“No Atheists in Foxholes”
Says Sergeant on Bataan
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON. — It was faith
and prayer at least as much as
self-confidence that kept our forc
es going on Bataan Peninsula, ac
cording to Lieutenant Colonel
Warren J. Clear, who has just re
turned to Washington from Cor-
regidor.
A retired Infantry officer, Col.
Clear had been on United States
Army staff duty in the Philip
pines. He was born in Boston and
graduated from Boston College
there, winning a commission in
the Regular Army during the first
World War. Retired in 1935 be
cause of physical disability in
curred n the line of duty, he was
recalled to active duty a year and
a half ago. In an Army Hour radio
broadcast last night, in response
to a question on the spirit of the
soldiers of Bataan, he said:
“I remember one time when I
slipped into a foxhole during one
particularly heavy bombing attack.
There was a sergeant in the fox
hole, too, and he squeezed to one
side to make room for me and
then all hell broke loose, and I
wasn’t surprised to find myself
praying out loud.
“The sergeant was praying too.
He prayed almost as loud as I did.
When the attack was over I turned
to him and said: ‘Sergeant, I no
ticed you were praying.’
“ ‘Sir,’ he said, without battfftg
an eye, ‘Sir, there are no atheists
in foxholes’!” -

of tank and warship. In Geor
gia’s many textile mills produc
ing war orders, in machine shops
turning out parts for shells, in
every variety of industry—elec
tricity is the essential ingredient.
Electricity, too, -provides
light and power for every army.

quartermaster or repair depot,
every military and civilian land
ing field, every hospital and rec
reation center.

Georgia. We have dedicated
ourselves completely to the job
of production for War and Vic
tory.
