Bishpp Asks Catholics
To Support President
On Neutrality Act
Chicago Prelate Urges
Backing as Cardinal
Mundelein's Last Message
By tht Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Bishop Bern
ard J Sheil of Chicago dispatched a
strong appeal to Catholics of the
Nation today to support President
Roosevelt in his course toward keep
ing America out of war.
It was an appeal spoken amid
world-wide sorrow over the death
of George Cardinal Mundelein,
Archbishop of Chicago, and Bishop
Sheil said it carried the cardinal’s
approval and constituted his “last
message."
Cardinal Mundelein died, at 67,
of coronary thrombosis in bed yes
terday morning at his residence in
suburban Mundelein. Bishop Sheil
spoke over the radio some 12 hours
later, in his new position as tem
porary head of the Chicago Arch
diocese.
“The course of America seems
so clear,” he said. “It is to stay
out of Europe until peace comes
to Europe—and under no circum
stances send our American youth
into Europe’s wars. • * *
Must Strengthen President.
“A few days ago you perhaps saw
reprinted in your papers an editorial
from the Osservatore Romano, the
official newspaper of the Vatican.
Every American Catholic must glow
with pride at the commendation
which that editorial of the Vatican
gave to President Roosevelt’s mes
sage to Congress recommending
changes in the so-called Neutrality
Act and the identity that editorial
established between the views of
the Holy Father and the views of
our own President.”
Bishop Sheil added "and in par
ticular the editorial praises the
President's message for its ‘noble
appeal to religion,’” and then he
said:
"And it is in the spirit of the
warmth and gladness of the Vat
ican’s response to the President's
message that we members of the
Catholic faith in the United States
must do everything in our power to
strengthen the President in his
mighty task of guiding America to
safety.
“That should give the key to the
attitude of American Catholics on
the recommendations of the Presi
dent now before the Congress to
keep this country out of war.”
17 War. TnmnrfAnr
Bishop Sheil, as senior auxiliary
bishop of Chicago, ruled the arch
diocese until the diocesan consultors
meet today to select an adminis
trator to serve during the interreg
num between Cardinal Mundelein’s
death and appointment of his suc
cessor by Pope Pius XII.
Meantime, leaders of the diocese,
one of the largest and wealthiest in
the world, prepared for the rites be
fitting the burial of a prince of the
church.
The body will lie in state in Holy
Name Cathedral beginning tonight,
guarded by monsignori and papal
knights. Pontifical masses were
scheduled for tomorrow and Thurs
day and the pontifical requiem mass
at the cathedral Friday at 10:30
am. A host of members of the
North American hierarchy was ex
pected for the rites, ending with
burial in a special crypt behind the
altar of the chapel at St. Mary of
the Lake Seminary, in Mundelein.
President Roosevelt, an old friend
of Cardinal Mundelein, sent con
dolences .as did Pope Pius and a host
of others.
Officials Send
Condolences
The death of George Cardinal
Mundelein yesterday brought expres
sions of sorrow from leaders in Gov
ernment who had known the Cath
olic prelate intimately during his 15
years as head of the Chicago Arch
diocese.
Secretaries Hull, Hopkins and
Farley said they were grieved by thi
loss. President Roosevelt sent i
message to Bishop Bernard J. Shei
of Chicago.
“I was privileged to enjoy hii
friendship over a long period ol
years,” Secretary of State Hull said
of the cardinal. "A great Ameri
can of unusual ability and capacity
he was ever ready, cheerfully, tc
give the utmost of his splendid tal
ents to the public service.”
Secretary of Commerce Hopkint
said that Cardinal Mundelein
“through deed and work, alwa,yt
served as an inspiration.”
"Cardinal Mundelein was an out
standing American as well as a
great churchman,” Postmaster Gen
eral Farley said, “and he never lost
an opportunity to let the American
people know of his attitude on anj
great public question.”
Similar sentiment was expressed
by Senator Barkley of Kentucky
the majority leader, and Illinois
two Democratic Senators, Scot!
Lucas and James Slattery.
The Most Rev. Amleto Giovann:
Cicognani, apostolic delegate, said
the church had lost “not only an
outstanding administrator, but t
truly great churchman.”
“Numerous churches as well af
educational and charitable institu
tions in the Archdiocese of Chi
cago are a monument to his active
and fruitful zeal,” the Vatican rep
resentative said.
i Texas Cow puncher Arrives
To Collect Stagecoach Mail
Horsedrawn Relic of
Old West Plods Way
To World's Fair
A drawling, red-faced Texas cow
puncher, with uptown Ideas on solu
tion of transportation problems
pulled into Washington today to
await the arrival of the first Texas
to-New York stagecoach in many a
-day.
L. A. Parton, who figured the best
way for him to get to the World’s
Fair from his "bunk” in Marlin
was to transport a load of letters on
a horse-drawn relic of the Old
West, is a sort of advance guard for
the mailcoach which is scheduled
to arrive here about Friday.
Puncher Parton is not scouting
for Indians but is riding ahead of
the stagecoach to collect additional
letters and have them ready for a
quick pickup.
‘‘We gotta get her through by
October 20,” the cowboy allows, “so
we ain't losin' any time settin’
around.”
Mr. Parton brought along a load

