U.S. Policies Sway East Attitude, Speaker Says
"Each country in the Far East sees the United States according to how its policies and actions affect the country," Albert Ravenholt, American Universities Field Staff speaker currently lecturing here, said yesterday.
Far Eastern countries develop different attitudes toward the United States, "depending on what the consequences of our decisions are for them," Mr. Ravenholt said. "The Philippines have a long association with and a great deal of understanding for our country," he said, adding that within area there is more friendship than in any other Far Eastern country.
Communist Chinese, on the other hand, "are convinced by their interpretation of history that the United States represents destruction for them," the AUFS speaker continued. No Far Eastern country not affected by the U.S., Mr. Ravenholt said, "because we have become deeply involved in their internal affairs."
Examples of our involvement, he illustrated, are the military aid programs, and the tie between U.S. markets and Far Eastern economy. The U.S. military aid programs are important factors in Korea, Japan, Formosa, the Philippines, Indochina, and Siam, Mr. Ravenholt said.
Our decisions as to the price of rubber have a profound influence on the economies of Asiatic countries which produce exports for the American market. Mr. Ravenholt explained.
Living conditions are a subsistence level in China, Mr. Ravenholt said. In the central and southern portions rice is the chief food crop, but northern Chinese eat millet, although quantities of wheat are produced. The wheat is exported by the Communist government.
Sugar is the leading export in the Philippines, the AUFS speaker said, and coconut products and hemp are also important. Internal production centers around rice and corn for food, he said.
Education in China has been reorganized to conform to the Soviet pattern and Communist Chinese objectives, the speaker said. "For example, Russian has become the chief foreign language, and translated Russian texts are being used. An effort is being made toward extended primary education, but education is about as effective as it has always been, though the old universities have been broken up." he said.
"A powerful, unified China has developed, and the country has never been so efficiently organized," Mr. Ravenholt said, "since the American government has been in existence. Modern China is more powerful than that nation has been since the reigns of Kang Hsi and Chien Lung, rulers during the early Manchu dynasty," the speaker said.
Three main elements have been used by the Communists in such areas of the Far East as Indochina, the speaker said. An attempt has been made "to re-create the ancient imperial pattern of Chinese domination in Far East," he explained that China means "middle kingdom."
Secondly, Mr. Ravenholt said, the Chinese Communists see themselves as the "bearers of the new revolutionary message" of Communism for Asia. The third point which he mentioned was the attempt which the Chinese Communists are making to protect the large Chinese minorities in other Asiatic countries.
Pope Looking Well at Work
Vatican City —(U.P.)— Pope Pius XII today presided over a special meeting of the Sacred Congregation of Rites for the first time since he fell ill with a stomach allment last January.
Today's meeting was held on the second floor of the Apostolic palace in the presence of nine cardinals and members of the congregation. Cardinals who attended the ceremony said the 78-year-old Pontiff looked well and was in excellent spirits.

Party Fights Spice Elections In Five States
Primay elections were held today in New Mexico, Indiana, Ohio, Alabama, and Florida with intra-party factional figures coming to a showdown in several states.
By UNITED PRESS
All of the primaries featured strictly local issues.
In Ohio and Indiana, the primaries offered voters a chance to express themselves regarding rival Republican groups feuding for party control.
For the first time in history, all New Mexico polling places offered voters booths in which they could mark their ballots in secret.
Other information on the primaries:
Indiana — Balloting featured a GOP factional fight in which Gov. George N. Craig wrangled for party control with the state's two U.S. senators, Homer Capehart and William Jenner. The state's 10 Republican and one Democratic congressmen all sought renomination with six unopposed.
Ohio — Interest centered in the GOP race to name a candidate to succeed the late Sen. Robert A. Taff. Gov. Frank J. Lausche, had no primary opposition in his bid for a fifth term. All of the state's congressmen — 16 Republicans, six Democrats, and one independent—expected to win renomination.
Florida—Interest centered on the Democratic gubernatorial nomination which is tantamount to election. Acting Gov. Charlie Johns, elevated when Gov. Dan McCarty died in office, was trying to win the two-year remainder of McCarty's term.
Alabama — A moderately-large turnout of voters was expected in view of a comeback attempt by former Gov. James E. "Kissin" Jim' Folsom against six other Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls.

Russian Scientists Believe They've Found Origin of Life
London—(U.P.)—Russian scientists think they have solved the
of the origin of life on this planet.
They also believe they have proved there is vegetation on the planet Mars—as a first step towards determining whether there is a higher form of life there as well.
They feel further they may be on the verge of an important discovery relating to cancer control.
These and other subjects of Soviet research were explained today in a Soviet embassy publication "New Paths of Soviet Science," which not only gave a fascinating insight into the state of science in Russia but was significantly less critical of western science than usual.
There were only a couple of digs at the "materialist" science on this
side of the Iron Curtain and only one example to show that Moscow knows how to make even scientists toe the dialectical mark.
The Soviet's theory on the origin of life is this:
