‘We Cannot Protect Tells Businessmen in

U. S. With Just an Army,’ Dr. Beaven

Talk Before C. of C.;

Christian Mission Moves Ahead.

Indianapolis businessmen were entreated today to coordinate their national defense efforts with the “inner de-

fenses” of religion.

Dr. Albert W. Beaven, Colgate-Rochester | Divinity School president and a member of the Greater Indianapolis National Christian Mission voiced the plea at a luncheon

meeting of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce in the

Claypool Hotel Riley Room.

The Mission is the climax of a year’s planning by an interdenominational commtitee of 100 representative citi-

zens and 34 sub-committees. “We can’t defend America with just guns and |battleships any more than France could defend herself with just an army,” Dr. Beaven de-

clared. :

“In America’s situation today, the question of the character of the people, their ideas of loyalty and life and of God, the need of sacrifice for the common good—all these things make up our inner defenses. “We in America must expect intelligent co-operation from business in its relation to the church. Many men can run a business but cannot build a character.

Cites Challenge

“We can’t win on the present basis of indifference to the claims of God. The men who have the ability to lead must accept their share of the responsibility. . This is the opinion and challenge of this mission.” The idea behind the mission was explained by Dr. Jesse M. Bader, mission national director, at a breakfast meeting of mission speakers and local leaders at the SpinkArms Hotel today. Its purpose, he said, were to “reach the unreached,” re-interest lapsed church members, and to strengthen the spiritual foundations of democracy. Dr. E. Stanley Jones, missionary from India, advocated strict discipline from within the ranks at a ieeting of Indiana ministers at the "frst Baptist Church this morning. “A small disciplined minority Zroup could change the history of our nation,” he said. “Probably it will have to start with the ministers themselves.” |

Sees Fateful Moment

= Speaking at the same meeting, Dr. John R. Mott of New York, London and Geneva, said that the world was . at its most fateful moment, with _ “fear and foreboding everywhere.” He said that without “a great emotional release” we will have a moral breakdown and that the oncoming generations of Christians would be “calloused and unable to be moved.” Women's meetings were held at the Y. W. C. A, with Miss Muriel Lester, the “Jane Addams of London,” and at the Second Presbyterian Church, with the Rev, Hilda L. Ives of Newton Center, Mass., the chief speakers. ‘Miss Lester said all the blame for the world condition today could not be laid to other people and other nations and that some of the blame was our own. ' The Rev. Mrs. Ives warned those

at the Women’s District Meeting that the heart of the nation was in its homes and that the guidance of the nation came through its mothers. The keynote of this ‘modern revival” of religion was struck at the opening mass meeting by Dr. Jones yesterday afternon at the Manufacturers’ Building in the State Fair Grounds. Dr. Jones yesterday told the Mission that it still is not too late “to vote for Christianity.”

‘Silent Vote Taken’

“We may take the choice, in fact a silent vote is being taken, to decide between Communism, Fascism and Christianity,” the famous evangelist warned. “Civilization still has five minutes, figuratively speaking, in which to set its house in order.” Dr. Jones built his address, delivered to 8000, around the question: “Is the Kingdom of God Realism?” Dr. Adolph Keller of Geneva, Switzerland, who flew to the United States a few weeks ago, addressed a women’s Bible group this morning at St. John’s Evangelical and Reformed Church and was to speak at a dinner meeting in the First Presbyterian Church this evening at 6 p. m. Dr. Mott was to speak to state Y. M. C. A. members at 4 p. m. at the Central “Y.” The first of regular noon-day prayer services was to be held at Christ Church on the Circle and six city district meetings will be held this evening.

EMPRESS OF JAPAN ARRIVES AT PORT

LONDON, Nov. 11 (U. P.).~—The Empress of Japan, former flagship of the Canadian-Pacific Steamship Co. now in war service as a transport, arrived at a northern port under her own power with “some

damage but no casualties,” the Admiralty announced today: In a communique issued soon after the 26,032-ton vessel docked this morning, the Admiralty said the ship had been attacked by “enemy aircraft.” (The German High Command said yesterday that “among the attacks on maritime objectives was one on a big merchantman of about 25,000 tons, which was damaged by several bomb hits 300 miles

west of Ireland.”’)

opponent got more votes than I did,” he said. Several Democratic candidates for the Legislature also indicated they would seek recounts because of the extremely scant majorities received by some of the Republican winners. Plans for the recounts were made at a meeting of Democratic leaders at the Indianapolis Athletic Club yesterday = when party leaders studied the official county returns. Meanwhile,’ Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox appointed six Republicans and six Democrats to guard the voting machines pending hearings on the recount suits. First to file a recount suit was Paul Tegarden, Republican, who lost the County Treasurer race to Walter C. Boetcher by 195 votes. Lawrence Shaw, only unsuccessful Republican candidate for the Legislature here, also said he plans to file a recount suit. The 64 newly elected G. O. P. members of the House of Representatives were summoned to convene at the Claypool Hotel here Thursday and the 30 Republican State Senators will meet Friday.

Prepare to “Do Our Duty”

The caucus sessions were called by State Republican Arch N. Bobbitt “so the party may be prepared to do the constructive job which is our duty.” “Through our platform and by our candidates in the campaign, certain pledges were made to the people of Indiana and these pledges must be fulfilled,” he said. Meanwhile, Governor M. Clifford Townsend appointed marshals for each of the 12 Congressional districts to collect the official Presidential votes and report them to the Governor’s office on Nov. 25. The Governor then will certify the Presidential vote total for Indiana to Congress.

