Communist leaders, and ir
August the Education Ministry
issued an order which tht
church had interpreted as ar
attempt to reassert state con-
troll over religious instruction.
r. Requires Registration
The order requires parish
priests to register catechisn
points with the Ministry Of
Education by October 81. II
envisages state inspection con-
troll over classroom hygieniC
conditions and the clerical
teaching personnel, who are to
be paid as employees of the
state.
On August rs. Carolina
Wyszynski denounced the order
as further violation Of the
church-state agreement ano
accused the state of "infring-
ing on the jurisdiction Of the
episcopate."
The primate and the episco-
pate then met and drafted a
pastoral letter to Polish Cath
olics and an instruction tc
parish priests.
The priests were ordered to
defy the new regulation and
refuse to register with the au-
thorities. The letter also
warned priests that they should
be prepared to make extreme
sacrifices" to teach Poland s
youth.
The church's display Of mil
liant protests appears to have
had some effect. Church lead
ers say Communist officials
have assured them that the
October 81 deadline for COM
pliance with the Ministry of
Education order will not be
enforced.
EXPERIENCED observers here
agree that the Communist re-
gime is not likely to seek a
showdown with the church be-
cause the danger to the rela-
tive stability achieved among
the mercurial Poles since the
1856 accord would be meal
culable.

The Polish Communist Par

remarks after the latest public

Church appeared to have left

classes free of state controls
and interferences.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-One
Of the most striking features Of
the international scene is the dra-
matte improvement which has
taken place in relations between
the United States and India.
This improvement is due funda-
mentally to two facts:
. /. The long-range target Of
Communist thrusts toward the
Mekong River valley is not Laos,
nor even Southeast Asia as such,
but India. These thrustS follow
Chinese pressure on India's north
ern frontier, and are intimately
connected Herewith.
The Communist octopus has
sent out two long arms, each
pointed eventually at New Delhi.
2. The United StateS-at long
last, Indians would SAYS build
ing its policy of resistance to
communism not on the creation
Of American client states but on
support for genuine neutralism.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
publicly praised that policy shift
last week.
The visit of Secretary Of State
Rusk to New Delhi on Thursday,
following the SEATO ministerial
council, was symbolic OF the In
dian-American rapprochement.
Already, the new relationship
Evening star., 1961-04-02
Better Relations
For u. S. and India

has paid off in very important
ways.
Menon Visits Khrushehev
On Monday, three days after
publication of the British -Ameri-
can plan for a cease fire and
negotiation in Laos, the Indian
ambassador to Moscow, K. P. S.
Menon, spent more than an hour
with Premier Khrushchev.
The previous Friday, acting at
President Kennedy's request, Mr..
Nehru made clear in direct mes
sage to the Soviet dictator that
he hoped the British-American
plan would be accepted.
The arguments that Mr.. Nehru
and Mr.. Menon used cannot, of
course, be disclosed in detail. But
it can be revealed that the gist of
Indian diplomacy was clear
warning against Communist mill
tary incursion into the Mekong
Valley.
Just as, in 1850, India conveyed
to the West a warning that a
crossing Of the 38th parallel in
Korea would mean Chinese Com
munist intervention, so in 1861,
India conveyed to Mr.. Khrushchev
a notice that seizure of the Mekong
would mean SEATO intervention
in Laos.
1t is too early to say that the
tide has definitely turned. But
prospects have improved strikingly.
1t is entirely possible that Laos
has been saved from becoming an
other Korea.
Not long ago, India also stepped
into the Congo at very critical
point and rescued the U. N. posi-
ton. At just the time when Russia
was calling on the U. N. to aban-
don the Congo within 80 days, and
several countries were pulling out
their manpower, Nehru offered
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold 4,800 invaluable new troops.
Without them, the U. N. force
might have collapsed.
This step was in large part a
result of several weeks of pri-
vate 1ndian-American consulta-
tionS, leading to a joint policy
approach to the Congo. The new
approach was embodied in Sc
curity Council resolution passed
February 81. The resolution nomi-
nally was sponsored by others, but
in fact it was largely the work OF
Washington and New Delhi.
This is not to say that there are
. no differences remaining between
the two countries. India is not
ready to put pressure on the So
Wet Union to pay its share of the
Congo expenses. There is a po-
tentially serious difference over
Raieshwar Dayal, the controver-
sial Indian who is Mr.. Hammar-
skjold's personal representative in
the Congo. There is an important
difference of approach to dis
armament.
However, by contrast with the

