"Dr. Frank N. D. Buchman, founder and leader of the Oxford Group, left here tonight on tour of the Oslo Pact States (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland and Belgium) for a series of conferences with national leaders.

"Before sailing, Dr. Buchman announced that 45 Berkeley Square, London, a substantial house of historical interest, is being acquired by friends of the Oxford Group from many countries for use as a world center of this rapidly growing movement.

"Groups in many countries have asked to furnish and equip different rooms. Certain rooms will be set aside where businessmen, labor leaders, members of Parliament and other national leaders can confer. . . ."

Thus last week, with the pomp of a court circular, did Buchmanism--heretofore quartered in Brown's Hotel, London -- announce the acquisition of famed 18th Century Lord Clive's 34-room house in swankest Mayfair. Minimum price in the neighborhood: $50,000. Dr. Buchman, born in unswank Pennsburg, Pa., will make Berkeley Square his home.
