Barstow, commission director, disclosed to- day.
 The budget presented to the commission proposed the purchase of trucks, jeeps of cars, and bicycl- es, Dr. Barstow said, adding that the commission felt such action by the churches would aid relief pro- grams and pastoral activities now hampered because transportation is undependable or non-exiStent.
 Further details of the 1946 relief program for the churches, Dr. Bar stow said, would include gifts in clothing and food from churches through their denominations to a value of at least $4,000,000 A furth- CT $5O0,000 was allotted to facilitate immediate relief of critical short ages in Europe.
 Dr. Barstow said that the com mission is continuing it's policy of distributing relief through local church organizations in cooperation with other relief agencies. Treadle sewing machines, needles, scissors and kitchen untensils will be sent to churches al lover Europe thus making of each church an effective ogent for physical and spiritual reconstruction.
 Commission members approved steps taken to provide literature | to seminaries and pastors in Eu- rope. The commission is making up 75 liberaries of 100 books each, chosen by church and seminary of- ficials in America and depicting American theological thought and church activity during the time continental churches have been cut off from communication with the west.
 The commission head the report of the Rev. Dr. Hugh Thompson hcII, lO11llc1 pdoGOl O1 O1AdOy oAAC Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, who recently toured Europe as rep resentative of the World Council of Churches. Dr. Kerr urged the commission to take immediate steps to re-establish education for pas tors in Europe.
 "The ranks of the European pas tors has been sadly depleted" Dr. Kerr told commission members, "and theological faculties are poor. The war has taken a terrible toll and We must see that scholarships are provided and the six years Europe has last is somehow re- stored"
 Dr. Leslie B. Moss, whose Church Committee on Overseas Relief and reconstruction, 297 Fourth avenue, handles shipment of all Protestant relief to both Europe and Asia, told commission members that 500 bales of clothing, bedding, linens, shoes, and food have been readied and have left New York.
