Angry Charles de Gaulle had threatened to boycott the Common Market, and last week boycott he did. First, French officials were forbidden to at tend any policy-making Common Market meetings. Then France's Jean-Marc Boegner, permanent delegate to the community's Brussels headquarters, abruptly returned to Paris without so much as an au revoir to Common Mar ket President Walter Hallstein...
...hope that his partners would cave in and drop their supranational proposals, De Gaulle carefully kept the door slightly ajar. By "inviting" Boegner home rather than formally recalling him, the general avoided an outright break in diplomatic relations that would have signaled the end of the Common Market. French officials continued last week to attend technical EEC sessions hammering out the implementation of previously approved business like pig-meat subsidies and inland-waterway rates.

Probably no Frenchman has worked harder for Christian unity than Pastor Marc Boegner, 81, head of the Protestant Federation of France until he retired in 1961.

In their wake came scores of newspaper and magazine articles, radio and TV" programs. France at last awoke to Dr. Weill-Halle's crusade...
Said President Marc Boegner of the Federation of Protestant Churches of France: "There are barriers humanly insurmountable . . . But it is no less true that a radically new climate has developed in the course of the last decades in the relations of the great Christian confessions among themselves." In the U.S., President Edwin T. Dahlberg of the National Council of Churches said: "Anything that would bring together all the churches of Christ would be blessed of God." But, he added, "it would have to be recognized that it was a mutual coming together, not under conditions laid down by one church...
