Pope John XXIII
Buried in Grotto of
St. Peter’s Basilica
VATICAN CITY tm — Pope
John XXIII was buried Thursday
night in a grotto of St. Peter’s
Basilica at a spot he himself se
lected two years ago.
Cardinals of the Roman Catholic
Church paid their final respects
and veiled his face and body for
sealing within a triple casket of
walhut, lead and Cyprus, lined
with scarlet silk. Then he was
put to rest in the presence of
scarcely two dozen persons.
Before the burial, his body was
borne into St. Peter’s Square for
viewing by the crowds he loved.
The Vatican press office esti
mated two million made the pil
grimage in long lines through St.
Peter’s Square, down the aisles of
the Basilica between the empty
seats of Pope John’s Ecumenical
Council.
Then for those yvho could not
enter the Basilica before his burial,
the body was carried out into St.
Peter’s Square a final time.
Meanwhile, the church’s cardi
nals were arriving for the final
rites and the June 19 conclave
that will elect a successor.
The College of Cardinals de
creed Wednesday that a nine-day
formal mourning period for Pope
John will start today and end
June 17. It will be broken for
Sunday, June 9, and for the Cor
pus Christi Feast Day June 13.
The cardinals will attend a mass
of the Holy Ghost June 19, then
go into conclave at sunset in the
Sistine Chapel. Voting will begin
June 20. The cardinals will cast
four ballots daily in the locked
chapel until two-thirds agree on
a new Pope.
About 80 of the 82 cardinals are
expected to be on hand for the
conclave, the greatest number ever
assembled to elect a Pope.
One absentee probably will be
Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, still
in refuge in the U.S. legation in
Budapest. One or two other car
dinals may be too ill to travel.
A spokesman for the Russian
Orthodox Church announced in
Moscow that a representative will
attend the services, but the name
was not announced.
Night Club Dancer
Found Dead in Apartment
SEATTLE — A night * club
dancer, who billed herself as
Fantasia and once battled censors
of the World’s Fair’s Show Street
was found dead in her apartment
Wednesday night.
She was rushed to a hospital
where attendants said she had died
either of poison or from an over
dose of a narcotic or drug.
Police were holding a man, who
ran nude from the apartment when
the body was discovered, for ques
tioning.
The 32-year-old dancer had used
the name Pamela Evans here, al
though friends said it was not her
right name.
In May last year, Fantasia had
led a group of strip teasers in a
protest demonstration in front of
the Galaxy, a show street attrac
tion that had been closed by cen
sors.
Police said the dancer’s body
was found by a cab driver who
had gone to the apartment to col
lect some back charges.

Sen. Ernest Gruening
Accuses CAB of
Moving at a 'Snail’s Pace’
WASHINGTON (1P\—Sen. Ernest
Gruening accused the Civil Aero
nautics Board Thursday of moving
at a snail’s pace while the aircraft
it regulates are moving ever faster.
Along with President Kennedy’s
call for the development of super
sonic aircraft Gruening said it
would be a good idea to speed up
the functioning of the CAB.
“Why must we exhibit the pa
thetic contrast of having in our
service planes flying at super
sonic speeds when the agency
which wields such tremendous
power and degree of control over
the activities of commercial avia
tion moves at only a snail’s pace?”
Gruening asked.
The senator, in a statement, cited
as an example of “lethargic per
formance” a non - controversial
Alaska airline route transfer case
pending for 13 months before the
board.
It involves the proposed trans
fer by Pan American World Air
ways of its Juneau-Fairbanks
route to Wien Airlines.
Gruening said the evidence was
submitted to the board more than
a year ago and that the move was
approved by “every segment of the
public concerned with it.” An ex
aminer recommended the route
transfer more than four months
ago, he added.
Gruening said great numbers of
visitors are coming to Alaska and
“yet this important segment in our
transportation picture is impaired
because of the utterly inexcusable,
though not uncharacteristic, delay
in the Civil Aeronautics Board.”
Chemical Poisons Tend
To Increase Through
Food Chains in Nature
WASHINGTON W — Rachel L.
Carson said yesterday low concen
trations of chemical poisons tend
to be increased as they progress
through the food chains in nature.
Miss Carson, author of the book
“Silent Spring,” told the Senate
Commerce Committee there is no
predictable safe level of applica
tion once poison has entered the
food chains.
Discussing treatment at Big Bear
Lake, Calif., where she said chemi
cal toxaphene was applied for
rough fish control with a dosage of
0.02 parts per million, Miss Car
son said plankton collected four
months later contained 73 parts
per milliop of toxaphene. -
Plankton is minute marine
life—the food for larger organisms
which in turn are food for still
larger ones in a chain process.
“The peak concentration seems
to have been reached in a fish
eating bird, a pelican, which was
found after its death to contain
1,700 parts per million of toxa
phene,” she said. “In other words,
the poison had been multiplied by
a factor of 8,500.”
Miss Carson testified in support
of a bill by Sen. Maurine Neu
berger, (D-Ore.), designed to pre
vent or minimize injury to fish
and wild life from uses of insecti- !
rides, herbicides, fungicidies and
pesticides.

