Ore., Wedneidiy, October 29, 1958 : i H Pageantry To Mark Coronation of Hew Pope Vatican Cily 'TPI' Pope John XXIII today set the date of his coronation for Tuesday, Nov. 4. Vatican City -UPD- Unex celled pageantry and cere mony will surround Pope John XXIII on the day of his coronation, but the new pon tiff will place flax into a .con suming flames and hear the words: "Thus passes the glory of the world." The coronation of the su preme pastor of the Roman Catholic Church, expected to take place Sunday, Nov. 9, will be in an age-old pattern designed to remind the Pope and his people of the glory and humility of his high of fice.

When the late Pius XII was elected in 1939, he was first listed- as the 262nd pope of the Catholic Church. This was based on the assumption that the first six popes of the church were: (1) Peter, (2), Lino, (3) Cleto, (4) Clement, (5) Anacleto, and (6) Everisto. The constant research that goes on in the church, how ever, established in the early 1940s that Cleto and Anacleto were most likely the same person. The list was then re vised to make the first six popes thus: Peter, Lino, St. Anacleto or Cleto, St. Cle ment, St. Everist and St. Alexander I. Thus, the late Pope Pius XII himself moved back one to number 261 and the newly elected pope becomes 262. American Airlines Asks Rale Increase Washington -(UPD- American Airlines requested an 8.5 per cent fare increase today to meet increased costs in the jet age. The airline filed a brief with Civil Aeronautics Board examiner urging the rate in crease be allowed over the boosts which became effective Feb. 10. The brief said American needs the higher fare level to provide the public with "ade quate and efficient air service in the jet age." "Passenger fares must be set at a level which will per mit the carriers to acquire these craft, to meet the obli gations attendant upon the fi nancing of such acquisition, and to operate them effective ly," American said.

Once inside, secular pomp will give way to the solemni t of a Pontifical Mass, which the Pope will say and for which he will be "paid" to re mind him that he still has the responsibilities of a simple priest. He will take handfuls of flax three times and thrust them into a small burner, watching the flax pass into smoke "sic transit gloria mundi" (thus pass the glories of the world.) Crowds Shout Adoration Outside, a crowd of up to half a million persons will fill St. Peter's Square and the streets all the way to the Tiber to shout their adoration "Viva il Papa"-Long Live the Pope. A lucky 30,000 special tick et holders will pack St. Peter's Basilica to See Pope John re cite the Pontifical Mass. But all the rest, about 300,000 in St. Peter's Square and tens of thousands more in the adja cent streets, will see the ac tual crowning, when the Pon tiff sits on the basilica's cen tral balcony to receive the three-tiered papal crown. Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals, will place the crown on the Pontiffs head. "A golden crown is placed upon his head," a choir will sing. Then the cardinal will re cite the only prayer accom panying the coronation, the Lord's Prayer. For all its splendor, the cor onation ceremony involves no elaborate formal oath and does not have the same signif icance as the coronation of a temporal sovereign or swear ing in of a chief of state. Became Pope Tuesday' Pope John became sover eign pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church Tuesday at the instant he replied "I ac cept" to his election. , Until the Sixteenth Cen tury the coronation took place in the Basilica of St. John the Lateran, then at the balcony of St. Peter's as it is today. When Italy was unified in 1870, secular hostility to the church led the coronation cer emony to be moved inside the basilica instead of on the bal cony. With the coronation of the late Pope Pius XII, Italy made peace with the church and the ceremony was back on the balcony. Black Substance Smeared on Panes Two persons on West Eighth st. reported to Med- ford city police Tuesday eve ning that a black sticky sub stance had been smeared on cars and houses in the area. Olive Roosevelt Harding, 1112 West Eighth st., reported that the substance, believed to be a form of gasket var nish, had been smeared on the windows of her car park ed at her residence. Sidney Loretta Brenne man, 1110 West Eighth st., re ported that the same sticky substance had been smeared on the front window, a side door and window at the residence.

