THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1948 PAGE FOURTEEN Independent Religious Group Are Mushrooming in Japan ' By Rutherford Posts ' (United Pro. Staff Correapuliilvnt) Tokyo llP IndeDendent relle lous groups are mushrooming In Japan under- the stimulus of oc- cupuon-granted religious freedom Dr. W. K. Bunce, of Westervllle, O., chief of the allied command's religions and cultural resources division, warned, however, that While the democratic tendencies and rapid appllactlon of the new religious freedoms are a healthy sign, "tney are only a sign." He pointed out that "in a eoun try which has followed aristocrat ic and feudalists tradition for hundreds of years, complete un derstanding of the less obvious aspects of religious freedom Is too mucn to expect in a short per iod. , - "Given time and education, the Japanese may resolve themselves Into a lew denomnlatlons of popu lar appeal which can become strong enough to absorb the many small sects and cults.'; -Sects Increase ' Indicating a' marked effort by' Japanese to take advantage ol . their new religious freedom, inde pendent Buddhist sects have ad vanced irom 28 at the war's end to nearly 100; Shinto, from 14 to 85, and Christian, from three to 16. The most recent Christian churches re-established in Japan with the Lutheran and Nazarene. The majority of the new groups have broken off, from established denominations. - In addition, some 25 or 30 new sects, which cannot be classified as Christian, Buddhist or Shinto, have developed. These new sects generally fall into one of five cate gories:' - . - (1) Messianic groups in which the founder or chief organizer is hailed as a Messiah; ' 1 (2) Prophetic groups which re ligiously prophesy events to come; - a (3) Composite religions which contain elements of ..Shlntolsm, Buddhism, Christianity or some other recognized faith;. .. ... ,. (5) Cults employing nostrums, incantations, special ceremonial devices and other occult practices for curing ills and solving prob lems. ,. i ' ' Feudal Break-up ' : "The breaking up of feudalists religious cults followed by the de velopment of new religious groups is the most significant re sult of the establishment of relig ious freedom in Japan," Dr. Bunce said. "However, it is not the only result. "State-controlled Shlntolsm has virtually disappeared. Shrine-worshipping Shlntolsm continues to exist, but with no connection to the state." ' One unusual development, .Dr. Bunce said, has been the organiza tion of labor unions by religious workers and even by priests. In the case of shrines, discon tinuation ef financial support from the government has led to complete dependence on funds eontrlbuted by individuals or in come from services rendered. Buddhist Institutions previously received relief on donations through the family system and primarily on large sums donated by wealthy patrons. As a result of the shange in the family system and the general financial distress in Japan, many Buddhist temples have been revising their fund-raising campaigns to rely more on smaller donutlons from muny indi vidual donors.

Ellis New York U' The drug chlor oqln, developed during the war wiien the Japanese shut off Am erican supplies of quinine, has won its laurels as an , ugent against malaria in Africa. Word of Its successful tests comes from Wendell Phillips, leader of the University of Cali fornia African expedition, which has been In Africa more than a year. Malaria, a common ailment In many sections of Africa, has been stopped in many cases through use of chloroquin, Phillips report ed. In some cases, one tablet a week Is enough to be effective, he said. The studies In Africa have been conducted by Captain James L. Sapero, of the marine corps, who is directing the expedition's med ical program. As has been pre viously determined, chloroquin has few bad reactions for the pa tient, and does not cause the yel low taint in the skin which results some times with use of atabrine. Phillips said the drug has been tested in Mombasa, Kenya, bor dering the Indian ocean, against the strain or tast Atrica s malig nant tertian malaria. In a prelim inary study of nine cases, two Eu ropean and seven African persons were helped by the drug. Capt. Sapero and his associates also found 19 children In a small native village in the Mombasa area that was suffering from a rare type of malaria. They, too, were helped by chloroyuln. Phillips reports that the expe dition has reached the half-way mark. It has completed Its work in Egypt, Sinai, the Sudan, and is now finishing work In Kenya, Uganada, Tanganyika and Zanzi bar. ' The expedition has been work ing on a varied program, Includ ing Investigations into medical research, palebntology, geology and anthropology. , Since the, end of the war there has been a renewed interest in Africa. It is not by big-game hunt ers this time, but by scientists who are seeking the answers to some of the mysterious questions about Africa and its people.
