Churches Recognize
Armed Forces Chaplains
As Real Missionaries
ANCHORAGE, Ufi—Dt. Eugene
Carson Blake, president of the
National Council of Churches,
said yesterday there is no more
important field of work for the
Christian ministry than the chap
laincy in the armed forces.
The chaplains of the armed ser
vices have the chance with young
men and women at the most cru
cial period in their lives, Dr.
Blake said at a meeting of Army
and Air Force chaplains.
He said the number of young
men and women who are “grad
uated” by the military each year
exceed by far those who are be
ing graduated by all the colleges
and «universities put together.
“This means,” Dr. Blake said,
“that the future of the churches
depends to a large degree on
whether the young men and
\yomen committed to the charge
of chaplains return to civilian
life better and more mature
Christians than when they* en
tered the service.”
The Protestant churches, Dr.
Blake said, are coming to recog
nize that chaplains are mission
aries just as much as ordained
civilians who serve the church in
foreign fields.
Civil Defense Director
Wants Foreign Subs To
Stay 500 Miles Away
SEATTLE, Wl — Foreign na
tions should be told to keep their
submarine at least 500 miles off
the coasts of the United States,
Vice Adm. Daniel E. Barbey,
U.S.N. (ret.) and Washington
State civil defense director, says.
Barbey expresses his views in
an article, “Our Weakest Spot”
in the current issue of a national
magazine (Saturday Evening
Post*.
The three-mile limit, he said,
is useless for military defense
against craft capable of launch
ing guided missiles.
For nearly three years now, he
continued, guided missiles have
been fired from U.S. submarines
in tests at ranges in excess of
200 miles with an estimated error
of less than 1 per cent.
Russian submarines lying off
U.S. shores could within a few
minutes destroy 70 important
targets within 200 miles of both
coasts, Barbey wrote.

Board of Juvenile Institutions
Recommends Consideration of
Alaska Juvenile Detention Homes
JUNEAU, iff) — The Board of'
Juvenile Institutions, referring to
Anchorage as "a critical area”
said Monday it was “urgently
recommending further consider
ation of juvenile detention
homes.”
Dr. Joseph O. Rude of Juneau,
chairman of the board, said the
group would ask for a special
meeting with finance and budget
departments of the territorial
government to review the board’s
1957-59 operating requests.
Budget Director Richard Sreer
and finance director John Mc
Kinney recently trimmed the
board’s budget request for the
next biennium from $445,388.00
to $136,014.
Calvin Pool, director of the
board, said the group primarily
was concerned with the $60,000
limit put on the board’s construc
tion program. i
“The construction of just one
more detention home in the next
two-year period, comparable to
the new one under construction
at Ketchikan, would use all the
funds allotted under the pro
posed budget,” Pool said.
Dr. Rude, commenting on a
three-day meeting of the board
which ended here Saturday, said
survey figures show that juve
nile delinquency in Alaska “has
become critical in some areas but
is practically non - existent in
other areas.”

Christmas trees have been get
ting to Gregg’s nose.

_I CHRISTMAS DAY

kan were specifically cited by
Pool as cities having “alarming
numbers of delinquency reports,"
compared with averages reported
in the states.
The board also reviewed a
draft of a proposed new juvenile
code for the territory, and went
on record as favoring expanded
powers for U. S. Commissioners
in dealing with juvenile offend
ers.

session. Board members, in addi
tion to Dr. Rude, are Mrs. D. J.
Bailey of Anchorage, the Rev.
