Oct 30-Monday-Journal Entry- German Radio Scare

Oct 30 Sgt Hood and crew badly frightened by supposed German Radio station in Mess Hall basement. Called up CP and Lts Jones & Tyler and wire section over to surround the place. --

Tyler wanted to throw in a hand grenade, so the story goes, after T/sgt Peel com. Chief swore up and down code was coming out of the room (Now known to be full of straw)-

Finally found compressed air in a stove was making noise--
Fearless Phosgene (Fassio) nearly got shot when he emerged from bldg. into ring of wiremen.

Talked in evening with Gulio about some radical churches, etc. Father Divine Aime Simple McPherson.

Protestant Church service in afternoon.

Returned Bill's book "The Church in War & Peace."

The discussions comprising this volume were given as a series of radio talks originating in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City on the weekly Sunday evening Church program presented over Station KSL. They were so generously received by listeners over a vast area, and the requests for reprints so numerous that the series is now presented in book form.

As such it becomes another outstanding contribution to the literature of Mormonism. The subjects dealt with are many and varied, and they reveal the depth of perception and the broad understanding of the man who prepared them.

Marilu: It is interesting to read the sample for this book on Amazon. In it he deplores how the initial unity of the nation after Pearl Harbor deteriorated into selfishness, discord, prejudice and political Partisanship. He also mentions how much less physically and personally fit the young men were to step into military service than their American heritage entitled them to. Not so different to what we hear more recently as after 9/11.
