Nipponese Are Now Regarded as More Receptive to Religious Revival From Abroad.

By SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE Seripps-Howard Staff Writer TOKYO, April 4—Although Japan is regarded as currently receptive to Christianity, and it is even reported on good authority the members of the emperor's household are receiving instruction in the religion,

Missourian Now Owns Resort Town

ROLLA, Mo, April 4 (U, P.), —Rowe Carney became the sole owner of the sleepy little town of Arlington, Mo., today. In his new role, he promised to give the once-popular resort spot some of the better things of life—including modern plumbing. Mr. Carney is a Rolla hotel and theater chain operator. His acquisition of Arlington for $10,000 occurred at an auction sale. Fred Pillman, 75, previous owner, said he was tired and wanted to get out. Arlington is in good fishing country on the Little Piney river in the Missouri Ozarks. On the 120-acre townsite there are a 14-

AVERAGE GIRL'S ‘WEIGHT IS 127

That's in WesternU. S.

By Science Service BERKELEY, Cal, April 4, — In the western United States the average young woman is five feet, three-and-one-quarter - inches tall and weighs 127 pounds, while the average man in the general population is five feet, eight-and-three-quarters inches in height and tips the beam at 153%. These are the latest averages gathered in a measurement survey by Dr. Theodore D. McCown, University of California anthropologist for the Committee on Prosthetic Devices of the National Research council. The study was made to obtain average arm and leg measurements, and the standard statistics obtained will be used in the improvement of artificial limbs. The 1000 young women were college students and WAVES, while the 1800 men represent a cross section of the population ranging

STRIKES ABSENT { IN AILING FRANCE |

Leftist Parties in Control

Fear Possible Result. ‘By HELEN KIRKPATRICK

Times Foreign Correspondent PARIS, April 4—France has had only one major strike since the war's end, largely because of Come. munist influence in the government and trade unions. The most frequent query of American visitors here is “why ars there {no strikes?" —especially as workers’ | wages are indisputably far lower [than living costs. There are three reasons for this [situation : | =The G.C.W, (General Confed- | eration of Workers) officiilly op(poses strikes and the Communist party, with its ministers in the govs ernment, is against them, —Workers know that strikes for higher wages would not improve matters. Higher wages would only add to the inflationary spiral, al{ready so marked. —There is sufficiently high unem(ployment to deprive workers of a

Wages Are Very Low | The average worker's wage in France today is 5000 francs monthly | ($42). Unless a man operates on the black market, selling and buying, this isn’t a living wage. Bus workers know that higher wages
