personnel abroad, for warehous-
ing and for refugee shelter, par
ticularly in Berlin.
In discussing the new agree
ment, a department spokesman
struck a cold war propaganda
note by saying that the sudden
cutback in Soviet purchases, in
spite of a long-term trade COM
mitment. illustrated clearly the
risks involved in depending on
the USSR as a market.
For several years the Soviet
Union has been purchasing al
most all of Finland's production
of prefabricated housing. 1t
bought 100000 square meters of
prefabricated buildings last year
and 100000 in 1852 and 1858.
Recently, however, it informed
the Firms that it would buy only
100000 square meters in 1855.
A department official said that
the Firms thus had lost two
thirds of their Soviet market
this year and that the indica-
tons were that purchases will
be drastically curtailed in the
years ahead.

Formosa News
Charged

TA1PEI, Formosa, May Z (P.-
Ten foreign correspondents yes
terday protested that "a condi-
ton of effective de facto censor
ship now exists" in Formosa.
They objected to the attitudes of
both Nationalist and United
States officials toward news.
The correspondents made one
complaint in a letter to WI Nam
ju. director Of the Nationalist
government information bureau.
They said the censorship is not
characterized by the deletion or
failure to clear news stories. but
"by the withholding of virtually
all information no matter
whether it is of a nature which
would generate abroad clearer
understanding of the govern
ment and its cause"
This condition has grown
progressively worse during re-
cent days" the letter said. 1.-The
attitude with which we are met
is one of polite but nonetheless
firm resistance to legitimate re-
quests for news or background
information.
Communication between the
government and the foreign
press has in practical effect be-
come limited to the issuing of
occasional communicates which
are both too brief and too vague
to be of meaningful service"
Copies of the letter were sent
to President Chang Kai-shek,
Foreign Minister George Yeh
and Defense Minister Yu Ia
wei.
The same correspondents also

mitted to the United States
without f1ngerprints, but that
this was an oversight.
The embassy said that if the
Soviet farmers would go as an
official group the United States
would waive its normal visa reg
ulations. It added that the Rus
slams in the group mad not yet
made formal application for
visas, and it was not known how
many were going.
The idea of receiving a Soviet
farm delegation to see how Iowa
produces corn and hogs was
first preached in an editorial OF
the Des Moines Register after
Nikita Khrushchev, first secre-
tary of the Communist Party,
had demanded that Soviet farm
ers grow more corn and hogs.
The Soviet government then
formally proposed an exchange
of agricultural delegations with
the United States. President
Eisenhower has said he well
coined the idea.

Police arrested at least 40 persons

One policeman was injured

crowd that blocked traffic in the

The huge assembly shouted
"Our Lives for Jesus" and "Ar-

the national anthem and Cath
olic hymns. Those outside
listened to the religious service
through loudspeakers.
The demonstration came as
the Argentine Congress studied
measures aimed at separating
church and state. Under the
constitution as it now stands,
Roman Catholicism is the official
state religion.
Gen. Peron has been waging

since November when he accused
some members of the clergy of

Gregorian Calendar
Unified Our Time
Back In 1882

Our present calendar - the
Gregorian was the first CAL
endar to achieve any semblance
of world unity on the time front.
The coming of this calendar,
instituted by Pope Gregory in
1882 laid the groundwork for
universal celebration of New
Years day.
Europe, which for centuries
had celebrated March Is as the
first day of the year, was the
first to adopt-the Gregorian cal
endar. But it was not complete
adoption until 1852 when Great
Britain Joined the other Europ-
can countries recognizing jan
uary ! as the first day of the
year and instituting use of the
Gregorian' calendar.
Of course, the date of January
| is not celebrated by everyone.
The Jews observe a Today New
Year season at the time of the
autumn equinox. The Moslem
calendar, which dates to 62e
AID. has II months that begin
with the approximate new moor
