Who Will It Be,
 Teddy or Eddie 1?

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. tR Pickering Massachusetts Demo- crats try to simmer down tonight to get preliminary answer to this politically explosive question:
 Who will it be, Teddy or Eddie?
 In more formal language, will the Democrats endorse Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, brother of the President, or the State Attorney General, Edward J. Mccormack Jr., nephew of House Speaker John Mccormack, for US. Senator?
 Party chieftains will put in a full day before reaching their big decision, probably late tonight.
 Both men Teddy is 30, Eddie is 38 - flashed brilliant, confident smiles and claimed victory.
 Kennedy We will have a clear majority with possibly LOGO votes
 Mccormack --- ssI have 916.'' Since it takes 862 votes to win if all the delegates are present, somebody's arithmetic is remark ably shoddy.

ROME, Oct. 4 (AP).-Pop,
John XIII, excited as
schoolboy on his first trail
ride, today made a pilgrimagt
across Italy to pray for tht
success of the Roman Catholic
Ecumenical Council.

ruler of the Roman Catholic
Church as he looked eagerly
out from an open window Won

start.
= Just then a trainman at the
rear yelled "pronto." The en-
aineer at the other end sig
aAaled he had heard. and the
train was off on the first papa
railroad ride In SO years.
The Pope was due back al
the Vatican before midnight
after a trip 418 miles across
Italy to Loreto, a shrine to the
Virgin Mary, and back to Rome
via Assist, birthplace of st,
Francis. b
Thousands gathered at SO
stations en- route to cheer the
pontiff as he passed.
= It was Pope Johns first trip
In something other than an
automobile or hand carried
portable throne since he be-
came pontiff in 1858. He ep-
peared to be enjoying every
minute of it. ,
After the 12-minute ride to
Rome's Trastevere Station to
pick up Italian Premier Amin
tore Fanfani, Pope John told
llewsmen:

of crowds at every village and
town on the way. Pope John
stood at a window during most
tof the five-hour trip blessing
the crowds.

had swelled to many times that
number. Crowds surrounded
the station, lined the streets anc
hung over balconies. An esti-

Pope Plus TX took the last
papal train trip in 1868, seven
years before Italian nationalist
troops seized Rome. This
ushered in a 59-year period
when Popes considered them
selves prisoners and remained
in the Vatican.
1t was only the second time
in history that a passenger
train had left the Vatican,
whose station usually serves
only for freight. The first time
was in May of 1859 when a
train took the body of st. Piux
x to Venice, where he once
had been patriarch.
Even after Italy signed the
Lateran pacts in 1929. PopeS
Plus XI and Plus XII confined
their travel to the short motor
trip to the papal summer pal
ace at Castel Gandolfo.

For one thing, Mr.. Brooks
said, the Hanna officials had
deducted the proceeds received
by the Government from the
sale of 30.3 million pounds of
its stockpile nickel that 1t had
