Dear Mr. Dulles,
accua a Registry
A host of friends will be thinking during these days of your brother
with so much gratitude and prayer. He has given himself unsparingly.
His faith and his patriotism will be sorely missed.
I was especially grateful for his statement at Cleveland last November
when he said, Ne need to change ourselves to meet the chAllenge of a
changing world. Under our forms of society it is individuals and not
governments who have the decisive role to play. Many find us lacking in
faith and deeds.'
We were grateful for the thorough summary of the Communist danger
which you gave at the Edison dinner. Your warning of subversion was most
timely. We Americans so easily go to sleep when we think our steel
production will keep ahead of the Russians. Few in America recognize the
mortal threat of subversion, still trusting that material strength and
economic aid, however necessary, will win this ideological struggle.
The Shah of Iran has asked us for help for his country. He wants
Iranian students studying abroad to be trained in Moral Re-Armament. He
speaks with considerable feeling of the Iranian students who go abroad to
Europe and America and come back Communist agents or moral wrecks.
We are hard at work at Caux and Mackinac to answer the urgent appeal
which has also come from other countries in Asia and Africa with ideologically
trained manpower and tested weapons. We aim to get ready task forces of
such men BO that what has happened in Iraq is not the pattern of the future.
You may be interested in the story of some events which lay behind the
miracle of Cyprus, and a statement by Admiral Standley, former Chief of
Naval Operations and Ambassador in Moscow.
The Foreign Radio Broadcast Service gives us invaluable source material
with which to train our people. It is much appreciated.
With warm regards,
Yours ever sincerely,
H. Kenaston Twitchell

CYPRUS SETTLEMENT "A MIRACLE"
CAUX, SWITZERLAND ?The Chief Adviser to Arch-
bishop Makarios unfolded the behind-the-scenes story of
the Cyprus settlement before a thousand people here at the
MRA Easter Assembly.
Zenon Rossides, Cypriot member of the Greek delegation
to the United Nations and adviser to Archbishop Makarios,
said: The agreement in Cyprus came about not by sticking
to entrenched positions, nor merely by aiming to protect
our rights, but by thinking how we can cooperate together
for one goal . . . it is a symbol of a sudden important
change in the hearts and minds of men."
Before the Cypriot delegation arrived here, Archbishop
Makarios said in an interview, "I am extremely grateful
for what Moral Re-Armament is doing for the
country."
Ever since the summer of 1954 the Cyprus crisis has been
creating a widening gap between Greece and Turkey, allies
in NATO's eastern flank.
In December 1958 a new note was injected into the bit-
ter deadlock.
"The courage of the men of Moral Re-Armament has

For Berlin ?Strength
And New Hope
Berlin can touch off global war
The world watches tensely as both power blocs bid for
the city's future.
And from the heart of Berlin at this critical time
Deputy Mayor Franz Amrehn went to the MRA
Easter Assembly in Caux, Switzerland, in search of
an answer.
Here representatives from Asia and Africa, as well as
the Western world, joined to launch a continuing ideological
campaign in Europe and the Middle East.
Mayor Amrehn said after his visit, "We go to Berlin
strengthened and with new hope.
"The problem of Berlin is not just a question of conflict
between two power blocs; it is a conflict between two types
of world.
"A solution . . . can only come from the strength of our
own conviction and the strength of our faith.
"Berlin is only the crystallization point of a much
greater ideological conflict."
He said it would be "a grave self-deception" to try and
settle the problem in isolation, that it must be tackled in
a much wider framework.
"On every side we meet a strong feeling of resignation.
Many, even in the highest circles, think that no liberation
is possible for those under Communist domination.
"We shall win if we are absolutely determined and
if we are clear never to yield morally or allow any
compromise on principle."
After he spoke, Maurice Mercier, general secretary of
the French Textile Workers, assured him that French Social-
ist workers were in solidarity with him. And a British
financier, Stanley Hoar, joined Mercier.
They promised the Deputy Mayor of Berlin, in the name
of all present, that they would support his people in their
fight for freedom?by making every sacrifice in their own
countries to overcome weaknesses and divisions among the
free nations.

