'wT A blare of trumpets flooding St. Peter's Cathedral announced the coming of the Pope. The throng of men in full evening dress and ladies in high-necked, black gowns cheered and applauded as he was curried to the high altar. Here he is pictured just after ascending the throne. He wore the gorgeous triple crown and was enveloped in a white silk cloak embroidered in gold.

Each time he raised his hand in blessing, cries of "Long live the Pope and King!" and "Long live the Pope of Conciliation!" were heard. No longer a voluntary prisoner within the Vatican, the Pope was the temporal ruler of the Papal State, created by the treaty between government and church. TO HYDE'S ON SEWER Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and his fiance. Miss Anne Morrow, who yesterday who went through the experience of an up set plane at Valbuena military field, took to the air again this morning at 10:37 a.

m. The colonel was flying a two-passenger fleet biplane which he borrowed from the Mexican military establishment at Valbuena. Miss Anne seemed slightly nervous just before she stepped into the plane, but she quickly recov ered her composure and appeared perfectly calm as the plane left the ground. They stayed aloft for ten minutes, then landed but immediately took off again. It seemed evident that the colonel was subjecting himself and his fiancee to the army recipe of sending back intc the air men who had experienced an accident.

The colonel made a second landing, but immediately took off again the third time. He was managing the plane with one hand, his right shoulder being firmly bound because of the dislocation which it suffered in yesterday's accident. The noted pilot prepared fori the flight by donning an aviation helmet. Miss Morrow, who came to the field wearing a blue skirt and a rd sport coat, donned a leather flying jacket which one of the Mexican air officers handed to her just before the plane took off. She also wore a helmet.

The plane circled steadily about the field, not going far from its vicinity at any time. The landings and takeoffs were made from virtually the same spot each time, the crippled pilot handling the machine perfectly despite his injury. The world that loves a lover was thrilled today by the superb airmanship and gallantry of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. He exhibited thoBe traits in saving his fiancee.

Miss Anne Morrow; and himself from serious injury, or worse, yesterday when their three-hour picnic air jaunt ended in a crash. Colonel Lindbergh today had the pain of a wrenched shoulder and a badly damaged airplane to remind him of the narrowness of their escape, Miss Morrow fared better.

(P) Announcement was made today that a contract nas Deen signeu eim- ing the Soviet-British oil war by which the British again are given access to the Russian oil fields and providing for large purchases of Soviet oil by Sir Henry Deter-ding, managing director of the Royal Dutch Shell companies.

After leaving Valbuena air field yesterday with a small bag packed with sandwiches Colonel Lindbergh and Miss Morrow flew to a nearby spot for a picnic lunch. In the take-off for the return trip the airplane lost its right wheel probably, it is now believed, because a mechanic greasing it had failed to refasten the cotter key which held it to the axle. When ho was flying back to Valbuena field Colonel Lindbergh's thoughts were on his predicament, and how best to emerge from it. Finally he reached over to Miss Morrow, seated at his side, and told her, above the roar of the motor, they probably would turn over when they landed. He showed her how to take the cushions from the plane's seats and pack them around her body, with others about her head so that the shock of the clash would be lessened.

Then, to guard against explosion of the gasoline when the plane turned over he maneuvored back and forth over the field until all but the dregs in the tank were exhausted. He waved to army mechanics and officers below, pointing to his damaged landing gear, and then shot out of space onto the land, lighting gracefully on one wheel and the tail skid. It seemed for a moment the plane would come to rest without mishap, but the loose azle struck the ground and it careened forward, turning over, first on its nose and then on its back. Field attendants helped the aviator and Miss Morrow, obviously badly frightened, through its windows to the ground, His first words turning to her 'were "Are you all right?" She noticed he grasped his right Bhoulder, as if in pain, but when he protested he was not hurt she allowed him to escort her off the field to an embassy- car which took them to Mexico City. There at the Morrow home he remarked after a while the pain in his shoulder was growing more intense, and Mrs.

Morrow insisted upon calling a physician.
