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.

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."
