HOLDING HIGH PLACES in speculation concerning successor to Pope Pius XI, who suffered cerebral stroke, are these Roman Catholic Church leaders, according to Vatican reports. From left: Gregoire Pierre Cardinal Agagianian, 63, of Armenia; Eugene Cardi nal Tisserant, 74, of France, and Archbishop Giovanni Battista Montini, 59, of Milan. 4 r- Five Cardinals, One Prelate In Line as Successor To Pope v Vatican City-OIPD-Five Ital ian cardinals and a Russian born Armenian prelate head ed the list today of possible successors to Pope Pius XII. The new leader of the world's 450 million Roman Catholics will be chosen by a two-thirds plus one vote of the 55 members of the Sacred College of Cardinals. There was a possibility that the new Pope would be the first non-Italian chosen in 435 years. Non-Italians are in a majority in the college for the first time in centuries- 37 to 18. However, most observers predicted the cardinals would follow modern tradition and elect an Italian as the 263rd pope. American Chances Slim The chances of Francis Car dinal Spellman of New York and the other American car dinals of ascending the throne of St. Peter were con sidered rather slim for politi cal rather than personal rea sons. Widespread feeling was that the election of an Ameri can pope would give the im- Pope Started Law Education; Turned To Church at 18 Editor's note: Pius XII was the first "modern" pope- first to fly, first to use a typewriter. His travels took him over Europe, where in Germany he encountered Bolshevism face to face in 1919, and to North and South America. The following is the first of two dispatches on the personality and career of one of the most brilliant and human men of his time. Vatican City - (UPD - When Eugenio Pacelli was five years old he listened to an uncle, a missionary priest, who told him of the dangers of church work in the jungles of Brazil and of the martydom some missionaries had suffered. "I too, want to be a mar tyr," the boy said. "But with out nails." In a sense, he did suffer martyrdom. His later years were saddened by two world wars. He became Pope Pius XII only six months before the start of World War II. The son of a patrician fam ily, Eugenio Pacelli was a frail boy with melancholy eyes, his hair but in a bang across his forehead. Though frail, he had an ' intrepid spirit, and he was athletic. He never lost his boyhood love of sports. He was the first, "modern" pope. He was the first pope to fly-he made his first air plane flight in Germany in 1927-and the first to use a typewriter. He was the first to popularize radio speeches, he was keen on television ex perimenting. A Noble Family He was born March 2, 1876, within sight of the Vatican, third child of Filippo Pacelli. The family emblem is a dove of peace and the family name has been rendered as "pax caeli"-peace from heaven. The boy's early education had been pointed toward the law, but at 18 he decided to enter the priesthood. He went to the Capanica College in Rome to begin his ecclesastical studies. He used to study sometimes until 1 or 2 a.m. Then, up early, he would take a cold bath, do setting up exercises in his. room, drink a small cup of coffee, and start the day anew. He was ordained to the priesthood April 2, 1899. He took post-graduate courses at the university, spe cializing in civil and canon law. He was made a substitute professor of law and later titular professor of law and professor of diplomacy. While he was substitute pro fessor, he won the notice of the Vatican and was made an apprentice in the secretariat. His first job was to make copies of office documents. Magnetic Personality The studious boy had grown into a gentle, keen, modest man, untiring in his work, with a personality that was to endear him , all his life to those who knew him. The brilliance of the young priest was soon recognized. With the approval of Pope Pius X, he was persuaded to resign his professorship and give himself entirely to his Vatican work. His rise in the Vatican sec retariat was rapid. He made himself master of Latin, Greek, French, English, Span ish, German, Portuguese, Hun garian and Slovak in addition , to his own Italian. A papal nuncio wrote of him: "Pay attention to hfm, because we will see him on the throne of St. Peter." In 1917, Pope Benedict XV made him papal nuncio to Bavaria in Germany. At that time the Munich nunciature was the channel for all nego tiations between Germany and the Vatican. Pope Benedict had decided to make a supreme attempt to stop the war. The new nuncio went to see Kaiser Wilhelm II to present a papal appeal for peace. He got nowhere, but the Kaiser wrote in his diary: "Pacelli is a distinguished, understanding, most intelli gent person and of perfect manner. An ideal prince, in sum, of the Catholic