MINISTER DECRYS
BOMBING OF ROME
Archbishop Of Detroit Ex
presses Surprise And
Regret At Raid
DETROIT, July 20.—<iB—Assert
ing that the war must be won in
the hearts and minds of men as
well as on land, on sea and in
the air, the Most Rev. E’dward
Mooney, archibishop of Detroit,
expressed "surprise and regret”
today that Allied military authori
ties had taken the moral risk in
volved in the recent bombing of
Rome.
At the same time, the archbish
op, who is chairman of the ad
ministrative board of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, said
the Italian government could have
prevented the danger to Rome’s
"priceless monuments of religion
and culture” had it declared Rome
an open city and acted “in sin
cere conformity with that decla
ration.”
He said the Pope’s plea that
Rome and its historic and sacred
treasures be spared the dangers
of war had been "flagrantly dis
regarded by those who made the
environs of Rome an apparently
safe arsenal.” It had been liter
ally respected, he said, “in the
detailed instructions which gov
erned the precision bombing of
military objectives in the imme
diate vicinity of the eternal city.”
"No one,” said Archibishop Moo
ney. “can fail to be impressed
by the elaborate precautions which
our military authorities took to
avoid damaging what all men of
culture hold dear and hundreds
of millions of Christians hold sa
cred.
"But with full weight given to
these considerations, the sense of
surprise and regret remains. The
city of Rome is the Episcopal See
of one. who more than any other
man on earth, worked and prayed
and pleaded to save mankind from
war’s desolation and destruction
who preached more insistently
than any other man on earth the
principles of justice and charity
that would have insured peace
with honor to all nations.
“The agencies of his world-wide
spiritual administration are not
concentrated in the Vatican but
scattrede throughou the city of
Rome which for centuries was his
city as well as his See;
"One shudders to think of the
moral risks which have been tak
en; this war will not be won mere
ly on land or sea or in the air;
it must be won in the hearts and
minds of men. A stray bomb re
leased by mistake over Rome may
do moral harm to our cause that
far outweighs the military value
of the most accurate destruction
of enemy supplies.
“May we not hope at least that
having shown the ineffectiveness
of enemy strategy in hiding sup
plies under the cover of sanctity
and culture, we will not subject
to further risk the moral idealism
that distinguishes and ennobles our
cause.”

British Officer Enjoys
First Steak In 4 Years
He had just eaten the first
steak he’d had in four years.
Perhaps that accounted for it,
for when genial Col. J. S. Muirhead
of the British Anti-Aircraft group
at Camp Davis sat in the Star
News office recently and between
diaws on an old pipe talked about
everything from the Versailles
Treaty of 1783 to post-war plan
ning, he was in high good humor
and his words made scintillating,
authoritative conversation.
It is easy to understand how
the colonel, attached to the Brit
ish staff in Washington, can fur
nish, in his inimitable Anglo-Scot
tish accent, smooth, analytical
comments. He is a lawyer by
ptofession, and a director of one
01 the Empire’s greatest journals,
The Glasgow Herald. He is a vet
eran of the first World War, and
has seen real action in this one,
notably during the siege of Tobruk.
His discussions of newspapers,
war, home-front life, politics and
post-war planning reflect broad
experience and conscientious ob
servation. He has a facility for
tve apt word.
The colonel talked of The Her
ald. He smilingly pointed out the
great scoop in the first issue of
his daiy—an account of France’s
recognition of the United States
government at Versailles in 1783.
Papers in the old days, before
syndicates and news gathering
agencies, he said, never hesitated
to advise their readers bluntly
when there was a dearth of hap
penings: “There is no news of
importance today.n
The visitor did not dwell at
length on Tobruk. “It was a good
show,’' he felt. The German planes
furnishing target for the anti-air
craft troops under his command
were able ships, he thought. He
didn’t minimize the strength of
the enemy.
