(AP Wirephoto via cable from Rome), Tenant Farmer's Son Attained Highest Post VATICAN CITY (AP)--In the Bergamo region of northern Italy, they will never forget An- gel Ogiuseppe Roncalli. He was the boy who walked 12 miles a day to and from school. He was the tenant farm- er's son who went out in the world. He became Pope John XXIII. Now his name is part of history. And between Bergamo and the Alps--in the village of Sotto il Monte (Under the Mountain) --his name will live forever. it live in a seminary built on fa nd that once belonged to hig family. It will live in the hous¢ where he grew up, which will transformed into a mu- seum as a memorial to him. A priest with a country pas- tor's heart who suddenly found himself Pope, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli carried all his life the attributes of his Bergamo up- bringing. It seasoned his per- all the world as a man of hu- mility and simplicity. Pope Pius XII used to stand still before acclaiming crowds, his arms extended and motion- less in aristocratic pose. Pope John's typical. gesture was the gentle motion of upraised palms --the warm greeting of the Ber- gamo peasant. The. molding of the "Pope of unity and peace" began in rus- tic surroundings among deeply religious people 30 miles north- east of Milan where the lower Alps begin their climb into sky- scrapers of icy rock. Upon Angelo Roncalli's birth Nov. 25, 1881, his uncle Zaverio carried him from the baptismal jmation that Cardinal Roncalli had been chosen supreme pon- tiff, claimed: his brother Alfredo ex- "With all the priests they. get from this area it had to happen sometime." FAMILY WAS POOR In the 1500s, Martino Roncalli had brought his family down ffom-the high mountains to the edge of Sotto il Monte--present population 1,800. He drained a bog below the hill, built a small home and tilled the reclaimed fields as a tenant of a wealthy landowner. His descendants did the same.

When the boy would tire of the pursuit, it is said, he would produce a book from his pocket for an hour's reading on a tree tump or rock. Angelo at six was serving mass as an altar boy. He spent three years in the Sotto il Monte lementary school, then began to study under Don Bolis, pas- tor at the village of Carvico close by. Father Bolis sent the Roncalli boy to the diocesan school at Celana, near Bergamo. Angelo Roncalli walked six miles twice a day; to and from he school.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters)-- Tributes to Pope John XXIII be- gan to pour in from all parts of the world as soon as his death was announced. In a message sent to the Brit- ish minister at the Holy See, Queen Elizabeth said she and Prince Philip had received the news of Pope John's death with "deep sorrow." "On this sad occasion Her Majesty and the Duke of Edin- argh recall the impressive me- mories of their meeting with His Holiness in 1961," the message said. "Her Majesty has greatly ap- preciated the kindly feelings which His Holiness has always exhibitéd toward herself and her subjects." PRESIDENT SADDENED President Kennedy, first Ro- man Catholic president of the United States, said the Pope's "wisdom, compassion and timely strength have be queathed humanity a new leg- acy of purpose and courage for the future," The highest work of any man, Kennedy said, is to protect and carry on the deepest spiritual heritage of the human race. "To..Pope John," he added, unique Pope John, the president said, rought compassion and under. standing to the most devisive problems of a tumultuous age. "He was the chosen leader of world Catholicism, but his con- cern for the human spirit trans- cended all boundaries of belief or geography," the president said. POPE OF PEACE President Joao Goulart of Brazil said "all humamity mourns the death of a great Pope of peace."' His pontificate, though short, "was really ex- ceptional and fecund for its high initiatives." The president of the Lutheran World Federation, Franklin Clark Fry of New York, said at the organization's headquarters in Geneva: "The hearts of Christians of every confession are united to a degree that is unique for many centuries at the death of the universally esteemed and beloved John XXIII, the Pope of unity. "Thanks to God, who gave him to our generation.

The Roman Catholic Arch- bishop of Liverpool, Dr. John Heenan, Britain's senior Catho- lic archbishop, said: "It is like losing one of the family. The significant thing is that this sense of loss is felt by Protest- ants and Jews as well as Catho- lics, That is the meaure of Pope John's achievement." French President de Gaulle Said in a telegram: "I learn with profound emo- tion of the death of His Holiness John XXUI.

