RICHWOOD, W. Va., UPI—A gas explosion—the second

coal mine near here today, trapping 17 men.*
“We don’t know whether they are alive or dead,” said
Percy W. Bright, an official of the Ogleby-Norton Coal Co.
“We know only that 17 men are inside.” *
Bright said another 39 miners in the pit were reported

VATICAN CITY (UPI) — The Sacred College of Car-
dinals today elected Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, 77-year-old
Italian patriarch of Venice, as the 262nd pope of the Ro-
man Catholic Church. He. will reign as Pope John XXIII. ,
Roncalli is considered a "non-political" pope—in short,
one who will devote his main effort to the spiritual affairs
of the church rather than to international events.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—SecreUry
of State John Foster Dulles said
today the Chinese Reds’ on-again-
off-again shelling of Quemoy and
Matsu was outlandish and unciv-
ilized. He declared it was designed
for promiscuous killing of civilians
rather than any military objec-
tive.
Dulles told a news conference
that the Communist tactics .were
unprecedented in history and ap-
parently were designed to save
face after the intensive red bom- ' '
bardment of the offshore i s l a nds
failed to blockade them.
The secreUry would not predict
whether the shelling would in-
crease or decrease. But he said
he did not think it was likely that
the Reds would raise their mili-
tary efforts to the point likely to
provoke general war.

CORPUS CHRISTI (UPI)— A
federal agent has testified that he
investigated and could find no
record of a $500,000 loan which
George Parr claims the county
made to him.
The testimony was presented
Monday at a bankruptcy hearing.
The government claims the
money was not a loan but income.
Federal agent Edgar Henley said
he put aside some 600 checks on
which he wanted to make further
investigation but when he went

Buffalo hunting was revived in
the Brazos bottoms last week.
Dutch Voelkel reports that a
female buffalo, brought into the
area by Charles Coates as some-
thing of a novelty for his ranch,
became unmanageable. It broke
down fences at will, roamed the
neighboring pastures and fields,
and scared the daylights out of .
some of the bottoms residents
who had never seen such an an-
imal roaming at large. Voelkel
said it took up with the cattle on
his place for a while, and his
son, Travis Voelkel, Jr., had fun
peppering the buffalo with salt
packed in .22 rifle shells. Mr.
Coates obtained a permit from
the state to kill the animal, and
a hunt was organized. The mod-
ern Buffalo Bills managed to
herd the bison into a pan where
they were able to shoot it. The
big animal dressed out at 650
pounds, providing plenty of buf-
falo steaks;

Vatican sources predicted that
coronation of the new Pope would
take place Nov. 9. Coronation is
traditionally held on a Sunday, as
soon as possible after election.
A cardinal priest, he was born
Nov. 25, 1881, and was created a
cardinal by the late Pope Pius
XII—whom he succeeds—on Jan.
12, 1953.
The son of a north Italian share-
cropper, the new Pope served for
27 years as a successful Vatican
diplomat, but was known as al-
ways a bishop at heart.
The election of the Venetian
patriarch came on the third day
of voting—apparently on the 11th
ballot.
A Short Signal .
First news of his election came
to the world when a thin white
wisp of smoke circled up at 5:07
p.m. (10:07 a.m. c.s.t.) from the
chimney above the Sistine Chapel.
The smoke signal was short and
indistinct at first, leaving the
hushed crowd of 200,000 persons
gathered in St. Peter’s Square in
anguished anticipation.
The first official announcement
that the world's half billion Roman
Catholics had a new spiritual
leader came when the Vatican
Radio said in a Portuguese lan-
guage broadcast at 5:23 p.m.
‘The church has a new pope.”
As news of the papal election
spread by radio and word of
mouth throughout Rome, thous-
ands began hurrying by foot or
car to the Vatican.

placing Miss Thecla Mueller. Mrs.
Lowman is a graduate of Sam
Houston State College.
Miss Mueller has resigned effec-

Mrs. E. J. Hacker has been em-
ployed to teach in the intermediate

who has been teaching at Old
Washington, has been transferred
to the Brenham Elementary School

created with the resignations of
Miss Mueller and Mrs. Gladys

tem several weeks ago.