By -THOMAS E. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—An interesting political sideshow of the next few months—and it won't be long in starting—will be a struggle for control of the Republican Party. In broad outline it will develop between two groups—on the one hand Wendell L. Willkie, the nonprofessional groups he gathered about him, and some of the younger and rising Republican leaders, and oh the other, some of the old-line professional politicians who fought his nomination and never were happy about the ascendancy of this one-time Democrat. The old-liners went along in the campaign in the hope they had a winner whose victory they could share and capitalize. Mr. Willkie opens his fight to retain control in his radio address tonight from 9:30 to 10 p. m. (Indianapolis Time),

Co-operation Expected

Mr. Willkie is expected to counsel his party to co-operate with the Administration’s defense .and in giving all short-of-war aid to Britain, but to act as a check against any undue assumption of power. He may indicate whether he plans to continue the independent Willkie clubs, those zealous groups which occasionally got in the hair of regular Republican leaders. As a candidate, he played up to these groups rather than the oldline politicians, figuring that the latter would have to go along. It is likely that he will capitalize these organizations, or at least the spirit they whipped up, in seeking to keep his influence with the party.

Believes in Public Pressure

He believes firmly in the power of public pressure on the politicians, and the Willkie clubs demonstrated that they could stir up enthusigsm. Certainly they were earnest and effective workers despite some bungling at the start. Rivals of Mr. Willkie—at least if he has aspirations for 1944—will not be long in showing themselves. This seems to be demonstrated by word from associates of Thomas E. Dewey that he will seek the Republican nomination for Governor of New York in 1942 as a steppingstone for another try at the Presidential nomination in 1944.

Several Potential Candidates

Though Mr. Willkie is represented as not now interested in candidates for 1944, this early indication of other ambitions presages the battle of personalities that inevitably leads toward a fight for control of party machinery. The party has a group of potential candidates for 1944, all in advantageous posts, including Senators Robert A. Taft (Ohio) and Arthur H. Vandenberg (Michigan), both rivals of Mr. Willkie at Philadelphia, Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio, re-elected by a record plurality, and Senator-Elect Harold Burton, Mayor of Cleveland. : Mr. Willkie certainly has a valid claim to a dominant voice in his party’s councils. He ran the best race of any Republican since 1928.

at ceremonies at the laying of the cornerstone of the new Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md. He said that it was fitting today that the nation take part in the patriotic cause of preserving the wellbeing’ of those who wear the uniform of our defense.

As New War Rages

Mr. Roosevelt spoke amidst a new war raging 22 years after the first World War terminated in the 1918 armistice. But he said that a century from now historians will brand as “puny and false” efforts to convince the world that the blood sacrifices of the first World War were “wholly in vain.” ° “I, for one, do not believe that the era of democracy in human affairs can or will be snuffed out in our lifetime,” he said. “I, for one, do not believe that mere force will be successful in

taken such firm root as a harbinger of better lives for mankind. “I for one, do not believe that the world will revert either to a modern form of ancient slavery or to controls vested in modern feudalism or modern emperors or modern dictators. or modern oligarchs

“The very people under their iron heels will, themselves, rebel,” he said. Mr. Roosevelt traced the beginnings of orderly government from the days of democracy of the ancient Greeks, through the imperialism of the Roman dictators, the Crusades, the feudalism of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and down to the time when the American colonies rebeled against Great Britain. We still live in the age OF Sur Revolutionary forefathers, he said. The march of democracy led by America and the British Isles, Mr. Roosevelt said, had its first great challenge in 1814 and it hurled the challenger back. Other speakers on the Arlington Cemetery program were National Commander Milo J. Warner of the American Legion; W. H. Hargrave, District of Columbia Legion Commander, and Mrs. Louis J. Lemstra, national president of the Legion Auxiliary.

Willkie in the close of his campaign when he expressed a fear of War from Mr, Roosevelt’s course. His party leaders had expressed this same fear months ago. Mr. Willkie's task is no easy one in seeking leadership on his terms and working out a program upon which the party generally can stand with him. But anyone who knows him is certain he is not the sort to flinch from the task.

Mail Is Heavy

The defeated Republican nominee spent yesterday at his Fifth Avenue home, working on his speech. In the afternoon, he went to his hotel headquarters to read more of the 30,000 letters and telegrams received since the vote was counted. The letters, his associates said, are mostly in the same vein; they ask advice. Some ask him to refuse any Federal appointment that is offered him. Others urge him to form a strong opposition party. Commenting on this correspondence, he said: “I only wish I had the time and the staff to answer all of the generous letters I have received personally. Since I have. neither, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all of those who have written, for their support and good wishes.” Mr. Willkie and Mrs. Willkie will leave Wednesday or Thursday for Rushville, Ind., where they own five farms. They expect to go South later for a two or three-week vacaon.

says FRAZIER HUNT

World-Famous Reporter, War Correspondent and Radio Personality

Continues Mr. Hunr.

When Bill Lester, Chief Pilot Instructor of American Airlines, started talking about winter gasoline for motor cars, I didn’t miss a thing, and I'm passing his story on to you. Here it is:— ' “Quick-starting is expected from any good winter gasoline today. But a truly fine winter motor fuel has the ability to quickly warm up the motor to proper Thermal Efficiency (Bill's term for right operating temperature).”

That's why a gasoline like Tydol Flying A is so important for carefree winter driving. It first gives fast starting . . . then it assures that quick warm-up which means fast acceleration and surging power . , . There is more complete combustion right from the start... with less gasoline waste and more gasoline mileage.

There’s more good news for you in a test tankful of this gasoline that tells its own

story best!
