American Priest Bids Farewell in Moscow
In Moscow a American Roman Catholic priest said Mass for his congregation before expulsion from the Soviet Union. Father George Bissonnette of Central Falls Rhode Island faced forced departure by Saturday as Soviet police lifted his passport. The U S government protested the expulsion as a breach of the 1933 Roosevelt Litvinoff pact granting American clergymen in Moscow. The service drew diplomats wives and Western observers who aided his packing as he prepared to leave for Helsinki. The Assumptionist order plans to replace him with Father Louis F Dion of Worcester Mass, previously chosen for Moscow’s spring transition.