To the Caux Assembly
Our task is to pioneer paths to peace and unity. Where are the men and women who in
the spirit which has brought the solution to Cyprus will secure Berlin and Germany,
overarch the crisis between France and Algeria, bring freedom without bloodshed and
bitterness to Africa, resurrect Britain with a moral ideology and live before the nations
an indissoluble unity which will answer every problem?
',R. FRANK N. a BUCHMAN
Swiss President Visits Caux
The President of the Swiss Confederation, Paul Chaudet,
accompanied by his wife and two sons paid a private visit
to the Caux Assembly on March 31.
In a spontaneous reply to a message from Dr. Buchman,
the President who is also Minister of Defense said, The
modern world lives under the pressure of fear?fear which
makes hundreds of thousands of human beings say, it is
better today to go on living even in servitude than to fight
again for the defense of our liberty.'
"In face of the pressures, we can wish for nothing better
than to see a force of which you are the instruments?a
force of unity and love?gradually win the world, freeing
men and women of their fear."
CYPRUS (Continued from page 137)
changed the climate of Cyprus," declared the Greek Minis-
ter to London in the presence of members of the British
Foreign Office.
This was typified by an article the editor of the Cyprus
Mail wrote which appeared in The Times of London. It
said, "We British have not sufficiently considered the feel-
ings in the hearts of the men who live on Cyprus. Before
any approach can be successful, we may have to make
apologies. This may cost us a little pride, but it will
save a lot of blood."
Shedding his bitterness against the Cypriots among
whom he worked, this editor took four steps: he saw Sir
Hugh Foot, Governor of Cyprus, and told him of his
change and determination to answer hatred; he visited
Archbishop Makarios; in London he gave the Foreign Office
facts on the Cyprus situation; and he visited the Greek
Embassy in London telling of Moral Re-Armament as the
basic answer to the crisis in Cyprus.
Archbishop Makarios heard of the work that MRA was
doing. "Moral Re-Armament in the spirit of God offers
a great hope for world peace and the future of mankind,"
he cabled to the New Year's MRA Assembly in Los Angeles.
En route to Los Angeles John McGovern, for 28 years
a Member of the British House of Commons, conferred for
one and a half hours with Archbishop Makarios in New
York.
He apologized for the mistakes of the past and outlined
the British policy he favored, based on "what was right
not who was right."
At the request of Makarios, Rossides flew to the Los
Angeles Assembly.
In the atmosphere of trust there, Rossides lost his bitter-
ness. With McGovern he was able to develop a plan for the
138
settlement of the Cyprus issue on the basis of Moral Re-
Armament.
Shortly afterwards, Rossides flew back to Europe. He
conferred with officials in Athens and London.
He said later these "high level political contacts proved
most effective in paving the way for agreement" because
he approached them in the spirit of MRA.
Three weeks later the agreement was signed in London
closely paralleling the points Rossides had put forward.
Sir Hugh Foot commented, "Surely a miracle."
A. E. Yalman, editor of the great Turkish newspaper
Vatan, added to the story. He told how he had flown to
Athens and spoken to the Greek press immediately before
the Zurich conference.
The Athens daily, Vima, took the unprecedented step of
publishing an article by Yalman saying: "We must now
perform the miracle of changing Cyprus into a link
instead of a barrier between us."
Jean Rous, former political editor of the Paris daily
Franc Tireur said, "There are close analogies between
Cyprus and Algeria. The interests of France and Algeria
could be reconciled?what is needed is the will to tackle
the basic issues. It is not a question of political formulas,
but of human reconciliation. As in the case of Cyprus, I
believe the solution lies in Moral Re-Armament."
Turkish and Greek Cypriots at Cat= crowd forward
to thank A. E. Yalman (left), editor of Vatan, Istan-
bul, for his articles in Turkish, Greek and Cypriot pa-
pers stressing the common destiny of these lands.

FOR IRAN A SUPERIOR IDEOLOGY
By MA JID MOVAGHAR
Iran, with her Soviet frontier on
the north and her western border
now closed by Iraq, is acutely con-
scious of the ideological struggle.
The Shah, in decorating Dr. Frank
Buchman, initiator of Moral Re-
Armament, last December said, "Our
greatest need is a superior ideology."
In consequence sixty Iranians this
month have been attending an MRA
Assembly at the Caux, Switzerland,
training center. Fifteen are high in
the government, military, educa-
tional and business life of the coun-
try and 45 are studying at European
universities.
These delegates, during one ses-
sion, said that their Minister of
Court, Minister of Education and
President of the Chamber of Com-
merce were launching a program to
provide MRA training facilities and
literature in Iran on a national scale.
Their aim: "To help the rising
generation in Iran become a force
through MRA for the peaceful so-
cial reconstruction of our country,
and lift her out of the present illiter-
acy, poverty and division."
Chairman of the session was the
Iranian editor and parliamentarian,
Majid Movaghar. His article on Iran
follows:
* * *
DURING WORLD WAR II when
Russia violated the neutrality of Iran
and occupied the northern part of the
country, she freely gave her ideology to
the youth. The Tudeh (masses) Party
was organized.
Later, when the Shah was visiting
Teheran University, five shots were
fired at him. All five bullets hit the Shah,
wounding him in the face and piercing
his hat, but he was miraculously saved
for a higher destiny. Subsequently the
Tudeh Party was suppressed and the
ringleaders fled.
Aim at Regime's Downfall
These fugitives have since been shel-
tered in the Communist countries and
have undergone intensive ideological
training. They are now being massed in
Iraq on the Iranian border. Simultaneous-
ly Baghdad Radio is instigating the
Iranian Kurdish tribes to revolt and
join the Iraqui Kurdish tribes.
The aim of the fugitives is the down-
fall of the present Iranian regime
through the same tragic fate as befell
young King Feisal. The ultimate object
is to drag the nation behind the Iron
Curtain.
Russia recently sent a delegation with
promises and menaces to isolate Iran
from the Free World. Iran, realizing the
meaning of "friendship" in the Com-
munist world, had no alternative but
categorically to say "No."
Points of Pressure
In all these troubles two significant
points should be borne in mind:
(1) Iran is the only country in the
Baghdad Pact which is left unprotected.
She is neither in NATO nor SEATO;
(2) In the Russo-Iranian Treaty (now
revoked by Iran) there was an article
which gave Russia the right to move
her army into Iranian territory if a
third party should threaten Russian in-
terests in Iran.
Russia is now charging Iran with
having given the U.S. military bases on
her territory, and threatens to take ad-
vantage of this treaty right. Iran has
called upon America to guarantee her
integrity against any foreign aggression,
in a bilateral treaty which is now
operative.
Accordingly Iran is less worried over
Russian aggression than an inside up-
rising. Iran is in search of an answer
to satisfy the nation, particularly the
youth.
Revolutionary Reforms
Great revolutionary reforms, unheard
of in the long annals of the nation, are
now being introduced into Iran, through
the Shah's personal efforts to answer the
national needs. He stated:
"We shall have either a revolution by
consent from within or a revolution by
force from without."
What does he mean by a "revolution
by consent from within?" Every time
the Shah looks in the mirror the scars
of ideological war left on his face re-
mind him of the meaning of "ideology."
Communism is an ideology based on
atheism, materialism, division and class
warfare. Moral Re-Armament is an
ideology based on absolute honesty, ab-
solute purity, absolute unselfishness and
absolute love.
Scorpion Juice
A Persian quotation says, "Scorpion
bites are best cured with scorpion juice."
Only an ideology answers an ideology.
It was to this end that the Persian
Government invited the International
Mission of Moral Re-Armament ? a
force of some 250 from 30 nations of
all points of view, castes and colors, to
visit Iran in 1955 as guests of the Gov-
ernment. The Shah not only gave a state
reception in honor of the Mission, but
even went so far as to open his royal
palace, for the first time, to the public
to see the musical show The Vanishing
Island.
Since then the Shah has received sev-
eral other MRA missions. He has
bestowed the decoration of Commander
of the Order of the Crown on Dr. Buch-
man. He sent a personal message?the
first of its kind by the head of a state?
to be delivered by his representative,
the Iranian Ambassador to Switzerland,
at Caux at the end of 1958.
Iran has found the answer. She is
giving an example of the right states-
manship in the Age of Ideology.