The current turn of the war
pleases him, of course. And he
had praise for the harmonious
working together of the British
and American armies advancing
in the Mediterranean section. “The
fellows are now under one star.”
he said.
Comparing the two conflicts of
the century, the soldier declared
that this one was far less bloody.
“We have suffered only about one
tenth the casualties reported in
the last war.” He credited more
thorough training, better equip
ment, keener strategy, and better
first aid methods with the reduced
rate.
The English like the Americans
in England, the visitor observed.
Th/re are a few American ways
and expressions that they cannot
understand. For instance the Eng
lish are unused to seeing men
lean against buildings and posts,
casual-fashion. Yankees lean any
where—even at such public cross
ings as Piccadilly, just as they
stand against the drug-store on
Main "treet. It is" an amusing
practice, the English think.'
The colonel is able at compari
sons. Asked for his views on
America’s labor problems, speci
fically the strikes, he expressed
the opinion that labor in the Unit

ed States had not yet reached a
'stage of maturity.’*
“In England,” he added, "we
have had many serious strikes in
tiie past. I can remember the
terrible strikes in my early boy
hood. But that seems to be pretty
well over now. Labor has grown
up. The Labor Party is the oppo
sition party in English govern
ment. You Americans haven’t
gone through all that. Another
thing, your labor groups are hete
rogeneous. Many of your labor
ers come from communities here
that are not unlike those of east
ern European countries. You have
a greater problem than we. for
you have a mixture of peoples to
deal with.”
He also knows the word “bu
reaucracy.” He deplored too much
politics in government, and cited
the importance of a civil service
system that escapes the touch of
the politicians.
“Food is much scarcer in Eng
land than in America.” the colonel
volunteered, “but it is perhaps
better distributed. The food ad
ministration in this war is one of
the chief credits of the current
administration in England.”
Post-war planting hasn’t yet
bothered the average Britisher.
Colonel Muirhead revealed. Told
that every village and metropolis
in this country is on the alert for
its own post-war welfare, and that
most Americans are thinking in
terms of a world plan after the
fighting is over, the Scotsman ex
plained the picture on the other
RUSSIANS OPEN
450 MILE FRONT
(Continued From Page One)
another front continued boiling as
the Russians counter-attacked in
the Belgorod area and scored ad
vances of from six to eight miles,
the war bulletin said.
Hinting at intensification of the
offensive on the sprawling front,
the communique declared that “in
the southern Donets basin south of
Izvum and southwest of Voroshil
ovrad, engagements of local char
acter broke out. They have the
tendency to grow into serious bat
tles.”
Without declaring specifically
where the breach occurred, the
war bulletin said that Red army
forces had stormed across the
northern Donets river and the riv
er Mius, “considerably improving
their positions.”
In the Donets basin the Ger
mans last spring drove deep back
into the rich industrial area to
take Slavyansk and Kharkov and
set up strong defense lines along
the west bank of the river.
Scores of efforts to probe the
Russian defenses along that line,
however, were futile. The Rus
sians held, making occasional fo
rays of their own across the
stream but never attempting to
gain more than bridgeheads for
reconnaissance.
side. There, citizens are more
concerned with immediate protec
tion from the enemy. In addition,
the newspapers, for want of pa
per are so thin that they have no
space for speculative articles. (He
believes that Americans are more
speculative by nature, too). The
colonel, frankly, doesn’t know how
il all should be worked out when
the victory is accomplished. He
seemed more concerned with the
task at hand.
The humor of the man is in
fectious He doesn't manage a run
ning barrage of wit. but he has
a sharpened sense of the funny.
He likes the leaction of the Amer
icans to the British. Just before
the colonel, dressed in his khaki
shorts, with colorful cap and leath
er swagger-stick in hand, started
to leave, he cegan to muse on the
possibilities of a cricket match
between two British teams for the
benefit of Wilmingtonians.
“And if we have such a match
at your stad’um,” he concluded,
“we ought to let your people go
with us to tea. They would love
that.”