Some of Catholic Church's Gravest Problems Facing Pope Vatican City - (UPD - Pope John XXIII, faced with some of the gravest problems in Roman Catholic Church his tory, was expected today to call a consistory "before the end of January" to name new cardinals. The problems ranged from the severe menace of atheistic Communism to the need to revamp the entire Vatican ad ministrative machinery and replenish the depleted ranks of priests and missionaries around the world. The new Pope also faced an upsurge of materialism, apathy and cynicism in his own Roman Catholic Italy. High Vatican officials said the speed with which the new Pope appointed conclave sec retary Msgr. Alberto Di Jorio as cardinal Tuesday indicated swift action would be taken to replenish the strength of the Sacred College. Only 52 cardinals, exclusive of the new appointee still to Italian Villagers Pray as Selection Of New Pope Told Sotto II Monte, Italy -OJPD-' There is a house of square cut stones, covered with grape vines, at the top of a nar row cobblestone street, and from the window of the room where the boy slept he could see the green valley below the hillside sloping down to where the River Adda flows. His family had lived in the village-in the stone house for five centuries. This is the village, a cluster of farmhous es linked by paths, a place of legends and memories of ancient times. An old bell tower and a chapel still stand atop the hill at the end of a poplar-lined road. Villagers Rejoice Tuesday night, there was rejoicing and cheering here.

Court and McAndrews Tel: SP 2-2111 For Angelo Giuseppe Roncal li knows virtually every one of the 1,773 villagers by name. Led by the parish priest, Pietro Bosio, they rush ed to the town's center. Many knelt to pray on the cobble stones. Angelo's three broth ers still living here went to the parish church to pray. The boy Angelo had been born in his farm family's stone house on Nov. 25, 1881, here in Sotto il Monte, which in Italian means "under the mountain." It is near Ber gamo, 40 miles east of Milan. His father was a sharecrop per for Count Ottavio Mog lani. He was a hard-working man who reared 13 children and managed to save money to buy himself a small field of his own. He had counted on Angelo Giuseppe, his third child and eldest son, to help him in the fields. Had Other Ideas At the age of 11, Angelo had other ideas. He told his father he wanted to . become a priest. The" father agreed. In time, the boy who had slept on an iron cot in the stone house became a cardi nal of the church. But he spent his summers and holi days here, in the family home. And so it was that when Angelo last left the stone house, and the village, early this month he traveled to Rome for the funeral of Pope Pius XH-and the conclave that Tuesday elected him the new pope. And according to Vatican sources in Rome, the name that he took for himself as supreme pontiff, "Giovanni," or John, was chosen to honor his father, whose first name was John -the father who had not objected to his leaving the fields to dedicate his life to God. be consecreated, are left of the 70 who filled the college after - the late Pope Pius XII named 24 new princes of the church in 1953. Two of these, Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary and Aloysius . Card inal Stepinac of Yugoslavia, are virtual prisoners behind the Communist Iron Curtain. The new pontiff ascended the throne of St. Peter at one of the most critical times for the Roman Catholic Church - at a time when 4Js very sur vival is menaced in many lands by Communism. Also important, according to Vatican observers, was the problem presented by the in ternal condition of the church. Despite modernization and innovations during the 19 year reign of Pius XII, Vati can machinery has been op erating at a comparative 19th Century pace in. a moon rocket age. The late pope him self seemed far ahead of the vision of the churchmen around him. Some Vatican observers said Pope John never may succeed in matching Pope Pius's horizon-spanning grasp of almost all topics. But, they said, he may broaden antl quicken the scope and pace of the entire Vatican adminis trative apparatus. This could have a more significant effect on the church than the actions of one man, even if Supreme Pontiff, the observers said. Seedlings Ready For Planting Salem -Nearly nine million forest tree seedlings will be available from the 'two state forestry department nurser ies for forest and' farm wood lot planting throughout the state during the coming plant ing season, according to As sistant State Forester C. D. Maus. There will be 17 different species which are adaptable to nearly all climatic condi tions in the state and fill most of the needs for forest production and products such as posts, poles, fuel and logs as well as shelter for the farm buildings, livestock and or chards, Maus stated. Order blanks have been issued and can be picked up at the various state for estry department headquart ers, the county agents' offices or directly from the state forester's office in Salem. The blanks contain a list of the trees and cost, as well as brief instruction as to ordering pro cedure of the seedlings. John Among Most Popular Papal Names Vatican City - (UPD - Pope John XXIU chose the most popular of the 89 papal names recorded in the an nals of Roman Catholic church history. It was so popular in fact, that the Vatican chronicles list 23 pope Johns even though only 21 men actually used the name.

