The empty pew has an elo-
quent tongue. Though its mes-
sage is unpleasant it is one
that all may hear. To the
preacher the empty pew says,
“Your sermon is not worth
while.” To the visitor it whis-
pers, “You see. we are not
quite holding our own.” To
the treasurer, it shouts. “Look
out for a deficit.” To the
stranger who is looking for a
church home it suggests, “You
had better wait a while.” To
the members who are present
it asks: “Why don’t you go
visiting next Sunday, too?”
The empty pew speaks against
the service. It kills inspira-
tion and smothers hopes. It
dulls the fine edge of zeal.
The empty pew is a weight.
The occupied pew is a wing.

thy seat will be empty.” (I

Allied Headquarters in Na-
ples, May 26. (UP)—Ameri-
can troops drove six miles
northeastward frqm captured
Cistema today and seized
Cori, outpost of the German
defenses below Rome only
nine-miles from the Via Casili-
na, last practical retreat route
for 17 Nazi divisions threaten-
ed with encirclement.
At the end of the battle line,
the Allies stormed through
Mount Cairo, anchor of the
German defenses northwest of
Cassino and last bastion of the
Adolf Hitler Line, which now
was entirely in Allied hands.
Fifth Army forces in a third
major victory occupied San
Giovanni, three and a half
miles north of Pico, toppled
bastion at the center of the
former main Italian front now
fnsed with the Anzio beach-
head for a push on Rome.
Within* a few hours after
capturing Cisterna, core of the
German defenses 25 miles
southeast of Rome on the Ap-
pian .Vay, American armored
forces forged another half
doze ■. miles up into the Lepini
hills to take Cori, a road junc-
tion 26 milea from Rome.
The swift advance and seiz-
ure of the town with it&.radiat-
ing highways posed a direct
threat to the Via Casilina,
only highway capable of han-
dling large scale military traf-
fic behind the German divi-
sions being, beaten back from
the overrun Hitler Line.
The Americans captured the
Appinn Way stronghold of
Cisterna late yesterday in a
violent four-hour battle fol-

London, May 26. (UP)—
Powerful American air fleets,
striking from Britain and Italy,
clamped a great aerial pincer
on France’s network of rail
communications again today
with Mediterranean-based
Flying Fortresses and Libera-
tors spearheading the assault
by hitting seven rail targets in
the Lyon and Nice areas.
It was the second straight
day that American bombers in
Britain and Italy teamed up
for combined operations to
disrupt the flow of Nazi troops
and supplies.
Nazi coastal fortifications
along the Atlantic wall and
German .troop concentrations
in Yugoslavia also were
pounded by Allied warplanes.
Up to 750 U. S. 15th air
force Flying Fortresses and
Liberators, escorted by a simi-
lar number of American fight-
er planes, paced the assault
with raids “deigned to ent
lines over which the Germans
have been, moving supplies,
armor and troops to the Italian
battlefronts,” according to a
Naples announcement
Roaring 600 miles from
their Italian bases to the Lyon
area, following - their Thurs-
day attack, the big bombers
burled high explosives and in-
cendiary bombs on the Vaise
and Le Mouche roil yards -cn
the edges of t& eiiy.' ~
Striking 40 mile southwest
of Lyon, they also hammered
the big freight assembly yards
at St Etienne, and to the east,
in the French Alps, they
pounded Charadery, on the
Lyon-Turlin railroad, and
Grenoble, junction on the i
Lyon-Nice supply route.
Along the French Riviera,
Maj. Gen. Nathan F. Twin-
ing's fliers unloaded destruc-
tion on railway yards at Nice
and the rail bridge over the
Var river, a few miles south-
west on the coastal railroad
from Marseilles to Genoa.

Lcndcn. May 26. (UP)—
Radio Moscow said today that
Heinrich Himmler, chief of
the ge-tapo, was believed to
have left Berlin by plane for
France, presumably in an ef-
fort to tighten Germany's grip
on that country in advance of
an Allied invasion.
His purported departure
coincided with broadcasts of
invasion instructions to French
patriots by a member of the
invasion staff of Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower.
Though gestapo agents and
cooperating Vichy militia
have rounded up thousands of
suspected members of the
French underground, sabo-
tage and terror attacks on
German trobps have continu-
ed throughout France, and it
waa believed possible that
Himmler has decided to give
the matter his personal atten-
tion.
bombers scored good results
at all targets, encountering
only a few German [fighters
and no flak at Lyon, St.
Etienne^ Grenoble and Cham-
ber?, and moderate iak and
no fighters in the Nice area.
In Naples it was announced
that six Flying Fortresses and
Liberators were w• niej from
Thursday’s attacks on Lyon
and railway targets at the
former French naval base of
Toulon. paly one enemy*plane
was encountered over France
and that waa shot down.
Meanwhile, Britain-based
Wows to cripple German com-
munications in northern Eu-
rope continued through their
eighth day, although on a
limited scale.
A thick layer of clouds lying
low over the English channel
and moot of western Europe
grounded .the U. 3. 8th air
force’s Flying Fortresses and
Liberators today after bad
flying conditions had also kept
the RAF*s bombers under
wrap's overnight.
