Overcome Snake Reaction
For example. DR.. Peter j.
Lang. assistant professor Of
psychology at the University of
Pittsburgh, found l3 freshmen
volunteers with irrational fears
of snakes.
First DR.. Lang taught the
volunteers how to relax their
muscles at will. Then he asked
them to relax as much as pos
sible and think of writing the
word snake"
When they could remain re-
laxed while thinking Of the
word, he had them progress to
mental pictures of the snake
itself.
Later, Walt Disney nature
films featuring snakes were
shown while the volunteers re-
laXed.
In this test. each volunteer
got only IL sessions with the
therapist. At the end, the
volunteers had conditioned
themselves to relax instead Of
tensing with fear when they
thought of snakes.

CHI ARLO OTTESVILLE. Va.
April l4-PSychiatrists turned
on Sigmund Freud, the father
of pSychoanalysis, here today.
They said they could free
more patients of neuroSes by
"re-learning" techniqueS than
by his methods of analysis
and, indeed. do it quicker and
cheaper.
Not since Oedipus slew his
father has there been such a
scene as at the University of
Virginia meeting on new con-
ditioning therapy.
Dr.. Percival Bailey. for one,
called Freud "a failure as an
eXperimentalist. who lost his
head over the ficticious infor-
nation his patients were giving
him"
The scientist, who is director
of the Illinois State Psychiatric
Institute, also labeled much Of
Freud's work a scientific
fiasco." Freud's bilious
theory of the origin Of neuroSes
collapsed around his head, DR..
Bailey said, and gave the late
founder of analysis a severe
psychoneurosis of his own.

everything seems to be going
we'll. But if one scratches the
surface some scars become
noticeable. 1t is not so much
our avowed policies but our
intentions which cause dis
comfort in Paris and Bonn.
Our ultimate policies are
judged less by what we are
doing at present in Europe
than in other parts of the
world. 1t is surprising how
much attention is being paid
to our policies in Laos, for in
stance.
Our avowed purpose is to
keep that country out of the
clutches Of communism. This
IS essential for the sake Of
Southeast Asia. The bargain
ing between the three Laotian
princes and leaders of the
pro-WeStern, neutraliSt and
Communist factions in that
small Asian country has been
going on for more than a
year. Because of past eX-
periences Prince Boun Gum
is reluctant to lie in bed with
poisonous snakes" Under
pressure from Washington,
he agreed to organize a coali-
ton government but refuses
to hand over to the Com
munists the important cabi-
net Ministry of Interior,
which controls the police,
and the Ministry of Defense,
which controls the army.
Our Western allies con-
slider the "stubbornness" of
Prince Boun Gum fully justi-
fled. Yet Washington is pres
surfing the PROV Western
Laotian leader into surrender
by withholding economic
support amounting to 81 mil
lion a month.
The lesson which the allies
in Europe draw from this at
titude is that at a given
m ON ent, when the time
seems ripe for rapproche-
ment with Russia, a similar
policy may be adopted toward
Berlin, for instance, notwith-

They want a man untainted
by issues too far left for politi-

This preoccupation with the

One Of Moscow'S problems

1t also has permitted books

Marx referred to religion
as the "opiate Of the people"
In the study textbook of
fundamentals" We read:
"Marxism-Leniulsm regards
the world such as it actually
is. without adding an in
vented hell or paradise.
1t does not recognize the ex-
istence Of any supernatural
force or creator. 1t rests
squarely on reality, on the
real world in which We live.
Here is precisely the chal-
lenge to the church in the
very real world in which We
live today. If religion, Chris
,tjan or Jewish. is not ready
to contend with the forces Of
prejudice, discrimination, and
injustice, then such religion
is, in fact. an opiate.
Marx eliminated all moral
ideas from his manifeStoes.
He believed his method. of
direct action, was a more in
telligent and sure way to
achieve his principles. He
wrote: 1T is not the con-
SciousnesS of human beings
that determines their exist
ence. but conversely their So
cial existence that determines
their consciousness"
There is so much truth in
this assertion that no free
country, and no religious or
ganiZation, can safely ignore
the conditions of social ex-
iStence.
Meanwhile, the US. Com
muniSt Party has reached its
lowest ebb of membership
and influence. An alert peo-
pie and a genuine social con-
sciousness of government and
religion will continue to re-
duce the influence Of the in

