GREETING A NEW QUEEN—London.—Britain's top government officials stand at attention ft
the London Airport as Queen Elisabeth, their new sovereign, starts down steps of plane after
arriving from Africa. Waiting to greet the Queen are (from left) Lord Woolton, Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, opposition leader in Parliament, and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill.
Finished with the pomp and ceremony that proclaimed her monarch of Britain, Queen Eliza
beth 11 waves to onlookers as she and her husband, Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, depart by
car for reunion with other members of the grieving royal family at Sandringham Castle. The
new Queen’s accession to the throne to succeed her father, the late King George VI, marked
the inception of England’s second “Elizabethan era."
Elizabeth
(Continued Prom First Page.)
called because it was one of his
favored paths for strolling, went
the little band of mourners.
Bagpipe Sounds Lament.
The King’s piper preceded the
coffin. From his bagpipe came
the saddest of Highland laments,
“Flowers of the Forest.”
Behind the coffin walked Eliza
beth and her mother, heavily
veiled, arm-in-arm. Then came
Margaret and the Queen’s hus
band, followed by a few others of
the royal entourage.
On the porch of the church, its
rector, the Rev. Hector Anderson,
received the cortege.
The pipe wailed and fell silent.
The coffin was borne in, and
there was a short, private service.
The mourners walked back to the
house.
Elizabeth Shows Courage.
Elizabeth has been under great
strain^-the shock of the news
which reached her in Africa, the
4,000-mile journey home, the ne
cessity to put duty ahead-of sor
row before she could come to her
family.
She was said to be bearing it
with "great courage,” but today
and tomorrow she was expected to
rest.
Her widowed mother, too, was
said to be bearing up with the
composure required of royalty.
Police and government officials
were completing final arrange
ments for Monday’s journey with
the King’s body from the church
to London.
Soldiers to Escort Coffin.
The coffin is expected to leave
the church about 11 a.m. on a
gun carriage drawn by the horses
and men of the Royal Horse Ar
tillery. Straight-backed soldiers
from the King’s company of
grenadier guards will escort it to
the four-car funeral train.
Soon after noon the train is
to draw away, passing slowly bo
those who wish may pay homage
along the way.
In London, many' craftsmen
labored to complete the catafalque
on which the King’s body will lie
in state next week.
There, Monday, in the hall
which has cradled English history
for "nearly nine centuries, Eliza
beth, her mother and others of
the royal family will join mem
bers of both houses of Parliament
in a memorial service.
Five of Europe’s kings and one
queen will attend Friday’s funeral
service, but none will be present
at the memorial.
Lord Chancellor to Lead Peers.
The Lord Chamberlain, the
Earl of Clarendon, announced
plans for the memorial service.
Before the cortege arrives from
Sandringham, at 4:15 pm., the
dokes, earls and other peers, led
by Urie scarlet-robed Lord Chancel
lor, will file to places along one
side of the catafalque. Members
of the Commons will stand to the
other side.
The Archbishop of Canterbury,
Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, and the Dean
of Westminster, Dr. Alan C. Don,
will meet the cortege with the
Duke of Norfolk, who is Earl

Archbishop to Conduct Service.
The coffin will be carried into
the hall through great, iron
studded doors, with Elizabeth, her
mother and other members of the
family following it. They will
stand at the end of the coffin dur
ing the service to be conducted
by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The short service wiH consist of
the saying of the Lesser Litany,
the Lord’s Prayer and a memorial
prajjer. Then all will sing the
King’s favorite hymn, “Abide With
Me.” A benediction will end the
service.
The catafalque on which the
body will lie in state is being
built in six tiers on a lozenge
shaped base 42 feet long and 17
feet wide.
Near the center two steps lead
to a 4-foot-wide platform where a
guard of honor will be mounted
day and night.
To Bear But One Wreath.
On a central plinth, two steps
higher, the coffin will rest, draped
still in the royal standard
bearing only one wreath—that
from the new Queen.
The imperial crown will rest on
a purple cushion in the middle.
The King’s sceptre will lie over;
his left hand. Over his right hand:
will lie the orb, a sphere sur-j
mounted by a cross, symbolizing:
kingly power and justice.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day more than a million citizens
are expected to file past the bier
in the great stone-flagged hall,
their footsteps muffled by a thick
fawn carpet spread over all the

