State. There has been an ever eN-
panding program of Baptist life for
southland. Through the efforts Of
the home mission Ooard the dcnom-
ination has reached into the darkest
sections of the land. Nor have Bap-
fists forgotten the worlds need Of
evangelism. From the early begin
nings Of missionary endeaVor to the
present time BaptiStS faced this
great challenge. In the conquests tor
tomorrow BaptIsts must realize that
they need to give to others the gift
of the Son of God because of their

SAN FRANCISCO, July
18. (UP)-An earth-rOcking
explosion of two ammunition
ships at the U. S. Naval am
munition depot at Port Chi
cago, California, in upper
San Francisco bay, killed at
least 343 persons and injured
more than 800 others, it was
estimated Tuesday.
Navy officials said that re-
vised totals of the dead or in
j1red would not be available
until it was determined how
many men were on shore
leave or aboard their ships
when the explosion occurred.
The navy announced that
$50 enlisted men and nine Of
ficers were missing and pre-
sumed dead" Four coast
guardsmen were reported
missing, four civilians dead,
and a crew member declared
70 men were aboard one of
the blasted ships.
At 8 am, navy officials began
checking q roster of personnel to
determine how many men were
missing.
The navy said 1t now was believed
there were two separate explosions
10 seconds apart. Whether the first
occurred aboard a pier or on a ship
was not known.
The war shipping administration
later estimated IA men were aboard
the two ships. VISA said two crew
members of one of the ships known
to have been ashore remained I'M

The two ships were identified as
the new 100000 victory ship