WHAT AMERICA IS MEANT
As told to a friend
by PRISCILLA CORNELL
(Written a year before her death)
WE ARE AN AMERICAN FAMILY?
Doug, Priscilla, Susie, Debbie, Sam
and Steve. We live in a large, old-fashioned
house in Washington, D.C., with Taffy, our
dog, and two parakeets.
Doug goes to his job in the National
Academy of Sciences every day, and the
children go off to school, just like thousands
of other families in America.
But we have a secret in our home that
lights up dark corners and takes the fear
out of everything that makes life so un-
certain these days whether you live in
Washington, or London, or Moscow or
Manila: fear of the future?fear of what
other people think of you?fear of failure
?fear of the boss?fear of your husband?
fear of death.
An Answer To Fear
God can direct the life of each one of us
if we are humble enough to want it and
honest enough to recognize His guidance.
This fact completely changed our lives.
One day in 1955 I found I had cancer.
We had discovered the deeply satisfying
unity that comes with honesty and com-
mitment to an idea greater than ourselves.
Just the same, knowledge of my illness was
a shock.
We persuaded the doctors to tell us the
full truth, and we shared it with the chil-
dren. Each one at his level of understand-
ing knew what it meant. We sat down to-
gether and listened to God. We learned to
face reality together in the family and with
our friends, and we found a deeper unity
each time a crisis came or a decision was
necessary.
Of course I worried about the children.
I think I love them more now than I knew
how to before, because the possessiveness
in me is gone. But I know with certainty
that God loves them and knows their needs
even better than I do. The only thing we
can give our children to equip them for the
future is a security in God.
Physical cancer is not a tragedy. It can
be a painful disease?I have had four oper-
ations in the last three years. But I know
the suffering so many families endure of
disunity, of hate, of fear, the acid pain of
jealousy, the pangs of desire for satisfac-
tions that do not satisfy when you get them,
the choking of self-will, the monotonous
deadness of a life without purpose?these
tragic diseases have been cured in our fam-
ily forever.
Sometimes I have become a materialist
again, wanting things for myself?includ-
ing life and health. But I know that what
God has for me is right. It isn't what hap-
pens to me that matters, but what I do
with what happens. This is the real chal-
lenge?to continue to care for the family
and friends, not in the easy way of doing
for them, but by time spent in prayer and
guidance, in living a compelling faith.
Faith and Ideology
We had a faith in God before. From
Frank Buchman in MRA we have learned
to relate our faith to the needs of the world,
and to live to answer those needs. That is
an ideology. It gives a goal and a purpose
to living. It means a satisfied heart.
More than that, it means whatever hap-
pens to me can be a weapon for the future.
Whether it is humanly good or bad does
not matter so long as we are faithful and
obedient. When I have been physically un-.
able to do anything, my guidance has been,
"I can still listen and obey."
Each time fear and , discomfort come
back, they point me to the Cross. Jesus
really is there to carry half the load. I
know He can heal me, but He may have
a bigger plan than that. It is no longer I,
myself, with a personal problem, but a
gift for all, given to me to be used for
the world. When we live always at the
foot of the Cross we serve our ideology and
faith floods in.
President Eisenhower says: "Whatever
America hopes to bring to pass in the world
must first come to pass in the heart of
America." That means in the hearts of
families like ours. We have come to see
that what we live as a family has every-
thing to do with what America is meant
to give to the world.

A heart which cared
said "Caution,"
when lesser hearts
A faith which dared when weakness whis-

A life poured out men's lives anew to
fashion,
A spirit triumphing through every test;
A mind which showed that matter was not
master,
A fire which reached to millions, near and
far,
Proof beyond science, strong above disas-
ter,
That o'er the satellite still gleams the Star.

