FIRST DEPARTURE
OF POPE FROM
VATICAN AREA
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

VATICAN CITY, July %. W.P)-
Pope Plus XI ended today the long
isolation of the heads of the Roman
Catholic church within the confines
Of the Vatican.
A great and solemn procession
wound through st. Peters " Mother
Church of the World,' and about
into the square in front, with the
pope borne on a dias holding the
Sacred Host to bless the world.
Then came the private chaplains,
the "secret clerics' of the Vatican
court and the Vatican lawyers at
tached to the various ecclesiastical
tribunals.
An outstanding figure was Prince
Ruspoli, master of the Sacro Ospizio.
Next came the special confessors
of the Vatican court, who hear the
confessions of the highest Vatican
authorities.
An impressive throng of arch
bishops and bishops followed wear
ing their mitres, their croziers car
ried by attendants. Abbots and
priors of abbeys and monasteries
slowly issued in their turn from
the portals.
There were the attendants to the
papal throne and the pope's init
mate retinue, known as the ponti-
fical court.
Also in the papal section of the
procession were the Officers of the
various pontifical armed corps and
the pontifical musical choir.
Near its end, the procession began
to reach its climax with the APP
.pearance of the college of cardinals.
They issued from the atrium of St.
Peters according to their seniority
and rank-first the cardinal bishops,
cardinal priests and cardinal dea-
cons, long line of red clad princes
of the church. They were escorted
by platoon of Swiss guards, in
full dress of yellow, blue and pur-
pie, carrying medieval pixies and
halberds.
Not since 1870 had any pope left
the confines of the Vatican. To-
uay Pioccssioh P"SSe" us "
what a few months ago was Italian
soil, but is now, under the Lateran
treaties, a part of the sovereign
papal state.
The sun was setting behind st.
Peter S, gliding the tops of buildings
and casting a mellow glow over the
spectacle in the great square, filled
with more than 100000 persons.
Troops, black shirts and police,
thousands of them, were stationed
at vantage points along the short
line of march, six and eight deep,
veritable walls of humanity to guard
the pope and the members of the
clergy in the procession. 1t was
estimated that it would take two
hours for the procession to pass.

By LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July %. W.H-
Great Britain and the United
States today are step nearer than
ever before to an accord on naval
reduction. Six weeks Of informal
conversations have led to an agree
ment upon principles. Prime Minis
ter Ramsey Macdonald and Presi-
dent Hoover have formally an
nounced partial suspension Of cur
rent naval expansion projects
awaiting further exchanges upon
the whole project.
The Presidents 8 action drew al
most unanimous approval from the
few senators who could be reached
here today for an expression Of
opinion.
These developments in the knotty
naval discussions followed within
a few hours after impressive cere-
monies in the White House pro-
claiming the coming into effect of
the general pact for the renuncia-
ton of war, and preceded shortly
the receipt of news from Tokyo
that diplomatic tension in the Far
East over the, Sino-Russian break
had lessened considerably during the
last "a hours.
If Ramsey MacDonald visits the
United States in October to resume
naval discussions, che will find a
! universal welcome" President
Hoover declared in a formal state
ment concerning reports of Mac
Donald s declarations in parlia-
ment yesterday.
Matching the British declaration
that a portion of this years naval
program had been suspended, Presi-
dent Hoover announced three
cruisers now scheduled to be laid
down in the fall would not be be-
gun "until there has been an op-
portunity for full consideration of
their effect upon the final agree
ment for parity which we expect to
reach.'
At the same time, the President
left open the door for a. further
move by Great Britain toward an
early resumption of negotiations

Eight Die of Heat And
Exhaustion On Niland-
Blythe Road.
SIX ARE CHILDREN
Victims Stranded i'm Bar

Aid Or Water.

Once more the desert surrounding
Imperial valley has shown its terror
IS as strong as ever by claiming
eight victims of heat and exhaustion
on the desrt trail between INLAND

mature man and woman TO an in
fant of year and half.
Sunday afternoon Enrique Ar
mentas, said to be about So years
old, and Julia Perez, about the same
age, left Brawley for Blythe. Ar
mentas deserted his wife and two
children in Brawley about month
ago, authorities state, and went to
live with the Perez woman, whose
husband is repor5ed to be in Mexi-
co. The woman is believed to have
had at least six children, possibly
more.
Tuesday afternoon Blythe officers
found Armentas dead by the side of
his ear at u point II miles east of
Beal 8 Well on the county road
According 70 Sheriff Gillett, word
Of the find was sent to a Brawley
newspaper by the Blythe officials,
who failed to send any word to the
authorities here. The newspaper in
turn informed the sheriff's office
and Deputies Tucker and Clark left
at once for the INLAND Blythe road.
Armentas and the car had, in the
meantime, been taken into Blythe.
The local officers discovered
signs of Armentas having had trou-
bic with his ear mile west of
Beal's Well. At various points
along the road they picked up signs
of where the ear had stopped and
evidently had been put in condition
TO continue on. Armentas succeed
ed in reaching a poiRs IL miles east
of the well before the car broke
down for good,
AT this point the officers picked
up the trail OF the other victims,
who had started eastward toward
Blythe, when safety lay in the OPP
posite direction at Beal's Well
where there is plenty of water. Two
miles of tracking brought them to
the bodies of two boys about 10 and
II years old.
Three miles further east the de-
puties found the bodies of four
children, all boys, ranging from an
infant of year and half, TO seven
years old. A hundred yards so the
east they found the body of the
Perez woman.
All the victims were found short
distances off the road in mesquite
clumps and showed they had gone
through horrible agonies from thirst
before death relieved their suffer
ings. The position of the bodies of
the two boys first found clearly in

Glory, gold, gasoline and a good

weather-combined here today to
keep Dale Jackson and Forrest

in human history.
Their apparently tireless mono-

28Sth consecutive hour at 7:17 a. m.
and gave no indication of relinguish-
ing it's assault against time.
"We won't be down for a week, -
read a note dropped today by Jack
son and O'Brine, as they entered
their 18th consecutive day OF

Their glory lay in the fact that
at that hour they had added Al
hours, 16 minutes and % seconds to
the previous record Of 246:43:32 es-
tablished July IL by the Angeleno
at Culver City, Calf.
AS for gold, each hour beyond the
old record has poured into their pri-
vate Golfers between 800 and 5000,
and knowledge of that has conceiv.
ably played an important part in
the persistency Of their efforts.

Weather, which for 12 days was
