"Baseball seems far away
now," he says. " I hardly ever
look at the sport pages any
more. All that seems relatively
unimportant. There'll be no
baseball or any other sport, if
we don't win it. I had a short
furlough before I reported here,
and I went out to the Jamaica
race track. There was a huge
crowd and they set a betting
record. I felt a little bit sick as
I watched all those people going
along as if the war's a million
miles away. And I couldn't
help comparing them to all the
fellows I knew were back at
camp right then, - working like
the dickens."
"Imagine what this air corps
will be when it's up to that
2,000,000!" says Hank. "There'll
be nothing in the world like it."

Pope Intervenes In Defense
of Jews Persecuted in France
On Wednesday, Pope Pius XII, speaking through the
Papal Nuncio at Vichy, called for the end of "inhuman
arrests of defenseless people" and protested against the
treatment accorded Jewish refugees.
It is reported, that. as a result of the Vatican's inter-
cession, Chief of State Petain appealed to the German
authorities to limit the arrests of Jews in Paris to those
of aliens, and to stop deporting French Jews to Silesia.
He also asked that there be an end to the breaking up
of French Jewish families by the Nazis.
The Nuncio, Msgr. Valerio Valeri, presented the
Pope's message to Petain at.. a luncheon. Petain called the
situation "unpleasant" and stated that the Pope under-
stands and approves his attitude. The Nuncio remarked:
"Marshal Petain, the Holy Father neither understands
nor approves."
