Catholic Campaign Against Pagan Nazis And Japanese Asked Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland Banker, Calls on Church to Speak By the Associated Prest. Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland banker and industrialist, yesterday urged the Roman Catholic Church 1o call on “its members everywhere to op- pose the pagan Germany and Japa- nese forces that seek to enslave the | world.” ‘This, he said, would be the great- est of the many great services the church has rendered to humanity because “once the church has spoken Italy can no longer range herself on the side of these ruthless ag- gressors nor Ireland continue to re- main aloof from the struggle.” Letter to Archbishop. Mr. Eaton announced that he had set forth these views in a letter to Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Ci- cognani, apostolic delegate to the United States. The text of Mr. Eaton’s letter fol- lows: “Your excellency: “The Catholic Church can render the greatest of the many great serv- ices to humanity of its long and venerable history by calling upon its members everywhere to oppose the pagan German and Japanese forces that seek to enslave the world. Once the church has spoken, Italy can no longer range herself on the side of these ruthless aggressors, nor Ireland continue to remain aloof from the struggle. “The plan of the Axis powers to place one-half of the world under the dominion of Hitler's pagan Nordic god and the other half under the rule of Japan's sun goddess, the pagan Amaterasu-Omikami, is ut-}may not yet have assumed such} terly repugnant to those who cherish Singer Taught Music After Retiring From Metropolitan in 1939 By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 2—Charles Hackett, 52, a tenor of the Metro- politan Opera Co., who has sung at many concerts in the United States, South America, Europe and Aus- tralia, died yesterday after an ap- pendectomy at Mary Immaculate Hospital, Jamaica, Queens. A singer since his youth, when he | was a member of the Worcester (Mass.) High School Glee Club, he later sang with Mme. Nordica at the age of 19, and with Gluck, Homer and Witherspoon. After studying voice in Florence, Italy, he made his debut in “Mig- non” in Genoa, in 1916. He then was engaged to sing at La Scala in Milan, making 14 appearances there. His debut with the Metropolitan was made in 1919 in “The Barber of Seville.” He joined the Chicago | Civic Opera Co. in 1923 and returned | to the Metropolitan in 1933.
