Pope Wants
Nuclear Weapons
Outlawed
VATICAN CITY UP>—Pope Pius
XII says he will keep trying to
get nuclear weapons outlawed. He
looks to the United Nations to
achieve this.
The Pope said this yesterday at
a private audience, ?unusual for
Palm Sunday, with Dr. Masotoshi
Matushita, special Japanese en
voy touring Europe to agitate for
an end to tests of nuclear weap
ons. Matsushita said he was “very
much pleased” with the Pontiff’s
attitude.
Representing Prime Minister
Nobosuke Kishi, Matsushita came
to Italy from London after Prime
Minister MacMillan’s government
again declined to call off the
forthcoming British H-bomb tests
at Christmas Island in the Pacific.
Members of Britain’s opposition
Labor Party have demanded post
ponement of the tests, but the
government expects parliament to
approve its stand after a defense
debate this wefek.
The Pope gave Matsushita a
copy of his 1956 Christmas ad
dress in which he said:
“Only in the ambit of an insti
tution like the United Nations can
promises of nations to reduce
armament, especially to abandon
production and use of certain
arms, be mutually exchanged un
der the strict obligation of inter
national law.” The Pontiff en-1
dorsed aerial inspection to en
force disarmament pledges.

Maneuver Near Denmark
FREDERIKSHAVEN, Denmark
UPt—Russian warships started ma
neuvers Friday in the narrow
waters between Denmark and
Sweden, naval sources here said
Saturday.
A spokesman Said at least three
fast destroyers have been ob
served in the northern part of the
Kattegat, which separates Swe
den and the main Danish penin
sula of Jutland, and in the Skag
errak, which separates Denmark
and Norway. In some cases the
destroyers have been close to
Swedish territorial waters.
The Swedish navy and air force
are staging maneuvers in the
Gotheburg area, off Sweden’s
west coast.
The Frederikshaven naval com
mand said there was “nothing un
usual” in the Russian movements.
The Red navy previously has
staged exercises in international
waters around Denmark*
Owner of Spiked Head
Of Cromwell Dies
WOODRIDGE, England GP)—An
English churchman who kept the
gruesome spiked head of Oliver
Cromwell in his study died Satur
day at 85.
Canon Horace Ricardo Wilkin
son inherited the head of the
Great Emancipator from his fath
er and bequeathed it to his son—
steadfast to the last against giving
the relic to a museum.
Cromwell, who died in 1658,
was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Three years later his body was
exhumed and hung on a gallows.
A mob tore off the head and
stuck it on a pike. For 25 years it
was on display in Westminster j
Hall. In 1787 a London pawn-1
broker bought it and in 1812 the j
head was sold to Canon Wilkin- i
son’s grandfather for 100 pounds j
—then worth about $500.
Would-Be Hero
| Suspected of
Being Kidnaper
OKLAHOMA CITY Adver
tising executive Lowe Runkle
was nursing his wounds Saturday,
oaaif am dn oaiS o; pauiuuajop
business. His state of mind re
sulted from a comedy of errors
that came after he attempted to
save a small boy from a tenarious
bulldog and almost ended up in
the clonk himself.
This is the way it happened.
He was driving along an Okla
homa City street when he saw a
boy—Brue Allen Pitts, 7—trying
to break loose from a bulldog
which had its teeth clamped in
the lad’s leg. The youngster was
screaming, “Save me! Save me!”
Runkle leaped from his car,
grabbed the boy, and finally man
aged to shake the dog loose. He
then tripped over the dog and fell
down. Jumping up, he got the boy
again and put him in his car, but
dog leaped inside,
before he could close the door the
He caught the bulldog, put him
outside the car. But meantime,
the boy—who explained later that
he had been told never to get in
a strange man’s auto—leaped out
the other side.
The dog took out after the boy
again.
By this time, the commotion
had attracted the boy’s mother'.
She called the police, thinking
Runkle was attempting to kidnap
Bruce. Runkle nabbed the boy for
the third time and the dog turned
on him, nipping his leg.
By this time, Runkle appeared
to be the kidnapper and the dog
the hero.
While being treated at a hospi
tal for minor wounds, the situa
tion was untangled. The dog was
placed under observation to de
termine whether he had rabies.
Commented the boy’s mother:
“Bruce’s actions were com
mendable in a way, it was just
the wrong circumstances.
Runkle heartily agreed.
