As Nuzis Take Base
BY HARRY CROCKETT,


WITH THE BRITISH FORCES
NEAR THE EGYPTIAN FROM
TIER, June 24.-British Army and
Navy men who escaped from Tobruk
aboard the South African mine
sweeper Parktown said two anony-
nous heroes deprived the Germans
of valuable supplies by blowing up
docks and themselves.
From far out in Tobruk Harbor,
they saw the pair standing on the
opposite end of the docks loaded
with munitions and OIL Together,
they pushed down plungers setting
of five tons of explosives under the
wharves.
Rest of Them Leveled.
There was binding flash, the
loudest roar I ever heard, and every
thing around the harbor went up in
bits, including the two boys" one
soldier said.
He added that the conclusion
rocked the ship and must have
leveled what was left of the town.
After the British surrender at 7:45
am. Sunday, Italian infantry was
assigned to guard the prisoners but
usually there was only l to 20 be-
cause they were too busy looting
and taking food and water" the
escaped men said.
Got Italian Sentry Drunk.
A captain who led a group Of 10
to safety related:
I'VE got the Italian sentry drunk,
put him in the front seat of truck
and drove south through minefleld
toward Ell Adem."
Next morning, they captured two
Germans and set of again with
much soberer Italian, still in the
front seat, he continued. Near
Trigh Capuzzo, the group passed
right through German convoy but
lost the second truck in minefleld
and had to turn their German and
Italian prisoners loose.
A field hospital near here has
been busy day and night operating
on wounded men who escaped by

and that Protestant missionaries are

controversy has apparently gone so

some leaders are regarding with

Tax Moves Grow.
Two new moves have been made
in the direction of sanctioning taxa
ton Of certain types of church prop
erty. The National Association of
Assessing officers, holding its an
nual conference in Denver this
week, adopted resolution opposing
tax exemptions for certain church.
owned properties. The association
which is composed of 600 tax as
SCISSORS. recommended that steps be
taken in the various stakes to limit
the exemption of property Of reli-
gions, educational and other institu-
tions to property used solely and
exclusively for the primary activity
for which organized"
Asserting that some States have
extended tax exemption to include
real estate and personal property
owned by religious and educational
institutions and operated for COM
mercial or profit purposes, the con-
ference described such exemption as
"a public subsidy inimical to the
general welfare which increases the
tax burden on other property
owners"
The resolution then urged aboli.
ton of exemption privileges on i'm.
proved or unimproved properties
not devoted to the primary activity
of the institution, regardless of fu.
ture intention.
Another tax blow at the churche.
was struck by the Ohio State Su.
preme Court which has just rulec
that the property of a charitable
organization is not exempt from
state taxation if income is produced
Notwithstanding if the income i.
used for charitable purposes" Tht
ruling upheld tax against property

tions taken was the adoption, with
out a dissenting vote. Of . resolu-
ton which. in effect, approved con-
scription for overseas service, a
thorny issue in certain parts Of the
Dominion.
The resolution declared that, "The
United Church of Canada records
its judgment that no national or
racial group, no possessor of wealth,
whether of current or capital value,
and no physically fit person be ac-
corded any privileged position or
any exemption, except for con-
science sake, in this hour of grave
and perilous necessity"
Before the vote was taken, one Of
the delegates asked If the resolution
committed the church to a policy
OF conscription for overseas service.
He was told that it did.
One Of the few debates at the
convention occurred over the prob
lem Of theological schools and the
training of candidates for the min
istry. A special commission had
presented report recommending
economies in the operation of the
church's eight theological colleges,
which at present have less than 200
students. Some delegates protested
the proposals on the ground that
they would weaken the theological
schools at time when they need to
be given more support and attention
than ever before
The debate highlighted one of the
most important problems facing the
churches of Canada-the growing
shortage of clergymen. Just as the
convention opened, the Dominion
Government announced that divin-
ity students of all denominations
are subject to compulsory military
service. The announcement greatly
disturbed church leaders since it
was felt that the policy of drafting
theology students, in contrast to the
procedure in the United States, will
further deplete the dwindling sup
ply of clergy.
