WANT SURPLUS
ARMY CHAPELS
Requests From Hundreds of
Small Churches of All
Denominations
NONE AVAILABLE

A postwar revival of religion
was seen in the scores of letters
the Philadelphia Regional Office of
War Assets Administration has re-
ceived about acquiring Govern
ment- surplus chapels. "The
interest seems to equal that shown
in surplus Bibles that WAA offer
ed several months ago." Frank L.
McNamee, Philadelphia WAA reg
ional director, observed. II hope
this is a reflection of a postwar
revival of religion" Unfortunate
ly, there just aren't any chapels
available now in the regional area,
a WAA aide explained.
When the national office of WAA
announced last October that some
800 chapels at Army installations
were to be declared surplus, the
Philadelphia Office got deluge of
letters asking where the line form
ed. They tapered off after a few
weeks, but still they come in at an
average of 10 week.
The stock reply to the flood of
inquiries now is that there are no
chapels available in the regional
area, that there may be some in
the future and that the request
will be placed on file. The appli-
cants also are told that some may
be available in other regions, but
they are so far away-Texas, the

 An inkling of the extensive Wea- ther and general air reconnaissance already attempted in the north was given recently when Un te States army air force B-29, base ! in Alaska, was forced down in Greenland.
 C. D. Howe, Canadian recon struction minister, told Parliament yesterday that it is hoped the new system will facilitate exchange O. weather information with Russia "and other neighboring countr es in the north when possible"
 Russia, Howe said, already has "very extensive exchange of weather information with Canada and will be greatly benefited by the additional reports which vii. be made available to them"
 During the war, the United States used weather reports from Russia, particularly those on storm movements from Siberia which eventually reached such areas as the Aleutians and Alaska from which American air and naval forces were operating against tae Japanese.

Marshall Leaves For Peace Farley

" WASHINGTON, P)-Secretary of state Marshall left today for the Big Four foreign ministers meet ing in Moscow, openly expressing doubt that a peace treaty for Ger many can be written there.
 He forecast success, however, for a second aim of the momentous gathering-the drafting of a peace agreement for Austria.
 Preliminary talks have laid the groundwork for an Austrian ac- cord. But Marshall said the Big Four-France, Russia, Great Bri- tain and the United States-are still in disagreement on the fun damentals of a German treaty.
 This preview of the Moscow meeting was given reporters just before Marshall's plane took off at 9:ll am. The secretary added in a dictated statement:
 "If we are successful in reach ing agreements on major funda- mental principles I would be very much pleased"
 In any event, Marshall said, he is conscious that the negotiations will be extremely difficult and their consequences momentous."
 Several top governmental off cials, including undersecretary of state Dean Acheson, and treasury secretary Snyder, were at the air port to see Marshall off on his most important undertaking since he took over the nations top diplo- matic post.
