In Berlin, the 410-foot steeple of
ancient Georgenkirche (St. Georges

between church and state in Russian

Communists said the steeple had
been weakened by bombings during

make way for a larger Alexander

Church authorities presented ex-

undamaged and could safely stand.
They wanted to install a wedding and

LONDON (ANP)- The affair

ing to present an ugly aspect. Here
is a reproduction from the leader
column of the STAR, a promin-
ent London evening paper:
each new government state
ment onthe Seretse case shows Of
ficialdom in a worse light than be-
fore. No one has ever suggested
that Seretse has done anything il
legal. But the Commonwealth Re-
lations office now talks about him
as though he was a criminal on
license. Before he can see his
wife at Serowe they must have
necessary assurances regarding
his conduct and behaviour" If he
is allowed to go into the reserve
considerably and has, in general,
received wider community sup
port.