TO GIVE IN THE WORLD
Her Gallant Faith Joined East and West
DRISCILLA CORNELL, wife of Dr. S.
Douglas Cornell, Executive Secretary of
the Nationel Academy of Sciences, died in
Washington on March 19 at the age of 41.
She is survived by her husband and their
four children?Susan, Deborah, S. Douglas,
Jr., and Steven .
Mrs. Cornell's funeral services were in
the nation's capital, and she was laid to
rest in Buffalo, her father's home. She was
honored in memorial services at Mackinac
Island, Michigan, at Los Angeles and San
Diego, and :is far away as Melbourne,
Australia.
Four years ago Mrs. Cornell discovered
she had cancer. She learned she had only
a short time to live. Yet, even after succes-
sive operations, she flew with her husband
?once to Britain and later to the Philip-.
pines ? to take part in the ideological
struggle for Asian and European unity.
For she had been freed from fear by the
permanent faith she lived and passed on.
It was rock-firm?for world statesmen, for
her children, for scientists of the space age.
"Continuing Courageous Fight"
Messages came to Dr. Cornell and his
family from every continent: from Burma's
Ambassador in Washington; from Japanese
government, industrial and labor leaders;
from African nationalists and Dutch South
African figures; from an American diplo-
mat in the Ivory Coast; from Rio long-
shoremen's leaders, former rivals, who had
found unity in "Priscilla's continuing
courageous fight."
Dr. Frank Buchman telegraphed: "Lov-
ing wife and mother whose gracious form
illumined every act; one of God's gallant
ladies, whose valor gave hope and victory
wherever she went. Priscilla lived an answer
adequate for her family, America and the
world.
"She lives in countless hearts to whom
she brought a radiant faith, especially those
Asian peoples at Baguio whom she touched
and changed and brought to a new love
for America. She was gentle, gracious, hon-
est, humble and committed.
"You Douglas, and Susie, Debbie, Doug
and Stevie, her children, will rise up and
call her blessed. Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of His saints.
"Priscilla lives, she lives in all the past.
She lives, nor to the last of seeing her
again will I despair. In dreams I see her
now, and upon her angel brow I see it
writ, 'Thou shalt meet me there.'"
* * *
Perhaps the best way to understand the
full measure of a person like Mrs. Cornell
is through the eyes of her friends as they
remembered her "who has not gone but
only gone ahead." There were scores of
tributes.
The President of the National Academy
of Sciences, Dr. Detley W. Bronk, spoke in
the Washington Cathedral at Mrs. Cornell's
funeral service. He said: "The Cornelis
taught me to transform impatience into pa-
tience. They encouraged me to replace fear
with courage. They shamed me out of
anger into love. They taught me to scorn
complacency for positive deeds of goodness.
"Priscilla showed that one was not justi-
fied in hiding behind a physical handicap
in order to do less than we can do. She
showed how a handicap can be transformed
into strength if one is fortified by the
spirit of Christ in God."
Begum Hayaud-Din, wife of the military
attache at the Pakistan Embassy, also spoke
in the Washington Cathedral: "What an
excellent friend! She was like a mirror for
me?the thing that Islam says we Muslims
should be for one another. She had a mag-
netic charm because of the quality of her
faith.
"The way she received her illness was a
miracle to me. She often said, 'It isn't how
long I live, but how I live.' A wonderful
example of gracious American woman-
hood."
Masahide Shibusawa, son of a former
Japanese Finance Minister, told of the Cor-
nelis' time in 1957 at the Asian Assembly
in the Philippines at Baguio.
"We Asians were very deeply impressed
and greatly challenged by the faith and
commitment which she lived. To us such
Americans are the only hope for the world.
"I was standing on the balance, whether
I should choose a selfish career for myself
or the fight for Moral Re-Armament. I de-
cided to give the rest of my life to restore
for what my nation had done to America
and to our Asian naighbors.
(Continued on page 142)
"Her Horizons Were The World"
From all those who have sent mes-
sages I see the amazing outreach of
all that Priscilla lived and fought for.
Her fight was never cancer; that was
never a burden or a punishment, but
one of God's amazing gifts, and her
task was to use it to His Glory.
She faced her own human nature,
but was never bound by it; she
claimed victory over it again and
again. She gave her family endless
love and care, and she fought for us
constantly because she knew that our
unity together and our surrender to-
tally to God's plan for each of us
would change the world.
She carried all the world on her
heart, which is what made her heart
big enough to care so much for each
of us. She surrendered each of us to
find, in fullest freedom from human
constraint, the maximum God wants
to give. I pray that I shall have the
wisdom and strength to do that for
our children, as she did.
Hers was the biggest fight of all--
literally to remake the world along-
side Frank Buchman. She poured
herself out for the person next to
her, but she kept herself free of fear,
self-pity and ambition so that she
could give joyously where God said,
and fight as He guided. Her horizons
were the world, her focus on the next
step in guidance.
She burned that America awaken
to the full responsibility of her heri-
tage and her destiny and she gave
everything to advance that in God's
way. I pledge to you that I will car-
ry on that fight and give everything
as she did for it.

