Catholics Visit Tomb Vatican City, Aug 21 The tomb of the blessed Pope Pius X In the Vatican grottos was visited Sunday by more than 200,000 Catholics from various European and American countries. Icardi has 'branded the de fense department's charges as "absurd, vicious and completely untrue." Lodolce also has denied that he and Icardi poisoned and then shot Holohan with the helb of two Italian partisans. The army's refusal of Icaridi's offer apparently left only two alternatives for Italian courts to try the two Americans in ab sentia or for this government to extradite them if the Italian government makes a formal re quest. The two have retained counsel and have Indicated they will fight extradition. American civil authorities cannot prosecute the two men because the murder was on for eign soil. And military author ities are stymied because Icardi and Lodolce are no longer in the army. . . An army spokesman explain ed that the break in Icardi's service would prevent him from being court martialed under the old law, which applies in his case. The new unified code of military justice, which became effective last May 31, provides for bringing men back Into service to stand court martial. But this cannot apply to Icardi or Lodolce because the code is not retroactive. The court of Assizes in No- varra, Italy, has moved to ex tradite the two men for trial there'. Italian officials said they were named in confessions of two Italian paristans held on charges of compliciy in the slay ing. The OSS mission of Holhan, Lodolce and Icard was to sup ply arms and ammunition to guerrilla bands fighting behind Nazi lines. a 1 1 v.

Spit-and-Polish Doormen Get Rough Time in Parliament London, Aug. 21 tfP) An economy-minded parliamentary com mittee asked today whether some-of Britain's embassies abroad couldn t do without their spit-and-polish doormen, some of whom get more money than junior diplomats stationed in London. The house of commons' select committee on estimates parlia- mentary watchdog over expen ditures published the results of its investigation into the high cost of running the country s far flung embassies. The report points an accusing finger at the British embassy doorman in Buenos Aires and other like places who gets pounds ($63) in special overseas allowance well above the level of some of his superiors back home. The idea of the extra overseas pay has been that it is essential for the empire's representatives abroad even down to the door manmust keep up the tradi tional stiff-shirted appearances of the good old days. The committee cited the door man as one luxury which well might be cut out in an effort to pare a little off of the continu ally soaring cost of running for eign missions.

The builder can apply to the national production authority for an allotment of the metals needed or, if the use of such materials will be limited in amount, he can use the self cer tificated plan. In the latter case the builder certifies that the materials come within the regu lations of the NPA. Asked if there will be a check on the builder of smaller pro jects, Gore expressed the belief that few operations of this nature will be inspected perhaps not more than two per cent. 'The government is swinging to a plan of controlled materials," said Gore. He added that there was no restriction on the use of nails except as they were in cluded in an over all maximum of critical metals. The use of metals is based on the size of the unit under constructio. "So far," added Gore, "there has been no trouble in securing materials for light construction."

Long wave lengths, (low frequency signals) go farther in salt water than do short waves, (high frequency signals). ajlM,.tf!'ijyjii.iii-Mi...i Rules for Young Bike Riders ... There's probably no greater thrill in a youngster's life than When he receives his first bi cycle. It's his first major step toward independence and there's a keen pride in his sense of ownership. Rarely ever do children con sider that a bicycle leads them on new pathways to dan ger. That's why the National Safety Council has established the following rules for bicycle safety: Always ride on the right side of the street. Don't stunt or weave .. ride in single file. Don't carry passengers. Stop for red lights and stop signs and obey signals. Don't hitch onto autos, trucks or street cars. Avoid riding after dark. If you must ride make certain your lights and reflectors are in good condition. Above all, know and cbey all traffic laws. They per tain to you as well as to auto drivers.

Powder Puff Winner to Wed Detroit, Aug. 21 U$) Blonde Clare McMillan was all smiles today over winning the annual transcontinental "Powder Puff" air derby because her share of $850 first prize money would help her set up housekeeping.

But her return trip to Santa Ana, where the 1,919 mile race started last Wednesday, was postponed until after the wedding.
