Lanawee. STATE MICHIGAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Pope John XXIII John XXIII Crowned 262nd Pope Is Invested as Spiritual Leader of Roman Catholic Church In Ancient Ceremony By WILLIAM L. RYAN VATICAN CITY, Nov. 4 (P- -Pope John XXIII was crowned today in glittering medieval ceremonies investing him as the 262nd spiritual ruler of the Roman Catholic church. A mighty roar went up from some 200,000 persons in the great square of St.

Peter's at the climactic moment in the coronation of the successor to Pope Pius XII. A threat of rain was in the air and an occasional fell. Nicola Cardinal Canali, aged pro-dean of the college of cardinals, placed the beehive-shaped tiara of jewel-encrusted gold on the head of the sharecropper's son from a little north Italian village. There were more than four hours of impressive religious rites inside the vast basilica of St. Peter's.

The coronation took place on the same central balcony overlooking the square on which Pope John made his first appearance a week ago today after his election by the college of cardinals. POMP, HUMILITY All the pomp and ceremony of the Roman Catholic church were mustered for the coronation rites. But there was humility, in the presence of the pontiff's family. Three brothers, a sister and numerous nephews and nieces were present, dressed in black peasant Sunday best. They watched in awe, weeping with emotion, as their kinsman, the former Angelo Giuseppe Cardinal Roncalli, went through the coronation ceremony.

Through 76-year-old former patriarch of Venice remained serene, often smiling benignly. His voice throughout the long mass and his greetings to the Catholic hierarchy of the world remained clear and resonant. The crowd began to roar as 84-year-old Cardinal Canali took the crown in his hands and prepared to place it on the pontiff's head. The pontiff adjusted the crown himself and looked solemnly out into the crowd. 'URBI ET ORBI' The pope rose slowly and chanted his "urbi et traditional blessing of the pontiff to the city of Rome and the world.

The crowd remained silent throughout his recitation, delivered in a firm, loud voice.

A light turnout and bloodshed marked the heavily guarded balloting in the revolt-torn nation yesterday, but lopsided early figures from the four-man race indicated a landslide for Rivero Aguero.

Unofficial tabulations from 717-or 43 percent- of the island's 8,521 precincts gave: Rivero Aguero 439,991 votes; Carlos Marquez Sterling 528; former President Ramon Grau San Martin Alberto Salas Amaro 7,754. Returns were lacking on other races. But government quarters expressed belief most of their candidates for the senate, house, six governorships and 126 mayoralties were being swept into office with Rivero Aguero. Despite Rivero Aguero's rising total, neither the candidate nor Batista early today had claimed victory. Nor had the opposition conceded.

But there was no doubt of the outcome, which had been generally predicted in advance. Hundreds of thousands of the nation's 2,870,000 eligible voters -perhaps as many as 60 percent--stayed away from the polls. Apathy and fear were factors. Rebel Leader Fidel Castro had called for a boycott. With eight candidates killed during the campaigning, Castro threatened death to all other candidates and reprisals against Cubans who voted.

Government sources, predicted, however, that would show about 65 percent had disregarded Castro's warnings and voted. Traffic Halted By Black Mare ATLANTA, Nov. 4.

During the last six weeks, "Campus Crossroads" articles have reported what Michigan offers its youth in the way of opportunities, what preparation the colleges demand colleges prospective students and what it costs to attend different institutions. The articles have also explored the problems facing the colleges as they look ahead to an enrollment increase of unprecedented proportions in the next 12 years. They have also pointed out that rising admission standards may exclude some students from college in the next few years.

In gathering material for these articles, Baird traveled more than 2,000 miles, personally visiting the campuses of 20 public and private colleges in Michigan, interviewing presidents, deans and other institutional officials. He talked also with many other officials of state and private agencies and examined dozens of reports and publications concerned with higher education in Michigan. this lengthy study has come "Campus Crossroads." the most comprehensive report of the state's opportunities for college education and the needs of institutions providing those opportunities ever published by a Michigan newspaper.

