reinstatement that Bishop keane former
~ rector Of the Catholic university ut
Washington, is to be appointed titul2g
archbishop cardinal, and added that ali
forecasts as to Bishop Keanes successor
are premature as the list of candidates

explained the only suggestion Of this
character has come from the adherentz
TO it. In conclusion the cardinal said
that the report that Archbishop Iarti-
