Rival Tibefan Lamas
ReconciIed, Reds Say
BY The Assoeio,ed Pres,

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 15.-
The Chinese Reds reported today
the Panchen Lama was return
ing" to Tibet at the invitation OF
the Dalai Lama, and claimed for
communism the credit for having
settled" the traditional rivalry OF
these two for rulerShip of that
Ipriest-run land.
The present Panchen Lama is
la 14-year-old boy who never has
been in Tibet in his life. He was
chosen II years ago as the tenth
Ireincarnation of the Panchen
Lama. His predecessor had fled
Tibet in 1924 and established him
self at Kumbun Monastery in
China's TSinghai Province.
1t was from there that the
Peiping radio said the boy lama
was leaving today for Lhasa, the
Tibetan capital, more than 800
mountainous miles distant.
The Dalai Lama. himself only
IT years old, fed Lhasa before a
threatened Red invasion, but last
May made a deal to let the Reds
take over provided his own status
and power remained unchanged.
At the same time, he agreed to
establish the Panchen Lama in
Tibet.
Observers have questioned how
this will work out. but today's
Peiping broadcast said "the prob
lem of Tibet. which could not be
settled for many years. has now
been settled" thanks to Mao TIE
Itung.

And the older ones have just as
much Christmas spirit as they
ever did"
Mrs. Douglas finds that in q
world of tension and uncertainty
today's children have a very
marked willingness to share.

the maximum buildup in the time
already set. Thus, instead of try
ing for a force of 90-odd divisions
by 1854, the Western European
nations may do the job by 1855
or later.
Another way out of this whole
difficulty of providing Western
security without wrecking the
Western economies could theoreti-
cally have been furnished by a
great increase in United States
aid. economic and military, to its
allies.
There is understood to be a
division of opinion in the gov
ernment at the moment, in fact,
about whether the aid program
should be greater next year than
now. But the decisions on this
will not be made until Mr.. Harri-
man gets back here and would
not in any case provide enough
funds to solve all of Europe's S
defense-born economic difficulties.
However. the Atlantic Council
Committees report was described
by authorities here as being on
the whole more optimistic about
the ability of the Western powers
to re-arm in the long run than
some officials had expected 1t
would be. Many of them believe
that the reasons and suggested
solutions of the report, its
emphasis on the theme that the
defense job can and will be done,
should help restore confidence and
overcome some of the waning of
enthusiasm caused by such things
as French initiation and Britains S
financial deficit.