sion generally. The result
has been a breakdown on
some Of the discussion clubs

Page AIT of the English
edition of the textbook on
fundamentals of Marxism-
Leninism reveals why Amer
ican students, with their
curiosity and tradition of
individualism, would find
the appeal unattractive. The
party line is this: Party dis
cipline does not expect any,
one to relinquish his own
convictions if these convic-
tionS are not at variance with
MarXiSm-Leninism.
This solemn statement is
inescapably hilarious to any
person, more especially a stu
dent, in a country where in
dependence Of opinion and
thought are traditional. To
say that any party member
may hold his own convic-
tions so long as they do not
vary from interpretations of
Marx and Lenin-iS paradox
that any thoughtful person
would recognize with a loud
guffaw. That young Com
munistS are finding this and
similar doctrine sterile and
uninspiring is not surprising.
The book is filled with dull
and conflicting statements.
In a discourse on the Com
muniSt parties, We read:
Broad democracy is COM
bined with centralized lead
ership and free discussion
with strict discipline and
unity of action. The party
has strict rules as regards
those who do not obey
adopted decisions"
In other words. there may
be democracy" so long as

The German economists,

Ludwig Erhard, maintain that
while it is true that the
Bonn Republic has now am

as rich as the United States.
Americans, say the German
economists, believe that Ger
many can advance billions
to the underprivileged or
needy governments - includ-

Curtain - for an indefinite
period.
However. the Federal Re-
public which is facing lean
years, cannot afford to fol-
low Americas example, the
German leaders say, and
must, like other prosperous
Europeans, be careful with
the taxpayers money.
The Germans point out in
this connection that even
the seemingly inexhaustible
wealth of America is begin
ming to show signs of fati-
que. Spells of weakness of the
dollar. once the strongest cur
rency in the world, are shown
by the fact that in the last
few months we have had to
borrow S45 million in Swift
zerland and $40 million in
Italy to prevent the fall of
the dollar below the present
rate.
These loans in themselves
are not regarded as overly
important except that they
indicate that in the frantic
race to cure the economic ills
OF the world the mighty dol
lar has begun to be winded.
The Germans, despite their
anxiety to please Washington,
have no intentions to follow
our example. To become the
MaecenaS of the world entails
too many dangers to the Ger
man taxpayers.

ROME-The consultations
OF Italian Prime Minister
Fanfani, French President
de Gaulle and German Chan
cellor Adenauer have been
friendly but inconclusive.
Their main purpose was to
give greater international
stature to the Italian leader
in the somewhat vague hope
that his position might be
strengthened.
Washington is making sim

published Washington dis
patches to the effect that
Italy will be given the same

1t is an open secret in dip
lomatic circles that while on
the surface our relations with
Paris and Bonn are as good

growing diSsensions.
The French government is
dissatisfied with our refusal
to provide France with tech
nlcal thermonuclear informa-
ton which would make their
efforts to become a member
of the nuclear club less ex-
penSive.
The Germans seem at a

want them to do and are
somewhat irked at our pres

our own liberal policies in

Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt

licans for writing preface to
a new book, The Liberal Pa
perS. The book obviously de-
lighted the Republicans as an
issue as dangerous to Demo-
cratic liberals as the John
Birch Society was becoming
Republican conservatives.
Republican Senators Dirksen
of Illinois, Goldwater of Ari-
zona and Morton of Kentucky
and House Minority Leader
Halleck of Indiana, teamed up
to charge the authors with
SoftneSS toward communism.
Mr.. Roosevelt kept a calm
silence.

reports they had joined with
social, political and scientific
thinkers to publish the Papers
A few of Mr.. Roosevelt's COL
leagues got skittish about elect
ing a group leader so closely
associated with an issue poten-
TALLY dangerous in close elec-
ton races.
They approached him about
declining the nomination before

He said he'd think about it.

Last Monday the son of for
mer President Roosevelt made

tee that he wouldn't risk en-
barrasSing them by running for

Somebody asked if he couldn't

Other committeeman noted
their group bylaws didn't call
for any vice chairman.
The meeting broke up incon-
clusively. The private consen-
suS was that Representative
Blatnik was the logical new
candidate.
Chairman Holifield, asked
for comment, had none on the

he'd received no report from
