Says Bishop
NEW YORK. Aug 1 A)-Th '
rrrdim(t bishop of thr Protestant j
Krjisrf iil church, who spent 25 ,
year as a missionary to Japan, j
teliefs that missionaries who Ro
there in the future mny have a
better ha nee to win the people
to Christianity than did those of

"I think the church Kan a tig
rpnfttuniy. n Japan now prob-t
ablv icreater than ever before," ;
aid Bi.hop Henry St. George :
Tucker, in an interview.
$ "The war hs smashed the tra- I
ditiociaJ beliefs of the country," '
he explained. "All the things In
which the people had put their
trust have been pretty well dis
credited by the results of the war.
The bishop mid he has decided
that the atomic bombing of Hiro
shima and Nagasaki was justified
because, by helping to end the
war, it "probably saved more Jives
than it destroyed." But "I don't
think after seeing what the atomic
bomb does we would ever be. jus
tified in using It again."

Where Elates are Lowest of the
"Big 4" Coast Business Centers
Not only manufacturers of electric water heaters, but also numer
ous other industries in the PGE area enjoy a distinct advantage
through low-cost power. Lower rates offered business and industry
are reflected in better products at lower costs . . . more business
throughout the area . .-. more money in circulation for citizens
of the area.
PGE supplies an abundance of power at generally lower cost
than is available in any of the other "Big Four" Pacific Coast
business centers. Tt is an important advantage to the business of
today' to find an operating cost that has not skyrocketed, but
instead is loner than ever. Check the table below for a comparison
of costs in typical demand and consumption brackets.

off with two premium plans. One

cluding both lumber suppliers and
flooring manufacturers. The oth
er covers manufacturers of con
vector radiators used for residen
tial heating.

Increases for certain types of
hardwood lumber and hardwood
flooring. A ten per cent increase
over March, 1942 prices on con
vector radiators was granted by
OPA last week.
Previous Premiums
Four premiums plans previmily
have been started by Nil A to bols
ter housing construction. Thee
plans cover softwood plywood,
gypsum paper liner, structural
clay products and production of
timber on government owned
lands.
Under the first flooring subsidy
plan, participating manufacturers
are authorized to pay government
financed bonuses to their sup
pliers for certain grades and spec
ies of hardwood lumber.
Premium Specified
The bonuses under this plan:
for southern flooring lumber $8.50
per 1000 board feet for seasoned
lumber and $8 per 1000 feet for
green lumber; for northern floor
ing lumber, $3.50 for seasoned and
$1 for green.
Manufacturers would be reim
bursed by the government for
what they pay suppliers in bonus
es if manufacturers' quarterly
production is 10 per cent or more
above their quotas. Quotas are
based on actual production during
