CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE OF ASIA AND WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES OPEN

Division has purchased supplies, especially medicine, for the Asian
S
Christian e r v i c e ' s w o r k in Indochina. Due to the changed situation,

was to study the material resources in Asia. As a result of the
study, Mr. Reuschle was asked to come to Hong Kong for an initial

family arrived in Hong Kong in early May. His office will be located
in the Hong Kong Christian Service Center, 33 Granville Road, Kowloon.
