Prophetess “Sees
Mother Of Jesus”
NECEDAH, Wis., (/P) — Thou
sands of spectators from many
States, who yesterday heard a
'Wisconsin farm wife relay a mes
sage she said she had received
from the Virgin Mary, trekked
homeward today with mixed re
actions.
Standing before an improvised
shrine in her farmyard, Mrs. Mary
Anna van Hoof told a hushed
throng that the Blessed Virgin had
exhorted them all to “pray, pray,
pray.”
Mrs. Van Hoff, 41, claims she
has seen the Mother of Christ six!
times before in visionary appear-;
ances here.
The spectators — estimated to
number nearly 100,000—had to1
decide for themselves whether to
discount or believe the claims that
had drawn them there, for they
saw nothing unusual.
She repeatedly urged her listen
ers to “Pray, pray, pray.”
“The enemy of God is all over j
America.”
She told the crowd: “Pope Pius
XII is in danger unless we pray.
... I want to warn of Korea. It
won’t end unless we pray. Our
bishop must remember my warn
ing of Fatima. Black clouds are
coming over America. Alaska is
the first stepping stone. Remem-;
ber the Pacific Coast.”

Bridges Controls
Union From Jail
NORTH BEND, Ore. (/P) — CIO
longshore president Harry Bridges
seemed today to have control of
his union’s caucus here—from be
hind federal jail bars in San
Francisco.
I Some West Coast locals had
hinted of revolt last week, but this
seemed waning here today.
Delegates loyal to Bridges twice
overwhelmed opposition on policy
decisions yesterday invo 1 v i n g
their long time leader.
They first rallied to elect a
chairman known to be loyal. They
named James S. Fantz, Portland,1
over R. T. Baker, a former Port
land local president who would
like to see the* ILWU chief ousted
from union leadership.
Then they rammed through res
olutions to President Truman to
free Bridges and to demand a new
trial for the man convicted of ly-j
ing when he said he was never a
communist. I
