The babble of strange tongues in the square came to a halt and picturesque pontifical guards pre sented arms as the 79-year-old Pope appeared on the loggia of St. Peter's, his slender form framed above a giant. banner. The Pope made clear his faith in the ultimate benefit of science's advances in the nuclear field. He had ome cautions. One had ' the familiar accent of statements by some ' Americans fearful of too many atomic tests and the result ant atomic fall-out "The horrors of monstrous off spring, and worse still, the hidden shocks caused to parental genes, would then give indication of the revolt of nature against such vi olence" ; -v v: JERUSALEM UH Thoi sands of Easter pilgrims Prote rants, Roman Catholics, Greek Qr odox and others thronged Jerusalem Sunday to worship at Christen dom's holiest shrines. For Catholics and Protestants it was the traditional Easter service of the risen Christ. But it was Palm Sunday for Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Egyptian Coptic, Syrian Orthodox, and Ethiopian Chris tians. They follow the old Julian calen dar which is behind the Gregorian one used throughout the West and in many countries elsewhere in the world. Their Easter is next Sun day. Liturgies ,were read In nearby chapels in the Latin, Greek, Egyp tian Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopian, and ancient Syrian languages. Sy rian is similar to Aramaic, which Jesus spoke. The government Bureau of Tour ism in the Arab-held old city of Jerusalem reported a record num ber of visitors this year. The un easy frontier between Jordan and Israel remained quiet ' . The Roman Catholics made their colorful pilgrimage from Jewish held New Jerusalem ' to the old city, site of the holy shrines. The Latin patriarch, ranking Catholic prelate in Jerusalem, left his par- triarchate near the Jaffa gate leading into the walled old city at 6:15 a.m. He was "preceded by 10 liveried dragomen interpreter guides who beat silver-tipped batons on the stone pavement , as they led the way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the traditional site of Christ's burial. - At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, -the pilgrims , had to stoop as they passed through the small, low door. Inside they paused before the stone of unction, where tradition says the body of . Christ was anointed for burial. - Philippines Tremor Fatal to Woman MANILA W) The Red Cross said Sunday that a young woman died of shock during Good Friday's earth tremors in the Southern Philippines. The fatality occurred at Ozamiz City on Mindanao Island the same area where hundreds died the pre vious week during violent earthquakes. Indian 'Root' Feast Ends MADRAS, Ore.
