GERMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS WARN NAZIS

WASHINGTON, May 13 (U. P). —The Nazi government has been warned by Roman Catholic bishops of Germany that anti-religious acts are erecting a wall of hate against the reich both in occupied countries and Germany. The office of war information made public for the first time the text of a petition for relief sent by the bishops to the Hitler government, in which the church leaders declared that the enmity against a conquering nation is raised to its greatest degree by attempts to take away the religion. The bishops also charged that the Nazis had committed many atrocities against the church in Poland. Slovakia, Luxembourg and AlsaceLorraine,

Pioneer in Auto Industry

Another name was added to the diminishing list of colorful figures of the early automotive industry here with the death in Toledo, O,, yesterday of Joseph H. McDuffee Sr. The 63-year-old executive of two battery com- § panies was one of the prominent enthusiasts and officials of racing on the early: Speedway scene. He was a close friend and associate of the late Carl Fisher, cofounder of the Speedway and Prest - O «Lite Mr. McDuffee Storage Battery Co.” and pioneer Florida property developer. Mr. McDuffee at the time of his death was president of Prest-O-Lite and vice president of the battery division of the Electric Auto Lite Corp. When he left here five years ago he was vice president of Prest-O-Lite. Interested in the motorcar industry from its infancy, Mr. McDuffee began his career with Locomobile in New York. He later was with

the Willys-Overland Corp. as assist ant general sales manager and pres ident of the Chicago Subsidiary Corp. At one time he was assistant general manager of the Cole Motor Car Co. here, reorganized the Elgin Motor Car Co. in the early 20s and became its president, A pioneer in auto racing, he won the original vanderbilt trophy in 1901 at Algonac, Long Island, N. Y. He was an early enthusiast in

aviation and while he learned to}:

fly, never obtained a pilot's license. He was among the first business executives to use planes on business trips and had a plane equipped as a flying office. For several years he managed Mr. Fisher's interests in Florida He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Delia Scott McDuffee, Toledo; three daughters, Mrs. John T. Rocap and Mrs. Robert M.

Stimson Jubilant, Tells How Yanks Outsmarted Enemy

WASHINGTON, May 13 (U. P). —Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- | son, rejoicing today over the North African victory, declared that the results in the six months campaign | “will have infinitely more effect on the ultimate outcome of the war than if we had won the November race for Tunis” “If we had won that race; the] axis armies would have attributed | our victory to the element of surprise,” he continued. “The enemy would have felt that, if given a chance, they could have won. Stimson voiced high praise for | Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, allied | commander-in-chief in North At-| rica, and the American and British | generals who served under him.

Handicaps Reversed

“The quick victory attained by the leadership of these men was not too costly in casualties for the results gained,” he declared. Stimson said that it was interesting to note how American troops and commanders eventually reversed the initial disadvantages they faced and the advantages the enemy had. “Allied sea and air power destroyed the axis lines of communi- | cation across the Mediterranean were backed up to the sea they had no chance of evacuating,” he said. The breaking up of the United States forces into small units during the opening phases of the campaign to aid the French troops also eventually worked out to our advantage, he said.

School for Battle

“This depersion became a school under actual battle conditions for the American troops and Americans learned very quickly,” he continued “Like all new soldiers they blundered, but they didn’t blunder long.”

Freé Teachers in

War Job Freeze

CHICAGO, May 13 (U. P.).— School teachers were assured by the war manpower commission today that they will be freg to take war jobs during the summer vacation without fear of being “frozén” to the new jobs. William H. Spencer, WMC regional director, said many teachers who would take a summer job in essential industry have been reluctant to do so until it was certain they would be permitted to return to the classrooms next fall.

3 NAZI PLANES FALL TO HOOSIER GUNS

WASHINGTON, May 11 (U, P.) — Three Messerschmitt 109's were shot down in a dogfight over the bay of Tunis recently by 2d Lt. Louis E. Curdes, 1835 Florida drive, Ft. Wayne, Ind, the war department disclosed today. Curdes took on the enemy flight single-handed after the P-38 Lightnings of his three flying mates developed engine trouble and forced them to head for home, the department said.

GANNETT ASKS FARM AID

PITTSBURGH, May 13 (U. P.)— Higher prices for food producers, more farm help and more farm machinery are needed to remedy Amerjca’s food situation, which is “far more serious than people realize,” Frank E. Gannett, newspaper publisher and a Republican presidential candidate in 1040, told the Cornell University club at its annual ban-

allied air power to start the sudden

| destruction of the axis air force and

the axis lines of communications,” Stimson continued.

Reviews JFinal Campaign

Reviewing the final campaign which began about three weeks ago and ended yesterday, Stimson said that the French were on the extreme north of the allied lines. “Just south of the French was the 9th U. 8. infantry. Farther south still was a place the 34th U. 8. infantry, a national guard unit, from South Dakota, Jowa and Minnesota. “Next on the allied line was the 1st U. 8. infantry division, closely supported by the 1st U. 8. armored division. “The British 1st army held the ground south of the Americans and the British 8th army covered the area on the extreme southeast of the enemy line.

U. S. Exploits Breakthrough

“It is interesting to note that the British 8th army did in the final stages of the campaign substantially what the Americans did for the British 8th when they broke through the Mareth line. By keeping constant pressure on their sector, the 8th forced the enemy to place a large number of troops there while

the American 34th broke through) |}

at the famous Hill 6609.

“This clean break through was

promptly exploited by American armored forces in an advance to Mateur which outflanked the axis positions in front of the British 1st.

“Secretly the British 8th moved) |

up at this time and the final of-

fensive began on May 6 supported |

by the greatest umbrella of air power that ever flew over a battle field.

|The Germans fought bravely, but in defeat they were not supermen.

During the last few days about 38,000 of them surrendered to the

| 1st armored division; 100,000 to the

British and 25,000 of them to the French, according to the last reports I have received.”
