POPE PLUS XII IS LAID TO REST

Under the great spiraling bal dachin above the altar of the con- fession, noble guards in plumed helmets stood at attention. Pres ent were ambassadors in formal diplomatic uniforms, prelates in somber robes and members of re- ligious orders.
 Among them was the longtime faithful housekeeper for the Pon- tiff, Sister Pasqualina.
 The throne bearers who carried the Pontiff in life slowly bore the body on their shoulders toward the altar. The face was Waxen in death.
 The ceremonies began precise ly at pm. with a slow proces- sion of the parish priests of Rome toward the Altar of the Confession.
 Behind them, in a slow funeral march, walked uniformed mem bers of the Papal household.
 The dignitaries took up their positions in a great circle sur rounding the catafalque which supported the body of Roman Catholicism's 261st Pope.
 The surpliced choir of the Ju- lian Chapel burst into the un- accompanied chords of "mis- erere" which legend says was composed by King David.
 Giant Swiss guards in high crowned helmets knelt reverent- ly as the body passed, surrounded by stately procession of me dieval splendor.

Smokejumper Program To Be Started In Alaska

WASHINGTON, R - The Fed era1 Forest Service plans to use more smokejumpers and air planes against forest fires next year.
 Smokejunpers are parachutiSts who drop into fire areas in re- mote forests. Their goal is to put out the fire while they're small
 Helicopters fly small crews to and from fires.
 The smokejumpers grou p, which had humble beginnings with handful of daring men 20 years ago, now is a 30O-plus man striking force that fights fires in forests throughout the west.
 Plans for next year include ex- pansion of operations to Alaska. The Forest Service has agreed to help the Federal Bureau of Land Management set up smoke jumper unit at Fairbanks for use on fires in the interior of the State-to-be.
 It is hoped the unit can be es- tablished by early summer. Re- cruits for the unit will be trained at smokejumper headquarters, Missoula, Mont.
 At Missoula was developed the technique of flying the parachu- tists far into the backwoods to at tack fires which otherwise might spread over large areas before ground crews could get to them.

 Dr. Andrew c. Ivy, president of the International Commission for the Prevention of Alcoholism, said that will happen if a present trend toward prohibition in the United States continues un- changed.
 He predicted prohibition this time would be voted by state leg islatures rather than by Congress.

Moon Rocket Pioneer Disintegrates After 79,l26-Mile Trip In Outer Space

But scientists said it radioed valuable data back to earth on it's lonely journey. Among other things, the experience of Pioneer indicated that radiation in the outer reaches of space may not be as intense as had been thought.
 This could have strong bear ing on future space flight by man, susceptible to possible radiation poisoning.
 In this connection, the Air Force claimed Pioneers epic flight marked the first time. man has been able to measure radia- ton above 25,000 miles.
 Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schrei- yer, chief of the Air Force Ballis- tic Missile Division, said, 'These measurements will be of great as sistance in improving instru- ments for future space and lunar probes and for putting man into space"
 Schrieyer, who has overall re- sponsibility for the Air Force moon rocket program, claimed the rockets 79,120-mile altitude mark is more than 27 times greater than any ever before achieved. The Air Force said this permitted the first direct measurements of the earth's magnetic field up to that height. Further, the Air Force said Pioneer hit the fastest speed ever reached by a man-made vehicle i- more than 23,450 miles an hour.

Officer Signing Alaska Ballots Ills Contested

JUNEAU, R = A legal ques- ton has arisen in connection with printing the general election bal lots.
 It concerns the name that should appear on the back of the ballots, endorsing them as off cial.
 In case you forgot to look on the reverse side of the ballot in the August primary, endorsement was by Election Commissioner David Pree.
 So it was to be for November |25 General Election = until the matter was challenged last week by William Hilton, Clerk Third Division District Court at An chorage.
 Governor Hendrickson and At torney General Williams said to- day Hilton protested his name should endorse ballots printed at Anchorage. Williams said Hilton quoted Territorial law for au- thority. Judge J. L. McCarrey of Anchorage agreed with his clerk, and a similar opinion came from Judge Hodge.
 However, says the Attorney General, the Governors executive order setting regulations for the first state voting said endorse ment should be made by the cleo tion commissioner.
 Williams said Territorial law no longer is applicable, because state election districts do not con form with judicial divisions.
 Both the Attorney General and the Governor said they didn't know how the problem would be settled. However, neither fore saw difficulty in resolving the dispute.
 Whatever is the outcome, they said, the scheduled election should not be endangered.

