WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
KERRY DRAKE
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

A few weeks ago we men
toned the origin of the word
"pie" in this space. Some au-
thorities label the word "ori-
gin obscure" but most regard
1t as a shortened form of
"magpie." Since the magpie is
well known as a collector of
odds and ends, the word
seemed appropriate to the
countrymen of Old England
whose first pies were a dubi-
Gus miscellany of vegetables
and meat - rather like what
we would call a stew under a
crust.

a prodigious memory, he tells

Answer: No, though this
formulation is much heard in

conversation of uneducated
people. The correct form is
simply: Were still a long

At least 500 representatives
Of the United House of Prayer
for ALI People met in a day
long session yesterday without
electing a bishop to succeed
the late Charles M. (Sweet
Daddy Grace.
The sessions were conducted
in the auditorium of the Ma
Sonice Temple at 10th and u
streets NV. under a U. S. Dis
trict Court order.
The delegates recessed short
ly after 8 pm, and were sched-
uled to resume considerations
this morning, having apparent
ly failed to begin balloting.
They spent the whole day try
ing to resolve a dispute over
seating Of delegates.
During a recess yesterday
afternoon at the delegates
meeting, William B. Bryant.
Washington attorney and
court-appointed receiver of the
church, said he would recess
the session until today if a
successor could not be named
in the one day. Br. Bryant was
not available for comment aft
er the meeting ended last night.
The sessions were closed to
the press and also to several
hundred boosters of favorite
candidates who milled about
the hallway and on the side
walks outside the building.
Only official delegates with the
necessary badges were admit
ted to the meeting hall.
1t was learned from church
members outside the audito-
rum that chairs had been ar
ranged for SIT officials dele
gates. but when the session be-
gan there were almost another
100 persons claiming to be
delegates, too. Thus, it became
necessary for the session to
qualify delegates. VI

Carnival Aspect
The neighborhood surround
ing the Masonic building had
a carnival-like air. The faith

bearing a likeness of the late

gathered in knots in the lobby

3 Are Close for Peru Presidency,
Congress Nay Have to Decide

LIMA, June II (AP)-Three
leading candidates in Peru's
presidential race were closely
punched today in partial, I'M
official early returns.
Early indications were that
the new Congress might have
to elect the nations chief
executive from the leading trio
of contenders. None appeared
headed for the required "a per
cent Of the valid votes.
An early trend favoring
former Dictator Manuel A..
Odria seemed checked in post
midnight tabulations by news
papers and radio and televi-
sion stations.
Official returns are not ex-
pected before June 10, after
the national electoral jury
completes q scrutiny of the
ballots.
Confusion Over Race
Since there are hardly any
nonpartisan factions in the
country, the election picture in
its early stages was one of con-
fusion.
The newest trend punched
Gen. Odria with Fernando Be-
launde Terry of the leftist Pop
ular Action Party and Victor
Raul Haya de Ia Tore of the
Ileft-center Apra Party. The four
other presidential candidates
were clearly out of the running.
The newspaper La Prensa,
which gave some backing to
/ Mr.. Haya de la Tore, reported
q change in an early trend
favoring Gen. Odria. 1t re-
ported results from 1,617 Of
the nations more than 10000
voting districts yielded 74,429
votes for Mr.. Haya, 1856 for
Gen. Odria and $3.50 for Mr..
Belaunde. The total was rough
ly IL per cent of an anticipated
total Of about II million.
The newspaper FL Concrete
said its tabulations favored
Gen. Odria with Mr.. BelaunGe
and Mr.. Haya behind in that
order. FL Comerico backed
Gen. Odria and violently OPP
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-11

The picture in the interior
was hazy. In ancient Cuzco, a
pro- Communist stronghold, Mr..
Belaunde was ahead on most
unofficial tabulations. During
the campaign, Mr.. Haya's Apra
Party said that both Gen.
Odrias' and Mr.. Belaunde's fac
lions were heavily infiltrated
with Communists who were de-
termined to keep Apra out of
power.
Seven Candidates
Seven candidates in all
sought to succeed incumbent
President Manuel Prado for the
six-year term. Under the con-
Stitution, Gen. Prado was
barred from seeking another
term. Also at stake were the
Senate seats and the 1874 seats
in the Chamber of Deputies.
To win the presidency, a
candidate must get more than
one-third Of the popular vote.
If none does. the new Congress
will choose from the three top
runners July %.
Gen. Odria and Mr.. Belaunde

warned during the campaign
that there would be civil war
or revolution if fraud is I'M
covered in the voting. Both
have accused Mr.. Haya of try
ing to win with fraudulent
registrations.
Mr.. Haya, reported to have
the secret backing of President
Prado. accused his opponent of
having Communist backing.
Gen. Odria and Mr.. Belaunde
countered with the charge that
Mr.. Haya's anti-Communist
posture was spurious.
