Indiana known by his intimate friends as
the pedestrian priest" because % his
feats on foot. shook hands with Prasidsht
Wilson today. Father ONeal has been
too unassum ng to talk about his walks.
but one of his companions declared that
the priest had walked distance equal
to the circumference of the earth In the
last six years. Edward p. Weston, the
aged pedestrian. who has crossed the
continent several times on SCOT, states
that he covered the distance of the
earth's circumference In fourteen years.
Father O'Neal, according to his friends,
backed by his own statements. has walk
ed this same distance in less than halr
the time taken by Weston.