Washington State CAP Commander Killed In Glider Crash
SPOKANE 1

SPOKANE, R - A glider smashed to the ground from about 100 feet here yesterday before the eyes of several hundred mortified spectators, killing the head of the Washington State Civil Air Pa trol, and injuring a passenger.

VATICAN CITY, R - The Ro- man Catholic Church today laid Pope Plus XII to eternal rest near the tomb of St. Peter.
 The Church's 261st Pontiff was consigned to the ages amid a scene of solemn medieval splen- dor.
 While thousands of religious and lay dignitaries looked on in awed silence, the body of the Pontiff, encased in a triple cas- ket, was lowered into the crypts beneath the great basilica of St. Peter.
 The Campanone, mighty mas ter bell of St. Peters, tolled the mournful signal to the eternal city of Rome.
 The casket was placed in a niche among the ancient cypts. It was here that Plus XII wanted to "repose in the august silence" near the resting place of St. Peter, whom Roman Catholics regard as the first Pope. 7 A brilliant afternoon sun streamed through St. Peters mas sive dome and cast a crown of light about the alter as the Pom tifical funeral began. An awed hush enveloped the religious and lay dignitaries present in the bas- iica, the worlds largest church.
 The deep-throated Carnpanone tolled slowly as the time for the funeral service came. In the im- mediate area of St. Peters Square, life came to a standstill.

COP Candidates
 Request Ike r Take The Stump

WASHINGTON, R = President Eisenhower was reported today to be swamped with requests for personal campaigning in behalf of Republican candidates.
 Many Republicans fighting up hill battles for Senate and House seats now consider a Presiden- tial appearance in their states a political must. As a result, the COP National Committee is hav- ing difficulty trying to sort out a flood of demands.
 Several were said to have come from COP candidates who did not always support Eisenhower's pro- gram in Congress, and who had counted largely on going their own way in their campaigns.
 Some of these were reported to be among those most insistent on help from Eisenhower.
 Republican National Chairman Meade Alcorn said he expects the White House to announce this week additional speaking dates for the President to supplement the five-day sortie to California and back starting Thursday.
 Republican campaigners said they felt recent declines in un- employment will help them in several vital states. Democrats generally thought the economic upturn had come too late.
 The Republicans also pointed to forecasts of agricultural crop production nearly II per cent above the previous record as a hopeful sign.
 These and other factors might alter the picture before election day. But a state-by-state survey by the Associated Press indicated that as of now Democrats stand to make substantial gains in both the Senate and House.
 Without counting their Maine victory, Democrats now outnum- Der Republicans 49-47 in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, R = The U. s. moon rocket Pione CT has swooped to probable disintegr- ton in the earth's atmosphere after blazing never-before trav- eled path into spec.
 The instrument-laden vehicle didn't make it to the vicinity of the moon. But the Air Force claimed big gains in scientific information from the nearly two- day flight of the rocket, which reached a record of about 79,120 miles into space.
 The Air Force issued this death notice for the moon missile it launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla, before dawn Saturday:
 ''The Hawaiian tracking sta ton lost contact with the U. s. Pioneer lunar probe vehicle at 11:40 pm.
 "It was the last tracking sta tion to receive signals.
 Analysis of the data received by the Hawaiian station indi- cates that the Pioneer re-entered the earth's atmosphere at approx imately 12 midnight and is as- stunned to have burned up upon re-entry.
 "The re-entry point is esti- mated to be over the South Pa cific Ocean"
 The 85-pound lunar probe fell short of the hoped-for goal o1 going into orbit some 50,000 mile: from the moon.

