the pontiff declared that the tomb
of st. Peter was and is under
the cupola of st. Peters Church. ."
He declared then this was dem
onstrated by archaeological find
ingS.
Today's announcement of the
finding of the sepulchre-as proof
that the first of the apostles &C
tually came to Rome and died
there-was the most positive yet
made by the pontiff.
The Pope's statement on the re-
mains found in the grotto still left
room for speculation, but the i'm
portant thing, he said. was that
the discovery ''leaves intact the
historical reality of the tomb"
The pontiff quickly reviewed the
events of the Holy Year-25th in
the Catholics church's 2,000-yea1
history.
Turning to the future, the Pope
said "the most urgent problem is
that of the internal peace Of each
people,
In order to achieve this peace
which he said was the only basis
of external peace, nations needed
the services of men with Chris
tian sentiments, the Pope de-
clared.
The pontiff voiced his concern
for those who are outside the
church and those whose religious
liberties are curtailed.
He insisted there is not the least
incompatibility in any part of the
world between the mission of the
church and the interest of any
state. The Pope, as he has many
times in the past. again made ar
appeal for peace.
THE real danger to interna-
tional, as well as national peace
the Pope said, "is the presence OF
men who are bereft of this Chris
tian sense; some have been de-
ceived by the past; others are
frantically bent on attaining some
utopia of the future; in every case
they are dissatisfied with the pres
| ent."

From the barracks, the fire
raced through a covered passage

the fire started with an explo-

All buildings were heated by 9

Mrs. Mabel Ray, Potter County

private enterprise and took some
patients on a contract with the
county.
The physical plant, including
old Army barracks and an old
country club building, belongs to
the county. There was no esti-
mate in dollars of the damage.
