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

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.

Studebaker
To Shut Down Auto Plant
DETROIT MJPIi-Studcbakcr
Corp. will shut down its V. S.
automotive assembly lanes Tues
day, ending more than 61 years
as a major automotive produc
er, it was learned today.
However, there were indica
tions Studebaker would continue
car production in Canada and
market the cars in (he United
States.
The company is not dead.
Studebaker recently has lost
money on its automotive opera
lion but 12 other divisions are
operating at a profit, company
sources said. They will con
tinue. SludebaJier President Bycrs
A. Burhngame and top com
pany officials were in New
York today for a board meet
ing. The executives met in South
Bend, Ind., with United Auto
Workers union officials over 11k?
weekend to discuss the fate of
about 5,000 workers who will
lose their jobs as a result of
the move.
Hurlingamc was expected to
announce the demise of Studc
baker's auto operations Tues
day. The company has a rich'
transportation history that
traces its roots all the way to
covered wagon days.
Burlingame was unavailable
for comment in New York as
were other lop executives in
South Bend. However, reliable
sources here said the announce
ment would be made Jn New
York Tuesday.
Reduces Auto Firms
The demise of Studebaker will
reduce to Jour the number of
major auto firms General Mo
tors, Ford, Chrysler and Ameri
can (Motors.
The automotive division of the
compiiny has lieen a money
loser since 1059. That was its
best year when it got the jump
on the rest of the industry with
a compact car and tlie corpora
lion earned $28 5 million.
However. Burlingame. in his
first statement of policy since
taking over the company, said
early this mouth the other 12
divisions of the highly diversi
fied corporation arc operating
at a profit this year.

Annoiuiced Economy Measures
In his first statement of pol
icy, Burlingame announced
stringent economy measures to
lower the break-even point of
the division, included was the
layoff of more than 2,000 em
ployes; curtailment of bidding
on defense contracts; beefing
up the field sales force and cost
reductions in all phases of
Studebaker home oflicc opera

Studebaker merged with the

Hudson and Nash also

North GOP Leaders
Urge liberal' Hunt
WASHINGTON 'UPI' - Some
northern Republican leaders be
lieve that the accession of Tex
an Lyndon B. 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.

er had urged Ambassador Hen
ry Cabot Lodge to make him
self available for the Republi
can presidential nomination.
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.
