Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, pas
tor I the Marble Collegiate
church in New York City, cer
tainly has popularized his 'brand
of preaching. In his sermons, in
his books ("Power of Positive
Thinking," etc.) and in his radio
talks he has become a real com
petitor of psychoanalysts. To him
press in person or by letter those
with worries. He tries to straight
en out their thinking by applying
the precepts of the gospeL One
can easily find appropriate quotes
in Holy Writ for such ministra
tion: "Come nolo Me all ye that
labor and are heavy laden;" "Cast
your burden on the Lord, and He
will sustain thee." Through 19
centuries folk have found com
fort in these words. Dn Peale
uses their meaning more skill
fully than many practitioners of
mental healing.
He is not without his critics,
bower. Some find in his stuff
only a watered-down version of
Christianity, a form of Coueism
"things are getting better every
dry in every way." They point to
other passages in the Bible which
contain sterner admonitions:
"Whosoever will come aftsr Me,
let him deny himself, and take up
his cross nd follow Me. For who
soever will save his life shall lose
it." Some even go to the extreme
of "enjoyin?" distress on the the
ory that the world is hopelessly
bad and the sooner it goes to
smash and they can get to heaven
the better.
May we not come to see that
religion has many facets? It does
bring comfort to the sorrowing.
It fires with real those who ded
icate themselves in Christian
service. .T?sus Christ himse if
both the Man of Sorrows, and the
indignant person flailing the huck
sters at the temple.

Berlin Police
Break Up Riot
Of Communists
BERLIN ). Several thousand
stone-throwing Communist demon
strators iried to break up a wehr
macht Veterans' rally Saturday
night but were, driven back into
the Soviet sector of Berlin by po
lice. Scores of policemen and dem
onstrators were injured.
The , club-wielding police were
met with a hail of stones -from
demonstrators, who - barricaded
themselves behind war-ruined
buildings. The police retaliated by
bringing two powerful fire hoses
Into play. They were reinforced by
residents of the -riot area who
dumped buckets of water on the
Communists. - .
Pplice jaid four policemen were
so seriously injured they must re
main in a hospital for some time.
Ten others suffered lesser injuries.
Eleven of, the Communist rioters
also were -akn to hospitals.
Scoresof nuerf fled to the Soviet
sector with bleeding wounds.
A West Berlin newsreel earner
man was beaten up by the Commu
nists and seriously injured. His
camera was smashed to pieces.
The number of arrests rose to
more than 60, police said. -
The East Berlin radio immedi
ately denounced the Western po
lice. It charged that the demon
strators were the victims of
"brutal - police terror." i
Just as the police were about to
force the demonstrators back jnto
East Berlin, the Communists ral
lied and opened up with a new
barrage of stones. But the police
won out anyway. '
The demonstrators then re
mained on their side of the border
and shouted: "Bloodhound Fasc

Deaths Lagging
Across Nation
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The number of deaths on Ameri
ca's highways lagged far behind
predictions Saturday night as one
third of the Memorial Day week
end went by . . ; ,.,
The National Safety' Council s ex
perts were optimistic that the traf
fic toll for the three-day holiday
might be at least 60 less than the
council's forecast or might even
fall below the 2 counted by The
Associated Press on a non-holiday
weekend, twp weeks ago.
This was the accidental death
count for the nation, begun at C
p. m. (local time) Friday. -'
At 2 a. m. (EST) there were 104
traffic deaths, 26 drownings, and
15 deaths from miscellaneous
cases, for a total of 145
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
the council had predicted a, traf
fic toll of 360 for the 78-hour holi
day. .
The count last year was 362 and
the record highway deaths for a
Memorial Day weekend was 363 in
1952. .
One apparent reason for the les
sened number of traffic fatalities
was fairly widespread stormy
weather in the central part of the
nation Saturday.

The new church, whose construc
tion will be handled to a great ex

to be ready for occupancy by early
September.
No other churches will be ab
sorbed ' into the Morningside
church, though a now-abandoned

to move to another location is cred
ited with spawning the new proj
ect After a survey of sites, Leslie
Methodist decided against a move
because of distance involved. How
ever, the Morningside location was
deemed ideal , for organization of
a separate church unit. -
The new church, resting on a
slope, will be two stories and with
a wood exterior to blend with sur
rounding trees. Designs for the
100x36 structure were made by
architect Lyle Bartholomew, and
the. lot was purchased by money
from the Methodist Church's "For

DETROIT, Mich, (ft The OO
United Auto Workers Saturuday
officially sanctioned a strike of
140,000 Ford Motor Co. employes
anytime . after next Wednesday
midnight 4 ' i
The action was taken in the face
of a suggestion by company Presi
dent Henry Ford II that the union
reconsider its flat rejection of
Ford's stock purchase 'package
of'er of Thursday. (
Said UAW President Walter Reu
ther: I
"As of the present time it will
require a considerable change in
the company's attitude to avert
a strike."
Reuther charged there was "ob-
ivious collusion" between Ford and
j General Motors in standing firm
to date against the union demand
for a guaranteed annual wage.
The union's strike sanction came
from the UAW international execu
tive board, made up of Reuther
and other top officers and regional
directors. - i
The board unanimously- . ap
proved a request for strike author
ity from the union's national Ford
council 140 union representatives
from Ford plants around the coun
try. . The council unanimously reject
ed the Ford offer, previously
turned down by the UA W's Ford
negotiating committee soon after
it was placed on the bargaining
table. General Motors gave the un
ion a similar offer a week ago and
that, too, apparently has been re
jected. 1