ing-in and a code number were
duly registered in a long ledger.
When enough material had been
collected. or simply when the
spirit moved her, the woman
would disappear through a
green-curtained door in the back
wall.
That was the inner den of the
censor no outside eye ever saw.
The woman returned empty
handed, or with other material
already censored.
At that point the mental tor
ture began. Like all reporters, a
foreign correspondents life is
geared to the "deadline fl
nal time he must file his story
with his office back home. But
the censor never underStood-or
perhaps, he understood too well.
Stomp Wos Attached
The waiting correspondent
found himself studying the second
hand as it moved remorselessly
around the large electric clock
over the central telephone switch
board. Periodically he might bang
on the counter, and plead with or
swear at the stole women sitting
there. But their answer was al
ways the same:
when your copy is ready will
announce it over the loudspeaker." 3"
When the story did return Zone
copy was kept to check against
publications., it bore a little blue
stamp of approval-a broken ar
row shot like a lightning bolt
through a circle. Words, phrases,
sentences and sometimes whole
paragraphs had often haphazardly
disappeared beneath the censor's
heavy pencil or typewriter.
Next the drama moved down the
long counter to the telephone

least one member Of Congress at
the White House; has met with
his six top legislative leaders for
breakfast regularly on Tuesdays
and has occasional coffee klatcheS
with so or go Representatives and
Senators.
But as Mr.. Kennedy flew off to
a Palm Beach vacation and Con-
gress prepared to take its Easter
leave of the city, Senate Majority
Leader Mansfield cautioned his
fellow Democrats.
1.-The most difficult period Of
this session lies ahead of u.s." he
said.
With perhaps three-quarters Of
Mr.. Kennedy's major legislative
program still to be processed, this
senatorial observation may be re-
garded as something of an under
statement.
Like other Democratic leaders
on Capitol Hill, Senator Mansfield
believes that the legislators will
come back from their grassroot
soundings convinced that the peo-
pie back home are in favor of the
Kennedy proposals.
There is little doubt that Mr..
Kennedy has impressed many
Americans with his vigor and con-
centration on Americas problems,
both domestic and foreign.
Whether he has impressed them
with a belief that there is an over
riding need for the enactment of
his proposals as a way to advance
the solution OF. these problems
may be determined by the return
ing Congress.

organization. With due credit to
the power Of the Republican
Southern Democratic coalition.
these Democrats believe that If
their IA assistant whips" had
been fully alert and aggressive in
producing for the vote all their
sympathetic party fellows, the
186-185 defeat might easily have
been turned into a victory.
Last week, the chastened whips"
had q chance to redeem them
selves. And, while the strength Of
the conservative coalition had
been diluted by a provision for
rural area aid of particular af-
firmative interest to Southerners,
they took no chances.
On the key vote, the administra-
tons 1898 million anti-recession
measure - already approved in
similar form by the Senate
passed the House by a vote of $50
to 167. The IA" had done their
jobs. Fewer than half the SO
Southern Democrats voted with
125 Republicans in opposition.
There was little quarrel, in
reality, with the idea of aiding
depressed areas. The Republi-
cans offered a substitute measure
calling for the expenditure of $275
million, but emitting $100 million
in the approved bill for rural aid.

switchboard. All calls to Moscow,
from Paris, London, New York
came through this small box. The
correspondent had to wait until
his particular call could be "lo-
Gated" When yet another loud
speaker announced his name, he
moved into one of the telephone
booths where every word he spoke
was duly recorded.
Correspondents soon learned to
play little games with the censor
ship. Standard practice was to
keep a third copy Of the original
story and to work in as much of
the censored copy as possible be-
hind the censor's back. Rules Of
the game dictated periodic discon-
nections or complete interruption
when the monitor discovered too
many censored portions coming
through.
Some correspondents would send
out the censored material later by
letter with a departing tourist or
businessman. This might appear
in print under another name and
date-line. But anyone who did this
too often was courting expulsion,
the most deadly weapon the So
viets hold over a correspondents
head.
Another trick" was a small
note to the censor outlining the
correspondents time problem. Di-
plomacy called for polite language.
The notes usually requested infor-
nation about possible delays so
other arrangements" might be
made with the home office.
The censor never answered.
Sometimes a story would return
with unexpected speed, but no
one ever knew whether he could
thank his plea to the censor. The
trick" failed too often to allow
any definite conclusions.
Censorship had one great ad-
vantage for the Russians. Like