The Right Revolution In Africa'
Riots and revolution in Nyasaland and the Belgian Congo have focused
the attention of the world on Africa. By 1960 one third of the continent's
220 millions will be independent.
The question is, "Will Africa become another China?" or will it fulfill
Frank Buchman's vision of "Africa?the answer continent for the world?"
With these issues in mind a confer-
ence to bring freedom to Africa with-
out bitterness and bloodshed took place
at the University College of Ibadan in
Nigeria last week.
Delegates included members of the
federal and regional legislatures, a group
from the French Cameroons, and black
and white from South Africa.
They were welcomed by Emmanuel
Obe, president_ of the National Union
of Nigerian Students.
Chief J. L. Tifase, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Ministry of Health and
Social Welfare in Western Nigeria, said,
"Yesterday we floundered as we in
Africa sought an ideology big and com-
plete enough to bring lasting freedom
to the emerging nations. Today we say
Moral Re-Armament is the only hope
in creating national unity?one aim, one
mind, one goal."
"Button That Opened The Door"
Roland Bekale, general secretary of
the Cameroons National Action Move-
ment said, "The coming of indepen-
dence of the Cameroons is due in a
great part to MRA." The visit of Fi-
nance Minister Charles Assale to the
MRA Assembly at Mackinac, he said,
pressed the button that opened the door.
Following his visit to Mackinac, Min-
ister Assale had apologized to leaders
of the government party for his bitter-
ness toward them. Later he was asked
to be Finance Minister in the Govern-
ment.
The passage through Parliament of
the 1959 budget by unanimous vote was
due to what the Minister had learned
through MRA, Bekale said.

Gallant Faith
(Continued from page 141)
"It is up to us whether we carry on
the Cross of Christ which Mrs. Cornell
lived. With the Cross of Christ lived in
reality?which means a change at the
very root?America can save the world.
This is the only answer which can take
Communists' breath away and change
them. This is what Mrs. Cornell wanted
to say to America and the whole world."
Noted Burmese educator Daw Nyein
Tim also told of Priscilla Cornell at
Baguio:
"The word for Priscilla is selflessness.
Her absolute commitment was to obey
God. She often said, 'God never makes
mistakes.' Everything from God is a
gift?use it to the maximum to remake
the world.'"
Mrs. William Close of Greenwich,
Connecticut, said: "I'll never forget
when Priscilla stood up and told the
Baguio Assembly about her, cancer?and
about her victorious faith: and how with
four children at home she was at Baguio
while her life was held by such a slender
thread. The room was stunned, people
Were so shaken.
"Americans are not alWays loved in
Asia. But I was proud to be with Pris-
cilla because she was honest with Asians
about where she needed to change, with
her joy and sense of humor, and they
responded to that."
A British couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rich-
ard Channer, said that Mrs. Cornell
"melted cold hearts in Britain" during
her time in 1956 when the musical
drama The Vanishing Island was in
London.
Alfred Ferreira, South African school
principal, remarked on the effect of her
welcome to Africans in her home: "How
happy she was! To us Africans she was
the woman of the new America, who
really lived the revolution of the heart
which is going to win the world."
The grandson of Mahatma Gandhi,
Rajmohan Gandhi, called her "a patriot
and stateswoman whose heart was given
to the world. The first Baguio Assembly
completely changed the history of Asia."

"Mao. Tse-tung's Hungary"
TIBET FOCUSES NEW THINKING IN ASIA
MORE THAN ANY EVENT in the last
ten years, the dramatic flight to
India of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's 23-year-
old god-king, has alerted millions
throughout Asia to the true nature of
the Communist bid for the world.
At the same time, Tibet now throws
into sharp perspective the trend of posi-
tive ideological thinking among Budd-
hist Asian leaders in the past decade.
A new awareness has come. Mao Tze-
tung's suppression of Tibet has violated
"the spirit of Bandung." It has exposed
"peaceful coexistence." This is the tone
of press reactions in India, Burma, Cey-
lon and Indonesia. The Daily Times of
Jakarta commented: "This picture of
Asians kicking Asians around is not a
pleisant one."
"Mao Tse-tung's Hungary . . ." With
rocket speed this commentary has al-
ready circled the world.
The New Enlightenment
What is the new thinking, the answer-
ing force in Asia?
Quietly and effectively over the past
ten years a new direction has come
among Asian leaders. When Dr. Frank
Buchman in 1952 took a force of 200
to India, Pakistan and Ceylon?during
the course of which he was invited to
address both houses of the Indian Par-
liament in New Delhi ? the Bombay
Chronicle commented: "For the first
time millions in Asia have seen a posi-
tive alternative to Communism."
Meanwhile there was a stirring in
Buddhist Asia, the spiritual kinsmen of
the Dalai Lama's Tibetan subjects.
Two saffron-robed Buddhist priests of
Burma set precedent by attending World
Assemblies of Moral Re-Armament at
Mackinac and Caux. U Rewata, Abbot
of the Aletawya Monastery of Rangoon,
gave up his plans to retire in Ceylon and
decided instead, after seeing the effec-
tiveness of this answering ideology at
Mackinac, to bring Moral Re-Armament
to his people. "We must work with oth-
ers to bring Moral Re-Armament to
every nation," U Rewata said. "Only so
can we bring peace to the whole world."
The Lord Abbot of Wet Mahadhatu Monastery, leader of 200,000 Buddhist priests in
Thailand, decorates Dr. Frank Buchman with a' gold medal at Mackinac Island, Mich.
U Narada, another Buddhist priest of
Burma, attended the Caux Assembly and
joined U Rewata in the fight for the
new thinking in Burma.
The action of U Rewata and U Nar-
ada led to a meeting at Rangoon's famed
Shwe Dagon Pagoda under the leader-
ship of the Mon Yin Sayadaw, elder
statesman of Burma's 80,000 Buddhist
priests.
So effective has been the impact of
Moral Re-Armament in giving a new
thinking that former Prime Minister
U Nu?five years later in 1957?public-
ly declared, "Dr. Buchman has given the
world an ideology above race or class
because it answers the needs of the heart.
It seeks to change men, their ideas, their
aims, and their motives."
"Never Too Late To Begin"
A further statesmanlike leadership
has come from one of Thailand's out-
standing Buddhist monks, the Lord Ab-
bot of Wat Mahadhatu Monastery in
Bangkok, leader of 200,000 priests in
his country .
Last summer the Lord Abbot, with
official permission of the King and Cabi-
net of Thailand, attended the World As-
143
sembly of Moral Re-Armament at Mack-
inac.
"I wish I had met you twenty years
ago," the Lord Abbot said to Dr. Buch-
man at Mackinac. "Think of what we
could have done together for world
peace."
"It's never too late to begin," Dr.
Buchman replied.
For China and Russia Too
From Mackinac the Lord Abbot went
to Washington, London, Bonn, Rome,
and New Delhi, fired with this new con-
viction. He spoke from the President's
box, night after night, at the National
Theater in Washington to packed audi-
ences, after the presentation of Moral
Re-Armament plays. He talked with
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in the
German capital about Moral Re-Arma-
ment. He met the late Pope Pius XII at
Saint Peter's in Rome. He conferred with
the President of India in New Delhi.
Wherever he went he had one burn-
ing conviction. "The four absolute moral
standards of Moral Re-Armament must
go to the whole world?including China
and Russia."

