crescendo.
The boys were going ashore
tn Normandy.
First went the paratroopers,
stepping Into the night beyond
the sore to help prepare the way.
Then came a bare 600 men to a
beach that would forever bear
an American name - Omaha.
During the balance of that one
riar hundred and fifty thous
and men, transported and guard
ed by 4.000 ships and liiooo
planes, crossed the English
Channel.
e e e
Famous old ships of the Ameri
can and British lines served a
long-range artillery. Newfangled
rocket boats laid down barrages
on the beaches. Skilled demoli
tion squads struggled with the
underwater defenses.
It was the spearhead of a
force which was to wipe totali
tarianism from the face of Eu
rope. Four years of military his
tory's most' intensive planning
was brought to one great, blast
ing climax. And always, through
the concentrated fire of Hitler's
beach defenses, the men boared
in to finish that war they had
not sought.
That night Franklin D. Roose
velt asked the people of America
to loin him beside their radios
tn a prayer which said:
i "These are men lately drawn
for the ways of peace. They fight
not for the lust of conquest. They
fight to liberate. They fight to
let . justice arise, and tolerance
and good will among all the peo
ple. They yearn but for the end
of battle, for their return to the
haven of home. Some will never'
return."
Many didn't. But millions of
their fellows went 'on, determin
ed to crush totalitarianism
against the anvil provided by
our Russian allies.
i . Three years since D-day:
WASHINGTON :- An other
president has been constrained
: to say that the Job is still undone,
but America must still "help
free peoples . . . against aggres
sive movements that seek to im
pose upon them totalitarian re
gimes." ' i '
LAKE SUCCESS The United
States warns that an atomic arms
race is on and that a system of
atomic control advocated by So
viet Russia would be "a fraud on
the peoples of the world.
WASHINGTON Congress is
: told that it must inaugurate uni
versal military training in the U.
S. because the international si
tuation is "too serious to Justify
delay or to gamble on safely
avoiding the issue."
Three years since America
! Joined Franklin Roosevelt . in

"Success may not come with
i rushing speed, but we shall re
turn again, and again."

sidering a new war; memorial au
ditorium. The present one here
was built privately in 1908. The
city bought it for $20,000 In 1940
and it has sence been self-supporting
' . ,1.
With a seating capacity of 5.000.
it occupies half of a downtown
business block. It is an arena
type building with ramps leading
to the second and third balconies.
The accoustics are considered
quite poor. The seats are not up
holstered. There are no free park
ing facilities j except the streets.
The building Is in need of reno
vation. Despite these factors great
numbers come 53 miles from Kan
sas City for various events at the
auditorium.
In charge of operation is a mem
ber of the board of management.
who is paid 10 per cent of the
gross. Rental Is $125 pernight.
The - mayor of St Joseph has
pointed out that adequate audi
torium' facilities are one of the
city's prime needs, but he and the
city council hesitate to spend sev
eral hundred thousand dollars im
proving the old building.
A previous administration sub
mitted a referendum to the people
for a new auditorium but it was
defeated; purportedly because ad
equate allowance was not made
for veterans' groups.
The issue wOl be submitted to
voters again soon and its chances
are considered favorable. The pro
posed auditorium would cost about
$2,500,000 and would seat 4.500
in the main auditorium and 6,500
in the arena. Club rooms also
would be provided. ;

Permit Issued
For Building
Service Station
When construction will begin on
the service station slated for the
southeast corner of Center . and
Capitol streets, for which a build
ing permit was issued this week,
is not known yet, the owners
said Tuesday night.
The project has been a recent
controversial Issue in the city,
with regard to changing the cor
ner's zone classification, due to
its proximity to the capitol group.
The permit, issued by the city
engineer's office, was concerned
only with technicalities j of con
struction, since the city council on
May 22 authorized the zone change
and the station.
George A. Rhoten and S. F.
Speerstra, owners, said Viesko and
Post of Salem will erect the sta
tion, but that no contract had been
sighed for its operation or supply.
Possibility of a suit to enjoin the
construction this week as the state
mgnway commission, wnose new
building is being erected across
the street, voted against initiating
any litigation on the grounds that
"the commission should not in
dulge in local politics."

Modern churches are being forc

canc because they are failing to
infiltrate through the world, dealt
ing with people as individuals
rather than masses. -
This was the conclusion reach
ed in a forum Tuesday night at
the YMCA. Key speaker during
the session was Gilbert Kilpack,
noted Jay leader. The discussion
as sponsored by toe American
Friends Service committee. Ross
Miles was chairman. .
The laymen said that religion
had lapsed into an impersonal
thing because of today's church
methods. They said, congregations
should be divided into small, pri
mary units which could better
solve their problems.
