...play a year regularly. The last was Pigeons & People, a mad comedy which is now on the road. He writes his plays as rehearsals progress, pacing up & down the aisle dictating to a secretary and the actors. He moves about among the cast like a white-polled patriarch, stroking a girl's hair, giving an actor's arm a friendly squeeze. They love it. His motions are all deliberate, but even in his gravity there is a puckishness which matches the amused expression in his half-closed eyes...
Cinema propaganda for peace was urged by Professor Francis J. Onderdonk of the University of Michigan. More exciting was young Yoshiaki Fukuda, head of Japan's Konkokyo (Shinto) sect (not to be confused with the Tenrikyo sect, whose Patriarch Shozen Nakayama, also at the Parliament, talked about the sect's foundress, his great-grandmother-TIME, Aug. 28). Shintoist Fukuda flayed as "sentimental" any pacifism which ignores "hindrances"-such as Japan's need for territory. Shintoist Fukuda, like Publisher William Randolph Hearst (see p. 21) and members of last fortnight's Banff conference, admitted war between Japan...
Officially the Irak Government blamed the crisis not on Rebel Yaku but on the Assyrian Patriarch Mar Shimun, who was deported last week with his father and brother. At once the British Government offered these exiles asylum on the Island of Cyprus to which they flew in a British R.A.F. plane and demanded that King Feisal stay in Bagdad to punish the guilty - whether Christian or Mohammedan.

...Mary Baker Eddy had been possessed by a God, and if the God now resided in her great-grandson, that young man might resemble a Japanese young man who last week was journeying exuberantly through the U.S. Shozen Nakayama, 28, is Patriarch of Tenrikyo, a Shinto sect claiming 5,000,000 followers throughout the world. Shinto ("The Way of the Gods") is Japan's indigenous religion, a ceremonial system of nature-worship and ancestor-worship. It contains little of theology save belief in immortality, but acquired a religious guise during its long subordination to Buddhism. There are two forms...
...Patriarch Nakayama & party heartily enjoy the U.S., especially relishing strawberry ice cream, roast beef and fried chicken but regretting the lack of good boiled rice. The Patriarch greatly desired to go to Chicago by airplane but his five secretaries put their feet down. "Suppose you crashed?" said they. In Manhattan Patriarch Nakayama thrice visited the Empire State Building. He admired St. Patrick's Cathedral because he believes Tenrikyo has much in common with Roman Catholicism - its ritual is complicated and he as Patriarch wears elaborate robes. (But Tenrikyo includes rhythmic dances, camp-meetings.) One of Japan's best...
