Workers End
Conclave Toil
VATICAN CITY AP) Prepa
rations were nearly completed to
day for the conclave that will
elect a new Pope of the Roman
Catholic Church.
Scores of carpenters and
masons put final touches to tem
porary walls and enclosures that
will shut off the electing cardinals
from the outside world beginning
Saturday.
In a corner of the famous Sis
tine Chapel, where the cardinals
will vote, a shiny, pot-bellied stove
was ready to burn their ballots.
In St. Peter's Square workmen
cleaned the famous Bernini foun
tains and prepared the area for
the throng that will gather there
while the voting is in progress.
The cardinals gathered for the
conclave held a final congregation
to make their last arrangements.
Saturday morning they will
gather in St. Peter's Basilica for a
"Mass of the Holy Spirit," a serv
ice specially intended to beseech
divine guidance during the con
clave. Fifty-two of the 54 living cardi
nals are in Rome and expected
to attend the conclave. There was
still a slight hope that last-min
ute arrangements could be made
to bring Josef Cardinal Mindszcn
ty of Hungary here for the
conclave.
The U.S. Legation in Budapest,
where the cardinal has' been a po
litical refugee since November,
1956. was unable to obtain safe
conduct for the cardinal from
Communist authorities.
Nonetheless, just in case, a throne
for Cardinal Mindszenty has been
placed in the Sisline Chapel.
There are 53 such thrones, each
topped by a canopy.
The only other member of the
College of Cardinals who will not
attend is Alojzije Cardinal Slopi
nac. Primate of Yugoslavia. He is
sick and confined by Communist
authorities to his native village of
Krasic.

ses occurred in 1952 and early
1953. while the Mexican statute of
limitations on bribery is only
three years.
Bonclli's attorneys argued also
lhat Ihe Mexican definition of bri
bery differs from the U. S. spec
ification of the offense.
They charged that a technical
flaw exists in the presentation of
the extradition case because the
file presented to Mexican author
ities docs not include a certified
copy ol the law he is charged
with violating as required hy the
U. S. -Mexican extradition treaty.
Attorneys (or both sides now
have 20 days to submit evidence
to the Mexican judge who is
handling the case.

industry is sick because of unreal
istic and out-moded regulations
and restrictions but that a cure
exists in the form of sensible leg-
j islation that will provide equal con
ditions in line wnn current and
future requirements.
Weatherford said. "Oregon'i
timber yield has not been close
enough In the allowable cut and
is. in fact, costing people of the
second district alone millions of
dollars annually because timber
lhat is legally available has not
actually been' made available. He
said 45 million feet of timber rep
resenting payrolls for 600 easrern
Oregon families had been lost in
Baker, Union and Wallowa coun
ties alone, in this manner, last
year.
Likening a tree to a lomalo,
Weatherford said, "When it is ripe
you had better harvest it pretty
darn soon or you might as well
leave it where it is. And a lost
Iree. like a lost lomalo, is lost
money."
Speaking of ihe unrealistic meth
od of survey of National Forest
lands, Wealhcrford cited an in
stance in Enterprise last week
when a mill paid $40,000 for $25..
000 worth of timber in order to
keep operating and keep its men
working, charging that insufficient
land is being opened to timber
operators, even though it is legally
available and is now going to
waste.
Weatherford said technical per
sonnel of the Forest Service is
insufficient and that an additional
one million dollars budgeted for
timber cruisers would bring a fi
nancial return to county, state and
federal treasuries far, greater than
itself. "There aren't many federal
appropriations these days that
make money for the government,"
he remarked.
The Arlington rancher and busi
nessman said current regulations
requiring counties to spend 75 per
cent of their income from Nation
al Forest lands on roads and 25
per cent on schools should he
changed to allow counties to de
cide for themselves how the mon
ey is to be spent.
"Many counties today have ade
quate road systems, but very few
of us would say our schools
couldn't use more money than they
are getting. I believe the counties
themselves arc best able to de
termine where the money should
be spent, rather lhan submit to an
arbitrary federal apportionment
that should have been changed
long ago." he stated.
He said he woidd seek a com
mission lo study the timber situ
ation with respect to unlair open
end contracts, distribution of funds,
method of survey, lack of ade
quate technical personnel, and gen
eral procedures under which the
Forest Service and the timber in
dustry are forced to operate.
