: By UNITED PRESS A joint pastoral letter, issued by German Catholic bishops and accusing the fundamental tenets of the Nazi ereed of being immoral, inhuman and un-Christian, has been made public in Geneva by the International Religious Press Agency, according to the federal communications commission. The prime contention of the letter, read from most German pulpits last fall, was “that no nation must worship itself as if its will, and not. the will of God, were the source

of all morality and all justice.” The German bishops asserted they had come forward “to defend with particular vehemence all those who are unable to plead their rights themselves; for the young children with their claim to religious instruction. For the innocent who are in prison and oppressed, including those who are not of our blood and nationality; for those who are prisoners and of foreign race and for their title to moral protection and religidus ministrations.”

Condemn Killing The pastoral letter took the Fifth | Commandment—“Thou Shalt . Not Kill"—as the basis for a stern refutation of the Naz practice of killing off mental - defectives and

mp On D-Day, our Armies began digging into the vast stock-pile of supplies collected for invasion. The infantryman,*the artilleryman ... every invader of our Army ...started using up materials assembled to crush “Fortress Europe”. % As the fury of Allied attacks increase, a mighty torrent of supplies must flow to all fronts from the United States, the Arsenal of Democracies. * Transportation men and facilities face a mighty task. From inland supply depots, more and more war-trains must race to ports to “feed” the sea-freighters. % Precise timing, scheduling and cdordination by the railroads have

New methods of direct train-to-ship transfer save precious loading time. ..allow ships to put to sea sooner and deliver the goods quicker. % As one of the nation’s vital “convoy feeders”, the Baltithore & Ohio willingly accepts this heavy responsibility in the coming months. In increased numbers, B 0 ar-trains will thunder over our 11,000 miles of track in the great race to ship-side. With the help of those we serve, B&O’s 70,000 men and women are conent that this-bigger job can and will be done. .- The “hungry-convoys” of invasion will be well-fed!
