BOMBING At.
VATICAN CITY

ROME, June 26. tU.Pi-A plot to
disrupt the holy year celebrations
was believed today to have motiva-
ted the bomb explosion in historic
st. Peters church which injured
four Worshippers.
The bomb was contained in a
suitcase left at the checkroom be-
side the huge bronze gate at the
main entrance to the church.
Papal gendarmes arrested a man
who asked the custodian for suit
case which contained paper similar
to that in which the bomb was
wrapped last night. He was turned
over to Italian police for investi-
cation.
A number of suitcases and pack
ages deposited at the check room
and not claimed during the day
were seized and searched.
Only one of the four victims, Al
essandro SartoriS, an engineer OF
Marina Di Pisa, was hurt serious
ly. but he was expected to recover.
The bomb was equipped with a
time device and was charged with
black powder. 1t contained no me-
tai, the injuries being caused by the
metal fittings of the suit case. Dam
age was slight.
Holy year pilgrims were entering
the church as the explosion occur
red. Pope Plus XI, informed of the
bombing, said;
ut is an outrage against God and
men,"
He expressed relief that no one
had been killed, and said he would
offer prayer for the prompt recov-
cry of those injured.

VOTE AGAINST TAX DIVERSION
URGED BY AUTO CLUB MANAGER

Imperial Valley could expect to
see many more highway workers
laid off by the state, and virtual
abandonment for the next two years
of plans to improve or construct
newly-add state routes in the
city and county unless the gas tax
diversion measures, Propositions 9
and TO- are defeated at the election
tomorrow.
This conclusion was voiced today
by Trueman Thompson, manager of
the Imperial Valley office in Ell
Centre of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, following re-
ceipt of illuminating data from
his organization.
These propositions on the bal
lot ask that $17,229,076 of gasoline
tax money be diverted from the high
way fund to the general fund"
Thompson declared, and all of it
would have to be taken out during
the next two years. If this were
done, barely enough money would
be left in the highway fund for
adequate maintenance and neces-
sary reconstruction work on old
state highway system, let alone the
nearly 6,700 miles of through city
streets and connecting county
routes that were added to the
state system in the recent legisla-
tive session.
state highway construction in
Imperial county in the past has
been largely confined to develop
ment of the main travel routes,
