State police said the search for the boys started Monday after they fled their car following a "relatively minor" auto accident in Fleetwood. They were reported to be armed at the time, and Fleetwood police sought assist ance from state police who combed the nearby countryside. Detective Sgt. Leroy Lilly and Trooper Donald Halloway were in the area near the summer home of Dr. William Hamilton, a den tist, and stopped at the house to check on Mrs. Hamilton. The woman told them she was all right and had not seen anyone. Police said later the youths had guns trained on both her and the state policemen at the time.

(Clark's Studio) Soviet-Vatican Peace Efforts May End If Pope John Dies MOSCOW (UPI) Efforts by the Vatican and the Kremlin to smooth over the bitter relations between Roman Catholicism and communism may come to an abrupt end if Pope John XXIII dies.

The result, since early last year, has been a series of Kremlin gestures of friendship that would have been unthinkable in the days of Pius XII. It may be that they will be ruled out as well under the next Pope. Sends Messages Khrushchev, an avowed atheist. not only sent Pope John congratu latory messages on his birthday and when he was awarded the Balzan Peace Prize, but also dis patched his son-in-law, Izvestia ed itor Alexei Adzhubei, to Rome. Adzhubei had a private audience with the Pope. Simultaneously, leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church began making similar friendship ges tures. They sent two observers to the Ecumenical Council. Then early this year the Rus sian Orthodox journal Moscow Pa triarchy favorably reviewed the council's proceedings, particularly the Pope's stress on the need for peace. Evidence of Change The most tangible evidence of the new atmosphere in Communist Catholic relations was the ap parent progress toward arranging the departure of Joszef Cardinal Mindszenty from his refuge in the United States legation in Budapest. Whether the death of Pope John might affect these efforts is un known.

Destroyer Struck By Fire PORTLAND, Maine (UPI) A flash fire broke out in the boiler room of the destroyer USS Blandy today less than one hour after the ship arrived here to par ticipate in Memorial Day exer cises. Most of the 323 men aboard jumped or walked down the gang plank from the destroyer to tne Maine State Pier where it was tied up. A handful of sailors re mained aboard to help civilian firemen in putting out the blaze. Two sailors were overcome by smoke while fighting the fire. No one was seriously hurt. A Navy spokesman said the fire was touched off by lubricating oil which came in contact with a spark or a hot pipe after an oil gauge line broke. Five sailors were in the boiler room when the fire erupted. The Navy said it was the alertness of one of them, Boiler Technician J.D. Mitchell, Mountain Grove, Mo., who probably prevented a more serious blaze. He quickly turned off the flow of the oil and sealed off the boiler room from the rest of the ship by closing the entrance ways, the Navy spokesman said. The fire slightly damaged the equipment in the boiler room and scorched the paint. The blaze did not spread to other parts of the vessel. Firefighters used steam and foam in extinguishing the blaze. A Portland fire boat pulled up alongside the Blandy but its hoses were not needed. The Blandy was scheduled to hold open house for visitors today and Memorial Day. Today s pub lic visiting might be canceled, the Navy said. The entire crew returned to the ship at mid-morning, less than two hours after the fire startd.
