Chain of Educational,
Agencies to Combat
'Isms' Is Urged
James B. Murphy
To Head Catholic
Fraternities
A Nation-wide chain of educa
tional agencies—to be composed of
representatives cf all religious de
nominations—to combat "isms” was
advocated yesterday at the annual
convention of Baltimore and Wash
ington Catholic Fraternities in the
Continental Hotel.
Edmund McNeil, past president of
the fraternities group, who proposed
the plan, declared such an organiza
tion is necessary' to penetrate "even
further than the clergymen can
reach.”
Deploring the growing strength of
“ism” propaganda, Mr. McNeil said
the proposed organization would
"put the lie—word for word—on
every bit of Communist and Nazi
propaganda.” He said the Dies Com
mittee investigating un-American
activities has done a "good job.” but
urged a "follow-through” organiza
tion to use all information produced
—in order to combat the “isms.”
More than 300 delegates attend
ed the convention, the business of
which included election of supreme
officers. James B. Murphy of Balti
more was elected supreme president.
John J. Fitzpatrick, of this city was
re-elected supreme vice president.
Other officers chosen, most of them
being re-elected, are William C.
Rogers, Baltimore, supreme council
lor: Dr. Benjamin Haden. Baltimore,
supreme physician: William J. Hall,
Baltimore, supreme treasurer; Mrs.
Elsie Harsh. Washington, supreme
orator; Ellsworth Goodrich, Miss
Amelia Jones and Mrs. Margaret
McMullen, all of Baltimore, supreme
trustees.
Yesterday's meetings were opened
with mass at St. Patrick's Catholic
Church, celebrated by the Rev.
Thomas B. Dade, chaplain of the
Washington assemblies of the fra
ternities. The assemblies represent
ed included St. Rita's and St. Pat
rick's, this city: St. Joan of Arc,
Maris Stella, Lafayette, Lord Balti
more and St. Clements of Baltimore.
Distinguished clergymen attending
the meetings included the Very Rev.
Msgr. Joseph Manns, assistant chan
cellor of the archdiocese; the Rev.
Maurice Roach of St. Jerome's
Church, Baltimore, and the Rev.
Charles Bogan. St. Elizabeth’s
Church, Baltimore.

“It is a spectacle that is nauseat
ing to the American people.” the
statement continued. "They are
beginning to wonder whether our
lefender of the laws really is an
intrepid Galahad in shining armor
pr a complaisant Don Quixote tilt

Department of Justice Answers.
The Department of Justice’s an
swering statement said:
"It obviously seems to be a curi
ous coincidence that the Republican
National Committee issues a state
ment tonight in the name of J.
Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, ac
:using the Department of Justice
Df laxity in considering the Browder
case.
“The facts are that the depart
ment has been actively preparing

