russia. Moose Sponsor Pictures Tonight Le Roy Crooks, cinematogra-pher and traveler, will show the film, "The Pursuit of Happiness," the color film, "Young America," and several short film subjects, at a free public meeting at 8 tonight in Central high school under the auspices of the Madison Lodge No. 1451, Loyal Order of Moose.

This will be the first time that "Young America" will be shown in a Wisconsin city. Crooks is a graduate of the "child city" at Mooseheart, Ind. This World (Continued from page 1) unto the king. Behold, thy er-vants are ready to do whatsoever rry lord the king shall appoint. And the king went forth and aU his household after him.

And the king left 10 women, which were concubines, to keep the house. And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that wa far off THEN SAID THE KING TO Ittai the Getite, Wherefore goest also with us? Return to thy place and abide with the king; for thou art a tranger, and also an exile. Whereas thou earnest but yeerday, should I this day n-ake thee go up and down with us1 Seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee. And Ittai answered the king, and said. As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy serv ant be.

And David said to Ittai, Go, and pass over. And Ittai the Getite passed over, and all his men. and all the little ones that were with him. AND ALL THE COUNTRY wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: th king also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way cf the wilderness. AND LO ZADOK ALSO, tr.i all the Levities were with him bearing the ark of the cf God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abi-ather up, until all the people had done passing out ot the city.

And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the City: If I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me again, and shew me bcth it and his habitation. Bat if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. AND DAVID WENT UP BY the ascent of Mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went bare-foct: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. AND ONE TOLD DAVID, saymg, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

And it came pass that when David came to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God. behold, Hushai the Archite carr.e to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon head: Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me; But if thou return to the city and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, king, as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel and ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear. and Absalom came into Jerusalem. II SAMEUL. 16:20: Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father; then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong. So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalon went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those dars. was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: was ail the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. 11 SAMUEL.

17,1: MORE-ever Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out 12,000 men and I will arise and pursue after David this night: And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid and all the people that are with him shall flee and I shall smite the king only: And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace. And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of IsraeL Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. And when Hushai was coma to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Atbithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not, peak thou. And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Athi-thcphel hath given is not good this time. For.

said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the L.t'.d; and thy father is a man of Anna Thompson Miss Anna Thompson, 73, of 101 S.

Findeisen Named Mine Coordinator A. H. Findeisen, Wisconsin state inspector of mines, was appointed emergency coordinator of mines for Wisconsin Monday by Gov. Heil. Findeisen will cooperate with the Office of Production Management under the new priority act P-56 which permits the operators of mines to obtain emergency repairs, equipment for necessary maintenance, and essential operating supplies direct from their supplier, so their operation schedules will be maintained.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin college of engineering, Findeisen has been connected with the state industrial commission for 22 years. all them that rose up against thee. And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my "lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, my son Absalom, my son. my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son! I DO NOT KNOW.

.1 ONLY know that I have read of Absalom, who came home smirking and fawning and insincere, winning little by little forgiveness and trust from his father, David. And I only know I have read of Adolf Hitler, a sign and a symbol, smirking and fawning and insincere, but winning trust, little by little from his people. I know about the words and the ways Absalom used to draw his father's people to him "and I would do him justice!" And I know how Adolf Hitler "stole the hearts of the men" of Germany. I have read how Absalom wormed permission and a blessing for his journey to Hebron then sent spies to await his signal And I have read how Adolf Hitler talked to the old and beloved Von Hinderburg and wormed permission and a "and they went in their simplicity and they knew not anything." I have been told how Absalom fouled and violated his father's house, to horrify some of the people, but to "make strong" and solidify the people who were with him. And I have been told how Adolf Hitler murdered and persecuted, killing his own friends and helpers, to horrify some of the people, but to "make strong" and solidify the people who were with him.

I remember how David sent back into the city the ark of the Lord and I think that a great people have yet an ark somewhere, awaiting, in Germany. I know there was Ittai, a stranger, to help. There are strangers to help today. There was Ahithophel, who advised and whose advice was spurned, and so he fled. And there was Rudolf Hess, who advised.

whosa advice was spurned, and so he fled. Is there, too, a Hushai? I do not know. Is there yet within the people a voice that will make them say, "Spare the young man, Absalom?" though they know that he is false and cruel and without honor? Do they cling yet so hard to a hope, a promise, dishonest and false though it be? Is there, too, a Joab? I do not know. SOME DAY, THERE IS THIS story to write, loo. It cannot be written now.

I can only know that the old one was written, at the end, in this way, with strife and sorrow, and the cry for something that was once beloved and trusted, a symbol, a hope: my son, my son resolutions committee of the American Bar assn. Monday took under advisement 12 proposals dealing largely with national policy, including one which urged that the association engage in a movement to impeach President Roosevelt for alleged efforts "to create a war situation." The committee met as 3,000 of the nation's lawyers convened in the opening of the five-day session. Principal speakers included the association's Pres. Jacob M. Lashly, U.

S. Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle, and Roscoe Pound, dean emeritus of the Harvary law school. The impeachment resolution was offered by Joseph Harrington, Chicago.

It proposed that the association appoint a committee to collect "evidence of overt acts and statements by Franklin D. Roosevelt to create a war situation and that such committee turn over its evidence to the U. S. senate for the purpose of having impeachment proceedings inst i against the president of the United States." The resolution drew heated opposition from Palmer Hutcheson, Houston, verging almost on a fist fight between him and Harrington. A motion to table the impeachment resolution was waived by the committee, which will report on it and others to the association in general Thursday.

Another resolution, introduced both in committee and before a general session earlier, supported repeal of the neutrality act.

Presumably this mean that Germany lacked sufficient planes to carry out all the missions needed to keep the fronts both in the east and the west active.

morning by two masked men who broke into their apartment in the club house. The guests of a Saturday night dance had gone home only a short while before, Mrs. Miley said, before she entered a coma from which she has not yet revived, that the men demanded the receipts. Fred Miley, golf professional, Miss Miley's father, expressed the belief she had been killed because she recognized the men. Police said they had questioned Lexington residents, and would continue to do so, in an effort to learn if Turner were known in the city or if he had a cousin here.

Mrs. Miley 'Grave' The police record describes Turner as "going in for golf and dancing" made him a likely suspect. The possibility that the criminals attended the dance was strengthened, police said, by the fact they were sufficiently familiar with the club premises to enter without breaking locks or windows and to find and pull master light switches. Meanwhile, Mrs. Miley remained in a grave condition at St.

Joseph's hospital. She had received five blood transfusions, but physicians gave her only the slightest chance of recovering from three bullet wounds in the abdomen.

Meanwhile, Chairman Tom Connally of the senate foreign relations committee called for neutrality law changes that would allow American merchant ships "to be armed and enter combat zones or ports of nations at war." Although Connally argued in his radio speech that "repeal of the so-called neutrality act would not be unneutral," he appealed only for, elimination of the ban on arming of merchantmen and amendment of the prohibition against such ships entering combat zones. This was taen to indicate that President Roosevelt possibly might go that far in any request to congress. On this basis, it was thought unlikely Mr.

Roosevelt would ask outright repeal of the law. Calling for repeal of the provision barring arming of merchantmen, Connally said: "It is my view that merchant ships that are now being ruthlessly attacked upon the high seas, while on lawful business, ought to be allowed to arm for their necessary self-defense for the defense of human lives upon their decks for the defense of their property and their rights." Holding that establishment of combat zones under the neutrality act has "failed" and that effective aid under this country's established policy to help victims of aggression "requires the delivery of arms, munitions and implements of war where they can be successfully employed," Connally said: "It is, therefore, my further view that the so-called neutrality act should be amended with respect to the freedom of our ships to sail wherever they are permitted to sail under international law. I favor the removal of the ban against their entering combat zones or going on lawful missions to the ports of nations at war. These are our undeniable rights under the law of nations." In strongest terms, Connally said that "Hitler and his Nazi terrorism must be destroyed." Simultaneously, Wendell L. Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential nominee, revealed that he favors repeal of the act.

He indicated that certain administrative provisions, such as the munitions control board, might be retained. But he said he favored repeal of major provisions restricting movements of American ships and forbidding their arming. Regents (Continued from page 1) the regents, verified the regent grant today.

And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all. the men of Israel with him II SAMUEL, 18, 1: AND David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and thousands. And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying. Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom.

And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. SO THE PEOPLE WENT out into the field against Israel; and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim; Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter that day of 20,000 men. For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people than the sword devoured. AND ABSALOM MET THE servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

And a certain man saw it and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him and, why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee 10 shekels of silver and a girdle. And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: forin our hearing the king charges thee, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life; for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldst have set thyself against me. Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee.

And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. And 10 young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held back the people. And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. NOW ABSALOM IN HIS lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absa-lam's place AND BEHOLD CUSHI came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day ot Escaped Convict Sought in Miley Case LEXINGTON, Ky.

(U.R) Police hunted an escaped convict desperado who "goes in for golf and dancing," and his murderous companion today as the investigation of the murder of Marion Mi-ley, top-flight woman golfer, was spurred by rewards totaling The convict was Forest Turner, 24, apparently, from police circulars, a debonair crook with a fondness for the easy conviviality of country clubs. He was said to have a cousin here and may be a Lexington boy and known to his victim, who was brought up on the rolling green expanses of the swank Lexington Country club where she was slain. Turner escaped from the "little Alcatraz" prison camp at Dallas, where he was serving 78 years for robbery and escaped with Sim Scarborough, 41, a murderer, who was serving life, on Aug. 12. Tampa, police notified local authorities that they had been traced, by a chain of bank and filling station robberies, into northern Tennessee, near the Kentucky border.

Recognized Men? Miss Miley was slain and her mother, Mrs. Fred Miley, was critically wounded early Sunday.
