Pope Holds Audience For Fifth Army VATICAN CITY, June 21 (UP) Pope Pius XII held a special "Fifth Army" audience in Benediction Hall this morning, receiving 4000 soldiers representing every unit of the forces that liberated Rome. The delegations included large groups of Americans, English and French. Among the Americans were Negroes, Nisei-Japanese-Americans and AVACs.

The Pope addressed the soldiers both in English and French. Speaking first to the Americans he told them that although they were now in the midst of war they "must not forget peace and God." In addressing the French troops, the Pope referred to "martyred France" and said he hoped they soon would be able to return to their homeland. Clairton High Graduate Missing Over Germany Lt.

She also rapped the Railways Co. refusal to join with the City in the petition. The move for free rides was initiated by Councilman Thomas J.

Brunwasser was ordered by the Commissioners to go back over the phone bills for 1942. 1943 and this year and compile the amount owed by the Authority to the County for such phone calls. Kane, after pointing out that the County originally agreed to furnish the local FPHA with phone ser-1 vice because the Authority had only one phone and only two or three projects in the County, declared: "We don't have any right to take the taxpayer's money to finance the Federal Government. We ought to bill them for all the long-distance or local phone calls that the County has a record of." The Authority, according to County Engineer Alex Brunwasser, now has 20 phones in its offices in the County Office Bldg. and makes numerous phone calls to New York and Washington.

He intimated, however that he intends to see a number of foreign diplomats, thus giving his trip an international aspect and causing the perennial reports to be revived.

They number into the millions. Two very vital wartime products meat and wool are provided by Utah's sheep and lambs.

Utah also produces vast quantities of grain, fruits, sugar beets and other vegetables. Its rich mineral deposits contribute greatly to the war effort. Since 1869, Utah has relied on Union Pacific to transport its products over "the strategic middle route" uniting Utah with the East and the Pacific Coast. The steel rails have formed an everlasting bond of commerce and friendship between Utah and Union Pacific. This bond has been strengthened by a common cause; the determination to speed victory.
