Frankfurter Allgemeine z e J.
tung, leading West German lib
eral daily, in commenting on both
the editorial in Neues Deutsch-
land and the Moscow Radio broad
casts said that obviously the
Holy Father touched the sore
point of communism in his Christ
mas address and voiced the senti-
ments of all those who lost all
illusions about coexistence."
The official Polish communist
organ, Trybuna Ludu, published
brief report on the Pope's
Christmas message on the bottom
of page two. II included his de-
claration that nations which bar
United Nations observers should
not be allowed to take part IN
U.N. functions. The paper made
no editorial comment.
In scotland, the Edinburgh
Daily Record and Mail described
the Pope's Christmas message as
surely one of the gravest the
world has heard"
Its real gravity" it said, "lies
in the fact that it seems TO rep
resent a further hardening of the
papal attitude TO communism and
/ the possibility OF a war against
/ m mum S m is directly con
/ fronted. The Pope set his face
very firmly against appeasement
and this action cannot fail to re
act in some measure on the poll
cies of the free world"
The Yorkshire Post, indepen'
dent English daily, praised the
Pope'S Christian Outspokeness.
Instead Of offering comfort
able commonplace" it continued
1.-The Pope sought to arouse states
men and peoples to a keener
sense of their duty to resist evil
and defend the oppressed. Who
can doubt that he was right TO
speak as he did at the end of this
grieyous year in human history?

SOUTH BEND-(NC)-Ar0used
by the death of an eight-year-old
pupil under the wheels of a
truck, the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation of st. Joseph school here
called for banishment of through
truck traffic in South Bend. AS a
result, Mayor Edward F. Voordle
called a meeting of state legisla-
tors, city councilmen and civic
leaders to discuss how the In.
diana General Assembly, which
goes into session in January,
might expedite a truck bypass
program.
Robert J. Hesten, P.T.A. first
vice-president, said his organiza.
tion will request posting of large
school zone signs and 15-mph
speed limits in school zones.
In addition, Mr. Heston said
police will be asked to supply a
uniformed patrol woman where
the boy was killed. He said that
the uniform on an adult seems to
be more effective than white
cross belts on the patrol boys who
now work the crossing.
