The pope recalled the biblical injunction that the Lord gave in calling to the priesthood "the men he himself had decided on" and said the decision expresses the conviction of the church.

He received enthusiastic applause after this statement. The pope, who has refused all requests to release priests from their yows since he was elected nearly a year ago, also was interrupted by applause three times when he spoke of fidelity to the priesthood. "We do not return the gift once given," the pope said in reiterating his position that once a man becomes a Eriest, he should not be released from is vows. "It cannot be that God who gave the impulse to say 'Yes' now wishes to hear the pope said. See Iowans, Page 13 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Pope John Paul II traveled from a gold-domed Eastern rite cathedral to a country church west of the Mississippi Thursday, preaching of the simple, rural life and of Catholic traditions on priestly vows and the ordination of women.

"On your farms, you are close to God's nature; in your work on the land you follow the rhythm of the seasons; and in your heart you feel close to each other as children of a "common father and as brothers and sisters in Christ," the pontiff told the 205 parishioners of St. Patrick's Church, set amid cornfields near dimming, Iowa. But the pontiff's messages Thursday also addressed some of the most explosive issues in the Catholic Church in America. He told a group of priests and nuns at a mass in Philadelphia that "priesthood is forever" and that it is not a vocation for women. Addressing himself to the emotional issue of ordaining women as priests, the pontiff said it is not a violation of ml ii-'V )Vp If- -i tip V3r sa'v i i Til 'JsS-t.

"That man speaks our language," he said. "He knows how to talk to simple folk like us." farmer, John Lynch, intervened. "He's a dandy he can stay with us any time he likes."

MURPHY WINDSOR LOCKS Victims of Wednesday's tornado that devastated sections of this town and neighboring Windsor became eligible for millions of dollars in federal aid Thursday when President Carter declared the towns a major disaster area. The news was greeted with relief by public officials who estimated the 15-minute storm did $214 million in damage. It also claimed two lives, hospitalized 143 persons and injured 350 others who were treated either in emergency rooms or first aid stations.

The other $50 million in damage was to private planes, hangars and state buildings. Bradley's main terminal was undamaged and the airport reopened for airline traffic about 11 a.m. See Tornado, Page 12 President Carter Thursday offered federal assistance to repair an estimated $214 million in property damage (Courant Photo by Judy Griesedieck).

Logue had issued his daily orders to close the plant after pickets assembled to block six intersections around the plant. At a hearing Wednesday on the company's request for an injunction against the closing orders, Logue told Dorsey he had not waited for violence to occur before issuing his orders, but thought "near-riot conditions" and the threat of violence were sufficient to Invoke powers he previously used only when facing a natural disaster such as a snowstorm.
