Two million match folders with

planes in the Philippines, were
shipped to Gen. Macarthur before
the reconquest began.
The Office of War Information,
which on behalf of the Army pre-
pared and shipped the messages of
encouragement, acknowledged the
matches did not reach his head
quarters until August, a year after
the general asked for them.
Part Of the delay, 1t was ascer-
tanned, resulted from indecision
whether to use the text Gen. Mac
Arthur proposed or-since a COM
mand change could have occurred
before the invasion started-to use
the words, 1--WE are on the way back

MacArthur's wording finally was

On Religion Close

Ministers should get out and IA
miliariZe themselves with condi-
tions in their own neighborhoods
rather than rely on secondhand in
formation for their studies, L. b
Nichols, assistant director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
told the concluding session of How
ard University's School Of Religion
28th annual session yesterday.
Pointing out that the basic rea-
son people commit crime Is q lack
of a sense Of moral responsibility,
Mr.. Nichols declared this was one
job the church can do to decrease
law violations. He said youths
under 81 commit 13 per cent Of the
murders, perpetuate IS per cent OF
the robberieS and steal "a per cent
of the cars taken. He added that
more males Of II and more females
of 18 were arrested this year than
that of any other age group and
pointed out that ministers should
be the ones best equipped to reach
these age groups If the church was
to do its job well.
Miss Virginia Clary, social work
director of the District Juvenile
Court, said the war has dramatized
the juvenile delinquency problem for
both good and bad. She asserted
parents must share large part Of
the blame for waywardness Of youth
as boys and girls usually pattern
their behavior by watching their
elders. Another contributing factor
to juvenile delinquency is the dele
eating of responsibility to youths
beyond that which they normally
are prepared to shoulder.
