The Week ir Religion
BY Religious News Service

American church mission ex-
ecutives are keeping a watchful
eye on developments in India
and Southeast Asia.
While Australian Protestant
leaders are calling for more mis-
sions to the people Of Southeast
Asia, evidence of an anti-foreign
mission trend continues to
mount IN India.
The Australian churchmen
base their appeal on the fact
that Australia, because OF its
nearness, has an obligation to
the millions of ASians who are
"illiterate, living below the SUBJ
sistence level and without
knowledge of the Gospel"
Urge Evangelism Plan.
They asked AuStraIian n
churches to support Spiritual
Colombo Plan" to evangelize
Southeast Asia and strengthen
churches already established
there.
Signers of the appeal we1e
the heads of the Anglican, Meth
odiSt, Baptist, Lutheran and
Congregational Churches and
the Churches of Christ,
Declaring that tomorrow may
be too late" they said:
ITO us is given the opportunity
of opening areas hitherto un-
evangelical and also of strength
ening the indigenous church and
its leadership.
I'VE call on members CT our
respective churches to support
whatever moves may be neces-
sary to extend the missionary
enterprise in Southeast Asia"
The Colombo Plan is a pro-
gram of economic and technical
aid furnished largely by British
Commonwealth nations, includ-
ing Australia, to countries in
Southeast Asia.
Criticism Rises in India.
Meanwhile in India, foreign
missionaries have become the
object of some criticism, partly
from Communists but also from
non-Communist sources.
In the Indian Parliament last
week, Communist members again
charged foreign missionaries

with carrying on anti-1ndian
propaganda.
Last April, similar complaints
were directed in Parliament at
unnamed American missionaries.
This time the Communist MP S
attacked two Italian mission
aries operating in the Fort
Cochin area on the east coast
of India.
They were accused Of having
written articles prejudicial to
the Indian case for elimination
of foreign control over small
parts of the Indian sub-conti-
nent, such as the port Of Goa.
which still is under Portuguese
rule.
Christian M.P.s urged that no
action be taken against the mis-
sionaries until the Communist
charges had been investigated
fully and warned against witch
hunting" in complaints against
missionaries.
Pledges Justice.
Home Minister Kailash Nath
Katju promised there would be
no witch-hunting and that JUS
tice would be administered to
Everybody, missionaries in
cluded."
Recently, the Indian Tribal
Peoples Service Association, an
influential body headed by DR..
Rajendra Prasad, 1ndia's presi-
dent, named a five-man commit
tee to acquaint the home min
lister with "the proselytizing acti-
vities of some foreign missions
among the tribes Of India"
Anti-missionary moves among
non- Communists appear to be
an outgrowth of the rise Of ma
tionalism in the young nation
and an unwarranted extension
of a policy set down by the gov
ernment itself.
Last April, the home minister,
answering interpretations in Par
lament. said it was the govern
ment's policy to limit evangelical
work to natives.
Nevertheless, the government
has not moved to halt the en-
trance of foreign missionaries.
And most Christian churches,
while taking exception to linn
itations on evangelism by for
eigners, are sympathetic to the
Evening star., 1953-09-13

view that the churches should
be "1ndianiZed."
Both Protestant and Catholic
groups have been turning over
more and more important church
posts to natives.
Last week the formation Of
an All-India Federation of Ma
tional Churches was reported
from Bombay.
Its leaders said their aim was
to make all churches in India
independent of foreign control
Foreigners, they argued, should
have no say in administration
of the churches in India.

Kennedy Favors Own Bill
On Subsidies 10 AirIines

Senator Kennedy, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, believes his bill to
separate subsidies from mail
payments to airlines would do a
better job than a reorganization
plan submitted to Congress Mon
day by President Eisenhower.
At present the Post Office De-
partment makes airmail pay
ments which include both rea-
Sonable compensation and sub
sides. Under the Presidents
plan the Post ONCE would make
straight payments and the Civil
Aeronautics Board would dis
burse the subsidies. Gen. Eisen-
hover said this will clearly fix
the fiscal responsibility for the
subsidy program in the appro-
pirate agency"
Senator Kennedy said the
Presidents proposal although
a step froward, operates in. a
limited field and legislation itself
is required to accomplish this
long-overdue reform" Senator
Kennedy and % other Senators
on both sides of the aisle have
introduced a bill which would
provide a more adequate study
of actual mail-carIying costs and
provide tighter congressional
control over amounts paid to the
airlineS.

The bidding:

lclub spade 2 hearts spades
3hearts Pass 4clubs Pass
4dm'dS Pass 5 5d'm'ds S spades
Pass Pass 6 6heartS All Pass
The answer was that Mr..
Dale's pass after Mr.. Muzzy's
five spade bid was absolutely
forcing on Mr.. Masters. Mr.. Mas
terS could not pass. but was ex-
pected either to double or to go
in his sides agreed suit, hearts.
Here Is how you recognize a
forcing pass. Your side has been
bidding vigorously and it is clear
to both partners they hold sub
stantially more in high cards
than the opposition. In other
words they are surely heading
for a good-sized profit.
AS the auction progresses, an
opponent puts in a bid which
can be recognized as an attempt
ed sacrifice. What to do?
If you feel certain you have
the right answer, go ahead and
double or bid further in your
agreed suit, as the makeup of
your hand warrants. If you are
in doubt, however, there is no
need to guess. Simply pass and
leave it up to your partner.
1t would be absurd for part
ner to pass in this situation. He
knows his side has control of
the hand. If he feels it would
be dangerous to bid further he
must double regardless of his
holding in the opponents bid
suit.
In today's hand Mr.. Dale
knew five spades could be de-
feated several tricks. But
double by him at this point
would have been something of a
warning to Mr.. Masters that he
considered a heart slam unlikely.
He passed and Mr.. Masters de-
cision was to go on to six hearts.
Mr.. Muzzy led the ace of spades
and continued with the queen.
Mr.. Masters ruffed the second
spade and caShed all of his re-
manning trumps, discarding a
spade from dummy on the last
trump. At this point Mr.. Muzzy
was squeezed. He had to get
down to seven cards and that
meant he couldn't protect both
minor suits. On the last trump
he dropped a diamond and Mr..
Masters then made four diamond
tricks which, with five hearts
and three clubs. made the con-
tract.