ment slogan, 'It's not who's right but what's right'."

New Light For Italy
Behind the effort to unite Europe and establish a sound
economic foundation and an effective military defense
(NATO) comes the story of a bloodless revolution.
As Uncle Tom's Cabin caught the conscience of the
American people, so the play La Luce di Domani (The
Light of Tomorrow) has awakened a new thinking and
attitude in the industrial, social and government life of
Italy.
Angelo Pasetto, author of the play, fought in the under-
ground resistance movement during World War II and
was for six years a member of the Italian Communist
Party. He and millions more in his country became cyni-
cal towards the Church and democracy. At war's end Fas-
cism and Communism clashed violently for the people's
allegiance. Extremes of poverty and progress divided them
still further.
Angelo Pasetto forged Light of Tomorrow from these
realities, and his own experience in Italy since. A militant
trade unionist won from Communism by Moral Re-Arma-
ment, he lost his bitterness, and the road reopened for him
back to the Catholic Church.
Light of Tomorrow is one of the weapons being used to
implement Chancellor Adenauer's appeal for Dr. Frank
Buchman to help unite Europe on the basis of MRA.
In the first-night audience at the Georlomo Theatre were
nobility, industrialists, workers of every viewpoint.
"Every time I see this play," said the wife of trade union
leader Egidio Quaglia, "it uncovers the wound again." (Her
father had been killed by the Communists.) "But it is
ANGELO PASETTO
worthwhile because through it an answer is brought to the
world. I am grateful to MRA which has brought healing
to these hurts and all the bitterness in my life."
One of Italy's foremost textile industrialists, Franco
Marinotti, brought a party of 18. "This play will resolve
many problems in Italy," he said.

crease of $2800 will see a $700
hike for playground staff ad-

High School, with another
$1400 scheduled for personnel
to conduct coaching clinics and
baseball leagues. Of the in-

Additions
Additions to the program for
the coming year include coach-
ing clinics to provide more
sound instruction in the funda-
mentals of the major sports.
The coaching clinics will be
held every Saturday during the
coming school year. School
district coaches, recreation
personnel and outstanding San
Marino High School Athletes
will work together to provide
top notch instruction in foot-
ball, basketball, track and base-
ball for all interested boys in
San Marino.
The Valentine School Pro-
gram which started late this
year on a two day per week
trial basis will be expanded to
operate Monday through Fri-
day next year.
In addition, the possibilities
of adding a summer drama
class and extending the intra-
mural program into the High
School age levels are under
consideration. Plans for further
expansions of 'baseball pro-
grams, the Middle- League for
boys 13-15 and the Junior
League for goys 9-12 are now
in the final stages.
Attendance Grows
Since the initiation of the
present intra-mural athletic
program coupled with many
leisure time playground activi-
ties three years ago, Play-
ground attendance has more
than doubled, while overall rec-
reation participation has tripled
during the last three years.

Instructional costs in the Unified School District are con-
tinuing their gradual climb upward, with the Board of Educa-
tion Tuesday night approving a salary increase of $100 per step
for teachers in the Unified School District and ok'ing the addition
of another seven teachers for
the next school year. Superin-
tendent Walter Dingus affirmed
that the net cost of these in-
creases and additions would
approximate $55,000 - slightly
above increased costs last
year with additions and raises.
Dingus also said the District
will be able to live within its
present tax rate, and contem-
plates no increase.
A beginning teacher in San
Marino would now earn $4600,
compared to $4500 per annum a
year ago, while a teacher with
three years experience in the
District (or the equivalent of
three years experience when
hired) would be paid $5150, up
$100 over a year ago. All in all
these salary increases will raise
operating costs for next year
by $13,000, Dingus noted.
New Personnel Costs
However the biggest increase

pay teachers this year.
Other increases will bring the
total to around $55,000.

