Religious Leaders Claim Parents Need Not Worry
 About WAACS

Washington. June II. - (UP) - National leaders of nine religious denominations believe that service as a WAAC will strengthen a girls character and have assured parents that they need not worry about the moral and spiritual welfare of wom- en ill the service.
 They issued a statement last night after they had visited WAAC train ing centers at Fort Des Moines, Ia, and Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson yesterday described report that WAACS would be issued contraceptives and prophylactics as a sinister rumor, absolutely false.'
 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, in her daily newspaper column today, said of the reports:
 q have inquired of the authorities and find that there is probably no group of young women anywhere with as high a standard of good be- havior"
 The religious leaders said that the Sacrificial contribution now being made by WAAC is "a hopeful har- binger of the new world order"
 There is ample evidence that this experience will strengthen their womanly character" they said. "The balanced program of their training and regimen makes them better trained individuals, more ready to do their duty for the duration"
 The church leaders were Dr. Bar net R. Brickner, National Jewish Welfare Board, Cleveland; pr. s. Arthur Devan, General Commission on Army and Navy Chaplains; Dr, Joseph c. Hazen, Northern Baptist Convention, New York; Dr. J. Quin- ter Miller, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, New York; Bishop w. w. Peele, Council of Bishops of the Methodist Church, Richmond, Va; Dr. Almon R. Pepper, National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church, New York: pr. William Barrow Pugh, the Presbyterian Church in the United States, Philadelphia; the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Michael J. Ready, National Catholic Welfare Confer ence, Washington; Dr. Carroll c. Roberts, International Convention of Disciples of Christ, Washington.

bers who cannot purchase it at any
of the four Hartford mutual savings
banks, according to John P Royston,
manager of the S.B.L.I. fund
These are the credit unions of
the employees of the UnemplOy-
ment Compensation Division of
the State Department of Labor, and
of the employees of the Standard
Propeller Co., East Hartford. Other
credit unions that have shown in
terest are the unions at St. Mary's
Church, Windsor Locks; and at the

tried with no success to induce one
of the four mutual savings banks
in Hartford to adopt the service
as public convenience ever since
the plan went into effect Jan. |,
