Oct., 4 UE One of President Roosevelt's close and well informed political associates : said today that diplomatic developments develop-ments appeared to be in the making, mak-ing, looking: toward aligning world Catholicism against Nazi Germany. V From one quarter it was suggested sug-gested Mr. Roosevelt is hopeful of a rapprochement between the Vatican and Moscow that might lead to an exchange of diplomatic representatives in time for such a development to exert vital worldwide world-wide influence against the Axis, v But there was no White House nor state department confirmation confirma-tion of the foregoing. There was, however, concrete evidence seeming seem-ing to support rather than to challenge chal-lenge that interpretation of the situation. It. came in a White House statement that "it Is hoped that in the light of the report of the Polish ambassador an entering wedge for the practice of complete freedom of religion is on the way" in the Soviet union.' The ambassador had reported churches were being provided in the. Soviet Union for Polish soldiers. It was in connection with a question regarding that report re-port that Mr. Roosevelt told his press conference this week: "As I think I suggested a week or two ago, some of you might find it useful to read article : 124 of the constitution of Russia." "What does that say, Mr. President?" Presi-dent?" a reporter asked. ' "Well. I haven't learned it by heart sufficiently to quote," the president replied. "I might be off a little, but anyway: Freedom of conscience "Would you say," broke in a questioner. "Freedom of religion," Mr. Roosvelt continued. "Freedom equally to use propaganda against religion which is essentially what is the rule in this country; only we don't put it the same way. "For instance, you might go out tomorrow to the corner of Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania avenue, down below the press club and stand on a soap box and preach chirstianity, and nobdy would stop you. And then, if it got into your head, perhaps the next day preach against religion relig-ion of all kinds, and nobody would stop you." The White House made public the transcript of Mr. Roosevelt's remarks with permission for direct quotation, explaining some misquo-taions misquo-taions of his remarks had appeared. appear-ed. The statement from the White House accompanying the trans-script trans-script also expresesd the hope about an' entering wedge toward complete religious freedom in the fSoviet union. ;yaslmigtcar-Meirry-jGo-Roimd (Continued From ' Fag Om) : Philippine - Campainger At Last Gets Mileage ROCK ISLAND, 111. UE In 1896, Norman F. Ramsey, now a brigadier general in charge of the army arsenal here, returned to the United States from the Philippine Islands, where he had been stationed sta-tioned ' during the Spanish-American War. From 1898 until last summer, Congress periodically passed a bill granting mileage to Philippine veterans. Each time It was vetoed. Now, 43 years later, Ramsey has received a $382.94 check representing repre-senting mileage. side.the .vgovernmenton several grounds. One is that no -one knew what the. navy was doing.

The president will also ask congress - for authority - to mount guns on American merchant merch-ant vessels. Finally, crews are to be given gun training. Note Arnulfo Arias, President of Panama, is in the ironic position posi-tion of being an admirer of Germany, Ger-many, yet it is the Panamanian vessels that are carrying guns aimed against Germany. Arias served as a diplomat in Germany for some years, and has given the state department more worry than any other Latin American president. 1 QUEEN ELIZABETH'S ' CORSET $ In these days of defense and emergency, the Folger Shakespearean Shakes-pearean Liberty is off the beaten path, yet officials looked up in surprise one day last week to find the doorway brightened by the tall figure of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. Roose-velt. Dr. Giles Dawson, head of the reading room, was the first to see her, and it occurred to him the First Lady might like to see the famous Folger collection of Elizabethan Eliza-bethan silver, which is kept hidden hid-den away in a vault. "Yes," replied Mrs. Roosevelt, with an expression of pleased surprise. sur-prise. "I have heard of that collection, col-lection, but I didn't know the public was allowed to see it." Dr. Dawson, thought it strange she Should regard herself merely as one of the public, but he said nothing. He led her to the vault. There he got out a mysterious parcel, and proceeded with great care to unwrap it. But when the contents were diclosed to view, he was cliagrmed to find that he had the wrong parcel. Instead "of the package of silver, he found that he held in his hand the corset of (jueen Elizabeth. The embarrassment was all on one 'side, however. Mrs. Roosevelt was intrigued. She examined the corset, then later examined the silver, and went away. Since that day, for reasons that they can trace only to Mrs. Roosevelt, Roose-velt, the officials have been besieged be-sieged with callers who ask to see the corset of Queen Elizabeth.

The signal effectiveness of the new anti-tank battalions. This is a new arm developed by the U. Si Army and has no counterpart counter-part in the European armies. Though only three months old and still in the experimental stage, the battalions demonstrated great potency po-tency as "tank killers." More and better equipped units of this kind should be organized at once. 2. The deadly power of aircraft and the fact that an army, no matter how good or strong, fights at tremendous disadvantage without with-out adequate air support. 3. That the combat team of tanks and mechanized forces needs the lowly doughboy to back it up for real success. An armored force has tremendous punching power and can smash holes through elements many times its size, but it has got to have infantry in-fantry behind it to hold the ground gained. 4. A complete overhauling and modernization of field communications, communica-tions, particularly radio. The army's ar-my's equipment is antiquated and wholly Inadequate for the speed demanded of blitz warfare. 5. A new type of armored scout car that is lighter, faster and with better air protection than the one now in use. The present car is a very - powerful vehicle but it is too ponderous for broken and swampy terrain and too vulnerable vulner-able to air attack. 6.

All the men have had some firing fir-ing practice, usually 20 or 30 rounds.

The new soldiers are eager to learn how to shoot, and complain of this - lack in training. GHQj chiefs are aware of this and the new training schedules now in preparation call for a big increase in firing practice. The reason for the delay in this vital training has been lack of ammunition. ammuni-tion. The army just hasn't had any ammunition to shoot. But with the new munitions plants coming into production in the next few months this deficiency should be overcome. Zeppelin Aluminum Relic Donated for War Plane ZANESVILLE, O. U.R) L. E.

The material was donated to Muskingum county's recent drive for cat-off aluminum. SPRINCVILLE MBS.
