service to Baltimore, Norfolk and

Such committing service is
being considered by Capt.
Charles Cover. director of all
helicopter operations for Ma

Other Points Considered.
It also was pointed out that
Arcola and Quantico, Va, and
other towns in that State, as
well as such places as Relay,
Ellicott City, Riverdale and Col

port, in Maryland, would be con-
sidered as points to be serviced.
There is more, than enough
traffic to warrant such service"
Capt. Cover explained. We've
been thinking about helicopter

and I think the Civil Aeronau-

| Italian Church feud.
! sy .he Assoeiufed Press

NAPLES, Italy, Nov. 24.-An
Italian Roman Catholic priest
and an American Assemblies of
God minister shook hands In
court yesterday and ended q
long bitter controversy.
The handshake was the final
act in a legal fight that resulted
in libel charges being filed
against the Rev. Gennaro Caro-
tenuto, pastor Of Pompeii,s
Catholic churches.
The charges were preferred BY
the Rev. Joseph lGeno. 26. AS
semblies Of God minister from
Bridgeton, N. j.. and Sebastian
Vangone, an Italian policeman.
The first hearing in the case was
held last July ~.
Charge Withdrawn.
Yesterday, after many post
ponements and conferences be-
tween lawyers for the COM
plainant and the defendant, the
charge against the priest was
withdrawn.
The development was another
step in the improved situation Of
the Assemblies Of God in Italy,
and indirectly of all Protestant
sects, since November II. On
that date the State Council,
Italy's highest magistracy, or
dered the Interior Ministry to
act upon a formal petition of the
Assemblies Of God churches In
Italy for legal recognition. This
would give the church freedom
from taxes and the right to hold
services without first getting po-
lice permission.

torney who represented both the,
Assemblies Of God in their appeal.
for recognition and MIR. Geno In
yesterdays action, said the con-
ciliation restored religious peace
in nearby Pompeii.
The Catholic priest shook
hands with the American evan
gelist and with Mr.. Vangone, who
is a Protestant.
Police Quash Charge.
A second charge of libel pre-
ferred by police authorities
against the priest for posting of
church bulletins was also, with
drawn. DR.. Francesca Farina,
court judge. ruled that posting
Of the bulletin on church prop
erty did not constitute q crime.
The trouble between the Evan
gelical minister and the Catholic,
priest began soon after the
Americans arrival at Pompeii in
January, this year.
The priest posted church bulle-
tins attacking the Evangelist's
presence in Pompeii and also
criticized the policeman. who
attended Assemblies of God serv-
ices in Pompeii.
The attack then was taken UP
by residents of Pompeii, who
printed and distributed PAM
phlets against the Evangelist.
