Guitar Suggested As Mass Background Vatican City (UPD Record ed guitar music in some in stances provides a fine back ground for the mass, a group of United Slates priests here for the Vatican Ecumenical council told a news confer ence Saturday. Their comments came as the council ended its third week of discussion with a de bate on sacred music and the instruments which may be used in church. The music and instru ments come under the broad topic of the liturgy, or public worship. The present rules governing the music arc almost a half-century old. The U. S. priests, taking their key from the wider council debate, said organ mu sic most often found in west irn churches can be impracti cal for missions and outposts in jungles and other places where even a compact "camp'' organ is hard to carry.

N. Y.-H'PP-Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, the shy and self-imagined "ugly duckling" orphan who in womanhood found true beauty through service to humanity, rests in death beside her husband in the rose garden they had tend ed together in life. Under a heavy November sky, with a light rain that started with the Lord's Prayer and continued through the lowering of the casket, the "First Lady of the World" was buried Saturday after noon alongside the grave of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd president of the United States. They had been parted, until now, by Franklin Roose velt's wartime death in office in 1945. Distinguished Mourners President Kennedy and for mer Presidents Eisenhower and Truman headed a group of distinguished mourners who came through the autumn seared mid-Hudson hills to the ancestral Roosevelt estate, country home of the late President's family since 1819. The 78-year-old Mrs. Roose velt, niece of President Theo dore Roosevelt, died Wednes day in New York after a battle of more than two years with anemia and tuberculosis. After a heavy early morn ing rain, the sky began clear ing blue with floating patchy clouds shortly be fore the funeral service start ed at 2:10 p.m. in the quaint 115-year-old stucco St. James Episcopal church. A gentle breeze ruffled the huge pine trees overlooking the grave and fluttered the bright flowers in the 40 wreaths set on stands behind a great white oblong headstone bearing the names of both Franklin Delano and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. The stone was still wet and glistening when the Rev. Dr. Gordon L. Kidd, for 16 years j Mrs. Roosevelt's rector at St. j James, delivered a graveside eulogy saying that the world had suffered an irreparable loss. Shortly before 2 p.m., the President escorted Mrs. Ken nedy up the short walk to the church. She was wearing a black suit and black mink hat and he wore a dark blue suit. Following them were the tribute Franklin services Saturday at Hyde Park, N.Y. Trumans and Magaret Tru man Daniel, New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, Adlai E. Stevenson, Mayor and Mrs. Robert F. Wagner of New York, Chief Justice and Mrs. Earl Warren, and Justice and Mrs. Arthur Goldberg. Others included Assistant Secretary of State Avcrell Harriman and his wife, for mer Treasury Secretary Hen ry Morgcnthau, former Inter ior Secretary Oscar Chap man, former Postmaster Gen eral James A. Farley, and U.S.I.A. Director Edward R. Murrow. Overflowing Vice President and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson and the Trumans occupied a pew sec tion with the Kennedys dur ing the 30-mlnute service in the red-carpeted, stained-glass-windowed church. Across from them in the dark oak pews sat Eisenhower and Rockefeller, among others. The church has a seating ca pacity of about 200 and it was filled to overflowing. Members of the family ar rived at 2:10 p.m., led by Mrs. Roosevelt's daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Halstcd, and her husband, Dr. James Hal sled. Franklin, Jr., directed the others to scats'; James, the oldest son, bowed his head, son John and wife knell mo mentarily, and Elliott fol lowed. The intermittent sun faded and the weather turned blust ery as the coffin was rolled from the church at 2:45 p.m. The funeral cavalcade moved off under lowering skies. Hundreds of children stood along the road with their par ents. More than 3,000 persons lined the route to the Roose velt estate. Bugle Sounded The coffin was carried to the grave, the four Roosevelt brothers following it. Mrs. Kennedy bit her lip while Truman. Kennedy, and Eisen hower stared at the ground. Rain fell. Somewhere be hind the tall hedge a lone bu gle sounded taps. Many wom en in the crowd wept when the final note of the call died away over the Hudson. Truman and Eisenhower looked at each other, smiled, and shook hands. Kennedy walked over and shook hands with both. The mourners at the grave included Comedian Danny Kaye, in a tan raincoat and hat. A burly man stood in front of the crowd throughout the grave service, holding a hat, unnoticed by almost all. He was Mike Reilly, head of the White House secret ser vice during the FDR years. He aid he "Just had" to come to the service. 16 Persons Injured In Train Collision Belleville. 111. - ITS - The Louisville and Nashville line's "Hummincbird" p a s s e n ger train, running on the Illinois Central tracks because of a previous crackup on the rails. smahed into the side of a freight train Saturday.

