600 Chapels Await- Special Easter Services For U.S. Armed Forces
More than one million men in uniform will attend special services being planned for all army units on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, April 3 and 5, the office of the Chief of Chaplains reported today to the War Department.
Although this Easter finds 604 new chapels completed at the various camps and posts, many units are planning special sunrise services in the open as well as formal devotions in the chapels. All soldiers who wish to attend Easter observances will be excused from duty from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. on Friday, and on Easter morning.
day, and on Easter morning, provided that no serious interference with training or troop movements would result.
In stressing the importance of the chaplains' duties during the Easter season, the chief 6 chaplains, William R. Arnold, as sent an Easter letter to all the uniformed clergymen serving with the army in camps, posts, stations, hospitals and training centers here and abroad.
In addition to the sunrise services planned for some units, there will be Protestant devotions and Catholic masses, both in chapels and in the open. This year, Chaplain Arnold pointed out, will find Army Easter devotions beginning just west of the international dateline and following the sun around the globe.
Civilian churches in areas where the army units have no chapels have invited soldiers to their Easter services, and many civilian clergymen have invited army chaplains to join them in officiating at these services. The Chief of Chaplains has also invited friends and relatives of soldiers to attend the army devotions.
Elaborate musical programs are being planned for services at many camps and posts. Each army chapel is equipped with an electric organ, and there is no lack of accomplished organisers in the ranks. In those areas where only outdoor services will be held, the chaplains
have trailers equipped with amplifiers and phonographs. At several of the larger army bases and reception centers there will be musical programs by massed bands and choral groups.
Chaplain Arnold has announced that more than 100 local radio stations throughout the country have arranged to broadcast Army Easter services.

Grid Scrimmage This Afternoon
This week's football game between teams chosen from the squad will be played this afternoon instead of on Friday, Coach Gwinn Henry announced today.
Practice yesterday was spent in running T formation plays and was climaxed with a scrimmage. Gene Roberts, back, sprained his ankle badly when he tried a line buck. He spent last night in the hospital.
Joe Roberts and Bill Palmer looked good in running plays in the serimimage. Both men followed their interference well. Roberts showed up especially well in end runs and Palmer in plunging the line. Otto Schnellbacher spent the evening in making consistent gains by snatching passes from the air while playing nis end position.
Paul Turner, member of the basketball squad this winter is now out for spring football at end position. Kenny Thompson, back, has returned for practice after recovering from an ankle injury.

Because Ralph Miller, was ailing in the hospital with lobar pneumonia, he couldn't attend the dinner for the Kansas basketball squad given at the executive mansion by the Ratners, so Mrs. Ratner sent Ralph the centerpiece of flowers from the table.
