Page 1) I the private apartments to the chapel was headed bv the Swiss 1 Vatican Guaidi in the medieval costumes designed by Michelangelo It included the entire diplomatic corps at the Holy See, all the cardinals now in Rome, the Palatine Guards, staff officers of the various armv coips of the Papal State and ecclesiastical and lay dignitaries marching with bowed heads The decision to place the body in semi-private state in the chapel before its transfer to St Peter's restored the traditions of thirty- six years ago In Red Velvet Resting on a red vehtt stretcher the body was lowered from the small barren and almost cell- like room where the Pope died on the thud floor of the Papal Palace and into the Sistme Chapel Friday night only the Roman aiistocracy, members of the diplomatic corps and officials of the Vatican State were permitted to file past the body, but Saturday the weeping men, women and children that knelt in prayer St Peter's square throughout the day ivill be permitted to say goodbye to "II Nostro Papa" Four Noble Guards with drawn swoids pointed to the floor stood the death watch The transfer of the body to the chapel followed the taking of a death mask by the fficial Vatican engiavei and sculptor, Aurelio and a formal act of identification of the body by Car- dinai Pacelli and members of the Apostolic Chamber Premier Benito Mussolini was one of the first to extend his condolences to Caidmal Pacelli Duce's Statement The disappearance of the Pope of Conciliation is a misfortune for the church and for the Italian people," II Duce said "Interpreting sentiment of the Italian people, I send your Most Reverend Eminence and the Sacred Col leges the condolences of the Fascist government and myself" As soon as Mussolini was advised of the Pope's death, he ordered the flags of all public buildings put at half niast in sign of rrournmg, and it was reported that he would cancel all but the most important of his official engagements The government decieed that today and on the Pope's funeral day--climax of nine days of ritual--all public spectacles are forbidden and schools will be closed on the funeral day are counting heavily on the reaction on the 'folks at home," and believe the letters assemblymen have received in favor of the lottery outnumber those in opposition Thej will wait a little longer, trying to aeteimme the correct psychological moment, a bring the resolution again to a senate vote Adoption there is considered a foregone conclusion in view of the previous favorable vote of 13 to 3 When the measure is sent to the

Almost immediately W. Cioss, night watchman at Hobart Lumber Mill, verified the robin storj, said he had seen fourteen of the redbreast variety, and Clarence Dietrich, 122 Rock Street, said he'd seen some, too, and that he is feeding them. F.ank Campbell, county tax assessor, reported he is feeding 20 quail and a general assortment of other birds during the cold spell And Bob Quivey of Carlisle's confidentially he's feeding a couple of pheasants. We suspect, though, that Bob is just sort of prolonging their lives for a selfish purpose With another severe storm predicted, most of us will have to start feeding, or see the birds die all over the place And judging from weather reports, those robins sure made a blunder, stopping in Reno this early in the year.
