Scott Handed Political Slap By Young GOP SALT LAKE CITY, June 26-CP) Young republicans! appeared to day to have given ; COP National chairman Hugh D.: Scott. Jr., the kind of political spanking he a voided last January from the GOP national committee. In a turbulent convention that showed there is a lot of life left in the youngsters if not the "old guard" the youthful GOP mem bers installed John Tope of De troit, Mich., for a two-year term as their national chairman. There were reports that Scott -didn't care for that result, al though he proclaimed on several occasions that he . wasn't taking any hand in the yoUng federation's politics. Scott- fared better at Omaha. Neb., in January when ho kept his job by a four-vote mar gin in a national committee test Forced Out of Race There were signs that the GOP chairman had forced Frank C. P. McGIinn, Philadelphia lawyer, out of the race here after McGiinn's friends had won a I fight to seat a Pennsylvania delegation favorable to him. The effect of McGiinn's with drawal was to make Laughlin E. Waters, young California legislator who has been backing Gov. Earl Warren's program vigorously, the leading candidate. The anti-Scott forces in the con vention went to work and finally came up with Tope, a relative un known who probably wouldn't have been high in i the running if delegates' feeling hadn't been so strong against what some of them called national committee attempts at "domination." Fought to Finish Tope and Waters fought it out to a finish - which involved Tope's officially having been de clared a winner oh a first ballot and finally an unchallenged win ner after a near-riot forced a sec ond ballot. Then, as if to polish off the re jection of anyone connected with the national committee, the con vention elected Miss Louis Re plogle of Montana as1 co-chairman by an overwhelming vote over Miss Arlene Jones, a Washington employe of the national group.

The unofficial Vatican press service said the article, prepared under the name of Prof. Guiseppe Nocolosi, architectural overseer of the Vatican, after 10 years of ex cavations, will be printed soon in the monthly publication "Eccle sia." Largest Church St. Peter's Basilica Is the larg est church in Christendom and the central shrine of the Roman Cath olic faith. It was constructed by the Emperor Constantine in 326 A. D. There never has been posi tive proof that St. Peter, who, ac cording to tradition, was crucified under the reign of Nero in about 64 to 68 A. D., is buried beneath the church, but it is a tradition long held by the . faithful. Pope Pius XII declared last January 30, however, that archeo logical findings "demonstrate that St Peter's tomb "is and was under the cupola of St. Peter's church."' Foremost Apostle St. Peter was the foremost apostle of Jesus Christ and the first Pope. The Vatican press service, in its preview of the forthcoming arti cle, said the new evidence includ ed the following factors: A cemetery zone discovered be neath the basilica confirms the tradition that St. Peter was buried somewhere the circus of Gaius and Hero, an ancient sports arena be side which the basilica was built.
