Sheen of New York and discussion with the press on the crisis in his country. The 66-year-old archbishop firmly denied the Roman Catholic Church is involved in alleged persecution of Buddhists, maintaining that Communists and other agitators are using the situation to their advantage. He disclaimed reports that his visit had political implications or that he was seeking U.S. Catholic hierarchy intervention with U.S. governmental authorities to ease relations with the Diem regime. His talk with Bishop Sheen, he said, was confined to missionary matters. The South Vietnamese archbishop was unable to meet with Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who was out of the city. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-9B-63-NBM)

Title: "Luther" comes to Broadway.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-29932 ‘LUTHER’ COMES TO BROADWAY NEW YORK -- A dramatization of the life and personal trials of the Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther, opened on Broadway and appeared destined to have a long run. Critics generally hailed the play, by England’s John Osborne, as a thoughtful and provocative study of the man whose rebellion against the established Church touched off irrevocable change in the religious world. Starring in the production (bottom photo) is Albert Finney in the role of Luther, who also played the part in the long-running London production. With the Reformer (above) is John Moffat as Cajetan, Cardinal of San Sisto, who attempts to persuade Luther to retract his criticisms of the Church.
