But there were private in dications the pope might be more seriously ill than pub licly stated. The announcement by Msgr. Periclc Felici drew ap plause from more than 2,200 council delegates. It wis the first time the 81-year-old pon tiff's illness has been men tioned officially before the historic Roman Catholic church gathering called by the pope. Vatican sources said Pope John, suffering from what was reported to be a gastric ulcer and anemia, "is better and has spent a good night." "Msgr. Felici said the holy father's condition has improv ed so much he will be able to give his regular Sunday blessing," a council delegate said at the end of Saturday's Vatican meeting. Particularly Moved The Vatican press office said the pope was watching the ecumenical session on tel evision at the time and was particularly moved when the council fathers applauded the announcement concerning his health. The pontiff has been watch ing the Ecumenical council debate over closed circuit television. His illness kept him from watching during Hie two previous sessions on Wednesday and Friday. But the- announcement Saturday indicated he may have watch ed the entire session. Despite the steadily opti mistic reports, however, Vati can officials were known to be worried. Their preoccupa tion was not helped by the curtain of secrecy surround ing Pope John's illness. Oificial word from the Vat ican on the pontiff's condi tion since he fell ill Tuesday with anemia and gastric trou bles believed to be an ulcer has been steadily optimistic. Nothing but im provenient has been announc ed. But sources in constant con tact with the pontiff's physi cians said the doctors them selves are not absolutely cer tain what is ailing the pope and are carrying out lurthcr checks.

About 125 persons at the dinner heard the speaker, Congressman-Elect Robert B. Duncan, point out that Mrs. Roosevelt had endured three major trials in her lifetime: her "unfortunate childhood," her husband's sudden illness, and then his untimely death in 1945. ' Duncan was introduced by Mrs. Phyllis Christian, presi dent uf the Medford Eleanor Roosevelt League, who an nounced that proceeds from tile dinner would be donated to Mrs. Roosevelt's favorite charity.

Duncan recalled that rath er than retire from public life upon her husband's death, Mrs. Roosevelt created a new career for herself with her work in the United Na tions. "It was Mrs. Roosevelt as much as any other person," Duncan declared, "who mid- wifed the birth of the UN in San Francisco back in 1945." The Declaration of Human Rights on which the UN is based is due in large part to the work of Mrs. Roose velt, Duncan said. In reference to her many sided talents, the speaker said that most of all Mrs. Roosevelt was an humanitari an with a profound respect for the individual. "That was her secret," he said. Duncan praised her as a "nonconformist who created her ow:i life but remained a woman," and as an "ideal ist who got things done." Opening and closing pray ers at the dinner were led by Rev. George Bolster, pas tor of St. Mark's Episcopal church.

Youths Arrested After Wild Chase In Grants Pass Grants Pass Two youths wanted by California author ities were captured Saturday after they led a Grants Pass police officer on a wild chase through thick early morning fog at speeds up to 100 miles per hour. Charged with possession of a stolen auto were Charles Sidney Watchous, 18, and Norman Harris La sky, 18, both of Santa Ana Calif. The two are wanted in Santa Ana for burglary and robbery and also face an auto theft charge in Areata, Calif. Officers said the youths stole cars in Santa Ana, Ar eata and Grants Pass before they' were apprehended here. Grants Pass officer Leroy Kennedy spotted the pair at 1 a.m. Saturday. Recognizing that the auto in which they were riding had been report ed stolen, he gave chase down Sixth st. Heavy Fog The youths' car took off at a high rate of speed and led Kennedy on a chase across Caveman bridge and down New Hope rd. for about five miles through heavy fog at speeds ranging up to 100 miles per hour. The chase ended when the youths' car went out of con trol and crashed.

Kennedy and Officer Ray Birge of the Oregon State police found Lasky shortly after daybreak. He was asleep in an abandoned shack about 100 yards from where the car had been wrecked. He also was taken to the hospital. The arrests ended a spree that began when the youths left Santa Ana last Wednes day.

Central Point, Sha dy Cove-Trail and Rogue Rtv- Nehru Turns Down Red Truce Terms; Scores Land Grab Chinese Say Troops Are Withdrawing New Delhi - (UPD - Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru Saturday rejected the Chinese Communist terms for a truce in the border war and ac cused Peking of trying to grab Indian territory "under cover of preliminary cease fire arrangements." Nehru made the accusation in a letter to Chinese Com munist Premier Chou en-Lai. Nehru was replying to Chou's note of Nov. 28, warning that if Indian troops did not with draw as demanded by Peking the border fighting could flare again. Saturday's move raised the possibility of re newed warfare. Communist China has in sisted it was withdrawing its troops from the battle lines in compliance with its self proclaimed truce. But Indian troops along the northeastern frontier said Saturday there was no sign of a pullback any where along the front. A UPI dispatch from Tez pur, Assam, said military leaders there believed Pe king's announcement of a cease-fire and a withdrawal might be some sort of a hoax for political and military rea sons. It said these leaders were not surprised at lack of evidence of a withdrawal. Questions Terms Nehru's letter to Chou sharply questioned the Chi nese truce terms which called for each side to withdraw 12'2 miles behind the "line of actual control" that was in effect Nov. 7, 1959. India in sists the Chinese withdraw behind the control points of Sept. 8, 1962, when the Chi nese launched their current attacks. Nehru listed five principles on which he said both India and Red China had agreed and said "withdrawal arrange ments, however, that you pro pose behind what you refer as 'the line of actual control as of Nov. 7, 1999' are in consistent" with these princi ples. The five principles which Nehru said had been agreed in previous correspondence added up to statements by both sides that they would seek a peaceful solution and not try to gain advantages from the recent conflict.