Along
the Drive
Thoughts at Easter time:
America and the whole world
never needed appreciation of
what Easter season means as
it is now needed. Actually, we
need refreshment and a new
start in the right direction.
? ? ?
Attendance at church on
Easter should be prompted by
something deeper than the de-
sire to see, or be part of, a
fashion display.
? ? ?
For the rest of the week, we
should contemplate the meaning
of Easter and let its meaning
go with us, not for the special
day, but throughout the year.
? ? ?
Easter is a promise fulfilled.
? ? ?
Quote of the week: "My am-
bition is to become more philo-
sophically happy - and to in-
fect readers with the same ba-
cillus." Farbstein in News-
week.
? ? ?
We were just wondering if
motor police couldn't be given
days off when the smog re-
duces visibility to three miles
and cuts speed on the
freeways in direct proportion.
Then put them on "en masse"
during clear days to curb
people trying to slaughter one
another in their haste to get
no place.

It has been said that courage
is not the absence of fear but
the mastery of it.

Kite City Building
To $159,000 Mark
Along with the warming spring weather, the building picture
in the city heated up, according to Building Inspector Sophus
Press who affirms that $159,000 of building permits have been
issued in the past few days. Three of the permits were for resi-
dehces, while another was is-

On Huntington drive, Mr. and
Mrs. Clayton C. Hurley will
erect an office building on the
west end of the lot at the
corner of Huntington drive and
Del Mar avenue, facing the
drive, says Press. The eight
office unit structure will be

of this city. The brick and
stone building at 2526 Hunting-
ton drive will have 4100 square
feet.
A contemporary style resi-
dential structure, valued at
$48,000, will be constructed at
1030 Canon drive by Dr. and
Mrs. Walter Thompson, indi-
cates Press. The home will

have seven rooms, 2800 square
feet and another 1000 square
feet in porch and garage
space. It will be oriental mod-
ern in design.
Another building permit was
granted to S. E. Chuey to build
a modern ranch house at 825
Sussex road, valued at $36,000.
The six room abode will have

(Editor's Note: Douglas Cunningham of Melville drive is turing Company in Vernon.
A native of Southern Califor-
nia, he graduated from the Uni-
versity of Southern California
in 1931, entering business later.
He was a member of the Ver-
non Rotary Club, the Univer-
sity Club and the Vernon Cham-
ber of Commerce.

his mother, Mrs. Carolyn M.

Spending this academic year far from Pomona tranquillity, earn-
ing credits at the American University in Beirut. Last week he
reported on the anti-communist change in Arab politics. This
week, as Christians in San Marino celebrate Easter - and as
Spring comes to the city - he writes of a troubled Holy Land.
This other land, far from Lacy Park sunrise services and the
"Alleluias" of the local Church choirs, is celebrating Easter its
own way. Cunningham's report follows*
Just as Easter assumes its place in the affairs of San Ma-
rino, even so do religious events receive attention in the Middle
East, although quite apart from Easter celebrations there. Re-
porting on he anti-communist gyrations of Gamal Abdul Nasser
of Egypt, Douglas Cunning-
ham of Melville drive opines
that "Nasser has brought in re-
ligion to back him in his anti-
communist campaign. In an
unprecedented show, probably
for Western and Lebanese con-
sumpton, the Greek Orthodox
Bishop marched side by side
with the Chief Muslim Sheikh
into the main Damascus Mos-
que to orate over the body of
an Iraq rebel killed in last
week's revolt."
Cunningham adds "this type
of ceremony, minus the Chris-
tian participation of course,
dates from the 'Holy War'
declarations of the early days
of Islams and the Crusades.
Religion is a powerful weapon
in Nasser's hands, but more
powerful among the peasantry
than among the students and
Intellectuals who have guided
Syrian politics."
Religion Of Revenge
A religion of "revenge is the
only solution" guides the ref-
ugees from Palestine, another
group powerfully affecting the
Middle East, Cunningham pens.
"Having visited friends in one
of the Middle East's many
camps for Palestine refugees,
I can report on the amazing
durability of their hopes of re-
turning home."
"They are, I believe, rightly
convinced of the justice of their
claims," he goes on, "and very
few will even discuss the pos-
sibility of Israel's long-term
existence."
Nasser On the Spot
Commenting on Nasser's
propaganda war with Iraq's
Premier, Abdul Karim Has-
sem, the young San Marinan
notes that "by his current anti-
communist outbursts, Nasser
has really put himself on the
spot." If he antagonizes the
Soviets too much, Cunningham
ventures, Nasser may lose the
military materiel support he
counts on to equip and main-
tain his war machine. If he
ceases to attack Israel, he may
lose the support of the Arab
community.
He writes that "Abdul Nas-
ser's hope is that the United
States will back him, but with
as few demands as possible re-
garding Israel. This is the ap-
proximate translation of the
term, 'unconditional foreign
aid."

