...question that has worried mission-minded churchmen since Pearl Harbor was partially answered last week. Had the roots of Christianity been planted deep enough in Japan to withstand the erosion of war?

Then the Navy yielded to press complaints, sent censors along with its forward units. Finally, at Palau, news was filed directly from an admiral's flagship as soon as radio silence could be broken.