The Republican party would have lo pay the cost of a recount, unless the second tabulation found Dumas to be the winner. The makeup of the Oregon house hinged on the outcome of the Reddon-Dumas-Brad- ford race. Redden 's victory gives the Democrats a 31 to 29 margin over the Republi cans in the house.

Caught at the same time was Wilcoxson s 19-year-oJd girl friend, Jacqueline Rose, who was wanted for aiding and abetting a bank robbery. the capture brought an end to a two-man robbery team that used antitank weaDons. sholguns and hand grenades in a series of bank robberies on the east coast. Wilcoxson's alleged partner, Frederick Nussbaum, was seized in Buf falo, N. Y., a week ago. Acting on a tip, some 30 FBI agents staked out Wilcox son's home Friday. Because Jacqueline Rose's 14-month-old son was inside, the agents decided not to move against the home itself for fear the boy might be hurt. Their patience was reward ed Saturday when Wilcoxson and Jacqueline Rose emerged from the house and headed for their car. Wilcoxson himself was In a hurry, but the FBI said he was not aware that the agents were nearby. He placed the boy in the car and was start ing to get in himself when a car full of agents pulled up.

Surveillance operations have counted all 42 Soviet missiles listed by Russia on ships out ward bound from Cuba, in formed sources said Saturday. A formal Defense depart ment announcement of this was expected soon, possibly today. The sources said the mis siles were now aboard Soviet ships and at sea. The Defense department has said that six Soviet ves sels have been "inspected" by Navy warships and that four of them apepared to be carry ing missiles. In addition, newsmen flew over another Soviet ship Sat urday afternoon the freight er 1 v a n Folzunov and counted five cigar-shaped rockets on board. The destroyer Vesole inter cepted the Ivan Polzunov at 2 p.m EST and visually in spected the missiles in the second such known encounter of the day. Another one took place early in the morning. Vasily V: Kuznctsov, the special Soviet negotiator on Cuba now in New York, has informed the United States that all of the Russian mis siles which he put at 42 would be on their way out of the Caribbean by Monday. The ship Inspected at dawn Saturday was the Soviet freighter Anosov. An "along side inspection" of its cargo was maae oy tne destroyer Barry, which intercepted the vessel Friday night and tailed it throughout the dark hours until daylight. There was one complication with the Anosov. It bluntly refused the Barry's request that is uncover all of the mis siles lashed lo the deck. To do it said, would be against the instructions of the Soviet government. But the Pentagon later in dicated that the freighter had complied sufficiently to sat isfy the terms of the limited inspection. It said the surveil lance had been completed without incident." Final removal of all of the . missiles would end the major part of the military threat posed by their placement in Cuba. It appeared the next steps, in the Cuban crisis might turn into a political chess game that may take weeks to resolve. There were somo indica tions the next move will come Monday, the deadline prom ised by Kuznctsov for com pletion of the missile with drawal. In New York, Carlos Lechuga, Cuba's ambassador to the United Nations, told a reporter that despite a week ofl ntensive diplomatic activ ity there, "nothing of impor tance probably will happen before next Monday." He did not elaborate. Talks between Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan and Prime Minister Fidel Castro on Russo-Cuban relations in the wake of the missile withdrawal have been temporarily recessed.