_—Star Staff Photo.
of specially stamped envelopes from
Mineral Wells, Tex., origin of the
trip, and these he will distribute to
those who would send a letter by
stagecoach at the Washington Board
of Trade or Ms own headquarters
at the La Payette Hotel.
Mr. Parton said that he and his
partners have averaged picking up
about 300 letters a day.
The special stamps, including a
"Stage Coach Express” label, are
autographed by himself; Bub Heaf
ner, the coach driver, or Bill
Robertson, the coach clerk.
The cowboy’s idea has the blessing
of the Mineral Wells Chamber of
Commerce and the stagecoach full
of letters tells its success.
Mr. Parton explained that the
letters are to be turned over to
postal authorities for the first time
at the World's Pair, and from there
will be rushed to their destinations
by modem modes of transportation.
The stagecoach pulled out of
Mineral Wells July 15 and has aver
aged about 25 miles per day since
then, the cowboy said. In Hot
Springs, Ark., the Junior Chamber
of Commerce placed on the coach
a Jug of mineral water to be de
livered to the Junior Board of Com
merce here.
The stagecoach will remain in
Washington until Saturday morn
ing, Mr. Parton said, and then the
horses will gallop on to Baltimore,
the next stop.
Mr. Parton, self-styled former
newspaper man and manager of
the Nacomo (Tex.) Chamber of
Commerce as well as a “first rate”
cownuncher. Is 35 and single.
Right now he can’t keep his mind
off letters. "You know, I ain’t
heard a word from my gal since I
left,” he admitted woefully.

Repairing • Renovizing • Modernizing Homes
No Job Is Too Small For
The Eberly Plan
Right now, in the transition
period between seasons, there are many
minor repairs, of more or less
importance, needed to put the house in
order for the winter.
The advantages of calling on The
Eberly Plan to do them are self-evident
—even if it is only the matter of easing
a door; or closing up cracks and
crevices to keep out the cold. Or, maybe
the heating plant needs tuning up—and
so on throughout the house.
Instead of “parceling” these repairs
out, with an overhead profit to be paid
to each individual trade employed,
turn them over to The Eberly Plan.
Then you know they will be taken care
of properly and promptly — and with
only ONE modest profit—and with
ONE responsibility7—OURS.
, Just remember that Eberly Plan
service is not measured by the size of
today’s job—but for the service of the
long future.

Rome, they tell us, wasn’t built in a
. day. Well, neither was this 1940
Buick you see burning the breeze here.
We’ve had our mind’s eye on a car like
this for quite a spell, but until now we
simply couldn’t make the grade.
You’ll understand why when you
• know what we were aiming for. We
wanted to combine in one car all the
best we’ve learned in our 36 years in
this business.
We thin we’ve got it now. A standout
sparkling car with action power and
staying power. Beauty and brawn,
nifty and thrifty—an old man’s darling
and a young man’s dream.
It would be hopeless to try to, list the
whole range of new features—there are
some 72 in all.
But you can’t drive this car a mile with
out knowing that you have got hold ©f
something that tops anything you ever
handled.
It’s smoother, steadier, firmer on the ,
line. It gets up and goes right now, and
keeps going without wander, tailwag
or wind-swerve.
It takes the roughest roads in its stride,
and the wheels can twinkle Jike a dan
cer’s toes without even easing the in
side of your knees on the cushion.
We don’t want to go hinting about
speed, but this eager baby can whisk
you to forty-five in first!
The sudden, soaring, millrace power
of its matchless Dynafiash straight
eight engine, electrically balanced
after assembly to micropoised perfec
tion, is velocity smoothed to velvet.
Its low-swung steel-thewed chassis is
keeled like a battleship with its over
size torque-tube backbone.
Yes, this beauty is our all-time high—
the car we’ve been shooting at for lo!
these many years.
Come drive it and you’ll see why.
