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

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

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

mooning over him.
Well, don't launh. A rea

No Rooney Around
There is no Rooncy around

town, if you hold to the be
lief that beer is the drink of
the common man.
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.
