Pope By WILLIAM SUNDERLAND United Prsit International Vatican City (UPD "Hand me a wrench," shouted the mechanic lying on his back under a black limousine. He waited impatiently for one of his assistants to give him the tool. Nothing hap pened so he shouted again, angrily: "What the devil's going on? I can't stay under here all day." In exasperation he wriggled out from under the limousine. First he saw the soft doeskin slippers on the grease-stained concrete floor of the Vatican garage. Then his eyes took in the massive girth of a white clad figure, and finally looked into a smiling face. Pope John XXIII reached over, took an oily wrench from the fender of the auto and handed it to the flabber gasted mechanic. "Your wrench, my son," he said. Two bearded, stove - pipe hatted Russians stood in that room of artistic marvels, the Vatican's Sistine Chapel where Michelangelo painted almost five centuries ago. On the Russian's faces was a look of awe as the little man in white pumped their hands and said, "welcome, welcome . . It was the first time in nine centuries that representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church and a Pope had been so close. Pope John, with a grin, giv ing a blessing to what he baptized in Latin as a "heli copterum" in the Vatican courtyard of St. Damasus. Then holding onto his little white skull cap as the ma chine whirled up with a blast of wind from its blades and clattered away over the gold en dome of St. Peter's Basili ca. This is Pope John, a man of many surprises. Temporal head of a golf - course - sized state of 108 acres.

John arch of Venice and an ex perienced Vatican diplomat, had Just been elected Pontiff. Ho took the name John. Called An Interim Pop "An interim Pope," said the experts. "He is an old man who will sit on the throne of Peter for awhile and then make way for a younger, more energetic Pontiff. Who could immediately follow the brilliant Pius XII?" But here he is, four years later, a dynamic figure. John already has taken his place in church history, and not just as another in a list of 262 names of Popes but as a driving force behind moderni zation and expansion of the Roman Catholic Church. As he nears his 81st birth day (on Nov. 25) he has seen his greatest dream and what he obviously considers the most important work of his Pontificate come true. This is the second Vatican council, the first gathering of all church hierarchy in 92 years and the 21st in nearly 20 cen turies of Christian history. It opened in the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica Oct. 11. Hopes for Re-Uniting With this council, Pope John hopes to bring closer a day he knows he will never live to see but which he is certain will come - the day when all Christian religions re-unite. The more Immediate aim of the council, however, is to bring the church into line with the space age. More than 2,500 council "fathers" gath ered In Rome from around the world are discussing an agenda of 70 topics that in cludes everything from chasti ty and marriage to the liturgy and religious liberty. Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli Mrs. Green For Troubles of 87th By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Washington (Special) - Rep. Edith Green blames Republi cans for most of the legislative woes of the 87th Congress, and true to the D e m o cratic code, praises the D e m o c rats and the Presi dent for all its a c co mplish ments. She gave her opin Franklin ions on congressional legisla tive labors shortly before leaving Washington for Port land. Failure to pass the federal aid for higher education bill was "a terrible disappoint ment," she said. "Republicans made the motion to go to con ference (this tied up the bill), and the Republicans made the motion to recommit. Only 30 Republicans voted for it." Mrs. G r e e n's Republican colleagues, Walter Nor b 1 a d and Edwin R. Durno, voted against the college construc tion bill, citing scholarships, included by the conferees, as their reason for opposition. Mrs. Green cited the Han ford Power Reactor as a meas ure which the Democrats had pushed and which most Re publicans had opposed. She noted that at one point In the fight only seven Republicans voted for it, but when it final ly passed the House it had bi partisan support. "Outside of the two major defeats - medicare for the aged and education - which were opposed by the big ma jority of Republicans, I would say that this has been the best session of Congress within my own experience," she said. Asked For Benefits "When Kennedy came into office," she continued, "in January, 1961, we had just gone through a recession. He immediately asked for tem porary unemployment bene fits. Congress responded and two months later placed on his' desk a bill authorizing these benefits. His first execu tive order was to increase the amount of surplus food to needy people." She noted that Portland had also been designated a food stamp area. Mrs. Green said that the Trade Expansion Bill would mean the most to the Ameri can economy of all the legisla tion passed.

He was the third of 13 children. At the age of 11, it is said, he de cided he wanted to become a priest. He was ordained on Aug. 10, 1904. After serving as secretary to the Bishop of Bergamo, he held several oth er posts until he started his long and varied diplomatic a sues She regretted that no spe cific legislation had been pass ed to aid the lumber industry, but she gave as hopeful signs the fact that the President had proposed an eight-point pro gram to improve the lumber business, and said a bill had been introduced calling for a new Assistant Secretary fbr Forestry in the Agriculture Department. "No single piece of legisla tion caught the imagination of the people like the Peace Corps," she declared. "Through this Democratic Ad ministration and Democratic Congress we have again said to the people of the world 'we are concerned about your problems." Alliance Praised She also praised the Al liance for Progress as a good first step in Latin America be cause "these countries must bring about tax and land re forms if they are going to get help from the United States." She praised action of the Congress in voting foreign aid and support for the United Nations bond issue, calling the UN "the greatest deterrent to war that we have."

