The Cross and the Star

By SGT. HASKELL L LAZERE

E

XPOSED to the ever changing skies,
Blanketed with virile green grass,
Lie the bodies of those who died,
Marked by symbols of their faiths,
David's star and Christ's Cross.

B-24 Pilot Took Part in Night
Raid on Chi Chi Jima;
Also Raided Iwo

Reposing in the serene quiet and calm
On a hill above an East Anglian town,
The dead—soldiers, sailors and marines,
Carry with them burdens of unrealized dreams,
While resting beneath the Cross and the Star.

Natural color motion picture
trips to all parts of North Am-
erica and the world_ will be on the
program of the World Adventure
Series, public non-profit lecture
course which begins its Fall sea-
son at the Detroit Institute of
Arts on Sunday, Oct. 1.4
The World Adventure Series
specializes in travel, foreign af-
fairs, exploration, natural history.
It • meets on twenty consecutive
Sunday afternoons at 3:30, and
older boys and girls are as wel-
come as adults. Speakers are
outstanding authorities in their
fields, and each brings his own
exclusive natural color motion
pictures.
This season's program ex-
emplifies two themes. One is to
get acquainted with the peoples
and problems of other nations,
and through better understanding
break down racial prejudices and
intolerance. The World Adven-
ture Series believes that each
citizen should so acquaint him-
self with the post-war world as
to build his own intelligent
foreign policy, and that in this
way a permanent peace come
about. The other theme is
travel. The World Adventure
Series will picture a score of
regions easily accessible to
Detroiters, and show how to get
to them and what is to be seen
there. ,
Among countries and regions
which outstanding speakers will
describe and picture in ,,natural
color are all the nations of Cen-
tral and South America, Mexico,
transcontinental Canada, Bali,
Nias, the Dutch East Indies,
Alaska, Southern California, New
England, the Canadian Rockies,
the Rio Grande region, Tahiti, an
adventure voyage down the
Colorado River, modern Chile,
the American - West, French
Canada and the Maritimes; South
Africa, Australia, Northern Mich-
igan.

In death as in life are they together,
Comrades and friends; foes and strangers,
Negro and White, Catholic, Protestant and Jew,
Covered all with foreign sod, hidden from view,
Distinguished only by tags on the Cross and the Star.

Wrapped in wooden-walled coffins,
Their souls yet must roam free,
To continue - the challenge of unlived lives—.
Adams, Brown, Cohen, O'Neal and McFee,
Labelled now with the Star and the Cross.

AS it so different when they were alive?
The Cross and Star were then not so apparent,
But those who knew them came to realize
Eventually they must be classed or bent
With the blessing or curse of the Cross and the Star.
The bodies of these humble dead,
Who sought neither fame nor fortune
Until the tyrant, the savage, the murderer fled,
Can find no time, nor more opportune,
To discuss their burdens of the Cross and the Star.

Man-made machines tore these lives asunder,.
Bullets and tanks and shells and planes,
Wrought by man so man could loot and plunder;
Spread the poison of hate of all to all, to pain
And grieve true bearers of the Star and the Cross:

For those interred here in this faraway field,
The poison of hate, no longer toxic,
Has compelled them to take a shield
Of fragile, white-limned man-hewn wood
Formed in the shape of the Star and the Cross_

■•■

N THE sun-lightened field the symbols glisten.
The arms, of the Cross stretch to the points of the Star.
Bending together in their horizontal and vertical rows,
Beckoning, imploring, compelling man to listen
To these buried martyrs 'neath the Cross and the Star.

In death have these heroes found
That the Cross extends to the Star
And the Star points to the Cross,
And from the graves a giant voice resounds
To all followers of the Star and the Cross.

"We have discovered in this cold ground
A common home for men of every race,
Sons of pilgrims from Europe's strange face,
Who, on our nation's shores, freedom found
To plant and hallow their Star, their Cross.

"Our lives have we given so man might be free.
In life we thought not, nor cared to any degree,
That Brotherhood of Man meant you and me,
But in this, death's early hours,' we can see
The Star seeks the Cross, the Cross the Star.

UR demands are not many,
Compared to the penalty we have paid.
Do us the honor—show us the decency,
To live together as brethren in life before the grave
Under the Star and the Cross.

WASHINGTON (JPS)—Secre-
tary of State Byrnes was urged
by Rep. Emanuel Celler to de-
mand that the Mufti be listed as
a war criminal, that the United
Nations War Crimes Commission
force his extradition from France,
and that. he be imprisoned with
major war criminals at Nurem-
berg and tried as promptly as
possible. Representative Celler
charged that "outrageous diplo-
matic maneuvering" may result
in the Mufti escaping unpunished,
pointing out that as yet no ex-
tradition demand has been made
either by the British Foreign Of-
' fice, the United Nations War
Crimes Commission, the Interna-
tional Military Tribunal and
other international bodies.
(The Yugoslav Government
has demanded the Mufti's extra-
dition on the charge that he led
the Arab legion, guilty of mas-
sacres in Yugoslavia.)
Failure to punish the Mufti,
Representative Celler pointed
out, would be regarded in- the
whole orient as a weakness by
Britain and America.

and parents whose supporters
were deported, Fr. Vladimir
Zecevic, Minister of Interior,
stated here.

"Our message is simple—our task is done.
We ask not much as we lie under the earth and sun.
Grant us our humble requests
So that here we may lie blessed
Beneath the Star and beneath the Cross."

NEW YEARS GREETINGS

"You—Negro and White, Christian and Jew—
Join hands and hearts—unite—for us—your loved ones.

Shall never be visited on those who are yet unborn—
The future bearers of the Cross and the Star.
