The money being spent by the
United States government is in

We have nearly IL billion dol

According to Senator Harry F.

more than 178 billion dollars to
spend in the IL months period
ending June 30th. Up to June
LIST it had spent just $65, 900. 000,-

japanese Sue for Return
OF GI Theater in Toyko
BY the Assoeioted Press

TOKYO, May 16.-The Jap
anese owners of the plush Ernie
Pyle motion picture theater in
downtown Tokyo requisitioned
for the exclusive use of American
military personnel, today sued
Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida
in an attempt to get the theater
back.
The Toho Motion Picture Co.,
owner of the huge theater,
charged the United States secur-
ity forces are illegally retaining
possession under terms of the
pact signed by the United States
and the Yoshida government.
The theater was taken by
American occupation forces after
the war. They named it the Ernie
Pyle in honor of the famed war
correspondent who was killed on
Hiroshima in 1945.
Ironically, if Pyle were alive
today, he could not attend the
magniflciently- ly-appointed theater
named for him: Attendance is
restricted to members of the Sc
curlty force, U. N. troops and
their guests.
Correspondents as we'll as Jap
aneses and civilians of other ma
tions not employed by the United

The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

A growing teamwork is de-
veloping between religion and
psychiatry to guard Americas
mental health.
AS a Protestant minister put
it last week in Los Angeles, the
"old mistrust between religion
and psychiatry" is being broken
down.
The clergyman was the Rev.
Ernest E. Bruder. Protestant
chaplain at st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital, Washington. The Rev.
Bruder spoke to 5000 members
of the American Psychiatric
Association at its annual meet
ing.
More and more clergymen,
the minister said, are receiving
specialized training in minister
ing to the mentally i'll. This
kind of training was instituted
in American mental hospitals
only eight years ago. But, Mr..
Bruder said. it already has been
found that clergymen trained
through such f1rst-hand contact
with the mentally i'll are able
to give the community a much
needed awareness of the prob
lens of psychiatry as we'll as of
what the Church can do to help.

Typical of these training ses-

warning that clergymen are not
psychiatrists and should not try
to infringe upon the role OF the
medical specialist.
The Rev. James H. Van der
Veldt, O.F.M., professor of psy-
chology at Catholic University OF
America in Washington, said the
clergy should not try to treat
mental illness but should help
the doctor by creating a stable
attitude on the part of the pa
tient.
Feelings of guilt and problems
of conscience are for the re-
ligious adviser, said Father Van

The interest of the Roman

was made clear at the annual
session of the Guild of Catholic

Several speakers at the meet

Catholic Church is not opposed
to psychiatry but to those psy-
chiatrists who regard man as
"a lump of matter" without a
soul.
James Francis Cardinal Nc
Intyre. archbishop of Los
Angeles, assured the guild men,

highest regard" for psychiatry.
Cardinal Mcintyre said what
he objected to was the tendency

A s THE WEST pondered the
IA latest Russian moves, Soviet
citizens also were handed some
thing new and different. Pravda,
the newspaper which speaks for
the government, announced in
effect that there would be no more

Pravda said that when individ-

anything, as If only they can say
anything sensible and ineligible
and there only remains to the lot
Of others to support their opinion"
That was, Of course, an excellent
description Of the regime Of the
"infallible" Stain, but Pravda did
not bother to remind its readers Of
the days when it fawned slavishly
on the Great Leader, Teacher and
Genius.
It was doubtful that this new
pronouncement signaled any great
changes in the Russian govern
ment. It boiled down to a restate-

Review Of The Week: President Sounds Peace Note

IF THE COMMUNISTS were sin
i cere about their desire for world
peace, they had a strange way Of
showing 1t.
In Korea, the freedom road"
down which ailing prisoners Of
war were being brought for ex-
change at Panmunjom was jammed
with vehicles. Most of them were
loaded not with the casualties of
past battles but the Sinews of fu-
ture ones. American watchdog"
planes, flying a protective curtain
over the road, were shot at as they
came down to inspect conveys on
the rutted, crowded highway.

dent Eisenhower gave the Com
munists an opportunity to show
that peace was more than just a

BRITAIN

Britain's proposed budget also
offered a reduction in the heartily
disliked purchase tax," a sliding
scale sales tax. Here are some
typical reductions: The tax on
cosmetics would come down from
100 per cent to IS per cent; the
auto purchase tax would be re-
duced from 662s per cent to so
per cent; household appliances
from 6625 to so per cent; and
1inoleum, kitchen gadgets and light
bulbs, from 1913 to Is per cent.

The question of how we'll the free
world would keep its guard up in
the face Of Soviet sweet talk would
be partially answered in a meet
ing, starting tomorrow, of the IA
powers of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. The early
arriving delegates indicated in
Paris last week that an attempt
would be made to evaluate Russian
intentions and determine what, If
any, changes should be made in
NATO strategy. They said their
job would be made easier by Presi-
dent Eisenhower's apparent reso-
luton to keep NATO strong while
waiting for the Russians to prove
their intentions honorable.
The conferees also would try to
put NATO planning on some sort
of longer-range basis. At present,
firm plans are made only for the
coming year.

reason for trying to get control of
the Lao economy.
A Fifth Column?
South of the Lao border, in
Northeastern Thailand, there are
somewhere between 10000 and
100000 Viet-Namese civilians con-
sidered friendly to Ho. Because
the administrative capital, Wen
tiane, is only few miles from the
Thai border, these Viet-Namese
could be a real menace to the Lao
government-as we'll as to Thai
land itself. II the matter ever came
to that.
The Lao apparently have little
in common with their Viet-Namese
neighbors, whom they regard as
practically Chinese. Not only are
the Viet-Namese overwhelmingly
in the majority in Indo- China as
a whole, they also are the most
energetic of Indo-C Chinese. While
most 1ndo-C Chinese are BuddhiSts,
the Lao and the Viet-Namese are
of different SectS. The Lao religion
partakes more of the contempla-
tive Indian form of Buddhism,
while the Viet-Namese are more
like the Confucianist and Taoist
Chinese in their views. The Ian
guages of the two countries, to
complicate matters, are hardly
more similar than French and
Polish-they are not even of the
same linguistic family.
While the United States has, up
to now, contributed little aid to
Laos, we have been picking up
roughly one-third of the check for
the $1-billion-a-year Indo-C Chinese
war. How the tides of war turn,
and how rapidly, undoubtedly will
determine to a great extent how
much American aid reaches Laos
and how effective it will be.

World Affairs
THE WHOLE FREI

THE WHOLE FREE world took
IL heart from President Eisen-
hower's proposals for peace, and
even behind the Iron Curtain the
address was praised with only the
fainteSt of damns.
In countries where open discus
sion of issues is permitted, party
lines were crossed to welcome the
speech as a master statement of
the free worlds position in the
cold war and a sound basis for
agreements that could lead to
peace.
American Democrats and Repub-
licans all were free with commen-
dations. So, as a matter of fact,
was the Senate'S lone Independent.
The American Federation of Labor
and the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations joined spokesmen for
business in appreciation of the
speech.
In Europe officials of virtually
every political stripe approved the
address. Newspapers were loud
with praise. There was feeling
of relief that the new administra-
tion would take calm and con-
Structive attitude. European fears
that American recklessnesS might
spoil the present chance for peace
were quieted.
For EosteFn View
In the Far East, reaction was
mixed. There was praise for what
the President said, but doubts over
what he left unsaid. The Ma
tionalist Chinese wanted 10 know
just where Formosa and Chiang's
plans for Q Homecoming At into
