8- A THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR SATUKIMY, JUNE Z. 1979 o-m ri T-r itiinnniroTi IIICCIVT' Papal 'Souvenir Hunters' Taking Anything That Isn't Nailed Down Wadowice, Poland (UPI) Souvenir hunters are plaguing the church officials preparing for the return of Pope John Paul II to this small town where he grew up. Two thousand passes to the Mass the former Karol Wojtyla will celebrate in Wadowice's town square and the Pope's favorite ski poles have disappeared, a priest lamented Friday. THE APPARENT theft of the tickets was an annoying problem for the Pope's clerical advance men. "We've already forgiven those who stole them because we know they were faithful people who just wanted to see the Pope," the priest said.

"But there are 18,000 people in this town," he sighed, "and with all the farmers coming in from the countryside, 30,000 tickets were barely enough to take care of our own flock." In nearby Kalwaria, Franciscan friars were frantically searching for the Pontiff's favorite ski poles, which he left in their monastery for safe-keeping. 'Tm sure someone has stolen them," growled Brother Stanislaw. "Probably someone who collects small things belonging to the Pope." Immediately after the Pope's election, someone stole the papal hairbrush from John Paul's residence in Krakow. The friars said the Pope visited the Kalwaria monastery frequently when he lived in Krakow. He had been coming there since be was a small child, and his mother brought him on pilgrimages to pray at tne porirau saint Mary of Kalwaria.

THE MONASTERY Kalwaria is the Polish word for Calvary has an elaborate "way of th cross" with prayer stations along a four-mile road that symbolizes the path Jesus Christ followed to his Crucifixion. The pilgrimage scene was constructed in 1602 by a local nobleman who hoped to turn Kalwaria into a substitute for the Holy Land, which was then occupied by the Turks and unsaie tor inristians. "As Cardinal Wojtyla, he would walk from station to station, even in tne worst winter weather, said Brother Edward of the Pope. "When the road was slippery he used those ski poles to steady himself. It really is a pity they were stolen.

me two organizations are running CART forces face an immediate, pressing decision on that race since deadline for entries is today. No CART entries are in at this time, and Mattioli said Friday he has received only "30 to 32" entries for what is scheduled to be a 33-car starting field. He said he didn't know how many of those were backup cars. Even with the short list, Mattioli said he didn't know whether he will accept post entries (those filed after the deadline) from CART. "I don't know what the legal ramifications are," he said.

WORKMEN FRIDAY finished laying an enormous red carpet in a vast swath across the square, across a wide road and up to the tomb of Poland's unknown soldier. The scarlet strip was 10 feet wide and 500 yards long. In Vatican City, the Pope rested Friday and made final preparations for his airliner trip. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano criticized the Polish Communist government for its contention that the Pontiff's historic visit was just a visit by a head of state. The Vatican newspaper, noting the Pope's trip was "above all a religious event," said: "The pilgrimage of the Pope is certainly of extraordinary importance, of especial delight to Poland, but first and foremost a religious fact of universal value." people more than a glimpse, church sources said.

Papal aides told security authorities the Pope would like to halt the triumphal motorcade taking him into Warsaw, climb down from the throne he will ride atop a flatbed truck and meet his people. TENS OF THOUSANDS of extra police were on duty, and the government had the help of 10,000 marshals drafted by the church. Despite the Communist government and its official disapproval of religion, 83 percent of all Poles are baptized Roman Catholics, and most of them are practicing members of the faith. But John Paul's visit was an occasion for nationalistic as well as religious pride. "Of course I will go see him," said one man who professed no strong religious belief.

"How could I tell my children I did not go to see Poland's Pope?" Inside Warsaw's scores of churchs, long lines of people patiently bought small papal flags and rosettes in the white-and-gold papal colors, then stuffed field. Only two of the cars are backups witn no drivers assigned, he said. Continued From Page 1 come to the Speedway. It sounds to me like USAC and IMS are one in the same." Alexander is one member of a three-man CART committee named last week to negotiate with USAC in an attempt to settle differences between the two warring factions. Other members are Gurney and Jerry O'Connell, who owns the car driven by Tom Sneva and who was the only CART director which USAC did not attempt to keep out of this year's Asked what effect the Speedway's action would have on negotiations with USAC, Alexander said, "If we are supposed to be sitting down at the negotiating table, I don't know what the hell they are doing.

