Japanese Missionary Seeks Understanding of China War
Miss Hallie Williams a long time Episcopal missionary in Japan says Japanese avoid discussing their war aims and notes a national trait of imitation. She cites Japan's access to western powers, contrasts it with China, and urges Western readers to seek deeper context rather than erase Japan from history. Williams reports 4 million Japanese parades misrepresented by authorities and highlights education in Kyoto where Japanese girls in St Agnes school learn Christian ethics amid Buddhist backgrounds. She praises a Chinese student who teaches in China and explains daily prayer keeps tolerance alive as she travels in America with a Chinese missionary. Williams was introduced by Mrs. John B. Harding and royalty guests.

WPA road job near Broad Run draws transport woes
About 18 workers protested lack of transport to a WPA farm-to-market project near Broad Run. Four men shown at the site arrived by auto, while the rest sought legal aid from State's Attorney Sherman P. Bowers but learned he was in Carroll county. Workers said the mountain route was impassable, trips to Sunnyside and Frederick were long, and the best paid option offered was 14 a week for the group.