Educator Stresses
Duly of Catholics
To Inform Critics *
American Catholics were urged
last night by Prof. James M.
O’Neill, author and educator, to
be more active in correcting pres
ent misunderstanding of Catholic
teachings and practices by many
non-Catholics.
Prof. O’Neill, who is chairman of
the speech department at Brook
lyn College, N. Y., addressed more
than 400 persons at the February
meeting of the Charles Carroll
Forum in the Mayflower Hotel.
He was introduced by the Rev.
Daniel Powers, 8. J., of George
town University, who presided.
Commenting on criticism of the
Catholic Church by Paul Blan
shard, anti-Catholic author and
lecturer, .Prof. O’Neill % warned
that it was a mistake for Catho
lics to assume that all who agree
with Mr. Blanshard are bigots.
Truth a Duty.
"The overwhelming majority of
these people have been deceived
by being badly misinformed by
Mr. Blanshard and others,” he
said. "They seel^ the truth. There
fore. in the interests of goodwill
and understanding among all
Americans, it is the duty of Cath
olics, especially the laity, to fur
nish them the truth about the
Catholic Church. This should be
done courteously and tactfully,
without bitterness or rancor.”
Prof. O’Neill characterized Mr.
Blanshard’s anti-Catholic crusade
as “one of the most serious threats
to civil and religious liberty that
has ever1 appeared in the United
States.”
Mr. Blanshard, he said, attacks
religion “elaborately, inaccurately
and sneeringly” in his book,
“American Freedom and Catholic
Power.” Mr. Blanshard believes
in the moral infallibility of the
political majority, Prof. O’Neill
added.
"This omnipotent state attitude
is obviously a threat to American
freedom," he said. “It is, of
course, the heart of the philosophy
of fascism, nazism and commu
nism.”
Prof. O’Neill said he had made a
thorough check of the documen
tation advanced by Mr. Blanshard
for his attack on the Catholic
Church and found it to be “shock
ingly unscholarly and unfair.”
Challenged on Proof.
He quoted the words of a promi
nent Jewish writer, David Rome
of Montreal, Canada: “Mr. Blan
shard confuses documentation
with validity.”
The speaker cited several in
stances of what he described as
evidence of Mr. Blansharcfs un
fairness, and consistent inac
curacy, and said these examples
were typical of Mr. Blanshard’s
shabby scholarship.
Prof. O’Neill is the former chair
man of the Committee on Aca
demic Freedom of the American
Civil Liberties Union and is the
author of several books dealing
with religious, sociological and
other current problems. His latest
book, “Catholicism and American
Freedom,” will be published next
month by Harper’s. It Is supposed
to be the Catholic answer to Mr.
Blanshard’s past statements
against the Catholic Church.

Reference to the former Wash
ington VA/official, who was not
named, was made in the com
mittee’s quotation of a VA in
vestigative report, which cited
examples of irregularities.
Falsified Application Charged.
The VA report was quoted as
saying the former acting train
ing chief here, who represented
the Government in making train
ing contracts with schools, "fal
sified practically the (his) entire
application for employment.” It
added:
“He attempted, in an irregular
manner, to destroy certain schools
and build up others; he conspired
with an attorney to collect $1,000
from a tailoring schools; he con
nived with this attorney to collect
some 30 per cent (?) from a busi
ness college and advised the
finance officer, VARO (regional
office designation), that checks
for the business college should be
mailed to the attorney. /
“He demanded and accepted
two watches from a watch repair
school. This school also gave one
watch to the VA supervisor of
tuition vouchers.”
Business School Dean Listed.
Oliver E. Meadows, committee
staff director, said a VA investiga

and dated April. 1948, said the

the name of a “Leo M. Bryant,
dean of the Capital Business
School.”
The report noted these other
"irregularities”:
1. A former VA official in Dallas

of a chain of private trade schools
under a VA contract. There was
no collateral and approximately
$400 of the loan was repaid.
2. Another official in the Dallas
