VATICAN CITY (UPI) -Paul
Vi has demonstrated at
the second session of the Ecu
menical Council that he is
wholly committed to the great
vision of church reform and
Christian reunion which ani
mated the late Pope John
XXIII.
Any doubts which may have
lingered in the minds of liberal
Catholic bishops about Pope
Paul's attitude have been re
moved during the past few
weeks.
Quietly but forcefully, he has
thrown the weight of the papal
office behind the council fathers
who are striving to renew and
modernize the Catholic Church,
and to remove roadblocks from
the long road to Christian uni
ty. His influence often has been
exerted in subtle and indirect
ways, because he is very an
xious to avoid any appearance
of dictating to the council. But
It has been made clear to all
even to the adamant conserva
tives on the council's key theo
logical commission that the
Pope meant exactly what he
said in his opening address to
the council on Sept. 29.
At that time, the Pontiff sum
moned the church to "move
forward boldly" along the path
marked out by his predecessor,
John XXIII.
Means Business
Even before the council con
vened, Pope Paul was trying to
make clear to his old col
leagues in the Roman Curia
the citadel of stand-pat conser
vativesthat he meant busi
ness about reform. In a re
markable address to the Curia
on Sept. 21, he said bluntly that
it deserved criticism and
needed reform. He added he
would not tolerate any efforts
on the part of Curia members
who are supposed to function as
the Pope's secretaries to side
track the work of the council.
But old habits die hard. Al
though consistently outvoted on
the council floor by huge ma
jorities, the preservers of the
status quo, led by Alfredo Car
dinal Ottaviani, still wield enor
mous power in the backstage
machinery of the council. They
are particularly well entrenched
in the theological commission,
which must pass on all docu
ments affecting doctrine. Otta-
Virus Disease Is
Reported in Rabbits
SALEM (UPI) -The State
Department of Agriculture Tues
day reported an outbreak of a
virus-caused disease among rab
bits in the Rogue River area in
Southern Oregon. '
Dr. R. A. Bennett, disease in
vestigator, said some rabbit
breeders in the area estimated
"a loss of adult rabbits in ex
cess of 500."
The department identified the
disease as myxomatosis. It said
the disease had characteristics
similar to some forms of can
cer and was spreading by biting
insects.
It apparently affects only rab
bits, the department said. There
is no known cure or immuniza
tion for the disease.

In Jackson County some
$235,826 was paid on 915 loans
and in Josephine County $81,

Mrs. T. F. George should
be grateful to be going to col

complaining that he couldn't go
to a university away from home.
He attends a Grade-A school
only 40 minutes away. This
eases for us the disappointment
of being unable to afford dormi
tory fees and high tuition rates.
He says his mid-semester marks
are low because we're noisy.
George F. Somehow I was
able to get A's and B's in high
school, despite my mother in
terrupting my homework with
snacks, my father turning on TV
full , blast, and my sister's
screeching girl friends. But col
lege is hard. If I have to live
home, home has to change or
I'll never pass the finals. y
The Council: At best, it's a
tough few years for both parents
and college-age kids, no matter
who lives where. A psychitrist's
own daughter, we're told, shook
hands with him at the start of
the first semester and said, "No
matter what happens, let's wind
up friends." ... To puncture
George's vision ot ideal study
conditions in dormitories, we
remind him that there are usu
ally goof-off types who breeze
in and out of a fellow's quarters,
hi-fi addicts, hog-callers who
yell to each other. His recourse
there or at home would be to ap
peal for considerateness, or flee
to the library. . .Certainly there
are many advantages to living
at home during college finan
cially, emotionally, socially. The
rub here is that Mrs. F. may not

tual pressures George is under
going. Let s nope me lanuiy lu
give him: (1) A quiet, private
spot to study in; (2) some ice
way on mealtime and his share
of chores; (3) Few family de
mands for participation; (4) Re

With these modifications, there's

Royal Jelly Is The Sole
Nourishment of Queen Bee
Ponce de Leon hunted vainly
for that mythical fountain of
youth, but he wasted his time.
Alchemists over a period of
thousands of years, have
searched frantically for that
which would prolong human
life beyond its allotted time.
Scientists, even today, are hop
ing for a drug, a hormone or
a miracle that will do what was
expected of the Fountain of
Youth had it been located.
Ironic it is, indeed, that there
are insects occupying this earth
with us which have seemingly
solved part of the mystery of
extending the life-span of an
individual or species. The bees
have appeared to be rather
close to developing an elixir
that accomplishes a miracle
. . . when applied to bees.
The insect material is called
royal jelly. It seems to have
clambered a considerable way
up the biological wall; so far it
has come close to confounding
chemical analysis.
Royal jelly is a remarkable
substance supposedly secreted
by glands in the heads of worker
bees. Under proper conditions
of the bee colony it will produce
and nourish a queen bee. Be
cause this substance is. the sole
food of the queen, it derives its
name royal jelly. The name is
well taken, for she really is a
queen; royalty in a golden cas
tle, waited on by a host of de
voted subjects. She is the mo
ther of the hive in every sense
of the word.
Controlled Number
Entirely due to her efforts,
the number of bees in the col
ony is strictly controlled. The
number of wax makers, pollen
gatherers and hive roustabouts
are all kept up to the prescribed
level in each category. Yet she
has nothing to do with the ad
ministration policy of the col
ony; nothing to say about the
divisions ot bee classes which
are to be developed from the
eggs she lays.
Her sole duty is to produce
eggs. Each egg, as soon as it
is laid, is carried away by a
worker bee and placed in a
cell where It can be watched
by other workers, who will de
cide whether the resultant baby

