United Press correspondents around the world have contributed to two dispatches, explaining the status ot religion ana ine cirrgy in ,i i. Here is today's dispatch u-hlrh deals with the situation in Europe.) By Homer Jenka United Press Correspondent The communist tide which en gulfed nearly two thirds of Eur ope has brought wilh it ever-increasing restrictions on religious freedom. The roman Catholic church has suffered most. But protest ant churches also have been hard hit. The Roman Catholic church once could make and break gov ernments, is fighting desperately to keep its independence in re ligious matters. Its political and economic influence for the most part has been destroyed. unlike tneir pagan counter parts in ancient Europe, the modern rulers of eastern Europe do not try to prevent religious worship. Instead they seek by every means to seize control of the church and make it another liuble instrument in the hands of the all-powerful state to keep the people toeing the communist line. Thev strike at the church hierarchy rather than at the worshippers. My imprisoning or otherwise immobilizing clergy men hostile to communism, they destroy the most important and influential nucleus arouno which the forces of religion might rally. Already the communists nave imprisoned the Roman Catholic primate of Hungary and the archbishop of Zagreb. Yugoslav ia, for "treason," put the primate of Czechoslovakia under virtual house arrest, and arrested more than 1,000 Catholic priests. Follows Sot Potiorn The communist campaign against the Catholic church seems to follow a set pattern. First the government seeks to break the church's economic power by land seizures and con fiscatory taxes. Next it arrests or otherwise removes the most hostile members of the hier archy. Finally it tries to break the church's ties wilh the Vati can by enlisting priests in government-sponsored "a s s o c i a tions." The process is almost complete in Yugoslavia. The communists now control 2, 453,004 of Europe's 3.760.107 square miles and 2Kn.17R.488 of its 547,730.000 inhabitants. That includes the European part of the Soviet union. Outside the communist coun tries, the church is more than holding its own. World War 11 brought Increased religious free dom to western Germany and Austria and sent many laggards back to church in the allied countries. Japanese Thriving On American Die! Survey Indicates Tokyo (U.R) The buck-toothed, near-sighted, bow-legged Japa nese who was the delight of war time American cartoonists may become a thing of the past, in about 30 or 40 years. A second post-war health ex aminer of some 16.000,000 school children shows that the Japanese are growing taller, see ing farther and smiling straight en A more balanced diet made possible in part by American re lief supplies and American ideas on dietetics has brought visible improvements to children whose growth suffered from war-time food shortages. While they are not tall by American standards, Japanese children are gaining stature. First grade primary students and second grade high school stu dents averaged half an inch over last year's classes and are one to two pounds heavier. One of the things that kept the Japanese short was the na tional aversion to milk. - Japa nese writers of 100 years ago complained of the bad odor of "milk-eating barbarians." By 1939 Japanese children were taller than they'd ever been, but the war reversed the trend and the average height of primary and middle school chil dren dropped to the 1906 level. Today they're back to where they were in 1924. Handling of Hot Dogs Brought 'Up to Data' Danville. Va. (U.Rl The hot dog has gone modern.

April was slightly cooler than usual and rainfall was "markedly deficient," the Med- iford weather bureau at the air port reported today. . Robert Church, official in charge of the bureau here, said the combina tion of cool, dry weather aided agriculture, especially for late plowing and the seeding of al falfa and small grasses. Cool temperatures retarded the growth of grass on pastures and ranges, Church said, but I stock came through in good shape.

Wives Come 'High' In Nairobi These Days; Age Decider London (U.R) If you want to buy a wife you can get one in the native villages around Nair obi in Kenya. Africa, for any where from 85 to 150 goats. May be a cow or two would have to be thrown in for good measure. The price depends on the age, pedigree and condition of ihe wife. The present price scale is the highest in the wife-selling his tory of Kenya. Even 20 years ago, you could get a very good wife for only 30 goats paid to her family. Inflation is blamed for the boom prices. They are so high that many husbands buy their mates on the installment plan. Installment buying hasn't worked out too well, though, a tribal chief told Bernard Wick steed of the London Daily Ex press. Plenty Available The chief said wives bought for so many goats a year don't Tricky Cash Register Foils Chicago Holdup Chicago (U.R) What three bandits didn't know about cash registers made Harry Block, 52, a happy man. Block and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Evelyn Pillar, 40, stood hopefully silent while one of the bandits thumped a key on the register in Block's store. The register failed to open and the bandits left empty-handed. Block explained that the reg ister opens only when two or more keys are pressed. ' work as hard as those bought for a complete goat herd on the spot. If the husbands fall be hind in their payments of goats the wives go back to mother. Plenty of prospective wives are available. "I've got 17," the chief said, "and I know where I can get as many more as I want. The real trouble is they've inflated and Koine steadily higher in upward spirals." How about a ceiling price for wives? Too Many Interests "Oh, no!" said the chief. "We couldn't do that. There are too many vested interests. Every man with an unmarried daugh ter would cry out that he was being robbed. . . . "There's only one thing for it. and that is to devalue wives as Britain has done with the pound." 1 COMMUTE TO PORTLAND or SEATTLE VIA UNITED! Leave . 6:00 am Ar. Eugene ... 6:55 am Ar.

To ignore cdem is to inrite the whirlwind bearing complete destruction to cherished ideas and ideals. The supreme undertaking is to harness these forces for man's uplift, and there are few men in the United States as well equipped for this job as Wayne Morse. Oregon Republicans should renominate Morse, with PRIDE as well as purpose." L C SAMMONS, Prominent Portland Banker emd Gfvfc Leader "Senator Morse has demonstrated a dynamic leadership based upon t deep and realistic anderstanding of today's problems. He is neither mired down in the mistakes of the past nor a victim of the delusion that we, must abandon our democratic for a socialistic form of government. And, importantly, he has the moral and political i tnat is oesoerateiy needed m Congress today. hW, HITCHCOCK, Oregon Stat Scncrter "Senator Warne Morse m one who understands the obligation of a Christian nation I afl me peoples of the world.

DEWEY "I want you, my good friends of Oregon, to know that I am deeply grateful for the fine job of campaigning Wayne Morse has been doing for the National ticket all over the country. He is a great friend and a mighty fine Senator." HAROLD E. STASSEN '"Wayne Morse is an exceptionally able, courageous, forward looking Republican Senator. His loyal campaigning for Republican candidates has been very effective and very helpful." SEN. ARTHUR H. VANDENBERG "I want to thank you for your relentless and consistent support for what I believe to be a sound foreign policy for our country. You have been a tower of strength in defense of indispensable cooperation with our anti-Communist allies and for the collective security which not only protects us but also sustains the hopes of free men for a free world.' SEN. MARGARET CHASE SMITH 'Many Republican and independent voters in America give great heed to the Republicanism of Wayne Morse. The Republican Party is fortunate to have such a dynamic, forthright Republican spokesman representing it in the Senate of the United States." SEN. HENRY CABOT LODGE, JR. "I feel that Senator Morse's public career typifies the spirit of reform, liberalism, idealism and regard for human rights which gave birth to the Republican Party and which is vital to Republican success in the future." SEN. EDWARD J. THYE "As a member of the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee, I can assure the farmers of America that Wayne Morse is a Republican leader who thoroughly understands the relationship between stability in our agricultural economy and a sound national economy. His work in the Senate is a source of strength to the Republican Party." and similar statements acclaiming his leadership and ability from Rep. Joseph W. Martin, Jr; J y" Sen. George D.