Generally, the weather there were a few straws to boost Repartisans were turning out in a fashion to trump advance Democratic claims of possible unprecedented gains. Outstate Michigan, much of it traditionally Republican, reported very heavy voting while in Democratic Detroit the balloting was running behind 1954 and 1956. Maryland's early vote was heavier than anticipated. In the past, a big vote has usually worked to the advantage of Republicans in that heavily Democratic state. Pre-election estimates were that 48 million voters would cast HEAVY VOTE IN OHIO Hot fights in some states over right-to-work proposals helped draw voters to the polls.

A record off-year vote appeared in prospect in Ohio. Many polling places, particularly in industrial sections, had long lines waiting when they opened. The right-to-work proposals bar labor management contracts which require a worker to join a union to hold his job. In addition to Ohio, such proposals were on the ballot in California, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho and Washington. In New York, the contest between Democratic Gov.

Averell Harriman and Republican Nelson Rockefeller for the governorship was pulling out voters in apparently record or near-record numbers. EARLY RETURNS As usual, there were a few small polling places which got ballots quickly from all their eligible voters and made their counts. Waterville, N. was first. It gave 15 votes to Wesley Powell, Republican candidate for governor, and six to Bernard L.

IKE VOTES EARLY President Eisenhower was one of those who got in his vote early. He hopped by helicopter from the White House lawn to Gettysburg, where he is registered, and put in his ballot, then returned to Washington. Former Pres. Herbert Hoover and former Democratic Chairman James A. Farley exchanged greetings as both put their ballots in early in the same New York city precinct.

However, the voting pace in Democratic Detroit was running slightly behind that of off-year 1954 and way behind that of 1956.

Election and party officials have forecast a voter turnout of about 2,250,000 today, compared with more than 3,000,000 who cast ballots in 1956 and 2,180,000 in 1954. The Detroit election commission reported that 5,000 fewer ballots had been cast in the first three hours today than four years ago, and that voting was running at, about half the pace of 1956. But early trends in outstate precincts showed heavier voting than four years ago, although behind the presidential pace of 1956. Jackson, Alpena, Kalamazoo, Benton Harbor. St.

Retirement Late Nov. (UPI) Thompson, 55, a maintenance man at the university for more than 30 years, died yesterday on the day of his reItirement. Houghton and Hancock, in the upper peninsula, reported returns coming in at about the same rate as usual in non-presidential years. Main election interest has focused on the race for governor, where Gov. G.

Mennen Williams, 47, is seeking an unprecedented sixth two year term over the opposition of Republican Paul D. Bagwell, 47, a speech professor at Michigan State university. Both men have covered the state in their campaigning. Major issue has been whether the policies of Democrat Williams. and his close association with big organized labor, are driving industry out of Michigan.

Williams has replied that the recession is due to the Republican administration in Washington. Sen. Charles E. Potter. 42, of Cheboygan, one of the last Republicans to hold top statewide elective office, is fighting for his political life and a second sixyear term in Washington.

He is opposed by Philip A. Hart, 45, the lieutenant governor and a close political associate of Williams. THEIR CHARGES Main charges in this hot race have been Potter's contention that Hart is a tool of labor bosses, and Hart's reply that he is his own boss and that Potter's congressional record leaves much to be desired.

Despite the clash over the civil rights issue, the south's more responsible spokesmen express no desire for a party break that might lead to a third protest movement in 1960. In state after state, the shrewd Democratic "pros" are trying to recapture their organization from the hands of the extreme New Deal-Fair Deal "radicals" whom President Eisenhower cites as a threat to "sensible and responsible government." The Democratic leaders' and committee chairmen Capitol Hill have no more use for the leftists in their ranks, "the socialists and the spenders." than have President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon. OVERBOARD FOR THE A. D. THESE Democrats recognize that they cannot afford to be classified as extravagant or untrustworthy a label their opponents hope will stick in the voters' minds today and in the 1960 presidential contest.
