May Day. The biggest day in
all the Russian year and the
entire Communist world. And
likewise for different reasons,
the big day in the American
Embassy, because here on May
Day we have to entertain the
entire friendly foreign popula-
ton of Moscow from Z am. to
S pm.
The reason for this is that
our location is the best from
which to watch the celebration.
A fantastic location, looking out
over the Kremlin walls, past the
towers, into the cobblestone sur
face of Red Square, f1anked on
the one hand by Lenin's tomb
and beyond by st. Basil's Ca
thedral. All this we can see
from our balcony windows.
Beginning at 7 am. all West.

scent upon the Embassy with
their children and nursemaids.

that each one has two or three

Oman Cites Stand
AGAINST Church Probe
By the Associated Press

Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman said yesterday Congress
has the right and duty" to make
Investigations to gain informa-
ton on which to base sound
legislation.
But the Bishop said he did
not mean to imply that Congress
should investigate any Red in
filtration in the Nations
churches.
Bishop Oman made the state
ment in commenting on an AS
sociated Press dispatch from
Cambridge, Mass, Sunday night
quoting him as saying Congress
had the right and duty" to in
vestigate churches.
The story also reported he
said in a sermon at Harvard
Chapel that if Communists are
found in churches. they should
be found guilty and punished" I"
Bishop Oman said he never
mentioned Communists in
churches in his sermon.
What I did say was that the
Communist Party is a conspiracy
and the conspiratorS should be
found out, tried in the American
courts. and if found guilty should
be punished, he said.
Bishop Oman said a reporter
came to him after the sermon
and said he had been unable
to hear clearly what the Bishop
had said.
He said the reporter asked
him several questions. and that
in reply to one of the questions
he told the newsman that as
far as he knew the Methodist
church had never been infll-
trated by Communists.

This afternoon I Verlf1ed a
general impression I have had
here. I rode the subway and took
down some data. Approximately
one-half of the passengerS-male
and female-were reading books.
About one in ten had a news
paper. From the cases I could
actually observe myself, I should
say that more than half the
books being read were non-fic-
.tion, and of the fiction the
greater part was classical.
Two conslusions: First, the
people are after learning
factual learning, mostly scientific
like hounds after a fox. Sec
sond, the re-establishment of the
classical Russian authors is all
part of the official build-up OF
national pride which you notice
in all spheres-historical. artis-
tic, musical, scientific, etc.
This afternoon I noticed peo-
pie reading:
"The Battle of Borodino," a
popular, paper-bound book on
Kutuzov's campaign against Ma
poleon, and a very patriotic piece,
indeed.

| Strong French Group
Led by Mayer 10 Fly
Here 10 Ask More Aid
By The A.,oeia,.d Pres.

PARIS, Mar. "a. Premier
Rene Mayer and a large French
delegation leave tonight for
Washington, seeking more United
States help and hoping to per-
suade America that France is
not the weak link in the West
ern defense chain that she is
sometimes painted.
Several American officials are
making the flight with the top
level French government figures.
They are due in Washington to-
morrow for talks with Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Secretary of
State Dulles and other top Amer
lean officials.
French Aims Listed.
Among 'other things. the
French want:
/. More help in Indo- China,
where they have fought a six
year wasting war with rebel
lious, Communist led jungle
guerrillas.
2. More aid in Europe, where
they have made up-and-down
hill progress toward regaining
their position of pre-War inn
portance.
3. An immediate advance of
$125 million to meet their 1858
military schedules.
4. A long-term program of aid
from America upon which the
European countries can base
their budgets. in place Of year.

Congress will do.
From Gen. Eisenhower'S first
foreign aid bill, France would
like in all about 81 billion. in
stead of the approximately two
thirds of a billion she has had
in one form or another during
the past year.
With the extra money, she
says she could increase her air
force Is per cent, strengthen her
army from five top quality divi-
sionS and seven secondary ones
to perhaps 10 or IL firSt-claSS
units. In addition, she could
step up the training of Wet
Namese soldiers to take over her
fight in Indo-China.
Distinguished Delegation.
That is the story to be given
Washington by one of the
strongest delegations France has
ever sent to the western hem
isphere. It includes:
Premier Rene Mayer-wealthy,
highly-educated lawyer and self
assured statesman.
Foreign Minister Georges BIZ
