VATICAN CITY R - Tn a wide-ranging new encyclical on social problems of the modern world, Pope John XXIII called today for industry to limit profits and make sure that the working man receives a wage that allows him to live in dignity.
 The encyclical, at 25,000 words the longest in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, said the plight of backward nations is perhaps the major problem of the modern epoch" The Pope called for advanced states to give sin cere and disinterested aid to the underdeveloped in the cause of fruitful and lasting" peace.
 He reaffirmed the Roman Cath olic Church's traditional stand on the rights of private property, but declared socialization does not turn men into automatons if it confines it's activity within the limits of the moral order"
 In the first full restatement of the church's attitude toward so- cial problems in three decades, this pontiff son of a farmer bore down heavily on the problems of the individual.
 Vatican circles considered the Pope's encyclical a call to al Christians of the world to defend their Christian heritage. Tn Pope himself said his words wer directed to all Christians"
 Titled "mater and magistra"- meaning the church as 'mothe and teacher'-the encyclical wa issued in commemoration of tn 7Oth anniversary of the 'Rerun Novarum" of new things issued by Pope Leo XIII, Pope Plus x and Pope Plus XII.

Pilot of Ill-Fated Jet Crash Didn't Know
 Danger Was Imminent

DENVER LR - One or possibly more mechanical failures caused the crash of a United Air Lines pcs in which IT persons perished last Tuesday, United President w. A. Patterson said Thursday.
 But never until the moment of the runway crash did the planes pilot, Capt John Crosse, consider that danger was imminent.
 Patterson made these points at a news conference where he dis cussed at length reports that the planes hydraulic system failed during the Philadelphia-to-Los Angeles flight.
 He said the pilot noted fluctu- ating pressures in the hydraulic system 35 minutes before the scheduled landing at Stapleton Airfield. But he added: "That is not abnorro al. It happens on all airplanes.
 "The captain had no feeling whatsoever that he was about to do anything hazardous" Patter~ son said. ''If had thought there was any unusual hazard, he would have gone to Lowry Air Base ,
 This air base, equipped with extensive crash and fire-fight- ing apparatus, is about a mile and half south of Stapleton.
 Even as Patterson addressed newsmen here, the Federal Avi. ation Agency in Washington moved to tighten regulation covering emergency operation O hydraulic systems on DC8 je airliners.