It doesn't sound like they are saying 'let's kiss and make THE IMMEDIATE beneficiary of the Speedway's bombshell is the Pocono race, and Dr. Joseph Mattioli, president of Pocono International Raceway, said Friday: "I'm surprised. The possibility had been kicked around in some casual conversation I had heard. After we made our race invitational, there was some discussion that the Speedway might do the same thing next year. But I had heard nothing from any Speedway people along these lines, so I have to say I'm surprised." Mattioli and CART have been negotiating for several weeks to determine whether the latter would enter its cars in the Pocono race.

Recently, CART'S position on the debated issue has been: Only if the race is run under our rules and with our officials. BUT PATRICK said Friday that the two sides "were still negotiating.

"I WOULD TRAVEL anywhere in the world to see our own Pope," said a Polish woman arriving aboard the Moscow train at the central railway station. "This is the greatest day in Poland's history," said a woman arriving from Lithuania.

The millions coming to see the Pope, including many Poles from the United States, were expected to double Warsaw's population today. Worried government officials warned the people not to overcrowd balconies along the motorcade route, for fear they might collapse. Persons who lived in apartments overlooking the motorcade route were selling window viewing spots for up to $65 each. Officials forbade any climbing on trees or the capital's many grandiose public monuments by those trying to get a glimpse of the Pope.

Friday's session followed a similar meeting with oil-industry executives Friday and preceded an unusual Friday evening Camp David parley with 10 to 12 members of the House of Representatives, where Democrats have rejected some of Mr. Carter's key energy proposals. Powell insisted the secretive Camp David affair was "primarily social," even though several congressmen have been calling for an energy summit with the President.

POTTENGER NURSERY 3401 LAFAYETTE ROAD The President summoned first the oil-industry executives and then the consumer representatives in an effort to gather information on current gasoline shortages and to marshal some kind of consensus support for his tattered energy policies. "WE OBVIOUSLY hope that the information that respectively can be gained from these two groups will be of assistance to the President in making decisions," Powell said. "We also obviously hope that both of these groups will be in fact even more conscious of the overriding national interest involved in this issue." He said it is not important "that we have decisions which are 100 percent in agreement" with everyone's views, and that the White House would be satisfied when "we in fact have decisions that deal with this problem."

oil prices went into effect THE DOMESTIC-oil price will rise gradually to the world level by 1981, with the initial step expected to cost consumers about 1 cent more per gallon for gasoline and heating oil by the end of the year. Mr. Carter claims that the higher prices will discourage consumption and encourage production. House Democrats last week voted by a 2 to 1 margin to disapprove decontrol. Later this month, the full House is expected to vote on a proposal to reinsti-tute the price ceilings in defiance of the President.

In a related development, it was learned Friday that 10 House members are planning to unveil next week a proposal for standby legislation designed to encourage Americans and, in emergencies, force them to leave their cars home one day a week. Sources said the bill would require each auto to bear a color-coded sticker to indicate the day that car is supposed to stay off the roads. President Advised To Replace Energy Head Schlesinger Y. TIMIt NlWt IIRVICI Washington Senior members of President Carter's staff have advised him that Secretary of Energy James R. Schlesinger has become a political liability and should be replaced, according to administration officials.

But those officials said that Mr. Carter, who prides himself on his loyalty to his principal subordinates, had not agreed so far to Schlesinger's departure. They also said that Mr. Carter was proud of having kept his Cabinet intact since his inauguration. Even so, political advisers, led by Tim Kraft, the President's assistant for political affairs, and Stuart E.

Eizenstat, Mr. Carter's chief adviser on domestic policy, were said to be looking for a way to ease Schlesinger out within the next few months, well before the presidential primaries begin next winter. Nonetheless, officials in the administration in a position to know confirmed privately that the President's political advisers had told the President that Schlesinger had made the administration politically vulnerable and should be removed as energy secretary.

The suit also names David Conley, president of the athletic association, as a defendant. "My children registered in February to play Little League and paid $30," Ponsler said. "They accepted the candy to sell, but no one told us it was a requirement for league play, only that it was help they needed for the league. "Mr.

Conley would not give any particular method for me to use when I offered to help with the dump truck to make up the difference. So he wouldn't issue uniforms to my children and under Little League rules you can't play without a uniform.