(CP) -- One person was killed and 17 others injured Monday when a driver- less car went out of control into a crowd of people at a race track. In the front passenger seat at the time was the wife of Sen- ator -S. S. McKeen of Vancou- ver. All of the injured, taken to hospital in Vancouver, were re- ported in fair condition or bet- ter. As 1,500 persons watched, the car crashed through a parking lot barrier and swung wildly through a crowd of about 150 lining a rail fence before com- ing to a stop at a second bar- rier 150 yards away. During the wild flight the rail from the fence smashed through the front windshield and out the back window, slightly in- juring Mrs. McKeen. Alex C. MacLeod, 66, of Rich- mond, B.C., died of multiple in- juries. Mike Sone, Province reporter covering the Paterson Park harness racing event 20 miles south of Vancouver, wrote: "Silently the car, the woman occupant seemingly frozen, mowed people down like so many ten pins. The sharp snap- ping of fenceposts and the whine of the engine intermingled with gripped audience. The people at the rails scrambled for cover, not knowing where to turn." DRAGGED 20 FEET will undoubtedly go down in his- tory as one of the most signifi- cant since the Reformation." Lord Fisher of Lambeth, for- mer Archbishop of Canterbury who visited Pope John in De- cember, 1960, the first Arch- bishop of Canterbury to do so since the Reformation, de- scribed him as "direct, impetu- ous, full of vitality and youth for. all his years." "Because he was such a man he has shaken up his own church and all the churches. He has convinced them that they are brethren in the church of Christ and must be good neigh- bors to one another," Fisher said. The driver, believed to be the sister of Mrs. McKeen, had left. the vehicle temporarily to buy tickets, police said. The car --for an unexplained reason, suddenly lunged forward, knock- ing down a two-inch steel pipe barrier and headed for the crowd along. the rail, Ose woman, eight months pregnant, was dragged 20 feet. Said the wife of the dead man: "I happened to look up and saw a car coming at us from the right. It was coming quite fast, about 30 miles an hour, and it swerved and hit the fence, snapping off posts. I just ran . . .

Coroner Trahan set next Mon- day as the date for the reopened inquest. Police said the investigation continues and other arrests are possible. ' LOOK FOR 11? The Gazette says it learned that the police are looking for 11 more suspects.

A Montreal lawyer said he had been engaged to represent Belgian and the man's French-Canadian wife. Mr. Robert said he doesn't think the total number of FLQ members if more than 20. The case was made difficult because of the small membership and because police had not estab- lished channels of contact with the terrorist circle as they have in the undenworld. 4 CARDINAL MINDSZENTY Talks Expected Concerning Mindszenty VIENNA (Reuters) --. Top- level talks are expected to be- gin in Budapest Jater this week concerning whether Joseph Car. dinal Mindszenty, the Hungarian Roman Catholic Primate, will be allowed to attend the con- clave in Rome, reliable sources said here today. Cardinal Mindszenty, living in self-imposed exile in the United United States legation in Bu- dapest since the 1956 uprising, was "'at least morally forced" -- under church rules--to attend the conclave, the sources said. However, he could decide to remain in the country "in the interest of his functions as prince-primate and Archbishop of Esztergom, if he is not given the guarantee of a free return." The sources recalled that the late Cardinal Stepinac of Yugos- lavia had not gone to Rome for the election of Pope John in 1957 for the same reason. A spokesman for the U.S. legation in Budapest said the cardinal received the news of the Pope's death Monday night. However, the American spokesman was unable to say whether the cardinal intended to leave for Rome, or whether the Pope's death would "'speed up" a settlement of the Minds- Bier In Vatican © VATICAN CITY (AP)--Count- less millions around the world '}mourned Pope John XXIII to- lay as the cardinals of the Ro- Church began pick his succes- man Catholj preparations sor. ; The 81-year-old spiritual ruler of 500,000,000 Catholics died Monday night after four days from stomach tumor and peritonitis.

Today, the cardinals began daily meetings to deal with the routine affairs of the church and to plan the conclave that will meet between June 18 and June 21 to elect Pope John's succes- sor. The first meeting was at- tended only by cardinals who were in Rome when the Pope died. But Eugene Cardinal Tis- serant, French-born dean of the College of Cardinals, Monday night sent formal notice of Pope's death to the other members of the sacred college including Paul-Emile Cardinal Leger of Montreal and James Cardinal McGuigan of Toronto and summoned them to Rome. Major decisions left over from the reign of Pope John await the new Pope. He must decide whether t continue the ecumenical cil which Pope John convened last fall and which was jsus- pended automatically at death. The council's aim greater Christian unity, and it is considered almost certain that the new Pope will summon the church's 2,400 bishops in- cluding some 60 Canadians back to Rome to resume its work. The new Pope also must dée- cide whether to move along the path of better relations with Communist governments which Pope John had opened in hopes of easing the plight of Catholics behind the Iron Curtain, The cardinals will vote twice daily in the Sistine Chapel until two-thirds of the princes of the church agree on a choice. Al- though neither a lesser prelate r a non-Italian is barred, the new Pope probably will be an Italian and a cardinal, ; zenty issue.
