Beckwith was scheduled to appear before U.S. Commis sioner John R. Countiss III today in a hearing to deter mine whether there are grounds for charges he and others conspired to deprive Evcrs of his civil rights.

In an audience for the Vati can diplomatic corps, the Pope pledged that his reign would continue the battle for world peace based on "the four pil lars of truth, justice, love and liberty. He told the diplomats of some 50 nations in his second official audience that "the Holy See docs not propose . to intervene in the af fairs or interests that pertain to temporal powers." The United States has no relations with the Vatican so did not have a representative among the diplomats in the red-draped consistorial hall for the audience. Says Holy See Honored Tne Pope told the diplo mats that "the Holy See is highly honored by your pres ence here." 'Whether it is a matter of normal diplomatic relations or of extraordinary occasions such as the recent funeral rites for Pope John XXIII the presence of the represent atives of nations is a highly significant tribute to. the spir itual mission of the Holy Sec. Some observers said the re mark could be interpreted as an' indirect "thank you" to the United States since Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was the highest government representative to attend the rites. . . , The Pope spoke for about six minutes and then left the throne in the Conslstortal Hall to meet personally with each of the dtplotru-ji and their families.

Speaking slowly and clear ly in fluent French, Pope Paul said that "after the instruc tions of our predecessors and we think particularly of th encyclical Pacema in Tcr ris It seems scarcely neces sary for us to repeat to you all the respect., which the church holds for the dignity and the mission of each of the nations of the world." :i.- LEADERS MEET - President Kennedy and the start of a 12-day tour of European ha West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer lions by Kennedy.
