Russian Bishop in Jopon,
Foe of Reds, Visits Here
By sELWA ROOSEVELT

The man who helped free the
Russian Orthodox Church of
Japan from Communist control
arrived in Washington yesterday
for a brief visit.
Bishop Ireney, sent to Japan
as a representative of the Rus
sian Orthodox Church of North
and South America. is returning
after two successful years of
fighting Soviet attempts to DOM
mate some $4,000 japanese of
the Orthodox faith.
According to the bishop, Rus

its side for the Japanese church.

was traditionally supported by
the czars of Russia.
When the revolution came, the
Soviets repudiated all religion
until World War II. when they
found themselves forced to pay
lip service to it.
TT was during the postwar era
in Japan when the church split
into factions who wanted to
recognize the Moscow patri-
Archaic and those who wanted
to be affiliated with the Ameri-
can church" the bishop eX-
planned.
I'm 1949 the Communist
controlled church under a Bishop
Ono started litigation to take
away all church property from
the Japanese Orthodox and place
it under the control of Moscow.
This brought much confusion
and caused many japanese to
stray away from the church.
when I came, I wanted to
rectify this cancerous division of
the church and finally succeeded
in bringing Bishop Ono to my
side"
Bishop Ono and five other
priests broke with the Commu-
mist church and issued state
ment disclaiming any ties and
requesting to be brought under
the American church under
Bishop Ireney.
This was a significant propa-
ganda defeat for the Soviets, said
the bishop in an interview in the
Sheraton Carlton Hotel, for they
had hoped to utilize the Japanese
church. as they do the Soviet
Russian church, as an instru-
ment of Communist policy.
THE Soviets say they have full
religious freedom" said Bishop
Ireney. "I have suffered their
paradise on earth I know this
is merely another means TO
achieve their ends"
"Of course, Russia is allowing
the church to exist only as a
temporary measure. II they
were really sincere in their pro-
fessions of religious freedom,

ments on grounds of family depen-
dency. These recommendations, if
carried into action, will solve part
of the problem. What is needed in
addition is to let the rlen out who
would not be drafted under the
new policies.
II urge that you develop with
the Army, Navy and Air Force a
uniform policy for returning to
their homes these young men who
were long deferred and then draft
ed at the age of twenty-six or
twenty-seven. Meanwhile, l hope
that field commanders will be in
structed at once to grant every
reasonable request for early re-
lease on grounds of hardship.
II can understand the reluctan-
ce of Selective Service and the
Armed Forces to invite criticism
by adopting policies that would, in
effect, let some men escape the
draft altogether. / believe, how
ever, that the public interest
would be best served by the poll

would not be broken, aged parents
would not be plunged into hard
ship, the cost to the public purse

Senator Bricker
Wants Young Farm
Men Deferred

Senator John w. Bricker (R. :
Ohio today made public the fol-
lowing letter that he has address
ed to The Honorable Carter l..
Burgess, Assistant Secretary of
Defense tManpower & PERSONNEL
Washington, d. c
IT am concerned at the hurt in
flicted upon many farm families
through the drafting of farmers
who are twenty-six or twenty-sev-
en- years old These men were de-
ferred in their early twenties when
they were needed to produce food,
but now that food is abundant,
their deferments are being cancel
led and they are being pressed in
to service. Many of them have chill
dren, many of them are the sole
labor supply on family farms,
many of them have taken on heavy
burdens of debt to buy land or
machinery.
I'm theory, every young man
has the obligation of military SER
vice. In practice, the burden is
heavier on some than on others,
and we can only try through laws
and regulations to keep the in
equality within reasonable bounds.
For example, the burden is always
greater for married man than
for a single man. It is greater for
a father than for a childleSs man.
1t is greater for a farmer or for
a man who runs small business
himself than it is for an employee
of industry.
This nation no longer needs to
draft men twenty-six and twenty
seven years old and is probably
reducing its military effectiveness
by doing so. I am informed that
the number of men classified la
and eligible for draft calls has
jumped from $4,000 to 1,764,OO0
the last two years. Meanwhile, the
policy has continued of drafting
the older men first. The result is
that the average age of draftees
has risen from 20 in 1852 to %
in 1855.
This problem is recognized by
Selective Service officials. They
are now reported to have recon-
mended that men over 26 be de-
ferred indefinitely. They have al
so recommended that fatherhood
again be ground for deferment and
that draft boards deal more leni-
