Holy Land Visit Plans Aid Pope's Popularity ; VATICAN CITY (UPD-Pope ' Paul's historic plan to visit the Holy Land next month ap ' peared today to hava turned him into a popular Iloman ' hero. Tlie pontiff was mobbed and cheered Sunday when he rode in an open car on a nippy day to the heart of Rome to pray be fore a statue" of the Madonna of the Immaculate Conception on her feast day. : It was the most enthusiastic '. popular reception of the sedate ', and often self-conscious Pope's I young pontificate. It was also ; the biggest turnout for tlie feast of tlie Immaculate Conception J that Unmans could remember. ; The Pope first prayed at the foot of a six-story high column topped by a tall slender statue of Mary. File department men ' had scaled extension ladders to deck the statue with bouquets of flowers, as they do every year. The foot of the statue was swamped by more flowers and gifts Romans brought to the Madonna. The singing and pray '. ing lasted all day and thousands of people passed by. I After praying, tlie Pope re J ceived olive branches stripped ; from trees from the Garden of ; Othsomane where Christ was Winds Hit Midwest By I'nrlod Press International Strong winds bit into tlie Mid west today.

RR Merger Get$ Okay WASHINGTON (UPIl - The Supreme Court removed today the last obstacle to the merger of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail way with the Baltimore & Ohio. In a brief order the high court affirmed a ruling in favor of (Ik? railroads handed down on Aug. 13, I9B3, by a special three -judge federal court in Detroit. The lower court upheld a 1!2 decision of tlie Interstate Commerce Com mission (ICO approving the merger. The case was taken to court by four railroad unions and a parent group tlie Railway Labor Executives' Association. Meantime a court order has bepn in effect protecting the job rights of all employes involved. The association and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Railway Employes told the Su preme Court (lie ICC did not give proper consideration to workers rights. In a separate appeal, the RrotherlKiod of Railways Clerks the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen and the International Association of Machinists said the commission acted beyond the scope oi the authority dele gated to it by Congress. The unions asserted the ICC should have considered the merger application along with those of the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Norfolk & West ern, Nickel (Plate and Wabash Railroads. The Justice Department at first asserted Hurt, tlie commis sion had not made findings to support its decision. But later tlie department announced it would not furllior challenge the ICC order in view of a special government study showing that the public interest would bene fit from the consolidation.

Johnson to tlie White House has severely weak ened Sen. Barry Goldwalcr's presidential chances. And, they say, it is time for (he GOP (o start looking for a "liberal" candidate to ollset the "southern" background of Johnson, the Democrats' ex pected nominee in 1964. Among those declaring Sun day that (he political picture had changed abruptly with President Kennedy's death were Sens. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., George D. Aiken, R-Vt., and John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky. While these senators did not raise the point, there was con siderable speculation (hat Goid watcr might withdraw his name from any consideration for the Republican nomination. The Ari zona Republican has said he will announce his intentions next month. The senators' statements j came amid reports that former President Dwight D. Eisenhow- Small Atom Shell Told WASHINGTON (LTD The Defense Department today an nounced development for battle field use of a nuclear shell only six inches in diameter. Developed by (he Army and the Atomic Energy Commission, the new projectile will be fired from 155 mm. howitzers and is believed to be the world's smallest nuclear weapon. The range of the 155 howitzer is eight to ten miles and the Pentagon said it would be the same for nuclear rounds as for convential high explosives. The smallest previously known nuclear weapons were the projectiles fired by eight inch howitzers and Davy Croc ket bazooka-like weapons, both in service in Europe and clsc w here. The Defense Department said Ihat "the actual nuclear ammu nition will be available in the near future" for Army and Ma rine troops who already have received training in assembling and firing techniques.

In Saigon, where he has serv- ed as U. S. ambassador to South Viet Nam since Augusl. Lodge said he had not received any message from the former chief executive. But he added, "I would consider seriously any thing the general asked of me." There was a feeling in Wash ington that the reports ac curately reflected the ex-president's views. This feeling was strengthened by the statements of such "Eisenhower Republi cans" as Javits, Aiken and Cooper. The gist of the Javits-Aiken-Coopcr remarks was that a lot of Goldwater's strength lay in the belief he could capture the South for the GOP with his ap peal for Dixie voters enraged by the late President Kennedy's civil rights efforts. Site Eyed For School WASHINGTON H'PIi - The Tongue Point naval station site is under consideration as the possible location of a boarding school for Indian children, Rep. Walter Norblad, R-Orc., said Saturday. Norblad said the Bureau of Indian Affairs needs space to set up schools for 6.400 Indian children. It has been allocated $45 in the current federal budg et for new school construction. The bureau is now conducting a study to see if the Tongue Point site is acceptable. Norblad said the school would probably require the entire Tongue Point property, including that already set aside for a weapons systems acquisition management school and a Coast Guard helicopter base. He sug gested the Coast Guard facility could be located instead at the Clatsop Airport, where it had been planned originally. rOTBf 1 rsi 4 S)(l4ff5?i wdHousekeepinqTl iffM&im' --'' -rr ijt Tl " Tlll'MTTrriMiMMWawaMMawwBaBaMaiMii5al Now with the new low priced LP-Gas DOXOL you, too, can have modern home convenience, ( all us today for dcpendahle Ras service and save the difference.
