TUMULTUOUS WELCOME
TO PAPAL LEGATE AT RALLY (United Press Association) WELLINGTON. This Day. More than 2000 Wellington Catholics gave a tumultous welcome in the D« Luxe Theatre last night to his Excellency Archbishop Panico, Papal Legate to the New Zealand National Eucharistic Congress, who attended the opening gathering associated with the congress, the Propagation of the Faith rally. More than 1200 persons were unable to obtain admission to the theatre. The applause greeting the appearance of the Legate lasted two minutes and was only stilled by the organist beginning the playing of the National Anthem. There were three further great ovations for the Legate, before and after his short address, and on his leaving.
