and regret" to Ambassador Di-
allo Tell of Guinea and ordered
an investigation of the incident.
The police gave this account:

CoIorfuI Dinner

, Originality, imagination and
careful planning characterized
the dinner honoring DR.. and
Mrs. Edward Hughes Pruden
on their 25th anniversary with
First Baptist Church.
The theme was early Merrie
England, and the fellowship
hall carried out the motif. The
tables were lit by candles. Holly
and greens were strewn on
them. A trumpet blast heralded
each new course and event. Two
cute girls dressed as court jest
ers pirouetted down the aisles
following the heralds and hale
hardiers.
High point came when the
Madrigal Singers, dressed in
the colorful costumes of the
period, marched singing Deck
the Halls" through the aisles
to the stage. Here they sat
around a long table and sang
English, German, Welsh, Czech
oslovakian, Spanish and French
rnadrigals.
Then the group repeated
their opeing song as they left

the hall. The performance lifted
the entire tribute to DR.. Pruden
on his 25th anniversary as pas
tor of First Baptist Church out
of the routine of such events
into a fanciful and enjoyable
affair.
John j. Boushka, a trustee
Of the church in charge of
selling tickets, said once the
news got around the paste
boards went rapidly.
Three weeks before the din
ner a church member asked
him for three tickets. Mr..
Boushka told her to see him that
Sunday. She failed to do so,
and when she called for tickets
the following week they were
all gone.
Another unusual touch was
having host and hostess at
each table. 1t gave men,
Der guests a feeling of init
macy with the proceedings they
otherwise rarely attain. Mrs.
Grover Carr, official social
chairman of the church, was in
charge of this feature.

actual beginning of the litur-
gical year. 1t does lead up to
the celebration of Christmas,
but the date is determined by
whatever Sunday is nearest to
st. Andrews Day. That Saints
feast day is observed univer-
sally on November 80.
Because St. Andrew was the
first enrolled disciple Of Jesus
Christ, his feast day marks the
beginning of the church year.
Ordinarily, the Sunday nearest
to st. Andrews Day is the
forth Sunday before Christmas,
but this is not necessarily so.

CluD luncheon. Here, in halt
ing but precise English, he
showed the adroitness, humor
and keen perception that made
him such a great representative
Of the Roman Catholic Church
in the Nations Capital.
John Cosgrove, president Of
the National Press Club, in in
Producing the cardinal told how
a barely recognizable portrait
OF the then Apostolic Delegate
had been painted and was being
presented to him.
1T is horrible" Cardinal Ci-
cognani exclaimed.
"A friend suggested that he
give the portrait away.
II would not foist it upon
anyone" he said. The church
leader solved the touchy prob
lem by giving the picture to
a, home for the blind.
Questions ranging over many
areas affecting the Catholic
Church produced answers re-
vealing the cardinals adroit-
ness in avoiding those he did
not wish to discuss, his
strength of conviction on some
issues and his broad approach
to certain international prob
lens.
Answers Many Queries
The following were among
them:
Is there a possibility Of a
Vatican concordat with Soviet
Russia? I'VE have no rela-
tions with Russia"
/ Did Pope John XIII reply
tp birthday greetings sent to
him by Premier Khrushchev?
That did not pass through my
desk"
Would the Roman Catholic
Chur ch consider theological
compromise with Protestants in
the interest of Christianity ?
'Never ideologically. In prac-
tical life we like to act with
charity. About truth we do not
compromise"
Should the United States give
some of its surplus food to
Communist China?" It is good
to feed those who need food
and that applies to China"
. Cardinal Cicognani also told
the gathering that Pope John
would announce the exact date
of the Forthcoming Ecumenical
Council before Christmas. Ear
lier this year the Vatican said
the meeting would not be held
before December 8, 1862, the
Feast of the Immaculate Con-
ception. The probability is that
the historic event will not be
held until early 1863.
