Total Victory Demand May

' LONDON, ' June 2 ffl Pope
Plus II, in a speech to' the Col
lege of Cardinals, expressed the
hope today that peace 'soon
would appear on Rome's hills
and over the whole world but
added that a demand for total
victory might prolong the war.
In an Italian language broad
cast the pontiff called on the
victors to give hope and faith
to tho vanquished, and declared
that "whoever would dare lift a
hand against Rome would be
guilty of matricide."- '
Tho pontiff . said that many
persons fear the theory of "full
victory or complete 'destruction"
and that this "operates with a
bad influence as a stimulus pro
longing the war and; also, on
those, who following their In
ternal impulse or for reallstlo
considerations, would be inclin
ed to a reasonable peace." ' , :

Ship Repairmen
Faint at Brooklyn
NEW YORK, June 2 (IP)
A gang of 28 men repairing a
United Nations freighter at a
Brooklyn pier, were overcome
today in the unventiiated . hold
as 108 persons crammed hos
pitals after being stricken' by
chlorine gas fumes whlcn af
fected an estimated 1000 per
sons yesterday. The accidents
were not related. i
Three men fainted and the
rest of the repair crew became
ill and dizzy as the oxygen sup
ply in- the ship's hold was de
pleted. "Those who' feel this," the
pope continued, "advance as in
a hypnotic sleep amid unspeak
able sacrifices and compel all
others to an extenuating and
bloody struggle, the social,
economic and spiritual conse
quences of which threaten to
become tho scourge of future
times.".
Ho said that Rome was re
ceiving "more considerate treat
ment from air raiders.
"We -cherish the hope," the
pope continued, "that this more
just and moderate tendency will
prevail .. . .'and that the city
will in all cases ' and at what
ever cost be preserved from be
coming a theater of war."
Ho warned, however, that
"we do not hesitate to repeat
once more with equal impartial
ity r and dutiful firmness that
whoever' would dare: lift a hand
against Rome would be guilty
of matricide before the present
world and in fnpnt of the eter
