Three Eastern Experts Will Accompany Pope On Ills Pilgrimage V ATICAN CITY.—Pope Paul VI will be accompanied on his Epiphany pilgrimage to the Holy Land by three cardinals who are top e xperts on the Oriental Churches.
Vatican Radio announced that the Patriarch of the West on his journey to the East would be accompanied by a party to include Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Arnleto Cardinal Cicognani and Gustavo Cardinal Testa. Cardinal Tisserant, the French-born dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, has devoted most of his life to Oriental Studies. Fluent in a dozen languages, including Hebrew and Arabic, he served as Secretary of the Sacred the Congregation f or Oriental Church from 1936 until 1959. The Secretary ranks directly after the Pope, who always maintains the title of Prefect for himself.

Cardinal Cicognani, the Pope's Secretary of State, served as Assessor — the No. 2 administrative post— of the Oriental Church congregation from 1928 until he became Apostolic Delegate in the United States in 1933. He succeeded Cardinal Tisserant as Secretary in 1959, shortly after Pope John recalled him from Washington to make him a caral. He remained administrator of the congregation until he was named Secretary of State in August, 1961. Cardinal Testa, Secretary of the Oriental congregation since August, 1962, is a Scripture scholar and expert in Semitic languages who served for many years in papal sions to the Middle misEast. He was Apostolic Delegate to Egypt and Arabia from 1934 to 1941. From 1948 to 1953 he was Apostolic Delegate to Palestine and Regent of the Patriarchate of Latin Rite Jerusalem. In this capacity he was instrumental in drafting Plans for the reconstruction of the Basilica of deteriorating the Sepulchre, which H 01 y a primary goal will be of the Pope's pilgrimage.
ernment agencies, it was understood were requests by several television companies for permission to HIS HOLINESS WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP IN CONSTANT TOUCH BY RADIO WITH HIS SECRETARIAT OF STATE DURING HIS FLIGHT TO THE HOLY LAND. Matters requiring an inunedaite decision will not have to wait even till his flight of two and a half hours is completed. A radio is being placed at his disposition aboard the Alitalia (Italian Airlines) DC-8 jet that will take him to the Jordanian capital of Amman. A simtilar link-up will be installed in the Apostolic Delegation in Jerusalem, where he will be staying. The Pope's plane will be blazoned with the white, red and green flag of Italy and the white and yellow papal flag with the crossed keys of St. Peter.
A special suite has been prepared for the Holy Father in what is the normal first-class portion of the accommodation and cardinals and other members of the papal party will sit in what is usually the tourist class section. No changes will be made in the lounge and the usual waiters will serve. The crew has not been specially chosen and will remain the same as those who would normally fly that plane on that date, January 4. But the stewardesses are receiving special instructions on which members of the party take precedence — in other words. who should be served first. Pope Paul's plane will identify itself to control towers along its route with the callsign "AZX.-

Industrialisation
Sport
Mr. Adaikalasamy said the discussion also centred on the growing need to industrialise his country and he personally added the need to increase industrial education.

More technical schools were needed to assist in the growing industrialisation of his and other similar countries. A printer (compositor) by trade, he said that the introduction of a technical course was a better system than that of learning from the trained man, and this was going to happen soon.
