Four Army Chaplains
Lost on Dorchester
Eulogized for Heroism
Pour Army chaplains who went
down heroically with the transport
Dorchester off Greenland five years
ago were eulogized yesterday at a
luncheon sponsored by the National
Conference of Christians and Jews.
The luncheon followed White
House ceremonies, at which Presi
dent Truman and close relatives of
the four chaplains were given sheets
of the commemorative 3-cent
stamps honoring their heroism.
The luncheon, held in the Willard
Hotel, was attended by relatives of
the men, who were posthumously
awarded Distinguished Service
crosses. Among these were the
widow of the Rev. George L. Fox,
of Sharon, Vt.; Daniel L. Poling, jr„
brother of the Rev. Clark V. Poling
of Philadelphia; Mrs Anne Schwoe
bel, sister of the Rev. John Wash
ington of Newark, N. J., and the
widow of Rabbi Alexander Goode
of Washington.
The four men, representing two
Protestant denominations, and the
Jewish and Catholic faiths died
after turning over their life belts
to men unable to reach other belts.
They joined hands in prayer as the
ship was sinking.
The story, subsequently told by
survivors, was subjected to extensive
investigation and corrobration by
the War Department, and the post