Dr. Homer Newell, direc tor, space sciences for the Na tional Aeronautics and Space administration, Washington. D.C., said the "man trained in space science should be the one who has worked on a space science problem while being trained in depth in physics, chemistry, mathemat ics, bioscience or another field." "Let us make sure that the people being trained do not turn out to be jack-of-all trades and masters of none," he added. Dr. Newell spoke at the dedication of OSU's new $5,000,000 physics-chemistry building. In his talk on "Op portunities for Universities in the Field of Space Science." Dr. Newell said progress in the space program is being used by other countries of the world to judge the rela tive capabilities of the Unit ed States and the USSR. International cooperation between nations in tracking satellites can play a part in developing a world in which nuclear energy, space knowl edge and technology and oth er achievements of science and technology, will be used, "not for the terrible things they can do, but for the won derful and good things thfy can achieve."

From 1935 to 1944, he held the twin posts as apos tolic vicar and delegate to Turkey and apostolic delegate to Greece. Difficult Assignment When the war came to an end, the late Pope Pius XII named Roncalli to one of the most difficult assignments in the Vatican: Nuncio to Paris. Republican Conq ress nate poverty, disease and il literacy in other countries is worth the S2 per day that each U.S. citizen pays for the program. Probably in no other way and no cheaper way can we teach what democracy means, and overcome the wild promises made by the Com munists," she said. Mrs. Green also pointed to the legislation calling for an Arms Control and Disarma ment Agency as "another ma jor piece of legislation and recognition by this Congress that all hope isn't in military equipment. It is a start, and it could be the most significant thing in the future of the world."

In a frame with the picture were three pens used in sign ing tiiree bills sponsored by Mrs. Green: the Juvenile De linquency Act, passed last year; funds to provide more teachers for the blind; and transfer of Freedman's hos pital. Other bills the Democrats could point to with pride, she contended, were housing legis lation, with emphasis on hous ing for the elderly; increase of the minimum wage for cer tain Industries In interstate commerce; manpower re training to help those in de pressed areas find new jobs; the depressed areas bill to help communities attract new industry; a water pollution bill; tax revision; tightening of drug controls and a stand by public works bill. "It Is far better to have peo ple employed in constructive work than to hand out doles," she maintained, "and the pub lic works bill will be a tre mendous boost to the economy in every state of the Union.

On Oct. 25, 1958, Cardinal Roncalli gathered with his fellow princes of the church in the ornate Sistine Chapel to begin the conclave for the election of a new pontiff, and was locked up in the Vatican with them. He was assigned a small apartment. Three days later Angelo Roncalli appeared on the bal cony overlooking St. Peter's Square as Pope John XXIII. He was crowned Pontiff in a spectacular ceremony at St. Peter's on Nov. 4. Most of what is known about Pope John revolves about his buoyant personality, the colorful anecdotes some times overshadowing his shrewd, diplomatic mind. The figure he creates, a hefty old man, still young in spirit and heart, brings forth affection from Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Like No Previous Pope He acts like no previous Pope, dashing off to see pris oners in a Rome jail and mak ing 400-mile railroad pilgrim age to the shrines of Loreto and Assisi to pray for the suc cess of the council. The tradi tion of confinement annoys him. If the Ecumenical Council is the most important event of Pope John's reign so far, his ercyclical "Mater ct Mag- istra" (mother and teacher) might rank second. In this wide - sweeping document is sued July 14, 1961, Pope John made some points that had conservatives saying he had "gone left." He said: -Attaching political ties to aid to underdeveloped coun tries is simply another form of colonialism. -The theory that world pop- Missing Pilot Awarded Medal Washington The Defense Department has announced that an Air Force pilot offi cially "missing in action" fol lowing a reconnaissance flight over Cuba will be awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. Word that the pilot, Maj. Rudolf Anderson Jr., was "missing in action" came in a telegram from Gen. Thomas A. Power, head of the stra tegic Air Command. Power's telegram, sent to Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Ander son Sr., Greenville, S.C., ex pressed the General's "grave personal concern and deep regret" that their son "must now be officially declared as missing in action." The department announced Saturday night that Anderson was presumed lost after his unarmed reconnaissance plane made a surveillance flight over Cuba. "In view of the high valor displayed by your son during this operation I have request ed and received authority to award him the Distinguished Service Medal, the nation's highest decoration that can be awarded to a military man under these circumstances," Power said.

Pope John follows a sched ule that would punish a younger man. Up before dawn, he often does not get to bed until after midnight-al- though he does incline to a short Italian "siesta" in the afternoon. He has never been known to be seriously ill. He weighs over 200 pounds, a lot for his five foot, four inch frame. But it seems to sit well on him. Pope John appreciates, nev ertheless, that he is in his twi light years and is philosophi cal about it. "I have great confidence in the future," he once said, "but I am ready to go even to night.
