archbishop of the St. Louis Catholic diocese, consecrated Bishop Gottwald as titular Bishop of Cedamusa and an auxiliary bishop of the St. Louis diocese. Thirty-five archbishops, bishops and abbots from 14 states attended the ceremony at the cathedral, where Bishop Gottwald was ordained to the priesthood 21 years ago. Principals in Ceremony.

Cardinal Ritter was assisted in the ceremony by Bishop John P. Cody of the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese and coadjutor Bishop Leo C. Byrne of Wichita, both formerly of St. Louis.

Bishop Cody served as senior co-consecrator, and Bishop Byrne, whom Bishop Gottwald succeeds as an auxiliary bishop here, was junior co-consecrator. Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau diocese, another former St. Louisan, delivered the sermon. At 9:30 a.m.

a procession of the principals, visiting prelates and other members of the clergy entered the cathedral. The ceremony began after Cardinal Ritter, Bishops Cody and Byrne and Bishop-elect Gottwald and their attendants assembled in the sanctuary. Cardinal Ritter sat facing the congregation and the new bishop and co-consccra-tors faced the Cardinal. Details of Ceremony. Then began the Apostolic Mandate, the formal request made to the Cardinal for permission to proceed with the consecration.

When permission was granted, Cardinal Ritter questioned the episcopal candidate according to the formula set down in the Pontificate, the liturgical book which contains the ritual of consecration. After the examination, Bishop Gottwald proceeded to a tem-i jPrar.V altar set up on the epistle 'SKIP rlr rnp altar uihnrn ha HIIUI "IHIV III. celebrated Solemn High Mass at the same time as Cardinal Ritter at the main altar. The two ceiebrations continued i until after the Gradual prayer. I Then the Mass was interrupted for resumption of consecra tion.

Bishop Gottwald lay prostrate before the altar, then arose and underwent the imposition of hands or the ritual which signified his reception of the Holy Spirit. Cardinal Ritter and the America programs would be beamed in many languages toward North Atrica, the Arab lorld and as far eastward as Soviet Central Asia. We now lag woefully in this vast Afro-Asian area which our diplomacy courts. In numbers of 1 a nguages, numbers of hours broadcast and strength of Sulzberger emissions we come far behind Russia, Communist China and the United Arab Republic. We have even ceased Persian pro-prams to Iran for the reason that our signal was too weak.

Hitherto our efforts in this region have defended largely on a relay station in Tangier, Moroc co, and on a radio ship called (the "Courier" anchored off the Greek island of Rhodes. Tangier is far away for the task. Our lease expires in December, 1963, and relations are cooling. Therefore it is not considered worth building a more powerful installation. Transmission from the "courier" has also been inadequate.

Stations in Greece. The State Department, acting 'on behalf of the U.S. Information Agency, is engaged in talks with Italy, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus in an effort to rectify the situation. From Rome we hope to obtain rights to broadcast from Sardinia. From Turkey we hope to obtain similar rights in Adana and, perhaps, at another station further to the north and beamed at the Soviet Caucasus, and Central Asia.

No agreement on this can be expected until after the October elections. We have already arranged with Greece to transfer equipment from the "Courier" to Rhodes itself and we are seeking rights to construct another Installation, possibly at Sa lonika.

DR. FRANK BUCHMAN two co-consecrators placed their hands on the head of the candidate. Bishop Gottwald's head and hands were then anointed by the consecrator, who presented him with his symbols of office the crozier and ring. Following the sermon, the Mass continued with additional ceremonies signifying the various powers and authority the prelate will have. Afler tne ceremony, Bishop Gottwald blessed the congregation and gave an address.

This was followed by the recessional. Several priests, including the new prelate's brother, the Rev. Joseph L. Gottwald, participated in the ceremony in various capacities. Father Gottwald is pastor of Holy Redeemer Church, Webster Groves.

A luneheon in honor of Bishop Gottwald was held at the Norwood Country Club for the clergy. In addition to the bishops and abbots, more than 250 mon-signors and other priests attended. Toastmaster was the Rev. Joseph F. Ilorenkamp, a classmate of the new bishop and pastor of St.

