WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
A New Type of War Memorial
By DREW PEARSON
(Reprinted from The Atlanta Journal)
July 28—Washington. D. C.
YESTERDAY, IN NEW YORK. I
had the privilege of helping dedi
cate a veterans hospital swimming
pool in memory of four army chap
lains of different faiths who, when
their transport was torpedoed, gave
their lifebelts to four OI's and
leaped together into the sea.
One was Father John P. Wash
ington. of Newark, N. J., a Cath
olic. One was Rabbi Alexander
Ooodc. of York. Pa., a Jew. The
two others were George L. Fox. of
Cambride, Vt., and Clark V. Pol
ing. of Schenectady. N. Y.. both
Protestants. Praying together,
hand in hand, they went to a com
mon grave because they had a
common cause—*o make a world
where men may live together side
by s.'de In peace, no matter what
the|» race or creed.
So yesterday, in New York, the
Bronx veterans hospital swimming
pool was dedicated to their me
mories, a place where veterans of
all races and creeds mav meet and
mingle, as free from prejudice as
tyie water which flows.
NF.W TYPE OF MEMORIAL
To me this was a new type of
war memorial. Ordinarily, when
we think of the aftermath of war
we think of the dead, the disabled,
the ruined cities, the broken trea
ties. We seldom think of the his
tory books on war or the war me
morials. But they shape our think
ing, too. History is more than
words, and monuments are more
than shapes In stone and bronze.
They also shape our minds. If
we ask a small boy about the War
Between the States, he will prob
ably tell of a cannon in the town
square or a picture of a general
on horseback.
But what the little boys of to
morrow must be taught about the
World War finished yesterday Is
the principles for which that war
was fought, not the weapons used
to achieve victory.
Too many battles of the past
have been commemorated by sta
tues of fierce warriors In bronze or
bristling cannons in the parks of
the nation—grim reminders of the
glamor, the excitement of battle.
But what we need to be reminded
of is not the weaons of war, but
the principles for which men gave
their lives In war.
And what the little boys of to
morrow must be taught about the
World War finished today is that
preached the doctrine of the su
perior race and that It was won
by those who believe that all men
are created free and equal.
That’s what the four chaplains

QRANTINQ CHARTER
GKOKQIA—Fulton County.
To the Superior Court of mild County:
The petition of Willtem W. Bromberg,
Melvi-i Piel, end Israel K»t» respect

believed when they gave up their
lifebelts to face certain death on
the transport Dorchester.
NO DISCRIMINATION
At no time during the war did
death show discrimination among
our soldiers, sailors, fliers and ma
rines. When the blow struck it
did not discriminate as to creed or
color: When the Japanese-Ameri-
cans of the heroic 442nd regiment
stormed their way up the hillsides
of the North Apennines in Italy
no one stopped in the heat of bat
tle to think about the color of their
skin.
Today, with the heat of battle
over, some of us sometimes forget
the bonds of selfishness which
forged heroes during war. More
over, a few rabble-rousers have
made vicious attacks on some
groups—forgetting that every man,
no matter what his color or creed,
is a human being, and no one has
a right to wound him by stinging
words or thoughtless acts.
That’s why the type of me
morial dedicated at the Bronx Vet-
terans hospital seems to me im
portant—a memorial commemorat
ing the thing the four chaplains
want remembered—that the deck
of a sinking ship is not the only
place where men of different
faiths can work together, pray to
gether, and now* that the war Is
over, live together.
SON OF DAN POLING
Note.—One of the chaplains who
died on the transport Dorchester
was the son of the Rev. Dan Pol
ing, famed Baptist preacher of
Temple University, Philadelphia,
who, like his son Clark, was also
a chaplain during the war. En
route to Africa, Dr. Poling stopped
in Natal, Brazil, where he asked
his friend, the Rev. Sam Over-
street, a Baptist chaplain, to join
him at dinner. Overstreet, how
ever, declined. That evening he
had to take the place of Father
John Francis Ryan, a Catholic,
who was scheduled to conduct
Jewish services, but had to be
away.
Because no Jewish chaplain was
regularly stationed at Natal, the
Protestant and Catholic chaplains
had arranged to take regular turns
conducting services for Jewish
troops: so, on this particular even
ing, a Baptist gave the Jewish
services for a Catholic priest.
Impressed with the way the men
and chaplains of all religions
worked together during the war.
Dr. Poling later raised a fund in
Philadelphia to build a “chapel
of the Four Chaplains" where men
of all religious creeds could wor
ship and pray together.— (c!947.»

that the French would care for
all who wished to land.
When he returned to the port
area, the prefect, who was obvious
ly deeply moved by the refugees’
firm stand despite their misery,
reported that a spokesman for the
deportees had told him "We are all
ex-partisans and ex-fighters in the
Allied armies and survivors of con
centration camps, and our main
wish was to return to Palestine, our
homeland.”
The prefect said that the
refugees had complained that con
ditions aboard the ship were fright,
fill and that they had been treated
like cattle. They stressed their
appreciation of France's kindness,
but said that they felt sure that
the French people would under
stand their feeling that the only
course which would safeguard
their future would be to immigrate
to Palestine.
