ilt Nd dIlOIldl conference O1 CnTlS-
tians and Jews paid tribute to the
work of the Chaplain Corps of the
armed services yesterday by the pres
entation of citation to Chaplain
William C. Taggart, U. S. A., for his
book, MY Fighting Congregation
DR.. Andrew w. Gottschall, direc-
tor of programs in Army camps
Naval air bases and Marine Corps
made the award at a luncheon at the
Willard Hotel before some 200 guests
including ranking officials of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Pointing out that by the end of
1914 there will be an estimated TO-
900 chaplains in the Army and Navy
DR.. Gottschall, emphasized that It
is through these men of different
faiths working in cooperation in the
armed services that the postwar
America will be insured against
hate movements such as followed
the last war
The citation was made to Chap
lain Taggart and the co-author of
his book, Christopher Cross, ''in
recognition of the chaplains' devo-
ton TO the spiritual needs of the
men IN the service =. in apprecla-
ton of their salutary work . with
full aWareness of their readiness at
all times to minister to men of
creeds other thar. their own"
Brig. Gen. William r. Arnold. chief
Of Army chaplains. who was guest
speaker. declared that through the
sympathetic cooperation of the War
Department the Chaplains Corps is
three times the size it was in the
last war. with greater organization
and specialization.
Capt Robert D. Workman, chief
Of Navy chaplains, expressed regret
that the Navy Chaplain Corps, being
a subordinate part of another bu-
reau in the Navy Department, does
not have an organization compar-
able 10 that of the Army.
He praised Chaplain Taggart'
book as interpreting to relatives and
friends the value of a chaplain s
work to the young men and women
in the military forces.
Chaplain Taggart was decorated
for bravery last May for his service
with the 10Th Bombardment Group
in the Southwest Pacific. From his
experiences he supplied the incidents
for the first book to appear by a
front-line chaplain.

Sales Of Jam, Jelly

Rationing October 81
OPA Moves to Curb
Purchases increased
By Butter Shortage
Ey the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Jams, jellies, preserves and fruit
spreads are the next-and probably
the last-food items on the Nations
ration list.
The Office of Price Administration
yesterday placed an eight-day retail
sales freeze on fruit spreads at mid
night, preliminary to rationing,
which starts October 81. Ofhcials
said they did not now see any other
foods likely to require rationing.
The butter shortage sent demand
for jam soaring beyond the supply
prospects. The production outlook
for 1943-pack jams and jellies,
meanwhile, dropped to point about
100000 pounds annually.
The fruit spreads, which have
been "under-the-counter" items in
the grocery stores in many areas for
months, will be rationed on the pro-
cessed food tblue) stamps. Point
values will be announced soon, along
with the new point table effective
October 81.
One week from tomorrow, con-
sumers will be able to buy fruit
spreads by surrendering the last
three blue stamps, x, Y and z. in
ration book No. 2, good until No.
vember 20. On November l they
also may use green stamps A, B
and c from ration book No. 4, good
through December 90
Housewives will not have to de-
clare their stocks, or present their
ration books to have the stamps
torn out for their cupboard supplies.
OPA, which acted at the direction
Of the Food Distribution Adminis-
tration, said the table use of jams,
jellies and preserves was much
greater then generally realized" ex-
ceeding that of frozen fruits and
vegetables combined.
