| toate of Moral nag, Followers Who Seek Beferment Once ‘Thanked Heaven’ for fa Man
Like’ Nazi Chief,
Times
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—Dr. Frank Buchman, 28 of whose | followers in “moral rearmament” here are seeking draft deferment on the ground that they are in an “essential on one pre-war accasion thanked heaven “for
endeavor,” a man like Adolf Hitler.”
Dr. Buehman founded the MRA mavement, once known as the Oxford group. And the New York World-Telegram has found that names of leading senators and representatives have been invoked in efforts to bolster claims of MRA workers for occupational deferments.
Dr. Buchman’s pre - war views about Hitler were recalled by .appeal board 4 last Feb. 5 in denying the earlier claim of another MRA worker for draft deferment. The hoard recalled that Dr. Buchman said, in a World-Telegram interview published Aug.. 26, 1936: “I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ] of communism. » My barber in
{¥ London toid- me “Hitler saved all
Europe from communism. That's how he felt. Of course, I don’t condone everything the Nazis do. AntiSemitism? Bad, naturally. I suppose Hitler sees a Karl Marx in every. Jew.
Views Never Retracted
“But think what it would mean to the world if Hitler surrendered
| to the control of God. Qr Mussolini.
!
Or any dictator. ‘Through such a man God could control a nation
| overnight and solve every last be-
wildering problem.” The board noted that the interview had been published six years
Special
ago; and then added: “Careful research has es ed that" the authenticity of these statements has never d, nor their contents retracted, ‘by Br. Buchman.” ‘ “At the time when these statements were made by Dr. Buchman,” the board opinion went on, “Hitler's whole philoso of the divine right of night and of Germany and of Germans as the superrace, his program for the ruthless expansion of Germany by military conquest, his purpose to overthow democracy in Germany and elsewhere, and his inhuman and elseChristian call for persecution and destruction of the Jews, had been fully proclaimed to the world in Mein Kampf and in the decrees which he had already issued as the German dictator.” A check of the records showed that in a supplement to the appeal board’s decision, Charles H. Tuttle, its chairman, wrote that no other lay - religious organization had claimed “special status and immunity” from the draft.
High Pressure Methods The “high pressure methods” of MRA “to attain this special status, was directed at army-building officials,” Mr. Tuttle wrote, “have recently met stern rebuke by the British cabinet and by the house of commons. “One has difficulty in believing

In the records was a letter bearing the name of Dr. Adolph E. Schmidt, “supervisor of the city and county of San Francisco,” who “strongly urged” a 2-A classification for Mr. Wood because he had been important in averting “disunity in labor management feelings.” Another letter was signed by John V. Riffe, steel workers organizing committee director in the Bethlehem steel campaign. This read in part: “I know from personal experience when I met John Weod I was badly in need of being changed and set right. As a labor leader I was permitting the membership of my union to make many bad mistakes, and in general was doing a bad job directing them by letting them