It is not Mr. Porter's best score, but it has several good songs in it and is consistently pleasant. The show was attended by the largest opening night crowd of the season, 11,009 persons. CECIL H. PURTLE FUNERAL SERVICES TO BE TOMORROW Funeral services for Cecil H.

Smith Doctor Bill Wood Second Keith Curtli Proaecutor Walter Richardson By MYLETSTANDISH Cole Porter's "Can-Can," given its second production by the Municipal Opera last night, was again a lively and amusing show. Although in a couple of aspects it wasn't so good as the brilliant 1957 production, it had to be first-rate with Dolores Gray and Norwood Smith again carrying it. As for Miss Gray as La Mome Pistacne, proprietor of a low Montmartre cabaret where the sinful can-can was danced, shocking even the Paris of 1893, the "C'est Magnifique," which she and Mr. Smth sing, applies to her in spades.

She is a great performer. Swaggering in her skin-tight gowns, saucy, insolent and brassy at times, cooing and clinging with seductive warmth at others, she had a sure comedy sense. It was one of the most vivid characterizations seen in Forest Park and she dominated the stage. Her warm and Vital voice ranged from throbbing cello tones and purring silken caresses of notes to clangorous climaxes in "C'est Magnifique" and "Allez Vous-en." She was hard and bright and cynical in "Never Give Anything Away," a rather cheap song, yet was tender and moving with her husky "I Love Paris," sung again before a repetition of Paul Mc-Guire's beautiful set of the rooftops of Paris against a softly awakpninr skv. As Jud.qe Anstide Forestier, the reforming jurist who tries to enforce the law aaainst her and ends up joining her, Smith had the acting strength, sureness and force of personality, and also the vibrant and ringing baritone, to stand with her.

He was able to make himself the puritanical foil without overdoing it, and realistically carry off his change to a more warm and compassionate outlook. His voice got full play in "I Am in Love" and "It's All Right With Me," which he made sound better than they probably are. In the role of Boris, the timid Bulgarian sculptor, Jack Gilford didn't have the comic ingenuity that Hans Conried showed in the first production. He didn't seem able to grasp the role in the first act. He improved later, and the rooftop duel scene with the haughty critic Jussac was funny.

"Come Along With Me," the duet of Boris and Jussac, in which the critic tries to entice away the sculptor's girl, did not reach its jaunty comedy possibilities. Edmund Lyndeck played Jussac. Robert Eckles, Leonard Elliott and F. J. O'Neil were the other Bohemians, Theo-pile, Etienne and Hercule.

The book is by Abe Burrows and there is a lot of humor in it. Mara Lynn, as Claudine, the dancing girl, was a pert, long-legged creature with an intriguing personality, and danced well, with Ray Kirchner opposite her. The burlesque Apacht dance and the satirical Garden of Eden fling were well-done in the manner of the original choreography of Michael Kidd. The first can-can, however, had been toned down quite a bit from CENTER- 8500 BTU "METROPOLITAN" NEW "INSTA MOUNT" ROLLS OUT WEATHERTIGHT Removes more than 8 gallons of moisture per day.

It advocated character improvement as the first step toward an ideal society.

Advocates of Moral Rearmament say it is "an idtilogy which is trying to sub.stilute for the class war the eternal struggle of good and evil, and that it has bridgeheads on every conli-sent." Dr. Buchman had been dec-onVed by eight governments for his work. Burial will be in Allentown, Pa.

This is going to require time and money. Our present weakness in the Middle Eastern propaganda contest will continue for at least a year. Even if we can arrange additional sites, U.S. I. A.

will need large supplementary sums to finance them. In Fourth Place U.S.I.A.'s present budget plans for a mobile radio unit that can be flown to troubled regions. But more powerful permanent installations are needed. Moscow allots more each year to jam the V.O.A. than the entire annual U.S.

I. A. budget which amounts to less than the price of one combat-loaded Polaris submarine. The most important ultimate contest is for men's minds. However, much as we pride ourselves on advertising techniques, we are apparently unwilling to spend enough to advertise the United States.

This is a self-defeating attitude. One may hope our diplomats will succeed in their efforts to secure locations for new radio stations. One may also hope Congress will have the wisdom to allot sufficient funds. Fourth place in cold war propaganda is i not good enough. W.C.T.U.
