The new religious body Is ap-
parently the elimination of a
series of regional declarations
which the Japanese have been or
ganizing. Private reports re-
eeived by missionary groups In
the United States indicate that
such regional groups were being
organized last spring. For ex-

All church groups were forced

The policy regulating religious
bodies was first adopted in Japan
proper. Laws providing for a
comprehensive control of religious
organizations were promulgated
in 1910. Approval by the Minister
OF Education was necessary for
the establishment of any religious
sect or denomination. Both sects
and local congregations were re-

ASK FOR CHRISTIAN
WORKERS IN CHINA

The Japanese are apparently
making no effort to introduce
Shintoism. their official religion,
into the conquered territories.
They are said to have strong
doubts as to the possibility of
natives assimiliating japanese cul-
ture. The three principal re-
ligions in the occupied areas are
Confucianism, Buddhism an d
Christianity. and the invaders
must approach natives in terms
of these faiths. That they are
doing so Is evident from two re-

Senate Passes Bill Lowering :.
Draft Age With Restrictions
The House, Now In Recess,
Not To Take Action I'm
til After Election

Washington - The senate pass
ed the teen age draft bill Satur-
day night but hedged it with re-
strictions which were highly un-
acceptable to the president and
the military authorities and
which appeared likely to delay
it's final enactment.
In voting to lower the draft
age from 20 to Is years, the SEN
ate stipulated that selectees in
that age group should not be sent
to combat overseas before they
had undergone a full years
training. This amendment by
Senator O'Daniel 3D., Tex.), was
adopted 80 to 81.
Another amendment provided
for the deferment of men of any
age regularly engaged in an ag-
ricultural occupation or endeavor
essential to the war effort" so
long as they remain in that work
and until satisfactory replace
ments can be obtained. This RI
der, by Senator Tydings 3D.,
Md, carried 81 to 6.
Working past the dinner hour,
the senate then rejected several
other changes and passed the bill
by vote of So to S with Senators
Bulow 3D., S. d., Clark 3D., Ida
hoy, Johnson (R., Calif.), Nye (R.,
N. d. and Shipstead (R., Mimi
voting "No."
The measure now will 60 back
to the house and probably later
to conference for an adjustment
of differences. The house is TAX
ing an informal recess until af-
ter election day Nov. 3 and it ap-
peared unlikely that the bill
could be enacted before then.
Vice President Wallace named
Senators Reynolds 3D., N. CO.,
Thomas 3D., Utah), Hill 3D., Ala.)
Austin (R., VT and Quincy (R.,
S. d., all of whom voted against
the O'Daniel amendment, as a
committee to confer with house
group over differences. The
house rejected a similar proviso
when it passed its bill last week
The senate refused, 81 to "a, to
agree, as the house had done, to
the deferment of 18 and 19-year-
old high school and college stu
dents for the remainder of their
academic year. This left stand
ing a provision deferring only
high school students if called ur
in the last half of their academic
year.
It accepted, however, an a
mendment by Senator Ellende1
3D., La.) which would prevent
the calling of any man after he
had reached the age of As thus
eliminating many who registered
before they were As from being
indicted after they passed that
maximum age.
