(Received This Day. 10.55 a.m.) LONDON, May 26.
The 8.8. C. abandoned a. broadcast of Cardinal Hinsley’s national prayer day sermon from Westminster Cathedral when a woman interjected with cries of “Peace!”
Cardinal Hinsley had just said: “There can be no peace”—when a woman leapt up shouting. Cardinal Hinsley continued his sermon as if he had not heard the interruption. Two or three young men lifted the woman and carried her outside, where she was handed over to the police. Cardinal Hinsley later repeated his sermon in a special broadcast by the 8.8. C. He issued a statement that the interruption was due only to one woman, who happened to be near the microphone concerned. It was the result of overwhelming religious emotion and had no political significance. No police charge will be preferred against the woman.
