Pope Asks Prayer To Halt Conflict, End Persecution
Br United Press VATICAN CITY, Sept. 15 — Pope Pius XII called upon Catholics throughout the world today to offer a special prayer next month for persecuted, Catholics in Communist countries and for an end to the threat of “new and bloody conflicts” facing the world. In his secand strongly antiCommunist statement -in four days, the Pope said the increasingly grave .state of the world made it necessary that during October, the Catholic, month of the Holy Rosary, prayers be offered with ‘‘greater fervor” than ever befere. “The brotherly union between nations, broken for so long a time, has not yet been re-estab-lished,” the Pope said. “On the contrary, we see from every part souls upset by hatred, rivalries and the menace of new and bloody conflicts which still hang over the peoples.”

YELLOWWOOD LAKE, Sept. 15—1f you're looking for aay of your fishermen JE lends, these probably here today competing ¥n The Times fourth annual Fishing Rodeo. There was every indication at the 6 a. m. starting time that one of the largest crowds to line the shore for the annual Times derby would be here before the 3 p. m. closing. Men, women and children cast their lines inhtd the water in the hopes of pulling, out the biggest bass, crappies and blue gills. Those are the fish that will earn valuable prizes for the anglers.
. Before. 10 a. m. a bass of prizewinning size was pulled in by John Gazvoda, 716 N. Haugh St., Indianapolis, a machine operator at Link Belt. It was 2 pounds, 7 ounces and 17% inches long. A bass of the same weight won last year's top prize for Harry Kaiser of Morgantown. There were reports of other heavy catches, but they will not be verified until the close of the tournament since

Many Camp Overnight
|. The crowd was swelling by the
minute.-Many groups camped here overnight on the wooded shoreline to get an early start. The fishermen found every convenience to make it their biggest outing of the year. The Nashville PTA had its restaurant going in the shelterhouse by 7 a. m. to
provide early breakfast snacks.
The Red Cross mobile first aid unit is here to take care of any “lost” fish hooks or cuts or even bee stings, for which some anglers were treated last year. Game wardens of the State Conservation Department, as usual, were here by daybreak giving every- possible assistance to the anglers, The game wardens started weighing in the catches at 9 a. m., the official weigh-in hour. , Latecomers Eligible Any’ fishermen who arrive before 3 p. m. and make a catch will have ‘an opportunity to bid for the valuable prizes. : The prizes, topped by a cartop Chippewa Scout Fisherman Boat from the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Co. and a champion's trophy from L.

He warned that the state police | “will do their best to enforce the law regarding the safety of innocent: school children,” but said “the final reckoning is in the hands of each driver on . the road.” Six students were injured near Alexandria Tuesday, and six more near St. John (Lake County) two days later. During the last school year, only one fatal school bus accident was recorded, and that child hit by.an automobile after alighting from a bus. State law requires all vehicles to stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus loading or unloading children on highways. Violation may draw a fine of $100 and 10 days in jail on first offense, and $300 fine and six months in jail for the third offense in a year.

An atomic age prospector, who remembered w here lightning struck when he was a child. today claimed he has discovered the first uranium ore in Indiana Geiger ‘counter tests made yestéerday on land in Hamilton County have led Orla Fuller, 5130 Rinehart Ave. to believe that he has found uranium on his 51-acre farm near Heltonville, ‘ Lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but it did on the Fuller farm—three times, in fact — when Orla Fuller was a lad. The mystery of "why” started the experimental engineer at Allison Division, General Motors, on the search. Recently Mr. Fuller and his wife purchased a Geiger counter that reacts only to mercury and uranium. They made their first tests Sunday. : The counter went “wild” as Mr Fuller moved it over a 300 by 400 foot patch of ground. It was in the area where lightning struck three times. ‘Just to Make Sure’ Encouraged by this positive reaction, Mr. Fuller borrowed some mercury and made tests in his vard here to see which of the two might be causing the ‘violent” reaction. The reaction to the test mercury was only about oneeighth of that which Mr. Fuller obtained Sunday on his farm.
He tested on his farm again yesterday “just to make sure.” FH
