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

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.

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.

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

Congress we have again said

She praised action of the

"Let us make sure that the

Mrs. Green also pointed to
the legislation calling for an

recognition by this Congress
that all hope isn't in military

chance of becoming pope that
he bought a round trip ticket
from Venice to Rome and
back.
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

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
