SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. IA
Hats off to the Pastor, officers
and members Of the Alden
Street Baptist church, organ
lied eighteen months ago by
the Rev Hezekiah M HutchingS.
Starting with 103 members and
with no place to worship, they
held meetings from house to
house. In June 1914 they secured
property through the coopera-
ton of one julius Meltzer, real
estate operator, a friend Of the
pastor and members of the
church. The cost of the building
was $4,000. Having the courage
of their convictions and a firm
hope in God, agreements were
made for a down payment of
$4,000 and $4,000 six months
later and l6 years to pay the
balance of mortgage with inter
est. They entered their new
church home the first Sunday in
June of 1914 and were ready to
make another payment one
month before it was due. In
January 1945 a rally was
launched to liquidate the re-
naming debt in twelve months.
DR. Charles Joiner, a prominent
businessman and a trustee Of
the church, was elected chair
man of the Drive. The Goal was
set at $4,000. After vi Day
many of the members lost their
! jobs but still encouraged by
previous efforts, they continued
to give. Sunday December 80,
1915, was the dead line set for
/ the rally and when receipts
weres counted they had raised
| $20096 over amount to pay off
the mortgage. 1t was further
found that since June 1914 to
December 1945, under the wise
leadership of its pastor, the
church had raised over $S1, 900
and while engaged in this good
work the record shows they
bought War Bonds and stamps,
contributed to the Red Cross
and rendered services at West
over Field, while young women
served as hoStesses and also
gave to the Community War
Chest Fund. other major con-
tributions were to the United
College Fund: The NAACP,
Russian Relief, Foreign Mission
Board of National Baptist Con-
vention, and to the National BIZ
BILE Society for service to Men
and Women in the Armed serv-
| ices. This remarkable work was
done by a small but loyal mem
bership of $50 people of which
! one-fourth are school children,
Credit is also given to friends
and non-Inembers, including
many white people of the COM
munity. The church is well or
ganized and is destined to play
ma important part IN the Social,
Civic and religious life of the
community. Officers Of the Al
den Street Baptist church are:

Geneva Pact Exploited
By Japs, Tokyo Court Told

Wild told the International War
Crimes tribunal today that the
Japanese contended they were not
bound by the Geneva Convention
for treatment of prisoners of war.
but never heSitated to use its terms
when 1t worked against Allied pris-
onerS.
In many arguments we had in
camp with the Japanese about
treatment of prisoners. we always
had the Geneva Convention quoted
against us but we always were told
1t was not binding on the japanese, -
said Col. Wild, a Briton taken at
Singapore and held prisoner four
years.
He made this statement after
Toklsaburo Shiohara, attorney for
Heitaro Kimura, former commander
in chief in Burma, tried to explain
away Col. Wild's testimony that,
over the protest of British officers,
they were separated from their In
dian troops. Shiohara contended
the Geneva Convention advocated
separating troops of different ma
tionalities.
The Geneva treaty in that re-
spect certainly does not apply to
soldiers of the same army" COM
mented Sir William Webb. tribunal
president.
Shiohara few minutes earlier
had taken an opposite stand on

Court rulings against trespaSsing

Government Lays Off
|6,619 Here in Month; !;
1888 on Payroll

The Federal Government dropped
6,6l9 employees here in September,
the Civil Service Commission an
nounced yesterday. The number
of Government workers in Wash
ington now stands at 225 1888.
Nationally Government employ
ment decreased by 1882 during the
month and now stands at 2,154, 100,
the lowest level in Federal employ
ment since January, 1912. The
peak employment month in Gov
ernment was June, 1945, when
3,770,0O0 persons were on the Fed
eral payroll. ....
Most of the reduction in the ex-
ecutive branch of the Government
during the Is months occurred in
the War Department, which cut its
rolls 81 per cent from 1881 900 to
728, 900. The Navy Department
lowered its civilian workers from
$4,000 to $4,000.
During this period the Veterans
Administration increased its en-
ployment from IS, 900 to $4,000. The
Post Office Department also ex-
panded, with 10000 employees added
during this period, bringing total
Post Office employment to 495, 900.
More drastic cuts are still to come
in Federal agencies, with more than
600, 600 employees slated to be dis
missed by next July under provi-
sions set up by Congress in the Fed
eral Pay Act of 1916.
