OREGON Beer, Art Typify Munich as Center of Southern Germany By RALPH VILLERS United Pratt International Munich, Germany - lUPli t This ciipilal of warm and friendly Bavaria can turn out to be one of the surprise genu of a visit to Germany, or to Europe, for that matter. Surprise number one is its size more than 1.1 million persons. To someone across the Atlantic, it is easy to think of Munich as one of those small picture postcard towns that is known so well because of its continual thrust into history. And for those familiar with the name Munich only throuKh its best - known ex port to the United States its beer it might be hard to envision this metropolis as anything more than a common ROBERT ROSS Named Vice Pretident Ross Becomes VP Of Banking Firm The election of Robert C.

B. Culver. New York - IUI'11 - Twenty five years ago, a preacher and a psychiatrist met at a par ty, fell into conversation, and hatched a radical idea. The preacher was the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, pas tor of Marble Collegiate church. The psychiatrist was Dr. Smiley Blanton, distin guished pupil of Sigmund Freud. Their radical idea was to declare a truce in the cold war between psychiatry and religion. At that time, Freud was still alive, and was an out spoken critic of organized re ligion. Clergymen tended to view psychoanalysis as an in vention of the devil. Dr. Peale and Dr. Blanton decided that this conflict was unnecessary, and stemmed largely from mutual misun dcrstanding. They agreed that pastors, to whom many emotionally disturbed people turn first for help, could do a much better job of counsel ing if they were acquainted with some of the insights of psychiatry. Foundation Emerges From this chance conver sation emerged the American Foundation of Religion and Psychiatry, which is celebrat ing its 25th anniversary this fall. The foundation has become one of the largest voluntary psychiatric out-patient facil ities in the United States. At its headquarters clinic in New York (3 West 2!Mh St.), an In tcrfaith staff nf Christian and Jewish clergymen, psychia trists and psychologists sees nearly 401) patients a week. It provides a wide range of serv ices individual or group therapy for the emotionally disturbed, marital counseling and child guidance. Trains Clergymen In recent years the founda tion has placed increasing em phasis on training clergymen to provide counseling services in their home parishes, or in hospitals, prisons and other Institutions. Training pro grams range from a weekly clinic for New York area clergy to 12-week summer courses for students from all parts of the country. A few students are accepted annual ly for an intensive three-year course in religio-psychialric counseling. Through these training pro grams, the foundation hopes to serve as a "seedbed" for similar out-patient clinics in many American cities. Graduates of the founda tion's program have already set up counseling services in St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, San Diego, Calif., and San Antonio, Tex. Program To Expand The Rev. Arthur M. Tingue, executive director of the foun dation, said the training pro gram for pastors will be ex panded as funds permit. The foundation currently oper ates on a budget of nearly $400,000 a year, underwrit ten by patients' fees, individ ual contributions and gifts from private foundations. W. Clement Stone, wealthy Chi cago philanthropist, is the foundation's board chairman. Dr. Blanton, an Episcopal layman, is still serving as di rector of the foundation. He believes that the "truce" be tween psychiatry and religion, which he and Dr. Peale set out to establish in 19H7, has turned into a stable peace. "It is now generally con ceded," he said, "that min isters need to know something of depth psychology in order that they may help people. At least 40 per cent of all people in trouble go to their ministers for help. "In the last 80 years, a whole new science of human behavior has been discovered. which helps us to understand people and to help them change their behavior when they so desire. It is impor tant that ministers should be armed with this new knowledge."

Theatre Troupe Offers Chance To Young Playwrights, Actors By RICK DU BHOW United Pren International Hollywood - UWH - Remem ber Ihosn old movie musicals In which a troupe of youne actors, without funds but full nf spirit, miraculously con verted a barn - - or something of the sort - - Into a theatre no they could perform? If you watch the old films on television, you know that iiomeone like Mickey Rooncy would alternately be drill tnc chorus jirls and telling everybody "(Ice, K-tiK. we can rln II if you'll only slick it oul." And someone like Judy ('ailand would be around mooning over him. Well, don't launh. A rea sonable facsimile of the abor has occurred. Where? In Hol lywood, of course. No Rooney Around There is no Rooncy around or C'.arlaud, and there is no Hollywood ending - - with the profits saving the old fami ly plantation or the troupe winning a shot at Broadway. FUit an old, deserted lull has been converted into a gleam ing little Ihcalre called "Broadway West" IhrnugU Ihc sheer hard manual work, devotion and soliciting of op erating fixtures by a band of determined aitois. Il is as close to theatrical idealism as you can i;ct. No one is paid. No admission is charged. The audience seat ing limit is about 45. And at tendance is by invitation only: A careful mailing list of persons in the business has been compikd, and those who turn up for the performances sec a talent showcase in ac tion. The entire troups. about 15 In number, is professional, headed by actress Joan Mar shall, who formerly co-starred in the "Hold Venture" printers even constructed an elegant chandelier. which qualifies for any ballroom. "The idea started about six years ago," said Miss Mar shall. "A group of actors fig ured that if you want to at tend small theatre, you should not get the feeling you're in the back of a barn or sitting on n box.

But just as its beer is a classic of the brewer's art gushed forth from seven gi ant breweries and much loved in Germany, as well as abroad Munich also is the cultural center of southern Germany. By day there arc more than enough museums, artj galler ies and treasures to occupy the culturally minded tourist for weeks. By night, its mam moth beer halls, such as the famed Ilafbrauraus or the Mathaser, are alive with friendly people, sitting at big tables and snaking in both the music of Bavarian bands and light or dark beer from full-liter stone mugs. A stranger is always wel come to sit down in an emp ty seal, and more often than not the natives will try to communicate, if only by means of a "prosit" toast. Almost as famous as the beer, are the Munich white sausages and the long accordion-cut white radishes, lib erally laced with salt, that go with the drink. Munich, too, is the home of probably the world's big gest "beer bust," the Oklober- lest, which runs for just over two weeks beginning in late September. The towering statue of "Bavaria," the sym bol of this southern state, then looks down onto a sprawling fair set up on the Theresienwie.se which attracts hundreds nf thousands oi vis itors every year. A great deal of Munich was destroyed in World War II, but many of its historic build ings were either spared or have been restored. The richest and most star tling rococo theater to be seen anywhere the Resi dence Theater designed by Francois Cuvillies is one of the city's irreplacablc treasurers that escaped war damage because the unbeliev able ornate wood carved pan els were removed and stored. Now replaced, the crimson, gold and white of this four tiered opera house (with its wood-carved drapes that look every bit like velvet), is again delighting even people who are unimpressed normally by intricate design work. Rococo Heaven Munich is a rococo heaven. On the outskirts of the city stands Nymphenburg, the onetime summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria, and its adjacent buildings, including Amalienburg, which has been labeled the most perfect ex pression of German rococo art. The main palace with its endless gold work, frescoes and paintings serves to pre pare the visitor for Amalien burg, set a short walk away through a park such as is seen otherwise only in the movies. Amalienburg, once a hunting lodge, holds the viewer en tranced in its silver and blue trimmed Hall of Mirrors and its silver and yellow decorat ed Hunting Room, and even in the glazed tile kitchen, where the tiles depict reli gious scenes. Museums range from the German Museum of Science and Technology, a sprawling collection of buildings on an island in the Isar river in which the visitor must walk 6 miles just to see all the exhibits, to the Alte Pinako thek, one of the leading art galleries of Germany with its collection of 14th to 18th cen tury European paintings. Even the Town hall collects crowds, especially at 11 a.m. each day when the glocken spiel comes alive, and bright ly colored figures move to the sound of the bells in the neo-gothic tower.
