Biographical Sketch of
Capl. E. Conover
Captain Earle Conover who has
begun a column with this paper,
entitled “Brotherly Behaviour”,
brings a background of a colorful
career to us each week. By prof
ession, education, cultural con
tacts and a widely-diversified ex
perience, he is able to write out of
a life entirely freed of prejudice
and bigotry for our information
I and mutual inspiration.
Bom into a minister’s home, Mr.
Conover is also a minister, regul
arly ordained about twenty years
ago. He served three churches in
northern New Jersey and in lower
New York State, as a member of
the Reformed Church in America,
recognized as the oldest denomin
ation in this Country with one con
tinuing history.
EDUCATION
Educated at one of the very earl
iest colonial colleges, Rutgers Uni
Theological Seminary in New
versity in New Jersey (1776), Mr.
Conover later graduated from tne
Brunswick (1784), the oldest sem
inary in the United States. Later
studies were made at Columbia
University, Union Theological Sem
inary, Drew Seminary, Biblical
Seminary and New York Univers
ity. Adding to the three earned
degrees of Litt. B., B. D-, and Tli.
M., which he now holds, the resid

osophy degree was completed in

PLAIN - LOGIC and clear-think
ing are two delegates who should
always register at all manage
ment and labor conventions. They
should be ever present in all
councils of patriotic groups.
Neither our business nor our
labor leaders must be responsible
for a lock-out of truth and of the
dignity belonging to facts and
figures. Inasmuch as plain Amer
icans can reason, just so will they
see any inadequacies of thought
demonstrated by any leaders.
Most of American labor was
'pleased, I believe, when the CIO
adopted a resolution recently con
demning Communist influence in
its ranks. I suspect the rank and
file back home gave this action a
(round of genuine applause. And
aside from the intra-union poli
tics which prompted the resolu
' Ition, regardless of the doubtful
(political tinge of the men who
(drafted it, my belief is that the
CIO unions are taking a step in
the right direction.
In The AT ANY RATE, these
Record unions have put down
on the record their re
sentment and rejection of efforts
of the Communists and “other
political parties’’ to interfere
with their affairs. Communists,
they seem to imply, are just an
other political party, but let us
not forget what ideology is fol
lowed by the Communist line,
whether in a party by that name
or in other parties. There’s noth
ing American about their ideology
nor their long-range aims.
It would seem the time has
come for our two major political
parties to do more than merely
disown the Communists who have
infiltrated their own ranks and
the ranks of labor. Moreover, it
might be a good time for the two
major parties and for our leaders
of labor to say that political ac
tion groups have no business in
terfering with th6 affairs of po
litical parties.
Greater A PROMINENT labor
Threat personality recently set
down the profits of in
dustry for 1946 as $15,000,000 -
000, after taxes, and added that
this represents a greater threat
to the nation than dees Commu
nism. Whatever industry’s earn
ings will be for 1948, the figures
will not be high enough. The poor
showing in the first nine months
of the year, as seen in the stalled
output of the automobile indus
try and in the failure of many
industries to make any profit at
&11, will not make large sums
available for higher wages.
Poor industrial earnings will
not permit management to set
aside funds for expansion and for
badly needed working capital.
Neither will lagging production
bring a prosperity level that will
help pay our tremendous war
debt. No production brings r.o
profits and no wages.
Americans dislike to sre any
groups discredit the profit mo
tive. We like each mans pre
to make a profit,
whether he belongs on the side of
management and ownership or
wnether he is a wrge earner. It
is elementary economics th"t
wage earners do not experience
Wa"5-S ,nder conditions
W, it tv!PrC iS no Production.
Surely the rank . d file of Amer
icans know this We cannot be
h.at %ny ‘Jyal Americans
would like foi industry to be
constantly n the red. But we
know that .ue Communists would.