NucIeor Plane

The fact that Mr.. Kennedy re-
fleets agreement with Mr.. Eisen-
hover. on such things as the nu-
clear plane, Nike-zeus and the
BID, instead of with the vocal
defense experts of his own
party, is another sign of courage.
The two Presidents, past and
present, appear, too, to share a
concern over the role and influ-
ence the military-industrial COM
plex plays in American life.
Mr.. Eisenhower warned Of this
combination in his reflective,
thought-provoking farewell ad-
dress to the Nation in January.
Last Tuesday, Mr.. Kennedy
sounded a warning Of his own.
Declaring that the basic problems
facing the world are not suscepti-
BILE to a military solution, he said:
Neither our strategy nor our
psychology as a Nation-and GER
tairly not our economy-must
become dependent upon our
permanent maintenance of large
military establishment"
The terrific pressures which
crushed down upon Mr.. Eisen-
hover and, in the Judgment Of
some, occasionally forced him to
compromise against his better
Judgment, may now gather and
close in on Mr.. Kennedy, although
probably with less force because
Of heavy Democratic majorities in
both Houses of Congress.
Will he be able to Withstand
them?

Soviet abolition of censorship
for foreign correspondents, re-
Gently announced in Moscow, is
potentially one of the most signi-
ficant developments in post-Stalin
Russia.
Potentially is the word because
other more indirect controls re-
main. The Foreign Ministry has
already limited it will not hesitate
to expel "indiscreet" correspond
ents. Copies of dispatches must
be saved for possible inspection.
kilograms and telephone calls un-
doubtedly will still be monitored.
This type of pressure already
exists in the East European satel-
liteS. From my own experience,
however, writing from Warsaw or
Prague was never so narrowing
as working under direct censor
ship in Moscow.
Censorship is the most devastat-
ing psychological weapon for re-
informing a correspondents sense
of loneliness in a society where
news is not news, facts are not
facts, until they have the Off
cial stamp of truth.
Officially, of course, it never
existed. Foreign journalists were
told they were being helped" to
avoid inaccuracies" about Soviet
reality.
Never Mentioned in Press
Few ordinary Russians realized
just how far that help" went.
Although the system has existed
with two brief interludes-since
the .1917 revolution, the Soviet
press never mentioned it.
The Soviet citizen is not likely
nov to learn of its abandonment.
All Western broadcasts and pub
licationS are still tightly con-
trolled by the government. And
their own press cannot announce
the end of non-existing system.
But for the foreign correspond

Day in, day out, he used to live
in dread of those deadly bouts of
shadow-boxing in the Central Post
office on Cork street, the Broad
way" of Moscow. Frustrated and
bitter, he fought over every story
with Kafka-like authority he
could neither see nor answer.
The form was simple enough.
Through an unobtrusive side door
of the Post Office. up a narrow
flight of carpeted stairs. and you
entered a long room comfortably
furnished with deep arm chairs,
heavy Soviet sofas, thick carpets,
and little telephone and writing
cabinets.
The newcomer soon discovered
the lounge was really plush cell
isolating him from his world.
Harsh flourescent lighting ran
the length Of the room. Twosneo-
Soviet women, looking like "prolS"
right out of George Orwell's 1884,
impassively faced each other at
desks behind long counter which
partitioned one wall from the rest
of the room.

Behind their wall these women
guarded the outer precincts of

correspondents outside.

Congress-:
Whips Up

The House last week passed
the depressed areas bill as Con-
gress recessed for the Easter
interlude after a fairly active
first three months Of the new
session.
When the post-mortems were
taken in the wake of the admin
istration's defeat in the House on
it's minimum wage bill, many DEM
ocrats agreed that there was a
breakdown in their regional "whip''