Central sS Drugs Main and pentral RELIABLE PRESCRIPTIONS With This Editorial Which Appeared in the Oregonian on Friday, October 24, 1958 Entitled v Why Hatfield Should Be Go vernor 99 , Despite the sporsity of major conflicts In the campaign for governor of Oregon, the voters should not be lulled. There are deep-running issues and principles sepa- rating the two candidates. The course of government in Oregon, and its effects on taxation and economic improvement, could be set for many years by this election. The editors of this newspaper count themselves as personally friendly to Robert D. Holmes, governor for the past two years and previously a four-term state senator. We have approved some of his policies and appointments in office, while disapproving others. At guberna torial records go, his is a cut above the average. Yet we do not favor his re election. - He has not demonstrated strong lead ership and independence of thought and action, anailment which also afflicted some of his Republican predecessors. We believe he would like to be a stronger and more independent chief executive. But he is a captive of the forces which elected him organized labor leaders, grange leaders, public power spokesmen, commercial fishing interests,, et al. His Vacillations in the past two years seem to be surface indications of the influences, perhaps a major one being union labor financing of his campaigns, which shape and limit his ability to act. governor in the nation this year; warm, friendly, an excellent speaker, well edu cated and an educator, a student of gov ernment with a clear-cut goal of major service in public office. His support in 1 956 when he defeated State. Sen. Mon roe Sweetland, Democratic- leader, for secretary of state came from both political parties. He is liberal in the best sense of that word. He is friendly to labor and business alike but pledged to neither, seeing in the governorship an opportunity to be of assistance to both and to lessen the bruising conflicts of labor-management strife. Gov. Holmes has revealed a disturbing tendency to shoot from the hip, without proper investigation of the facts, on many occasions. But more than that, he has acted in a manner which threatens harm to the state. For examples: - The governor's appointments and or ders to the State Water Resources Board seem designed to make a political vehicle out of that important resource body. He muzzled the Game and Fish Commissions to the detriment of the presentation of facts in federal hearings. His many pa tronage appointments have upset several departments and displaced men of long and valued service. The Republican opponent of Gov. Holmes, Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, on the other hand, has kept himself so free of entangling alliances that his cam paign spending has suffered as a result. It is no secret that the so-called Republi can "Old Guard," which for many years carried the brunt of financing GOP can didates, has contributed little money to and has been kept at arm's length from Mr. Hatfield's campaigns. - " ... No candidate for govern o r since Charles A. Sprague was elected in 1938 has So scrupulously preserved his freedom to act in the interests of all the people as has Mark Hatfield. In the primary cam paign, Mr. Hatfield stayed out of the red while defeating two strong opponents, Sig Unander and Warren Gill, on. a mini mum budget contributed by nearly 800 individuals. In the Democratic primary, Gov. Holmes was running up a $16,000 deficit and who has made that up re mains unexplained. Any contributions ac cepted by Mr. Hatfield ore without com - mitments. When Sen. Wayne L. Merse accused Mr. Hatfield of being the "protege" of the president of a private utility company, the absurdity was apparent. That execu tive opposes legislation now in the works for d federal Regional Power Corporation. He opposes a constitutional amendment on the Oregon ballot to establish a State Power Commission. Mr. Hatfield strongly favors both concepts, and has stood firm against attacks in his own party for doing so. While disparaging Mr. Hatfield's de mands for economy in government, and actual examples of savings in the secre tary of state's office, Gov. Holmes pro-" poses much greater state expenditures without suggesting how these may be financed. His promise of increasing the. state school support program to 50 per cent of local district Costs; his advocacy of a 156-million-dollar bond issue for state institutions, and other plans forecast a tremendous increase in the state budget if he is re-elected and gains control of the Legislature. Gov. Holmes' leadership failed most notably in the taxation field He left the 1957 Legislature floundering, after cam paigning against the 45 per cent "Repub lican surtax" on incomes. As a result, the Democratic - controlled Assembly boosted the income tax instead of reducing it. Then, when it wat learned there would be a 70 - million dollar surplus. Gov. Holmes called a special session. First, he advocated a 7 per cent reduction in the surplus, then a 1 0 per cent reduction. Due to a strong stand by a bipartisan group of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, who sought a 30 per cent cut, the eventual reduction was 18 per cent. And still there will be a surplus of more than 30 million dollars. In our opinion, Mark Hatfield offers "a great deal to the people of Oregon. This' promise stems from his personal integrity, intelligence and knowledge of govern- ment, courage, independence, clear and imaginative thinking, and basic fair mindedness. -Af the age of 36, and with maturity beyond his years, Mark Hatfield is proba bly the most exceptional candidate for. A detailed probing of Gov. Holmes' brief record as chief executive would fill this page. In summation, we believe that if he continues in office he will encourage high spending, and higher taxation, an all-out public power movement such as grange and labor failed to get on this year's ballot, heavier burdens on employ er in the form of unemployment compen sation, and more state dependence on federal handouts. The Oregonian favors the election of Mark Hatfield, who has demonstrated competence in administration, sound judgment in weighing benefits against costs, an open mind on resource, labor and management questions, and freedom to act in the broad interests of the great majority of Oregon's citizens.
