The weatherman expected IV2 to two inches of rain to have fallen before it stopped early this morning.

But the good news was that the chance of more rain today is negligible, he says. The weatherman forsees high temperatures in the fiOs today with partly sunny skies, and partly cloudy skies tonight with a low temperature near 40, he says. The forecast for Tuesday is variable cloudiness with a high in the upper 50s. The weatherman said some urban flooding is expected today as a result of the rain, but it will be nothing out of the ordinary. a member ot tne benate select Watergate investigation committee, said it was "absolutely -K test of risin orices that bean!

The Nixon Administration, its budget-cutting policies, announced it will step up funding fight cancer. During the next three months. $54 million that has been frozen since last July will be released to the National Can-jeer Institute (NCI). SEE STORIES ON PAGE 6 been denouncing these moves at every opportunity here. These men argue that the study of cancer has reached a point where a stepped-up effort in basic research will bring about cures, or at least vastly improved and cheaper treatments.

Rauscher agreed with Romberg and said the scientific community is now putting together thick documents to prove to the White House that funding if the pre-jliminary data supports the position that federal money is the only available source and that the programs must go on. Kornberg said that the present attitude about science had prevailed back in the 1950s about polio research; the bulk of the federal funds went into iron lungs and centers to handle paralyzed polio victims and little help was available for the biology research efforts that in fact led to polio vaccine. The NCI director said the added $.1 million cannot be used to increase training and, research grants, however. It's the training grant cuts; that have particularly upset the 50 scientists who have come here for the six days of lectures and discussions svith The training money goes to young researchers men and women in their 20s and 30s who are cutting new paths, through the complex field of! biological research.

Pierce told supervisors and foremen that "failure 011 your part to report all infractions of findings of alcoholic beverage containers will result in disciplinary action."

Although the pontiff did not specifically cite Albania by name, Vatican officials said it was clear he was referring to the Adriatic nation that is Communist China's principal ally in Europe.

The Vatican learned last week that a priest in Albania had been executed for the offense of baptizing a newborn baby at the request of its parents. Speaking to a crowd of pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square abovt. the approaching festival of Easter, the. Pope urged them to "remember in your prayers When vou think Ford.

"There still is a Church obliged to live, rather survive, in the shadow of fear and in the asphyxiating and para'yzm? darkness of an artifical and oppressing legality," the Pope said. "It is a church of silence, of patience, of agony because of its lack of the legitimate and natural right to profess, in perfect civic loyalty, its religious faith and carry out its mission of spiritual and moral education as well as its function of social charity." In a broadcast on the Albanian situation, Vatican Radio said the last priests there are dying and that those who have survived or escaped prison camps are forced to live secretly with parents or friends.