Russ Say U. S. Moon Shot Does Not
 Lessen Soviet Leadership

MOSCOW, R A Soviet science lecturer says the Soviet Union admires U. S. engineering progress in sending up a moon rocket. He added that the feat in no way detracts from Soviet leadership in the space field.
 This was the first Soviet reac- ton since the moon rocket was launched Saturday. It came Sun day at one of the many public lectures given on weekends in Moscow.
 Pravda limited its coverage to a short Tass News Agency dis patch from New York saying the rocket had failed to achieve it's purpose.

Mr.. Whiteside added that he
spent one full day In Washing
ton studying the original draw
ings and the prospectus for the
East Front job.
"As I left I was quite
convinced that the plans pre-
pared for moving Of the East
Front give not only an excel
lent solution plan-wise. but are
necessary from a structural
consideration, II the edifice is
to continue as our Capitol
Building" Mr.. Whiteside wrote.
Plea Surprises Oficials
Meanwhile. Mr.. Chatelain's
request to Vice President Nixon
came as a surprise to Capitol
officials favoring the extension,
who noted that Mr.. Nixon was
one Of the four members Of a
five-man congressional COM
mission who favored the extern
sion at a commission meeting
on February 81.
Chairman Of the commission
In charge Of the extension prof.
ect Is House Speaker Rayburn
and its other members are Mr.
Nixon. House Minority Leader
Martin. Senate Minority Leader
Knowland and Capitol Archi-
tect J. George Stewart.
Mr.. Martin previously has
made public his feelings
against the project. In a
speech on the House floor ear
lier this week, however, Speak
er Rayburn made 1t plain that
other members Of the COM
mission favored the extension
He said:
II shall not say how the vote
was: that is. who voted for OF
who voted against. But four
out Of five members Of that
commission gave 1t as their
sense and their judgment that
the Architect Of the Capitol
should 60 along with this re-
construction"
New Study Asked
Despite this. Mr.. Chatelain
asked Mr.. Nixon to support a
Senate bill which would block
the extension. Mr.. Chatelain
called for a new study Of the
east front situation that would
seek some alternative means
Of preserving the deteriorating
front and Of finding needed
Capitol space.
Mr.. Chatelain said 1t was the
opinion Of his group that a new
investigation would show there
is mo validity to the argument
that the present east front
wall need be extended merely
TO be preserved"
Extension proponents have
stressed three main motives in
support Of the project: To halt
deterioration Of the old sand
stone front by reproducing II
In precise architectural detail
with enduring marble; to carry
out century-old proposals to
complete the architectural
form Of the Capitol. and To
provide critically needed Cap
itol space.
In the House today Repre-
sentative Brownson, Republic
can Of Indiana, said interest
throughout his State In block
ing the extension was increas-
ing.

PETE'S ANSWER WAS:
Perhaps in a wreck in deep
water, or one on q very
remote reef. You see, the
Spaniards salvaged most of
their wrecks. But it is a pos
sibility. Only a few years
ago Teddy Tucker of Ber-
muda recovered gold bars
and a jeweled crucifix that
was easily worth 100000"
The Rambler said, Il know
a marine engineer. His name
is Robert Craighead Walker.
He has found about 10 coins
along Sinepuxent Beach
that's right opposite here.
Ocean City, Md, is part
of 1t. One was a French coin
Of 1643, another a Spanish
American piece dated 1919,
an 1Sth-century English coin
and six or seven ancient
coins, one with the head and
inscription of Alexander the
Great"
That snapped Pete out Of
mis- lethargy.
Lets co." he said. what
are we waiting for? Where
there are coins like that,
there must be a wrecked
ship. I'll get Ed Link to go
along. Wen use submarine
mine detectors and diving
rigs. Well cut your friend
Walker In for so per cent.
Perhaps we had better
take a scouting trip to the
beach. All well need Is sleep
Ing bags, and we can bed on
the sand"
So 1t won't be long now.
But the Rambler did per-
Iuade Pete to wait until 1t
warns up a bit more.
