Move Erupts Today
Against War Without
Reservation at Rome
ROME—A strong movement
has erupted in the Vatican
Ecumenical Council for the Rom-
an Catholic Church to condemn
modern war without reservation.
Bishop after Bishop arose today
to attack nuclear war. They de-
manded the church condemn all
nuclear arms, even for defense.
And some called for moral sup-
port for conscientious objectors.
The condemnation came from
Bishops from England, Canada,
Europe and North Africa. It
represented a growing wave of
opposition to the stand taken by
many U-S prelates that nuclear
arms are permissible to be used
as a war deterrent.
The council fathers are debat-
ing the fifth and last chapter
of their document on modern
world problems. The title of the
chapter is: “The Building of
Peace.” ‘

A one-week holiday in Jamai-

Byers—of 2601 Woodlawn, as a
result of his sales record in a re-
cent contest sponsored by World
Book Encyclopedia.
Byers, an area manager for
the firm, will fly to Montego Bay
for six days October 30. The last
two days of the trip will be
spent in Kingston, where, at a
reception and banquet, he will
receive a cash award from How-
ard’ V. Phalin, president of
World Book.
Byers is one of 52 sales man-
mon Killebrew of the Twins and
Lou Johnson of the Dodgers.
Enthusiasm was running high
in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
The stadium was gaily decorated
and the fans roared as their fav-
orite Twins hit the ball to all
sections of the park in batting
practice.
Drysadel has a season record
of 23 victories and 12 losses.
Grant has a 21 and seven mark.
He pitched six shutouts this
year to Drysdale’s seven. Grant
was in front, however, at throw-
ing home run balls. He yielded
34 homers while Drysdale limit-
ed the opposition to 30. Drys-

and was the only .300 hitter on

The Twins also went out in

The Dodgers took the lead at
the start of the second inning
when lead-off man Ron Fairly
drilled a home run over the

then retired the next three bat-

The Twins tied the score in
