Religious Rights Pact
With Spain Must GET
Pentagon S Approval
BY the Associated Press

The Air Force says a formal
agreement detailing the religious
rights of Americans stationed in
Spain must get Pentagon ap-
proval before it is signed.
This was announced last night
after Washington was advised
that the United States military
mission in Spain is working to-
ward an understanding with the
Spanish government which will
assureoall of our people here the
traditional American right to
worship according to the dictates
of their conscience"
Awaits Papers From Madrid.
Air Force headquarters said it
was awaiting receipt from Madrid
of unsigned drafts of military
agreements being negotiated
prior to the setting up of military
aid and American bases in Spain.
Mai. Gen. Charles I. Carpen-
ter, chief of Air Force chaplains
and a Methodist, was said in
published reports to have ap-
proved a religious marriage
agreement for Americans in
Spain. In response to inquiries.
Chaplain Carpenter said he
would have no comment until iSe
had seen the final draft of the
proposed agreement.
Preliminary negotiations on
the religious agreement were
handled by 1t. Col. Raymond M.
Stadta, a Roman Catholic chap
lain. Aides said Gen. Carpenter
had told Col. Stadta several
months ago that he seemed to
be working in the right direction
in the negotiations.
Gives Full Responsibility.
Maj. Gen. August w. Kissner,
chief Of the U. s. military mis-
sion in Spain. reported the
agreement would give American
military chaplains full RESPONSE
bility for the religious needs of
servicemen and their dependents.
He made no reference to the
regulation of marriages between
Catholics and non-Catholics.
Informed sources said that in
such cases Catholic rites would
be used and the non-Catholic
partner would have to agree that
any children would be baptized
and reared as Catholics.
The agreement would cover
American civilians, as well as
servicemen, under military juris-
diction in Spain.

Choice Is Atom Cloud
Or Star Of Bethlehem,
Pageant Crowd Told

Mankind may follow either the
Star of Bethlehem toward peace
or the cloud over Bikini toward
destruction, visitors to the Pag-
cant of Peace grounds were told
today by a Washington minister.
The Rev. Chester Jones, as
sociate minister at Calvary Bap-
tist Church, termed the star and
the H-bomb's cloud symbols un-
der which man lives today. He
said the star offers peace that
passes all understanding" and
the cloud would lead the world
Ito slaughter, destruction and
hopelessness beyond imagina-
ton"
Mr.. Jones said the message of
Christmas is one of hope for "a
new start and new life" But
a new start for individuals and
nations is not possible without
faith in God, he said.
Weather Changes Slightly.
The religious service opened
the days activities at the Ellipse
as the sunny mild weather which
helped to draw more than 100000
visitors in the last three days
gave way to cloudy, slightly
windy weather. A group from
the Calvary Church sanctuary
choir sang seasonal hymns dur
ing the service,
Visitors have come in increas-
ing numbers since the unsea-

The reports would have been
more serviceable to the cause
of good relations had they re-
fiected the spirit Of the Presi-
dents reply. BY his first an
swer. he was plainly saying
he didn't know what the pros
poets were. and this can read
lily be interpreted as meaning
he still has hope Of British
participation.
As for the answer to the Sec
ond question, Gen. Eisenhower
was really trying in a way to
point out that. even I If the
United Kingdom could not
come in, Australia and New
Zealand would be representa-
tive Of the interests of the
British Commonwealth of Ma
tions. There was here an evi-
dent desire to draw closer to
rather than away from Britain.
Certainly the President was
not closing the door.
Actually. the question asked
of the President as to going
along without the British might
better not have been answered,
because 1t was hypothetical and
the British government itself
has never said publicly any,
thing to give the. impression it
would never join the South
east Asia security pact. On the
contrary. it has said 1t hesi-
tates to join the project while
the Geneva Conference is in
session.
British diplomacy is steering
q cautious course at Geneva,
and there are many irritations
about it on the American side.
But a big headline about the
Presidents supposed willing
ness to 60 ahead without Great
Britain was hardly q construc-
tive addition to the cause of
good will here.

News Twist in European Press
Esenhowes Statements on British Role in Asian Alliance
Given Unfair Interpretation in London and Paris Popers
Dovid Lowrence

GENEVA. May 21.-Relations
between Great Britain and the
United States have been dim
cult enough in recent weeks,
so it is a matter Of chagrin
to note the incomplete report
ing which has put President
Eisenhower in the position Of
wanting to do something inn
portant in world policy with
out the cooperation Of the
London government.
The way some Of the dis
patches-which were printed
widely in France and Britain
read, the President had told
his press conference that
America was going ahead with
the Southeast Asia pact with
out Great Britain. There was
an implication also that Gen.
Eisenhower deliberately chose
to put out this very explosive
piece of information at this
time. Europeans, Of course.
naturally attach significance
to the motive of an American
President in issuing informa-
ton on the relations with an
important ally which makes
big headlines.
But what are the facts Of
the episode? The American
delegation to the Geneva Con-
ference gets a verbatim re-
port on what the President
says at his press conference.
The Presidents. own words
cannot be quoted in the first
person. but a paraphrase in
the third person is permitted.
Here is the exact way in which
the question arose and the way
1t was answered. and anybody
can see the context in which
the President replied to ques-
tionS:
A reporter for the Chicago
Tribune asked, Can you say
what you think the prospects