church." Threatened By Reds , At the war's end the work ers of Bavaria declared a Bol shevik republic. Government and diplomats fled Munich. The nuncio stayed. One eve ning seven Reds arrived to requisition any available motor cars. The nuncio faced them, with their pistols and raised knives menacing him. They left. Next day the Reds trained machine guns on the building. German troops ar rived later and took over. Nuncio Pacelli wrote to friends: "I have seen weeks of the terror of the Bolshevik dicta torship and the civil war. I was menaced -with revolvers and grenades." After the war the papal nunciature of Berlin was established, and the future pope was made nuncio. He ne gotiated concordats-treaties-with Bavaria and Germany. So popular did he make himself in Berlin that when he left for home on a cold December night in 1929, to become secretary of state and a cardinal, Berliners lined the streets to see him off. As secretary of state Card inal Pacelli traveled widely. He visited South America and, in 1936, the United States. In the United States, where he was called the flying Card inal, he disclosed that many years before he had been of fered the professorship of law in the Catholic University in Washington, D. C. "Only the paternal refusal of the Holy Father Pius X prevented Washington from becoming my second home," he said. Coos Bay Area Bus Fare Hearings Slated Salem UPD Application of Gorst and King, Inc., for au thority to raise bus fares in the Coos Bay area about 10 per cent will be heard Oct. 22 at North Bend, Public Util ity Commissioner Howard Morgan said today. The company declared "the higher rates are necessary to meet increased operating costs. W. Give fT GREEN STAMPS CENTRAL REXALL DRUG Main and Central pression that the Catholie church was becoming involv ed in the political struggle between the East and West. Technically, any Catholic, either laymen or priest, could be chosen pope, but it has been an unwritten law since the days of Sixtus IV in the 15th Century that only car dinals are chosen. Among the most likely can didates are Ciacomo Cardinal Lecaro, . archbishop of Bo logna; Giuseppe Cardinal Siri of Genoa; Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, archbishop of Pa lermo, Sicily; Angelo Gui- seppe Cardinal Roncalli of Venice; Valerio Cardinal Va leri, a famed Vatican theolo- gist; and Gregory Peter XV Agagianian, Russian-born pa triarch of Cilicia of the Arme nians. Also mentioned is Msgr. Giovanni Battista Mon tini, archbishop of Milan, the only one of the "papabili" (potential popes) who is not a cardinal. Lercaro Mentioned Often The name most often men tioned by informed Vatican and Catholic sources is dy namic, fiery Cardinal Ler- caro, whose career in the church is almost without pre cedent in Catholic history. Cardinal Lercaro, 67, was just a simple parish priest in Genoa when in 1947 Pius XII made him a monsignor for a week and then archbishop of Ravenna. Cardinal Siri, at 52 the youngest member of the Sa cred College, is looked upon as an intellectual, humble but modern ecclesiast. During the war he became known as the "soup priest" because he dis tributed hot soup to the poor despite government restric tions and a scarcity of food. Cardinal Ruffini, born in northern Italy, showed great diplomatic tact in winning the confidence of Sicilians who have a great prejudice against northerners. The 70-year-old cardinal is consider ed one of the best administra tors and organizers in th Sacred College. ' ' Leading Church Diplomat - . Cardinal Roncalli, 77, is regarded as one of the lead ing diplomats of the church. He won high praise from the late Pope for his excellent work' yas papal nuncio in : France and . was called back to the Roman Curia with a red hat because of his ability. Cardinal Valeri, 75, Is a famed ' thelogist who once taught ecclesiatical law in the Pontifical Juridical Univer sity of St. Apollonary in Rome. Cardinal Valeri also worked in papal diplomatic posts in Egypt, Palestine, Bucharest and Paris. Cardinal Agagianian, 63, is the only non-Italian on the list. He is considered a pos sibility because he repre sents a "bridge" between East and West. An expert on lan guages, the Cardinal has made speeches in Rome in six different tongues. He was a personal friend of the Pope and has spent 15 years at the, Vatican as a cardinal- in the Curia. Msgr. Montini, 61, was of fered the cardinal's hat by Pope Pius XII in the con sistory of January, 1953, but turned it down. He is the only non-cardinal seriously consid ered for Pope. Montini is a skilled diplomat and first- rate administrator. For many years he was a close collabo rator of the Pope as pro-secretary of state for 'ordinary affairs in the Vatican and was called the Vatican's "unoffi cial foreign minister."