Spectacular Plane
Deliveries Due If
Embargo Is Lifted
Flying of Craft to
Carrier in Midocean
Held One Method
By the Associated Press.
Spectacular measures to speed up
the delivery of American-made war
planes to Europe may be expected
if the arms embargo is lifted.
France and Britain need in a
hurry the fighters, bombers and
other craft ordered here to rein
force their defenses against any
German aerial “blitzkrieg.”
Probably none of the 300 or so
planes already awaiting delivery is
capable of spanning the Atlantic
by air, but they could go part of the
way. Indications are that some at
least will leave the United States
under their own power, instead of on
crates stowed away in the holds of
slow-moxing, vulnerable freighters.
Several possibilities are open that
appear to be both practicable and in
accord with the administration's
proposed Neutrality Act revision,
and it is a safe assumption that all
are being explored.
Would Save Delay.
To save thS delay involved in
shipping planes in knockdown form
to be reassembled and tested on
arrival, they might be conveyed
ready for action in a fast British
or French aircraft carrier.
If a presidential proclamation or
neutrality law ruling should bar
a belligerent warship on such a
mission from American ports, itj
coum san irom c,anana, auei me
planes had been flown across the
border.
An even faster and more spec
tacular method would be to fly the
planes several hundred miles at
sea to a carrier which could launch
them into the air upon nearing
Europe and then speed back to this
side of the Atlantic for another
cargo.
By this means the warplanes
might be in France in three or
four days. Difficulties with the
new 300-mile safety zone around
the Americas might be forestalled
by keeping the carrier beyond its
outer limit, but still well within
the range of any combat plane.
Regardless of British and French
claims that they have overtaken
Germany in warplane production,
the allies want the American planes
just as quickly as they can get them.
Fighting Ability Shown.
In quality, some 250 Curtiss Hawk
single-engine fighters have shown
the ability in combat over the west- j
ern front to cope on at least equal
terms with the Nazis' famous Mes
serschmidts. Some American ex- i
perts doubt that Germany has
planes to match the 100 Douglas
and 400 Martin attack bombers
which France ordered early this
year. '
In numbers, the American-made
planes ready for delivery represent
the prospective losses of only a few
days of unrestricted aerial warfare,
but decisions in wartime often
hinge on small margins.
When the war started, France and
Britain had contracted with Amer- ;
ican manufacturers for about 1.300
warplanes of all types. President j
Roosevelt's neutrality proclamation
canceled delivery of 600 or more. <
Now it is reported that a French
mission is authorized to order 2.750
additional planes and a British mis- •
sion is ready to contract for some :
3.000. I
Ship Shelled Without Warning,
French Tanker Captain Says
One Seaman Killed, 38 Others Allowed
To Lower Lifeboat, Survivors Sav
Bt the Associated Press. 1
BOSTON, Oct. 23.—Survivors of
the huge French tanker Emile
Miguet told today how a German
U-boat had opened fire upon their
highly explosive vessel without
warning, with one shell cutting a
seaman almost in half, but then
had allowed others of the crew to (
escape before' torpedoing the ship. <
Capt. Robert Andrade of the Emile i
Miguet, the biggest commercial ves
sel yet bagged by Nazi submarines,
described vividly the sudden attack, i
as he and the 38 other survivors
arrived here on the American res
cue shop Black Hawk.
The French tanker was about .
two days off the French coast on ,
October 12 and dusk had just fallen
when the first shell screamed over
head. Seven or eight other shells ,
followed in quick succession, Capt. ‘
Andrade said. J
"One struck the crew's quarters,
almost cutting in half Joseph
LeMaou, an 18-year-old apprentice *
seaman," he said.
Packed in Like Sardines. 1
LaMaou was the only one lost in ]
the sinking, his body being left
aboard the slowly sinking tanker.
One other crew member suffered a 1
head injury from shell fire, but re- s
covered after treatment aboard the 1
Black Hawk. <
"I hailed the submarine after the 1
first burst of shellfire." Capt. An- t
drade said, "and asked permission 1
to take my men off before the ship
was sunk. The German commander 1
granted this permission, and all 39 1
of us crowded into the one lifeboat <
that was left after the shelling. j ]
“We were packed in like sardines,'s
>ut otherwise we suffered no par
icular discomfort during the more
;han 31 hours we floated before
;he Black Hawk picked us up. We
lad plenty of food and water.”
After the crew had taken to Its
tingle boat, the German undersea
:raft swung across the Emile Mi*
:uet’s bow, within a hundred yards
>f the ship, before firing a torpedo
hat struck amidship. The tanker
mckled in the middle, in fact, al
nost broke in half, but still re
nalned tenaciously afloat.
Didn’t Catch Fire at Once.
Even then the Emile Miguet did
lot catch fire immediately, and
'apt. Andrade expressed the opln
on that the U-boat, which hurried
iff as if in search of another ship,
eturned later to fire sn incendiary
hell into the ship. At least the
urvivors saw a tremendous red
;lare light the sky later that night.
The length of time before the
anker caught fire occasioned some
urprise here, for she was carrying
i heavy load of gasoline. The Emile
diguet sailed from Corpus Christi,
rex., on September 17.
The survivors had a narrow escape
rom an even longer passage in their
mall boat, for they were picked up
iy the Black Hawk about 2 a.m. on
October 14. The American ship saw
he lifeboat's flare, but thought a
ubmarine was using this method of
lalting the vessel.
Capt. Andrade, who was wounded
chile serving with the French ln
antry in the World War. told his
lory here in somewhat halting
English. The 46-year-olti skipper
aid his crew was in good spirits.

Nazis Circulate Charge
British Sank Athenia
Br the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 23. — Germany's
propaganda machine was active to
day circulating Propaganda Minis
ter Paul Joseph Goebbels’ charges
that the British passenger liner
Athenia was sunk in a “primitive
and criminal" trick to draw the
United States into the war.
Dr. Goebbels’ speech, made last
night, was virtually the only story
in German newspapers today, while
the radio in many languages was
challenging Britain's first lord of the
admiralty, Winston Churchill, to
clarify the circumstances surround
ing the destruction of the ship on
which many Americans were passen
gers.
"How could you say, Mr. Church
ill, that the Athenia was sunk by
a German torpedo when you knew
it went down under the fire of three
British destroyers?’’ Dr. Goebbels
asked.
“How can you contend the Athenia
was hit by a German torpedo when
the vessel remained afloat 14 hours?
You know from the swift sinking of
the heavily armored Royal Oak how
a German torpedo works.”
Gustav A. Anderson of Evanston.
111., a passenger on the Athenia.
told a congressional committee last
week that the ship did not sink im
mediately, that he saw it some time
before noon the following day,
which would be from 12 to 16 hours
after the British claimed she was
torpedoed by a German submarine.
"I learned later that it was sunk by
British destroyers as it was a float
ing derelict,” he said.
Besides blaming a German subma
rine for the destruction of the
Athenia, the British asserted further
that the underwater craft shelled it
and its passengers.
Still addressing Mr. Churchill. Dr.
Goebbels said: "It is your turn to
speak. • • • Tell the truth about the
Athenia.”
Dr. Goebbels said his charge that
the sinking of the ship on September j
3 a few hours after Britain declared
war on Germany was confirmed by
American witnesses, among whom
he named Mr. Anderson.
Dr. Goebbels said his charges were
made on the declaration of Ameri
can witnesses that three British
destroyers sank the Athenia after j
the original blast proved inadequate'
to send the vessel down.
Adolf Hitler's newspaper Voel
kischer Beobachter made a similar
assertion Saturday.
"Our charges are so exact and so
precise that they cannot be ig
nored.” he continued. "When made
by the German press, Churchill
sought to dismiss these charges
lightly. But he must take note of
them if they are made by a German
minister—or by his silence he will
have to acknowledge guilt.”

The snow was a wet one and as

The greatest demand in years