MRA The Answer To Communism
"FOR AMERICA ? MORAL RE-ARMAMENT OR COMMUNISM"
By
Admiral William H. Standley
Former Chief of Naval Operations and former United States Ambassador to Moscow
SAN DIEGO, March 24, 1959?It is well known to all my friends in
San Diego and for that matter to all San Diego residents that I am and
have been for years a definite and outspoken enemy of communism.
My stand on the McCarthy issue is well known to them all.
We are in a world war of ideas and our greatest need is to go on the
offensive. We must awaken America to the need of arming our nation
with an ideology as well as through economic and military means. Sub-
versive forces are tearing down and undermining the moral strength of
America. At the same time with ruthless duplicity Moscow is sweet one
day and tough the next with a strategy which the free world has failed
to comprehend.
Moral Re-Armament, which came to San Diego with an internation-
al ideological force of 150 men and women from 23 nations is at the
same time effectively operating with similar forces in Europe, Asia and
Africa. I have known Moral Re-Armament for 20 years. I know it is
effectively answering communism. Moscow attacks it for that reason.
Subversive forces, aiming to weaken the free world and destroy Moral
Re-Armament, have accused it of being pacifist, and are behind this mis-
chievous propaganda.
Moral Re-Armament strives to make men
and nations incorruptible and therefore a bul-
wark against the advance of communism in this
country as well as every other free country.
Moral Re-Armament provides strength for demo-
cracy. It is a continuation of the American Re-
volution on a world scale. With Moral Re-Arma-
ment America can go on the offensive in the
world war of ideas.
To set the record straight, Moral Re-Arma-
ment is not and has never been pacifist. It shares
equally in importance with material re-arma-
ment. Both are essential to our survival. Men
trained in Moral Re-Armament have served and
are serving with honor on many battelfields of
the world. When the Second World War was
over these men knew that the real battle had
just begun. In the last 20 years a force of men
has been built on every continent with the train-
ing adequate to the need. Moral Re-Armament
ranks with the highest form of patriotism and is
providing an irreplaceable national service.
Dr. Frank Buchman, the founder of Moral
Re-Armament and a great American, 30 years ago
saw the need for an ideological force in the free
world and started then to create the answering
force. He says, "We need an idea in the head and
an answer in the heart as well as a gun in the
hand."
Moral Re-Armament is being recognized as
a superior ideology to communism throughout the
world. Statesmen in key areas are turning to it.
Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany in invit-
ing an MRA force to Germany says, "Unless
the work of Moral Re-Armament is carried for-
ward, peace in the world cannot be maintained."
Prime Minister Kishi of Japan, inviting the
MRA force to Japan, says, "This idea is the most
needed one at this crucial time in our history."
Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma
Gandhi, said to me, "For India the choice today
is Moral Re-Armament or communism."
I believe the same choice confronts America;
Moral Re-Armament or communism.
Moral Re-Armament is bringing a rebirth
of democracy and is restoring God to leadership
in the lives of men and nations. I have witnessed
these ideological plays recently presented in San
Diego by Moral Re-Armament and am more con-
vinced than ever that they are bringing the
answer for all mankind.
ADMIRAL WILLIAM H. STANDLEY, the former Chief of Naval
Operations and formerly United States Ambassechr to Moscow,
in a statement printed on this page called MRA "the continu-
ation of the American Revolution on a world scale." He adds:
"The choice that confronts America is Moral Re-Armament or
Communism."
SAN DIEGO. General J. W. O'Daniel, seen here with some of the cast of the MRA Asian play, "The Road to Tomorrow,"
after a presentation in San Diego last week. General O'Daniel, who commanded the famous "Hell on Wheels" 3rd
Division, which fought through Italy into Germany, and was known as "Iron Mike" by his men, called MRA "the
answer to Communism for the whole world."
PALM SPRINGS. Mayor Frank Bogert (right) greets Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of the Mahatma. The Mayor pre-
sented the keys of the city to Gandhi and the MRA force following performances of the MRA play at the Palm
Springs High School Auditorium. The Mayor said the visit of this MRA force was "the best thing ever to happen to
Palm Springs." The School Board has since passed a resolution inviting the MRA youth play "The New American"
for a presentation in the High School at a School Assembly.
WASHINGTON. Two missile experts, Dr. S. D. Cornell (right) Executive Officer of the
National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C. and B. F. Coggan, General Manager,
Convair, San Diego. The MRA task force has been in San Diego this week at the
invitation of Coggan and other senior citizens. Speaking in Los Angeles recently,
Cornell "TnC.1" we face three aitern.t;vp. tntriL, voru AL-4 _
renaissance for all men through MRA."
EL TORO MARINE BASE: Major-General S. S. Jack, Commanding General AirFMP Pacific, with members of the MRA
task force, following a presentation of the MRA plays at the Marine Base this week. With General Jack is a Japanese
who spent eleven years in a Russian prisoner-of-war camp in Siberia. In Russian periodicals there he read attacks
on MRA. The MRA plays were invited to the Base by the Base Commander, Brigadier-General Ronald- Salmon.
BEVERLY HILLS. Chief of Police Clinton Anderson, (right) talks before the MRA play with

political advisor to Archbishop Makarios, confer on the Cyprus problem at the MRA Assembly in Los Angeles. Rossides then
flew directly to the Cyprus Conference in London, where he played a significant part. The Greek Ambassador to the UN recently
wrote MRA expressing his "thanks for the valuable contribution made by MRA towards the settlement of Cyprus."
