...Stump the Snoopers. Star witness was Insurance Man Don Reynolds, 48, an old business buddy of Baker's. He testified that in 1959 Baker arranged an insurance kickback from Philadephia Contractor Matthew McCloskey, 71, former Democratic National Committee treasurer and Ambassador to Ireland under John F. Kennedy, who was then angling for the contract to build Washington's $20 million municipal stadium. McCloskey, said Reynolds, made the payoff by handing over $35,000 more than he had to on the premium on a performance bond for stadium construction...
...investigation was reactivated last October to study the charge by Senator Williams (R-Del.) that builder Matthew McCloskey, a former treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, made an illegal $25,000 campaign contribution in 1960 through Baker.

The teetotaling Lutherans of St. Matthew's were accustomed to using grape juice instead of wine at their Communion services, and were willing to adopt the other churches' usage of ordinary loaf bread instead of unleavened wafers. The Presbyterians, in turn, agreed to take Communion at the altar rail in stead of in the pew. Both the Methodists and the Presbyterians accepted the phrasing of the Apostles' Creed used at St. Matthew's-Christ descended...
