nouncement Of the formation Of .

Episcopalians. who remained outside
the previous unincation. and also
embraces such organizations as the
YMCA, YWCA and WCTU.
The purpose of the new uninca-
ton and of the broadcast announce
ment was not clear.
Observers of Japan's propaganda
believe it may be part of a peace
offensive which the Japanese may
eventually address particularly to
the churches and benevolent groups
in this country.
Domei said the new church had
supplanted the old concept of Japa-
nese Christianity with a new one,
but was not definite on this point.
For several years before Pearl
Harbor the Japanese government
had exerted pressure to remove
Christian institutions in Japan from
control Of the foreign missionaries.

British, most OF whom have now left
the country, and unite all denomina-
tions In one church under govern

ant denominations, except the Epis-
copalians.
Roman Catholics In Japan formed
their own association in May, 1941.

three years ago, numbered Japa-

that the purchaser may not in any
way exploit the use of the name Of

There, he said Nazi doctors were
killing them at the rate of more
than 100 men an hour, per doctor"
by injecting air bubbles into their
veins-"the simplest and cheapest
method" they could find.
DR.. Wise, who heads the commit
tee, asserted that already the Jewish
population OF Warsaw had been re-
duced from 100000 to 100000.
The Polish government-in-exile
reported in London yesterday that
Heinrich Himmler, Gestapo chief,
had ordered the determination of
one-half of the Jewish population of
Poland by the end Of this year and
that 250,OOO had been killed through
September under the program. Only
10000 Jews-skilled workers in the
German war industry-are to remain
in the Warsaw ghetto, the govern
ment said.
Bodies Used to Make Fats.
The Nazis have established a price
of so reichsmarks for each corpse
mostly Jewish, DR.. Wise indicated
and are reclaiming bodies of slain
civilians to be "processed into such
war-vital commodities as soap fats
and fertilizer"
He (Hitler) IS even exhuming
the dead for the value of the
corpses," he added.
DR.. Wise attributed the Hitler
campaign toward elimination of all
European Jewry this year to "a last
desperate effort-one Of his last
mad acts before he is destroyed or
called to his judgment"
In addition to the State Depart
ment. which he said had provided
the documentary proof of previous
rumors and reports, DR.. Wise said
representative Of President
Roosevelt, recently returned from
Europe" had confirmed other
stories and told him that "the worst
you thought is true"
Whether details Of the gruesome
campaign will be revealed publicly
will be decided by the committee,
DR.. Wise said, adding that any con-
templated action will be announced
after today's meeting.

FARMERS URGED
TO VOTE QUOTA
ELECTION DEC. II

Supplies of cotton for both mil
itary and civilian use are suffi-
cient to last two years, but we
don't have nearly that much food.
In view of this situation, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard is asking farmers to vote
IN another cotton marketing quota
referendum December 12.
The production of food and 9TH
or scarce war crops should be of
primary concern to all farmers
this year for the same reason that
making war materials has become
the chief concern of manufacture
ers.
Short staple cottons are still in
surplus in this county and in
view of the urgent need for the
production of other essential agri-
cultural commodities it still ap-
pears necessary to hold cotton
production within the limits of
the Nations actual needs. In the
case of lands not adapted to the
production of long staple cottons.
growers are urged to plant the
longer staple varieties of short
cotton.
1t is more important than ever
before for Arizona Cotton Farm
ers to vote this year in the mar
keting quota referendum on De-
cember II. For information re-
garding the many conveniently
located polling places consult the
local County Agricultural Conser-
vation Association.
