“I didn't tell Gov. Schricker, what to do,” Mrs. Lewis sald after talking to the Governor yesterday. “But I wanted him to know what a dirty trick was pulled.” She told the Governor the Sims Co. should pay the fine because “they knew the truck was overweight when they sent my husband out.” But Hank Foss, a Sims official, said in Chicago his firm would not pay. He said the load of steel had been released by Indiana authorities and the trucking firm thereby was “absolved of responsibility.” Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schrader, Indianapolis, owners of the truck which was leased to the Sims (firm, said they were “the only

VATICAN TY Tone June 18 — Pope Pius XII expressed fervent hope today that the peoples of China and Korea may be freed as soon as posdible from both war and the fetters of communism. In a 10,000-word Encyclical the Pope directly expressed hope for a quick peace in the Korean War and for an end to the “inimical doctrine” of communism.” / ¥ Throughout the massive docus | ment, an exposition of Roman {Catholic missionary activities during the last 25 years, ran the theme of the Pope's detsstation of communism, And for one of the few times since the Korean War broke out, the Pope referred by name to the conflict. “Would that it were permitted us to hope that the peoples of Korea and China, who are nat. urally cultured and honorable and have been renowned from early times for their high standard of civilization, may as soon as poss sible be freed,” the Pope . “Freed not only from turb factions and wars but from the inimical doctrine which seeks o the things of earth and scorns things of Heaven."
