Newscopy: "Almost as if tears had dripped down its front, the rain-soaked statue of St. Francis at St. Francis of Assisi Church takes what may be its last look at Vallejo st., today. Under guidance of diminutive sculptor Beniamino Bufano, riggers from the Bayshore Construction Co. prepared St. Francis for removal to Oakland where the statue will be exhibited on a six month loan at 22nd and Franklin sts. Final home for the controversial statue, the church's pastor wanted it removed, is still up in the air. Bufano hopes it ultimately will be accepted by the United Nations. If not, then he will consider offers from others."
