Meanwhile plea that churches
vigorously support the bond drive
was voiced by Rossel Edward
Mitchell. associate teacher of the
A. B. Pugh Bible class at Mount
Vernon Place Methodist Church.
1T is time the churches got back
of the war by organizing bond
drives among their memberships,
he said. Since Christian civiliza-
ton, human rights and the very life
of the church hangs in the balance,
what finer service can the churches
render, what more important work
can they do than back to the limit

dying for us? We should have War

Rosenman Surveying
Draft Deferments in
Government Service

Complaints from several agencies
that the War Manpower Committee
which passes on draft deferments IN
Government service, is too tougn"
have resulted in President Roose-
velt ordering study of committee
policies by Judge Samuel I. Ro,en-
man OF New York, one of his prin-
cipal advisers, 1t became known to-
day.
Judge Rosenman, it was said. is
reviewing the work Of the commit
tee and is to make a report to the
President on his findings.
The War Manpower Committee
was set up several months ago on
the basis of recommendations by
the Bellamy Committee, which went
into the whole subject OF draft de-
ierments in the Government at the
direction of the President. 1t subse-
quently was said to have aroused
the Ire OF number of agencies.
Inc committee passes on so-called
key" jobs for which an agency
may request deferment Of the in
cumbents, and is known to have
ruled adversely in a number of cases
in which exemption was sought.
In following a rigid policy, the
committee is understood to have
taken the position that it was con-
forming to the intent of President
Roosevelt in creating the unit.
IL was said the committee thought
that the deferment policy in the
Government was to be a model for
private industry, and its actions
have been shaped to that end.

Secrecy Veil Lifted
From 5pitsbergen
By the Associated Press.

By lne ASSOclaleQ PreSs.
LONDON, Sept. 13.-A veil of
wartime secrecy was lifted today
from the Arctic isle of Spitsbergen
and the Norwegian government-in-
exile told for the first time the story
of small band of Norwegians who
maintained a vital weather station
there for year and half.
The government disclosed that no
word had been heard from the gar
rison since it signaled the APPROACH
of a German feet which Berlin
announced had attacked and de-
stroyed installations there last We'd
nesday.
Since May, 1912, the garrison,
numbering fewer than 100 men, had
manned the weather station and
provided information needed for
ships sailing the northern route to
Russia.
The last official news concerning
the archipelago. only $50 miles be-
low the North Pole, was announced
in September, l941, when an Allied
force evacuated all persons living
there and destroyed coal mines
which the Germans were reported
using. Then tight censorship was
clamped down.
A month after the Allied landing,
the Germans moved in. The fol-
lowing May the Norwegians arrived
to build an Allied weather station.
German aircraft attacked the group
daily. On July British naval
force arrived, and the German gar
rison slipped away.
Since then, the Norwegians had
been undisturbed until the German
warships arrived.

Realistic Display.
The Quartermaster Corps exhibit
Is possibly the most ambitious dis
play at the show 1t boasts single
display of more than 235 by 40 feet,
representing a miniature theater of
operations with a depth of 1000
miles. 1t shows terrain in color
from the beachhead where troops
land to the foXholes and tank traps
at the front line, and it is as real
istic as an aerial photograph of
enemy held territory.
The Technical Training Service
at Camp Lee, Va. whose members
built the exhibit, had to make the
chips fly to get the Handicapped
panorama set up in time for the
show. Only other similar Army
property is the original theater of
operations at Camp Lee.

Britain Is Reported
Shifting Warships
For Drive on Japs
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. l3.-Britain
was reported today to be trans
ferring many of her heavier
naval units to the Far Eastern
fleet under Admiral Sir James
Somerville for the opening of an
Allied drive against the Japa-
nese in Southeast Asia this fall.
Lord Louis Mountbatten's new
Southeast Asia Command Forces
probably will be strengthened, too,
with the transfer of some thousands
of Commands from Britain-per-
haps for operations against such
outlying points as the Andaman Is
lands. which the japanese have been
using as submarine and seaplane
base, and against the Nicobar group
in the Bay of Bengal.
1t is anticipated here that the
coming offensive will be on far
greater scale than anything at
tempted thus far in Southeast Asia
and will get under way same time
in October when the monsoon sea-
son ends.
Burma Road Recapture Is Goal.
. In addition to early operations
against outlying islands now in
japanese hands, 1t is believed gen.
orally in London that recapture of
the Burma Road is one of the i'm
mediate goals of the Allies, not only
in order to speed supplies to China,
but also for political reasons.
Both the United States and Brit
ain are expected to increase air
power in that theater. The Arakan
campaign which the British under
took last December demonstrated
that the key to the reconquest of
Burma is naval and air power and
that without control of the sea lanes
the number of troops which can
successfully be maintained in
Burma is strictly limited by the
extraordinary complexity of land
communications.
Three reasons are assigned here
for the failure OF British Empire
forces to expel before now the five
divisions which it is estimated the
japanese are employing to hold
Burma.
Short Campaign Season.
First, India has occupied rela-
lively low place on the quota list for
second. the training of her
troops previously was directed to-
ward the desert warfare of the west
rather than the jungle warfare of
the east; third, the campaign season
between the monsoons is relatively
short.
Now the troops in Lord Mount
battens new command apparently
are high on the priority list for sup
plies and moreover recent operations
have given them experience in
jungle warfare. Next time the story
should be different.
