Church Probe Ordered Of Pallottine Fathers A I A a i Ar- chbishop William Borders has reversed his position a a i vestigation of charges that the a i Fathers violated church law by in- i employes to Jdiscard mass requests Accompanied by less than $10. The Baltimore Sunpapers reported that the responses to millions of requests for funds sent out by the order said they had been instructed to discard mass requests accompanied by less than $10 and all requests for prayers by the priests. One of the women was quoted as saying that the sorters themselves prayed for some of the people who sent touching notes and letters along with their donations. At the time of the release of a audit of the. missionary group, the archbishop said it was not necessary to in- terview the mail sorters because he had been assured that the charges were untrue.

The prelate said he had been so assured by the Very Hev. Guido John Carcich, the former director of the Pallottines 1 a i i effort here. Other Palloltine officials a i a denied the charges at a press conference following the release of the audit. Father Carcich has since been exiled from the ar- chdiocese for his role in the order's controversial fund raising and investment schemes. The archbishop quietly ordered the investigation last week.

In a telephone interview, he said, "Because of 'the element of i in relationship to masses, I want to get to the bottom of this. I want to get to the bottom of this. "I want to see if the ladies had sufficient knowledge to really a the nature of the request of mass, how the request is made and if they had in- structions to throw away some of the "The women are either confused about the nature of what they were throwing away or they or someone else wasn't telling the truth," he said. The archbishop said that if it can be proven that the PaDottines 'threw away some mass requests, canon law requires that the order make restitution to the in-- parties and the provincial superior can censure the priests in- volved. The audit showed that the order raised $20 million in the name of its overseas missions in the 18-month period studied, but only sent 2.5 per cent of the funds to the missions.

"We had one guy from Idaho who bought "three," said Harry Clay-Bunting, chairman of this year's annual pony penning. "He put out quile a bit of money to gel them." About 120 ponies were herded across a 200-yard- wide channel Wednesday and held in a corral over- night for the auction period. The pony roundup, held for the past 150 years, is a festive occasion. About 40 foals were sold.

Prices ranged from a low of 120 to a high of $585. Bunting said he hadn't tallied day's receipts. The money raised through sale of the ponies is used to caretaker, theChincoleague Volunteer Fire Department. Between and 15,000 people gathered cloudy skies for the auction, Bunting said.

Taylor loves calling hogs so much he made his public debut as a hog caller this week and picked' up first in the city's first an- nual hog calling contest, one. of a scries of summer events to entertain workers oh their lunch hours. Now an investigator with the city public defender's office, Taylor finds it dif- ficult to explain how he learned to beckon the hogs at feeding time, but he knows a good hog caller doesn't sound much like the real thing. I guess I learned by listening to my mother and father," he said. "It's a different call altogether from the one hogs make," said Taylor, "A hog just grunts and oink-oinks, just like you see in (he children's books.
