time today by the Stars and Stripes.

presented the account officially re-
leased at a press conference by an
Allied headquarters spokesman ear
lier in the week.
The story said, There have been
few public demands for Gen. Pat

in the press seems generally to in
cline to the view that the high

the matter"
The newspaper also carried a fol-
low-up story from Washington
quoting Secretary of War Stimson's
remark that responsibility for any
disciplining of Gen. Patton rested

BALTIMORE, Nov. 27.-Assertins
that "the high rate of labor turn
over Is Baltimore's most serious
manpower problem" Lawrence B
Fenneman, State director of the War
Manpower Commission, disclosed
that Baltimore war industries had
hired $4,000 persons during the
first eight months OF 1943 to show
a net gain of only 1880.
Mr.. Fenneman said that a check
of l26 essential establishments in
Baltimore showed an employment
advance from 232, $50 to 244,350 in
the eight-month period and that
8 of every 100 essential workers
left their jobs monthly.
More than six OF every eight, he
continued, were found to have left
their jobs OF their own accord.
THE extent to which workers con-
tinue to leave essential jobs in this
area has been a serious handicap
in the effort to provide sufncient
labor to man our important war
industries" he said.

Exclusion Act, which bans Chinese
immigration and makes Chinese
residents ineligible for naturaliza-
ton, reached President Roosevelt's

take" The repeater provides for q
quota system under which los Chi
nese would be admitted annually
1t also lifts the ban against the
naturalization of Chinese.
The ban on Chinese immigration
was passed 81 years ago. There now
are about $4,000 Chinese in the
United States, including native.
born American citizens and Orien-
tal-born residents not now eligible
for citizenship.

the action meant sticking a big

 OVER TOP IN THEIR
 WAR SERVICE GOAL

NEW YORK, May 27.--More than $1 100000 has already been receiv- ed by the Wartime Service Commis- sion of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Its million dollar special fund for work with the armed forces, war industrial communities and world relief to be raised by May 31, is announced by the Rev. Dr. Stuart Nye : Hutchinson, chairman of the Commission and Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, to have reached $1,000,74263 with contributions still pouring in. Dr. Hutchinson states that the Com mission expects that when all re- turns are in the Fund will exceed Sl 100000.
 Through it's Chaplains' Commit tee the Presbyterian Church has procured hundreds of specially quail flied Presbyterian ministers for the Chaplains' Corps and has assisted them in their service to the officers and enlisted personnel of the army and navy. The first chaplain killed in action in this global war was a Presbyterian Navy Chaplain, the Reverend Thomas l.. Kirkpatrick, Chaplain of the Arizona.
 The Church also has pioneered in assigning ministers to serve as camp pastors in liaison with chap lains and churches in Army and Navy areas. It also maintains hos pitality houses in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico; Miami, Florida; and Atlantic City, N. J., in which men in the service find a home away from home. In churches located near military and naval forces it has made possible a varied program to service men and their wives. Presbyterians have commissioned a motorized church, The Wayside Chapel" which serves trailer com

 In war zones the missionaries of the Church are entertaining home hungry American service men, run among homeless millions, and CO., ming hospitals for sick and wound ed, victims of war in China and the Near East, directing relief work operating with other agencies oper- ating in various parts of the world.
 The Commission will report to the l55th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, to convene in Detroit May 27, and will there present its plans and needs for the new church year.
