had been taken on number of occa-

Subject to military government regu-

have been permitted to resume activi-

The Jewish communities, practically
wiped out by the Nazis, slowly are be-
ing reconstructed. Reports from the
American zone said that many syna-
gogues have been repaired Professionally
so that services can be held. There is
an acute shortage of trained rabbis,
prayer books and other religious articles.
The so-called German Christians"
members of the Nazi Church. are per-
mitted to worship if they desire, but
their Nazi ministers have been sus-
pended, and close eye is being kept
on them for signs of subversive activ-
lty. 1t is very small group.
Little Reconstruction.
progress report by the American
military government showed that little
has been done on reconstruction of
ruined church buildings, mainly be-
cause priority on raw materials for the
present goes to hospitals, schools and
essential public buildings. 1t was esti-
mated that so per cent OF the church
buildings in the American zone were
destroyed during the war.
There is need for easing interzonal
travel by churchmen. Lack of regular
postal channels has delayed the import
Of religious literature from abroad. A
shortage of paper has made it difficult
to restock libraries and homes with
church literature. Evangelical leaders
estimated they needed 100000 Bibles
and l,250,000 New Testaments in the
American zone alone
To help relieve the shortage of priests
and ministers. clergymen and theologi-
cal students were released quickly from
prisoner-of-w camps and the majority
of the theological institutions reopened.
In the American zone there now is an
enrolment of 1900 students at Catho-
lie theological schools and seminaries.
Protestant theological schools have an
enrolment Of sl4, the report said.
