Return 10 India

RANGOON, Burma, Dec. z tP1.
--Nikita S. Khrushchev and
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin
headed back to India today on
their South Asian tour. Before
they took OF, the Soviet and
Burmese premiers issued a Joint
demand for cession of Formosa
to Red China and a ban on nu-
clear weapons.
Burma's Premier U MI saw
his, Soviet visitors off at Min
galadon Airport after the seven
day visit in which the Russians
used every opportunity to lam
bast the West.
Signed in Palace
The joint communique by
Premiers Bulganin and U M,
bound in handsome red leather
covers. was signed with a cere-
throne room of Burma's presi-
dental palace. The views ex-
monial flourish in the ornate
pressed were the same both coun-
tries have been plugging for some
time. ~ a.
Besides the demand that
Formosa-now held by National
ist China-be handed over to
the Communist Peiping regime,
the two premiers also called for:
/. Settling Indo- China's po-
litical future in accordance With
last years Geneva = Conference
ending the Indo -Chifsa war. The
armistice terms can for elections
next July to- unity pro-Western

which they said cause fear and
distrust among nations.
4 Attack on Churchill
Before the communique was
issued, Mr.. Khrushehev added a
chapter to the bristling attack
he has made on the West. par
ticularly Britain, during the
Kremlin leaders swing across
India and Burma. Speaking ct
a political rally here. he took
swipe at Britain's former Prime
Minister winston Churchill.
Mr.. Khrushchev referred to the
notorious directive" he said Sir
Winston issued to Field Marshal
Montgomery near the end of
World War II to stack captured
German arms for reissue to Ger
man prisoners against any con-
tinuing Russian advance into
Western Europe.
Sir Winston disclosed the order
in a speech last year. He said
he could see no advantage in
freeing Europe from one kind of
totalitarianism '"if we allowed SO
much of Europe to fall into the
grip of another totalitarian re-
gime from the East"
Sir Winston already has paid
his respects to the Khrushchev-
Bulganin anti-Western speeches.
Addressing a political rally Mon
day, he said Britain should ser
iously consider" canceling pro-
jected visit in April by the two
Russians.
On their return to India, the
Russian leaders will find ready
listeners for more anti-Western
outbursts as result of the joint
communique in Washington last
week by Secretary OF State Dulles
and visiting Portuguese Foreign
Minister Paulo Cunha.

Red Strength Slips
1922 IN Britain

LoNDON-(NC)-Membership of
the Communist Party has fallen by
nearly ten per cent in the past
year in Britain. il was reported
here.
No official figures for the party
are available but communists them
selves usually claim member
ship of between 10000 and 10000.
Of these about 5000 belong to
the Young Communist League.
The Daily Telegraph, right wing
national newspaper. reported that
the slump in communist support
was revealed at the executive com
mittee's annual check up and that
an intensive drive is shortly to be
started for 'ecruits.
The slumt has also spread to
the Young Communist League some
20 per cent of whose members

whether the recent accent on anti

Union indicates a genuine relig-

draw the following conclusion:
If a propaganda campaign is
suddenly intensified or changed, a
safe assumption is that the former
campaign proved a failure. And
the Russian officials will admit
that it has failed.
The fact is that young people
we're still being married in church,
baptized and educated in the faith.
They we're even becoming adept
in answering the ridicule heaped
on religion. When one atheistic
lecturer ridicuIed belief in God,
because, as he put it, the world
was functioning so smoothly it did
not need a God, he got this reply
from his listeners:
''That just shows how stupid you
are and how smart God is. God is
so intelligent that He can make a
world which can run by itself"
Communist officialdom took
note of this and told the atheistiC
agitators: Look what you have

Singing Priest

LONDON - (NC) - A quiet,
hard-working priest in the lonely
Scottish Highlands has received

ported here.

been reproduced in the last ten
years alone on over million rec
ords. Long hailed as a second John
Mccormack, he abandoned prom
ising singing career years ago to
enter seminary.
II was also reported that Father
MacEwan has been invited by the
| National Arts Foundation of Amer
/ ica - which appointed him the
first British member of its Music
Committee - to make tour Of
the States in the autumn.
He made his first successful
American tour last year, giving l.
recitals and four television per
| formances. AS result his records
first released in the us. in Jan
uary, are reported to have had Z
big sale.
The money he makes from con
cert tours and from the increasing
sales Of his records goes toward re
building his church at Lochgilp
head and toward the completion o.
st. Columba's Cathedral at Oban
