Pope Pius XII was reported “overjoyed” at the surprise action but American Protestant leaders sounded “vigorous objections” in the first thunderclaps of a gathering religious dispute that may become an issue in next year's election.

The White House said the President acted to resume diplomatic relations with the Holy See for the first time in 83 years “in the national interest” and to serve the “purposes of diplomacy and humanitarianism.”

“It is well known that the Vatican is vigorously in the struggle against communism.” it “Direct diplomatic relations will assist in co-ordinating the effort to combat the Communist menace.” This will be the first time the United States will be represented by a full-fledged ambassador to the Vatican. The nearest representation to this was accreditaition of a U. 8S. minister in 1870 and the. appointment of Myron {Taylor by President Roosevelt as

Modern Minute Wormen—

Pledge That Blood Donation Now

Second Report, Page 22 Only two more dates remain this month to give blood at the Blood Center. They are Oct. 30 and 31. But pledges for hlpod donations to be given next month and in December are urgently needed now. Clubwomen are urged to check the standing of their unit in the report today. Pledges must be in before Nov. 2 to ,count in The Times’ Modern Minute Women's blood donor drive. American public apathy has caused the blood program for our wounded in Korea to collapse. Will Indianapolis women be apathetic in this life and death matter? Real Modern Minute Women will not—they will call LlIncoln 1441 tomorrew and pledge to give.

Kimbrough was stunned when he heard the news. “It was like having the sky fall in,” he said. “After all I have been associated with these boys for a long while and I never had any inkling of college fixes. “This naturally is a serious jolt to us but we intend to carry on.

Two guilty young men drooped off the Riley at 9 ion Station last night. Ralph and Alex, looking as though they had been _horsewhipped, were home. Their haggard faces showed the strain of hours of questioning. Yes, they were guilty. They had admitted that; question was: : “What now?” Both boys knew almost certainly that their basketball careers were over. “What is there to say,” asked Groza, whose 22-point-per-game average will be sorely

“I'll never play ball now,” mourned Beard, whose 15-

point average and sparkling play the Olympians can hardly spare. “We know we were wrong, but saying sorry now

doesn’t seem to explain how we really feel,” said Beard. “We are going back to Chicago for the hearing Monday,” the boys announced. “We don't plan to fight extradition. ‘We are going to New York and face the music and we both intend to give the authorities all the co-operation we can. “Perhaps in some way we can help other boys in college now from making the same mistake we did. That mistake seems so long ago that I can't even explain now why we did it,” said Beard. “I wish we could.” : As they shuffled down the station stairs they were met by J. R. (Babe) Kimbrough, general manager of the Olympians. He strode up to shake hands with each, but no words passed between them other than:
