colorful, sacred Roman Catholic
ceremony celebrating the Marian
Year in the Chicago archdiocese.
The vast multitude of worship

Traffic in the vicinity of the field
was jammed for hours before and
after the ceremonies.
The crush at the gates resulted
in 10 persons being hospitalized.
No serious injuries were reported
but police said that about 100 per-
sons were given treatment at first
aid stations. Most of those affect
ed tainted while others suffered
from shock or exhaustion or were
bruised as the throng pressed
through the gates.
More than 5000 men, women