Small Amount of
Wreckage Found
From DC-7 Crash
KETCHIKAN Ufi — The chief
investigator in the painstaking
probe of a DC-7 crash in which
101 died said yesterday a “dis
couragingly small amount” of
wreckage has been recovered.
George Baker of Washington,
D.C., said debris brought in from
the North Pacific about 175 miles
southwest of here holds few clues
to the loss of the military-charter
ed airliner Monday.
‘‘Nothing I saw gave any indica
tion of an explosion,” he said,
“but that doesn’t mean such a
possibility has been ruled out.
“After close visual examination
here the pieces are being packaged
and sent to Washington for tech
nical analysis.”
Baker, supervising air safety
investigator for the Civil Aeronau
tics Board, heads a team working
at nearby Annette Island trying to
track down the cause of the crash.
The Northwest Orient Airlines
four-engined plane was northbound
toward Anchorage with servicemen,
wives, children and government
employes when it plunged into the
sea 60 miles off the northern tip
of British Columbia’s Queen Char
lotte Islands. There had been no
hint of trouble.
The probe at Anette will con
tinue through the end of the week
with the CAB being assisted by the
Federal Aviation Agency, Air
Force, Northwest Airlines and the
Airline Pilots’ Assn.
Baker said the Coast Guard cut
ter Klamath will bring in more
wreckage from the crash scene,
but he does not expect it to be dif
ferent than debris already re
covered.
Heavy pieces of the plane are
believed to be at the bottom in
3,000 feet of water. Insulation,
seats, some small pieces of shat
tered metal, luggage, personal be
longings and some human remains
were all that was still on the sur
face.
R}fle Shots Echo
Salute to Crash Victims
KETCHIKAN GP — Three vol
leys of rifle shots echoed across
the restless waters of the North
Pacific Tuesday, a salute to the
101 persons who died in the crash
of a Northwest Airlines plane
Monday.
The crackle of rifle fire came
from the deck of the Coast Guard
cutter Sorrel as the vessel’s nose
was turned toward Annette Is
land, completing her mission which
turned up debris and parts of
bodies of those who went to their
doom in the mystery crash off the
British Columbia coast.
The salute to the military and
other dead came as as the Sorrel’s
flag was dipped at half staff.

British Conservative
Party Reaches New Low
LONDON UR — The British Con
servative party’s chances for re
election reached a new low yester
day as a result of a personal scan
dal involving a cabinet minister.
John Profume, Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan’s 48-year-old
War Minister, quit his cabinet post
and his seat in Parliament Wednes
day night after confessing he had
(lied in denying an “improper as
I sociation” with a notorious model,
Christine Keeler.
Profume’s disgrace was a politi
cal bombshell for MacMillan and
his Conservative party, who had
believed the minister’s denial in
the House of Commons March 22
of persistent rumors that he had
illicit relations with the 22-year
j old model, a red headed beauty
! who numbered two Jamaican Ne
groes among her lovers.
The opposition Labor party is
expected to call for an official
probe into the Profume affair and
introduce a motion to censure the
government in the House of Com- j
mons.
The 100-vote Conservative ma
jority in Commons is certain to
defeat a censure motion and keep
MacMillan in office.
The scandal ended the political !
career of one of the most promis- |
ing young members of the Con
servative party.
