Need Greater For Chaplains Army Calls For Chaplains Atlanta, May B.—“So alarming is! the shortage in the Chaplain Corps of the Army, that every congrega tion, every minister both in and out of uniform should be aroused to ac tion." These words, spoken recently by Chaplain Edward R. Carter, Jr„ Deputy Theatre Chaplain for the European Theatre of Operations, re- j fleet a situation that is as serious j today on the home front as it is in the fighting zones abroad, according j to advice just received from Fourth Service Command Headquarters in I Atlanta. j | ! “I would like to give the widest | [ possible circulation to Chaplain | Carter's statement.” Chaplain Ralph, W. Rogers said in Atlanta yester- ! day, "and to emphasize the fact that J the seven Southeastern states, where my own Chaplaincy extends, are j faced with a similar crisis, in which ; spiritual guidance for our soldiers j is clearly inadequate at the present time." Stating that 120 additional Chap lains are urgently needed in this Service Command, and that they must be supplied by the first of July, Chaplain Rogers continued to quote his overseas colleague, with whose statement, he said, he was in com-1 i plete agreement. o [■ Electricity At Wallace Short Raleigh.
