Courier News, Blytheville, May 24, 1976 Page Thirteen Pope Installs New Cardinals By MICHAEL J. DUFFY Associated Writer VATICAN CITY AP) Pope Paul VI installed 20 new cardinals from six continents today in a consistory emphasizing a trend of internationalism in the top ranks of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The number of prelates elevated to the Sacred College of Cardinals was increased by the surprise appearance of one of the (wo men the Pope named "in pectore," or in his breast, when he announced the identities of his other 19 choices four weeks ago. The 20th cardinal was the archbishop of Hanoi, 76-year- old Joseph Marie Trinh-nhu Khue. Presumably his identity was not announced earlier because it was not known whether the Communist regime in North Vietnam would let him leave the country to attend the consistory.

But he was the 20th prelate to be summoned to the papal throne to receive the red biretta, the three-cornered hat symbolic of the princes of the church. The identity of the other cardinal named in pectore will remain secret until the Pope reveals it, and he will not function as a cardinal until then. Presumably he, too, is serving in a Communist country, and the Vatican believes he might be endangered if his designation was known. The new cardinals increased the Sacred College to a total membership of 137. They included five from North and South America, four from Africa, three from Asia, seven from Europe and one from New Zealand.

Countries getting cardinals for the first time, in addition to North Vietnam, were the Dominican Republic, Senegal, Uganda and Nigeria. The only American, Archbishop William W. Baum of Washington, D.C., became the 12th jcardina! in the United States, a country of 48 million Catholics whose membership in GLOVERS DRAW WELL NEW YORK (AP) The New York Golden Gloves celebrated its 50th anniversary in Madison Square Garden (last Marcjfi 19) by drawing 20,015 fans, 'one of the largest gatherings ever to see a boxing show in the Garden.

OLD TREE BISHOP, Calif. (AP) Methuselah is still alive, and well, and living 12 miles east of here. "Methuselah" is a old bristlecone pine tree, and, according to Rand McNally's "National Forest Guide," the oldest known living thing on earth.

The publication says Methuselah and a nearby companion, a tree named "Patriarch," which is the largest of the bristlecones, can be visited in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, located near California's famous John Muir Wilderness.

the Sacred College is exceeded only by Italy's 36. The average age of the new cardinals is 60, with Archbishop Jaime L. Sin of Manila, 47, and Archbishop Baum, 49, the youngest. Cardinal Trinh-nhu Khue is the oldest. The last consistory in 1973 was a one-day event instead of the usual three days of ceremonies.

But this year the in- stallation of the new cardinals will not be completed until Thursday, the Feast of the Ascension, when the Pope gives them their sapphire rings and celebrates mass with them. Much of the pomp of the past is gone, however, including the sword-bearers, the broad-brimmed galero hats, the silver- buckled red shoes and the ermine-lined capes. First on the schedule today was a secret consistory of the previous members of the College of Cardinals in which the new men named by the Pope four weeks ago were formally chosen. This was followed by a public ceremony for the conferral of the blrettas, the three- the old cardinals voted on the elevation of three new saints. They were Father John Ogilvie, a Jesuit priest martyred in Scotland in 1615; Father Charbel Makholouf, a Maronite priest who lived as a hermit in Lebanon in the late 19th Century, and Beatriz de Silva Men- cornered red hats symbolic of eses, Spanish founder of the Orthe rank of cardinal.
