Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish leaders, heads of state and most greeds Joined In expressions of mourning at the passing of the 82-year-old Pontiff. President Eisenhower said “The world is poorer ... a man of profound vision, he kept pace with a rapidly changing universe, yet never lost sight of mankind’s eternal destiny. I was privileged to know him personally. With men of good will everywhere, I mourn his passing.” The bell tolled from London's Roman Catholic Westminister Cathedral. Britain’s Protestant Queen was wakened with the news. The archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the Anglican Church, (Protestant) mourned the passing of “his saintliness ... his Christian witness.” Keep Death Vigil In Manila, Philippine President Carlos P. Garcia called upon his predominantly Roman Catholic people “to join me in offering prayers for the repose of the soul of this great and saintly leader..." In East Germany, where Communists are believed to have jammed broadcast of all but the basic announcement of the Pope’s death, Roman Catholic churches tolled their bells for 15 minutes every hour that none of the faithful might be unmindful of their loss. Throughout the world Roman Catholic churches were filled for Hqtlllin Blasses begun within minutes alter word of the Pope’s death. Many were already filled with the faithful keeping a death vigil of prayer. The church’s cardinals expressed mourning and thanksgiving for the Pope’s life and the victory of Christian death. The S.S. Olympia, returning from Rome with 607 Roman Catholic pilgrims, prepared to put in at the Azores so that Francis Cardinal Spellman, archbishop of New York, could debark and return to the Holy City. The pilgrims were wakened to be told of the Pope’s death and to join in celebration of mass. Cardinal Spellman mourned the passing of “the greatest friend I ever had” and “the departure from among us of the most impartial, most devoted peacemaker in our weary, warring world.” All-Faiths Mourn The United States’ two other cardinals prepared to leave for Rome after celebrating memorial services in their own dioceses. James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre, in Los Angeles, found consolation in the “thanksgiving due to Almighty God for this prodigious career that has brought to our era such supreme consolation and blessing . . .

U.S. Tanks Clatter Up Beirut Streets Tacit Warning For No Interference BEIRUT (UPI) — U.S.- tanks clattered through the streets of Beirut Wednesday night, offering tacit warning to pro - government bandits that here must be no further interference with American troops. “This will let (pro - government leader) Saeb Salem’s people know that we have the capacity for effective action if we are forced to it,” a U.S. Army spokesman said. Stick-up men identified as followers of Salem halted an American military police jeep on an important supply road outside Beirut late Wednesday and stole the revolvers carried by the three-man crew. None of the MP’s was injured, and the guns were recovered by the Lebanese army. A few hours later, five tanks in column rolled through the center of the city. Armed infantrymen riding atop the tanks covered windows and rooftops with their carbines. As the column passed along the waterfront, « the tanks’ big guns ; fired four shots out to sea. Along most of the route, the strees were deserted. A silent crowd gathered outside the St. George Hotel to watch the tanks turn around and start back to base. The demons ration of armored might started a buzz of rumors in the city, including a hastily-denied report that Premier Rashid Karami’s cabinet had been replaced ' by a military regime. Karami himself denied the report. Earlier, however, his cabinet had told Presidept Fuad Chehab that it is ready to resign at any time if he wishes to seek new means of ending the disorders which have plagued Lebanon for nearly six months.

t : Probes Income Tax Bill Sent : To Gov. Faubus 1 Internal Revenue Supervisor Probes ! Tax Bill Mistake » LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPD—- ► A five-state regional supervisor of the Internal Revenue Service bel gins today a personal investigation t of an income tax bill sent to Gov. i Orval E. Faubus “by mistake.” The regional superintendent, B. ■ Frank White of Dallas, Tex., said he was making "a trip to Little Rock to see for myself what is goi ing on,” said White. I Faubus got what is known as a “10-day letter” from the IRS, saying he had 10 days in which to ; protest the tax request. But most , of the items the IRS said the gov- . ernor owed back taxes on were rent on his executive mansion, > servants and a gift automobile. District IRS Director Curtis R. Mathis immediately said “somebody goofed,” explaining that nothing which a state lawfully furnishes its governor is subject to such taxes. Meanwhile, W. C. Brashears, the newly - appointed superintendent of schools of the Little Rock Private Schools Corp., took a sixman committee on a tour of churches, lodge halls and rumpus rooms Wednesday night. The group talked over where to put in makeshift partitions and sized up places which might be used as emergency classrooms. “Time is getting short,” said Brashears, who came out of retirement to take the superintendent’s job, “and we’ve got to get these buildings ready for students." Brashears retired last spring after 11 years as a grade school principal.

Chen told a cabinet meeting that the Communists hope to win at the conference what they have been unable to gain on the “battlefield”—the abandonment of the outpost islands of Quemoy and Matsu to their fate. He rejected the recent Red demand for negotiations with the Nationalists, and told the cabinet he hopes the United States will withdraw Ambassador Jacob Beam from the Warsaw talks. Thirty-six Chinese patriotic organizations — some of them supported by the government—cabled President Eisenhower today, urging him to break off the Warsaw talks. “We earnestly hope that you will terminate the Warsaw talks with the Chinese Communists, which can do no good but all harm . ..” the cable said. “In the present crisis in the Taiwan (Formosa) Strait, both the future of the Quemoy and Matsu islands and the prestige and ledership of the United States in ... the free world are at stake.” The Red call for negotiations with the Nationalists was one of the two main conditions attached to the temporary cease-fire in the Formosa Strait. Th? United Sates — ignoring Nationalist protests—has granted the Communists’ other condition by withdrawing its destroyers from convoy duty in he crisis area. Rear Adm. Liu Hoh-tu, spokesman for the Nationalist Defense Ministry, announced today that Chinese warships will continue to escort convoys to Quemoy, if only to avoid the appearance of kunckling under to the Reds.

Nine Days Os Mourning Lead To Final Rites 82-Year-Old Pontiff Dies Peacefully In Sleep Afer Stroke CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy <UPI)—Pope Pius XII died peacefully in his sleep early today. A few hours later, a plenary conference of cardinals elected Benedetto Cardinal Alois! Masella as camerlengo or papal chamberlain. In that role, he becomes acting , temporal leader of the Roman Catholic Church until a new pope is chosen. He wields some of the powers of the Sacred College of Cardinals in its name until that time. The election of a camerlengo was one of the first major moves by sorrowing dignitaries of the church in setting in motion the age-old riual leading to the successor to Pius XII, the 82-year-old “pope of peace” wrtb reigned for 19 years, 7 months and 7 days. All Cardinals to Meet Church bells tolled and signs of mourning were donned throughout the Catholic world. Messages of condolences poured in from political and religious leaders of all denominations, for the late Pope was not only the spiritual and temporal head of Roman Catholicism but a diplomat and statesman of universal standing. In addition to electing the camerlengo, the cardinals also apappointed Msgr. Alberto di lorio as secretary of the Sacred College of Cardinals. This means that Di lorio will hold the key post of secretary of the conclave of cardinals which must meet between Oct. 24 and 27 to elect a new pope. Cardinal Aloisi Masella is the 79-year-old arenpriest of the Roman basilica of St. John in Lateran and prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacraments. It now falls to the new camerlengo to take the responsibility for all the organization of the nine days of events leading up to the funeral of Pope Pius XII, the conclave and the eventual enthronement of the new pope.

Meanwhile, most of the other of the world's 55 cardinals has- ' tened toward Rome for the solemn conclave. The body of the late Pope Pius XII, austere and kindly of face even in death, still lay in the ; room where he died at 3:52 a.m. (9:52 p.m. c.d.t.
