The board of American missions reported late yesterday that church activities have been deeply shaken by the war and pointed out that the biggest need of the church is men for the ministry. "If all chaplains now in the service were to return to civilian life tomorrow and all the seminary seniors were to be ordained at once, there would not be enough to shepherd vacant parishes," Dr. Zena M. Corbe, New Yori City, declared. The board said neglected Negro and rural areas and the demand for work among the nation's war-working migrants were the fields where ministers were needed today.

Tokyo radio, quoting naval and diplomatic officials, told the Japanese tdat "American guerrillas" are disrupting communications in the Philippines and that fuel and commodity shortages have arisen due to shipping difficulties. Nippon's shipping troubles were aggravated by the fact that cargo ships made up the bulk of the 140 ships sunk or damaged in the carrier operations. 45 U.

Into War Bonds have less chance to bid un nriciw in freed or occupied territory. This helps prevent inflation there. This is the way the Army used as an example here sells bonds: Effort is made to get the men interested in buying bonds before they leave the country.

If they want the bonds bought out of their monthly pay. they sign an allotment card, then the regular reductions are made. If the service man still is in this country when payment on a bond is completed, it is sent to him or to anyone he designates. Bonds are not sent out of the country. So if he is overseas when payment is finished, the bond is sent either to some person he designates in this country or la held for him in a federal reserve bank.
