That the program, with the
theme "The Capital Goes to

elsewhere in the country seems
assured. Immediately after the
local half-hour television show
a similar program under the
same auspices was tape-record-

over the Nation.

"After your stock market

Cicognoni Celebrates 18th Year
As PopoI Envoy and as Archbishop

The Most Rev. Amleto Gio-
vanni Cicognani. Pope Plus
personal representative in the
United States. marked a double
anniversary today.
1t was the prelate's silver
jubilee as Apostolic Delegate
to this country and the 25th
anniversary of his elevation to
archbishop.
Now rs, the gray-haired,
soft-spoken archbishop OBJ
served the occasion modestly.
He said the mass at 6 O'Clock
this morning "as ] do every
day." and later celebrated the
annual st. Patrick's Day Mass
at st. sPatrick's Church.
One Of the busiest ENJOYS in
Washington, Archbishop Cicog-
mani lives on Embassy Row.
Both his office and his resi-
dence are in the three-story
Italian Renaissance building
on Massachusetts, avenue at
Thirty fourth street NV. near
the British Embassy.
Not in Diplomatic Corps
But the archbishop is not a
member of the diplomatic
corps Of the Holy See. He is
accredited not to the United
States, but to the Roman Cath
Ollie hierarchy Of this country.
The sixth prelate to head the
Apostolic Delegation since it
was established in 1893, he has
served longer than any Of his
predecessors. Each Of the five
previous delegates later was
made q cardinal.
BY virtue of his Office, Arch
bishop Cicognani takes prece-
dence over all the Nations
222 Catholic prelates except the
-four cardinals. In his Is years
here, he has Travelled more ex-
tensively than any other pre-
late ever to come to this coun-
try from abroad.

many of the smaller ones and
every diocese in the United
States" he said today with a
twinkle in his eye. After all,
we priests are like soldiers, we
have to obey, and my mission
is to the entire country"
In his IS years, the arch
bishop has seen the Roman
catholic population of this
country grow from 20 million
to more than "a million, and
the number of parishes increase
from 1887 to 16,345. The 16
archbishops and 102 bishops of
rs years ago have increased to
IS archbiShops and 1877 bishops.
Personally. I have been very
happy here" the archbishop
said. "Of course, it is only
natural that sometimes one
feels the distance he is removed
from his home and country"
Brilliant Administrator
A native Of Brisighella, Italy,
the papal delegate made a bril-
liant record in the Vatican's
administrative Offices. He is a
doctor Of theology, philosophy
and canon and Roman law.

know the economic screws are
on. Both types of crime are
the work Of non-professional
criminals"
Said 1t. David Higgins, head
Of the check and fraud squad
More and more people are
finding themselves short of
money. AS a result, the number
of worthless checks coming into
this Office gets larger all the
time. We're getting rubber
checks from amateurs, pro-
fessionals and in betweens
We're not just busy, we're
swamped."
Trademarks Of Amateurs

of the amateur criminal now
at work:
ut just wouldn't occur te

a telephone coin box-a pro-
feSsional regards such a jot
as a dangerous waste Of time
The people who do it simply
want money and that seems
to them like a good way OF
getting it,"
"As for the housebreakings
you can see the hand of the
amateur at work again. The
routine goes something like
this:
1.-THE burglar goes up to the
door when he's fairly sure
everyone is at work. Then he
rings the bell, and if anyone
answers, he asks for a fictitious
person and goes away. But il
no ones home, he breaks in
and starts ransacking the
place.