bee will be a worker, a drone,
or maybe even a future queen.
Actually, the queen is merely
an egg laying machine, turning
out bee eggs on a production
line basis, and at a fantastic
rate. She can produce as many
as 3,000 eggs in a 24-hour pe
riod; that's about 125 an hour,
or two every minute. She can
keep up the pace for as many
as five years, thereby produc
ing in her life time nearly six
million eggs. And she accom
plishes all this on a diet of
royal jelly.
Married Once
Strangely enough, the queen
is married only once, and her
husband dies before the honey
moon is hardly begun. From
the time she was a tiny larva
until she dies or is dethroned.
she will eat nothing but royal
jelly, which would seem to
make this material about the
most potent elixir man has
ever imagined ... a sub
stance made from pollen, dew
from plants, and secretions
from glands smaller than the
human eye can see.
All the eggs laid by the queen
bee look exactly alike, but by
some wild knowledge, certain
fertile eggs are designated, by
some unknown instinct, to be
come queen bees. When the lar
vae hatch from these selected
eggs, they are fed royal jelly,
which produces a tremendous
stimulation, bringing about ex
traordinary growth; and a
queen bee is the result.
After a few days she is ready
to take to the outside air on
her wedding flight a two-way
trip out and back to the hive.
After the flight, during which
she meets her husband, she re
turns and settles down to a life
time of egg laying and. a menu
of royal jelly ... the same
mysterious substance that cre
ated her at the beginning of
her royal queenship.

session, and its basic principles

votes cn Oct. 30. But the word
filtered back to liberal . bishops
that Ottaviani's commission
was simply "sitting on" the
document, rather than prepar
ing a final draft for formal
adoption.

day on a sneetless bed in a

An autopsy was scheduled to

death, but Homicide Detective
E. E. Bergquist said there was
no indication of suicide or foul

Improper Influence
Mack, a member of the Flor
ida Railroad and Public Utili
ties Commission before being
named to the FCC by President
Eisenhower, and Miami attor
ney Thurman Whiteside were
indicted on charges of using im
proper influence in the award of
Channel 10 in Miami to Public
Service Television, Inc., a Na
tional Airlines subsidiary.
They were tried together, and
a mistrial declared when the
jury deadlocked. In a second
trial at which Mack was too ill
to be defendant, Whiteside was
acquitted but later killed him
self. The charges against Mack
were dropped.
Mack resigned from the FCC
after his indictment. He suf
fered a nervous breakdown,
once underwent alcoholic reha
bilitation in a sanitarium, and
was divorced by his wife.

PHONI tOt AMOUNTS NOT SHOWN
Committed To
bishops sharing power with the
Pope was still unsettled.
This outraged the liberal
bloc. The lid blew off the sim
mering dispute on Nov. 8, when
Joseph Cardinal Frings of Co
logne, Germany, ripped into ut
taviani at a tense and drama
tic council session. Frings said
it was "indeed amazing" for
the theological commission to
suggest that the issue was un
settled. He bluntly reminded
the commission that it is sup
posed to "function only as a
tool of the council and to ex
ecute the will of the council
fathers." .
Within hours after Fring's
speech had electrified the
council, the Vatican grapevine
was passing the word that Pope
Paul had called Frings into his
office and had expressed whole
hearted agreement.
A few nights later, when the
theological commission was
holding a meeting with Ottavi
ani in the chair, a papal at
tendant arrived, bearing a mes
sage. Its contents have never
been made public, but persons
present said that it was a hand
written letter from the Pope,
and that it expressed quite for
cibly his desire that the com
mission proceed expeditiously
with its proper work of carry
ing out the expressed will ot
the council fathers.
Expands Commissions
The Pope later expanded
membership of the commis
sions to make them more lib
eral in make-up, more respon
sive to the council majority,
and more responsive to its will.
That same night, Uttaviam
appointed several subcommis-
sions to begin working on the
details of the church govern
ment document. There is no

voting before the present ses
sion ends Dec. 4, but council
fathers anticipate it will be the
first order of business when
they reconvene next fall.
This episode is typical of the
undramatic and often secret
backstage role which Pope Paul
has played in the council. His
hand rarely shows in public,
but the fathers are learning
that his views are accurately
represented by the four moder
ators whom he named to pre
side over the council and par
ticularly by one of them, Leo
Joseph Cardinal Suenens of Bel
gium. Leads Liberal Bloc
Cardinal Suenens has
emerged as the Pope's closest
friend and confidante. He is
also leader of the council's lib
eral bloc. It was Suenens
whom the Pope chose to deliver
an address at the midpoint of
the session, ostensibly to honor
the anniversary of Pope John
XXIH's election, but actually to
reawaken in the minds of the
council fathers the shining
image of Pope John's ideals.
Pope Paul listened from the
papal throne in St. Peter's as
Suenens spoke, and warmly em
braced him at the end of the
speech. There could be no more
eloquent way of telling the
council fathers where Pope
Paul stands on reform and re
union. The brilliant, scholarly pon
tiff with deep-set eyes may
never have the popular touch
which endeared his predecessor
to all mankind, but as one
noted American, theologian
commented, "It would be hard
to conceive of a Pope better
qualified, by experience and at
titude, to carry through the
work which Pope John began."
