Solemn Task Of Electing Pope Is Veiled In Secrecy
VATICAN CITY UPI — The Starred College of Cardinal** failed on four ballot** today to eleet a suecesMir to Pope John XXIII.
VATICAN CITY UPI — The ' Sacred College of Cardinals failed to elect a successor to Pope John XXIII this morning in their secret conclave. A stream of black smoke from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel. followed by an announcement by Vatican Radio, told the world that no candidate had received the required two-thirds majority. Vatican Radio said the two morning ballots were unsuccessful. An audible sigh of disappointment rose from a throng of about 40.000 persons waiting in St. Peter's square.
VATICAN CITY UPI — The Sacred College of Cardinals, locked in medieval secrecy within the Vatican Palace, today began the solemn task of electing a new pope to lead the world's half billion Roman Catholics through a critical period of history. Eighty princes of the church— the largest group ever to participate in a papal election — were present in the magnificent Sistine Chapel to select a successor to Pope John XXIII. Among them were five from the United States Only two members of the college were missing. The first ballot was scheduled for this morning after a Mass under the Michelangelo frescoes that adorn the chapel ceiling. There will be four ballots a day-two in the morning and two in the afternoon—until a new pontiff is chosen. The cardinals will have no contact Aith the outside world until their decision is made by a two-third majority. Although in theory any Roman Catholic man of reasonable age can be elected, tradition of the last four centuries pointed to an Italian cardinal getting the nod. Informed speculation favored Giovanni Battista Cardinal Montini, 65. the archbishop of Milan who is a leader of the “liberal” faction of the sacred college. Montini was a close friend of Popa John and supported the late pontiff’s revolutionary moves for church reform and Christian unity. The balloting frequently deviates from advance predictions, however, and any one of a dozen other likely candidates could receive the honor. One of the first tasks of the new Pope will be to decide whether to carry on with the Ecumenical Council called by Pope John to promote his aims. The council was suspended automatically when John died June 3. The conclave area was sealed off Wednesday night after the cardinals entered following a mass in St. Peter's in which inspiration was asked of the Holy Ghost.

Native Forces Replace Soviets In Cuban Camps WASHINGTON UPI — U.S. officials said today that Cuban armed forces appear to have begun replacing Soviet combat troops in encampments in Cuba. The Russians have been building new low-level anti-aircraft installations in Cuba to supplement SA2 surface-to-air missiles which they began placing in Cuba last August and which are still
there.
The Soviet units also have been relocating some of the 24 SA2 installations on the island, apparently for better protection of key areas. These facts, gleaned from U.S. sources, provide new bits in the total picture of Soviet military strength in Cuba which, though “thinned out,” is still an integral part of a formidable military capability there. The relatively recent movement of Cuban military personnel into Russian encampments is part of the evidence that led the State Department Wednesday to announce a “thinning out” of Soviet combat forces. The first reports of these Cuban replacements were given

Seeking Solution To Tax Dilemma INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Governor Welsh, still hoping to avoid calling a special legislative session to solve Indiana’s growing financial dilemma, met today with lawyers and other state officials in an effort to seek a solu-
tion.
Purpose of the meeting was to map plans for an appeal of a court finding that the new 2 per cent sales tax scheduled to go into effect July 1 was unconstitutional and a companion order barring the state from collecting the tax. Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack issued the injunction against collection of the tax Wednesday just five days after he held that the act establishing the sales tax was unconstitutional because of unlawful delegation of legislative authority to the executive branch of government and because of vague wording of its provisions. Meeting with Welsh today to discuss the rulings and the possible actions in light of them were Revenue Commissioner James Courtney, Commissioner John Hatchett of the State Department of Administration and George Zazas, appointed special counsel for Welsh after Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers begged out of the case on the grounds Niblack’s ruling was cor-
rect.
Zazas said Wednesday he understood that Welsh planned to appeal both the injunction and j j the ruling of unconstitutionality to the Indiana Supreme Court simultaneously, a process which could take months.
WASHINGTON UPI — President Kennedy’s tough new civil rights program touched off in Congress today what promised to be one of the bitterest legislative battles in decades. Not even the staunchest backers of the President’s manypronged approach to the boiling race crisis believed Congress would buy it anywhere near intact. At first glance, some of the proposals he sent the House and Senate Wednesday appeared likely to be passed after only perfunctory polishing. Others, including some of the key items, looked as if they would be chewed to pieces. As Congress dug in for the legislative battle, the White House announced that the President had invited 30 Negro and white “civil rights leaders" to meet with him Saturday. Included were the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Roy Wilkins, head of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People NAACP. The Saturday session was seen as an effort by Kennedy to urge moderation on integrationbt leaders while Congress considers his legislation. In his message Wednesday the President urged the Negro community to halt demonstrations that lead to viol-
Kennedy conferred at the White House Wednesday with 250 leading educators. He asked them to set up a committee that would work at the grass roots level to provide better schooling without racial barriers. Participants said there seemed to be general agreement to his request. In Congress that initial reaction to the President’s proposals was predictably strong. Southerners and some conservatives accused the President of giving in to mob rule and pledge to fight his program with every means at their disposal. Southerners were so angry' they threatened not only a filibuster but use of their long-held committee chairmanships to bottle up the rest of Kennedy’s legislative program.

Accelerator Sticks; Two Autos Damaged Two vehicles were involved in a property damage accident. Wednesday noon at 12:25 on Washington Street just west of College Avenue. Arthur Neese, age 30, of Reelsville, had parked his 1961 Dodge in front of Edgar Prevo’s Continental. As Neese tried to leave the parking space, his accelerator stuck while he was backing up. His left rear corner smashed into the right front of the Continental. The total damage was estimated at $250 to each car.
St. Louis Negroes To Stage Protest ST. LOUIS UPI—Negro leaders said “there can be no turning back" from a mass rush-hour demonstration today protesting alleged segregation in the city’s schools, despite President Kennedy’s plea for a moratorium on such action. Up to 5,000 persons were expected to assemble this afternoon in front of the school board building downtown. Business firms in the area boarded up plate glass windows to prevent possible damage. Dr. Jerome Williams, Negro leader of the demonstration, said the President’s call for an armistice would not deter the protest of "wrongs and injustices inflicted on the children by an allegedly enlightened school board.” He said the “100 per cent peaceful” rally would be “well policed” by his own group to forestall violence.
