Claims Finding
Remains Of
h Saint Peter
SOUTHAMPTON, England, </P)
The Raman Catholic archbishop
of New Orleans said today the re
mains of St. Peter have “ definite
ly” been found in a tomb in St.
Peter’s basilica in Rome.
The Most Rev. Joseph F. Rum
mell spoke to reporters just before
he boarded the Queen Mary for
New York after a pilgrimage to
the Vatican.
Pope Pius has long entertained
the theory that St. Peter’s remains
were buried in a crypt in St. Pe
ter’s church.
In preparation for Holy Year,
1950. he is reported to have or
dered an effort to prove the the
ory.
“There are very significant cir
cumstances about the crypt in St.
Peter’s church,” Archbishop Rum
mell said.
“It is a fact that the entire crypt
is undergoing a series of studies
in the course of which there has
been definitely authenticated the
presence there of the remains of
St. Peter, the chief apostle.”
There is an old Catholic-Protes
tant controversy over the place of
St. Peter’s death.
f Late in August the Vatican radio
told Catholics to await a “great
revelation” by the Holy See con
cerning the tomb of Peter, but it
gave no hint of the nature of such
revelation, which presumably
would be made during the Holy
Year.

Captain Hitchhikes
Anchorage To
Oktoks, Canada
CHICAGO, </P) — When Capt.
Robert J. Wiese received word of
his transfer from Anchorage, Alas
ka, to Tampa, Fla., he decided to
see the country in between.
So the captain, a 27-year-old
paratrooper-doctor, started walk- |
ing down the Alcan Highway with J
his Chesapeake retriever, Brown
ie.
Wiese, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
mond Wiese of suburban Kenil
worth, left Anchorage Aug. 6. Hu
carried a 60-pound food pack, and
loaded a 20-pound pack with his
shaving kit, fish hooks, cartridges
j and dog biscuits on Brownie.
Some 70 free rides and 22 days
later, the hitchhiker arrived in
Okotoks, Alberta — 2,400 miles
along their way. They took a train
to Great Falls, Mont., then hitched
rides to Minneapolis.
The captain bought a canoe
there and paddled down the Mis
sissippi to Davenport, la., taking
; 17 days to make the 400-mile voy
age. From Davenport he and
Brownie took another train to
Chicago.
Now the travel-weary pair are
resting at the Wiese home before
proceeding to Tampa. They’ll
leave Oct. 2, but their hitchhiking
days are over. Wiese will drive an
automobile loaned him by a friend.
The captain expects to join his
I new outfit, the Fifth Air Rescue
! squadron, in Tampa Oct. 6.
: Brownie will join it too.