WAR RECORD
Captain Conover volunteered for
the second time to serve as a chap
lain in the Army in World War II.
Back in World War I, he had enlist
ed as a cadet officer in the Naval
Reserve Flying Corps, with the
rank of Chief Quartermaster in
Aviation (CQM-A),
The assignments during the last
war covered a period of four and
one half years and were: as an As
sistant to the Chief-of Chaplains
(Army) in Washington, D. C.; as
the first Assistant to the former
Chief-of Chaplains (Army) at Fort
Bel voir, Va.; as Camp Chaplain in
two prisoner of war camps, both
in Arkansas, first at Camp Chaf
fee (for enlisted men, about 3,800)
and later at Dermott, where about
10,000 German officers were con
fined. The last service was as a
Transport Chaplain on the S. S.
“Cushman K. Davis” in the South
Pacific and the Far East. Voyag
es took him to the Philippines,
China, Formosa and Japan.
PRESENT WORK
After helping as a oart.-Hm»
volunteer worker for the American
Brotherhood, or The National con
ference of Chirstians and Jews (an
inter-faith movement). Captain
Conover is now serving as the Re
gional Director of this work. A
broadening of the organization
throughout all of the State of Ne
braska and in western Iowa is the
immediate purpose. Mr. Conover
has bought a home at 3125 Mason
street so he intends to remain here
or some little time.
Captain Conover has had the
unique experience of having serv
ed, as a volunteer, in both of this
Nation’s major wars. During
World War No. 1, he served in the
Naval Reserve Flying Corps, as a
cadet officer in his studies to be a
naval pilot.
During his tour of Army service
Chaplain Conover had the peculiar
privilege of not merely minister
ing to men of all faiths by way of
comfort and counsel, but through
supervising and conducting divine
services for those of all religious
represented. Thus, Catholic, Jew
and Protestant, in both American
and German groups were served by
him. Iir the South Pacific and Far
East he ministered as best he
could, often through an interpreter,
to Filipino guerrilas as well as
Chinese and Formosan civilians.
The five assignments in the Ar
my provided a real variety of
work and valuable experience. The
first was that as an assistant to
the then-Chief of Army Chaplains,
Chaplain (Brig. Gen.) Wm- R.
Arnold, a Catholic priest. Here
Mr. Conover opened up a radio
desk which supervised the popular
“Chaplain Jim” program and plan
ned other programs for the Chief
and his staff. As many'as a thou
sand letters a week were received
through the War Department. A
photograph desk was later added
which collected Chaplain’s pictures
The second assignment was that
as the Assistant to the then-form
er Chief of Army Chaplains, Chap
lain (Colonel) Alva J. Bradsted, a
Southern Baptist minister. Here
the work was with the troops tak
nig basic training at Fort Belvoir,
Va., the “Home of the Army En
gineers.’’
Upon the opening up of German
prisoner-of-war work in this Coun
try, because of longer language
studies, Captain Conover was sent
to serve as the Camp Chaplain in
the P. W. Camp at Camp Chaffee.
Arkansas. Here he worked with
both American troops and German
prisoners, a total of about thirty
five hundred enlisted men.
Later, when the largest camp for
German officers was begun at Der
mott, Arkansas, this Officer was
sent there as the Camp Chaplain
Not infrequently there would be a
mong the approximately ten thou
sand prisoners of war as many as
forty fully ordained clergymen
whose services were utilized most
regularly.

There’s a lot of excitement at
our house these days! We’re plan
ning to build a new home late this
Spring, and there are so many
things to consider. You know, be
fore we talked to our architect, 1
hadn’t realized there were so many
types of materials to choose from.
I had set my heart on a story and
a half Cape Cod style home ... and
simply took it for granted that w«
would have a roof, a heating sys
tem and good plumbing. So when
our architect asked us what type oi j
heating and roofing we wanted, i
was at a loss — and so was my
husband! But knowing we had se
lected the most experienced archi
tect in town, we asked his advice —
and I’m certainly glad we did! He
explained the different materials to
use . . . and strongly advised the '
use of copper for roofing — flash
ings, gutters and drain spouts — as i
well as copper and brass plumbing j
and brass lighting fixtures.
Of course, I was familiar with
roofing and plumbing — but the!
other terms were mystifying! The
flashings, gutters and drain spouts
conduct water falling on the roof to
the ground — and naturally are im
portant to protect the roof. Ob
viously copper — which is sturdy
and rustproof would be the ideal
material 1 As he pointed out the
durability of copper and brass, I
immediately thought of my cooking
utensils of stainless steel with cop
per bottoms—which are just as
good now as when we were mar- |
ried. So I know the architect was
right.
My husband and I have said j
many times how thankful we were :
to have called in an architect . . . |
there are so many things we might !
have overlooked. Of course, his
years of experience have made him
an authority—and we’re confident
that our house will be much more
satisfactory because of his help!
