The Senate issued an ulti

Three Days of
Final Agony End
For Church Leader
Death Comes in
Fifth Year of Reign
Vatican City - (UPD - Pope
John XX111, one of the great
est Popes in the history of the
Roman Catholic Church, died
today in the fifth year of his
reign.
The 81-year-old Pope went
to his death slowly, in prayer
and suffering, his stout peas
ant's heart carrying him
through more than three days
of final agony that was re
lieved only by lapses into
comas.
Vatican Radio said the
pontiff died at 11:45 a.m.
(pdt).
The spiritual leader of the
world's half biljion Roman
Catholics died without seeing
the end of his great project,
the Ecumenical Council,
which was suspended with his
death.
For nearly four days the
heart of the pontiff continued
beating after doctors had
given up hope of saving him
from the stomach tumor that
was believed to be cancerous.
As his condition worsened,
peritonitis, an inflamation of
the abdominal cavity, set in,
and his temperature rose dan
gerously while his blood pres
sure fell.
Received Last Riles
Last Friday he sank so close
to death that he asked for
and received Extreme Unc
tion, the last rites of the
church. As he lingered in the
valley of the shadow of death
in the days that followed, the
Pope slipped In and out of
a coma, rallying at times to
bless those at his bedside with
weak wave of the hand.
then drifting again into deep
unconsciousness. Before the
end came he was too weak to
move.
Pope John's illness first be
came evident last November,
but he rallied and returned to
his work in the Vatican of
fices., until May 21 when the
tumors lethal effects began
forcing him into the. final sur
render. - " . ''''
The public saw him for the
last time on May 23 when he
blessed a cheering crowd of
15,000 from the window over
St. Peter's Square.
The death of the Pope was
announced by Giorgio Luigi
Dernucci, an editor of the
Vatican City newspaper Os-
servatore Romano.
As the Pope died, 80,000
mourners were gathered be
low his window In St. Peter's
Square hearing an open air
mass offered up for him. The
celebrant was Luigi Cardinal
Traglia.
An altar had been set up
on the ramp leading to St.
Peter's Basilica beneath the
balcony where on Nov. 4,
1958, Angelo Giuseppe Cardi
nal Roncali had been crowned
Pope John XXIII.
Runt into Press Room
Bernucci ran into the Vati
can press room with tears
running down his cheeks and
said:
"At 7:49 the Pope died."
The Pope had been aware
of approaching death and ac
cepted it serenely. During a
lucid period Saturday he told
an aide:
"I could observe my death
step by step. Now I am gently
moving toward the end."
Last Thursday, he told one
of his doctors: "My bags are
packed, and I am ready to
leave."
In his final hours prayers
were said for him around the
world - by Catholics, Prot
estants, and Jews. Buddhists
w ished him well. Atheist Nlki
ta Khrushchev sent him his
best wishes.

Mistake in Tax
Measure Clouds
State Legislature
Error Would Leave
$30 Million Deficit
Salem - (IPH - An error In
the recently adopted $60 mil
lion revenue measure was dis
covered today, throwing an
other cloud on the legislative
horizon.
The bill, and a companion
measure calling for a special
election in October if the tax
package is referred by the
voters, are on the governor's
desk.
The tax hike is designed to
be retroactive to January 1
of this year if it is not refer
red.
But through a mistake.
even if the measure was up
held by voters at a referral
election, the increase would
not go into effect until next
January.
This would leave the state's
budget about $30 million
short of the $404 million
needed to finance the general
fund budget.
Locked in Dispute
The House and Senate are
now locked in a bitter dispute
on other items.
In an effort to keep the nl-
come tax measure from be

battle, a special bill was to be

It would amend the meas
ures now on the governor's
desk and eliminate the mis
take.
If the correction was ap
proved both in the House and
Senate, it would not be nec
essary for the Senate to recall
the Income tax measure for a
correcting ' amendment.

afraid to have the Senate re-

Tennessee School
Plans Thrown Out
Washington - (UWI - The Su
preme Court today followed
up its warning that the South
was going too slow on inte
gration by throwing out two
school transfer plans being
used in Tennessee.
In its unanimous 8-0 rulins.
the court agreed with Negroes
who protested than the trans
fer systems hud been adopted
to prolong segregation.
Last week in a Memphis
case involving recreational fa
cilities, the court had sharply
noted that the doctrine of "all
deliberate speed" set forth
eight years ago was being
abused.
Today, the court said the
transfer progrums being used
in Knoxvllle and Davidson
county, which includes Nash
ville, were unfair to Negroes.
tn another case, the court
ruled 8-1 that a group of
Negro children In an ele
mentary school in Cahokia,
111., outside East St. Louis,
may sue in federal court on
grounds that racial discrim
ination Is being practiced
there.

Agency Shop Upheld
In High Court Decision
Washington -41P1I- The Su
preme Court ruled today that
the agency shop, now includ
ed in about 6 per cent of all
labor contracts, is permissible
under federal law but not in
states which have outlawed
the union shop.
Both decisions were by a
unanimous 8-0 vote.
The court upheld the legali
ty of the agency a nop under
the Taft-Hartley law In a case
from Indiana. It then held In
a separate Florida case that
the agency shop is barred by
an anti-union shop law there.
The court left undetermined
the question of whether Flor
ida courts, rather than the
National Labor Relations
board, have Jurisdiction to en
force the state ban against
agency shop arrangements.
This will tie decided next
term.
In general, the agency shop
does not require a worker to
Join a union but does require
him to pay union dues.
Justice Byron R. White read
the two opinions for a unani
mous court.
Justice Arthur J. Goldberg
did not participate in today's
rulings.
The Taft-Hartley labor law
permits employers and unions
to negotiate contracts which
require union membership "as
a condition of employment."
This means workers have to
Join within a specified period
of time or lose their Jobs.
Under agency shop agree
ments, they pay the union a
fee to help defray the costs of
collective bargaining but need
not Join. The sum is usually
the same as the dues.
This plan Is regarded as a
compromise between the un
ion shop and an open shop,
in which all payments and
membership are entirely voluntary.
