The crimson. purple. black and brown of their robes and the bril- liant uniforms of papal guards mingled with the many-colored umbrellas the pilgrims used against the fierce sun.

BOAR OF APPLAUSI

A roar of applause rose from the crowd as the Pope, sitting in his throne high up on the steps of the basulca under a magnificent red and gold canopy. pronounced the solemn words or canonization: “We decree and define the “ ‘ Dontiff Pius X to be a saint and we inscribe him in the catalog of saints."

The bells of St. Peter's and of most of the other 500 churches of Rome broke out in a ti umphant peel.

At the same time a veil fell away from a huge tapestry hang- ing on the facade oi the basilica, shfliwing the new saint outlined in go .

The congregation fell to its knees as the Pope knelt in silent prayer before his throne for a. few min- uies before proclaiming the can- onlzation.

Then thousands of voices took up the ancient hymn "come Holy Ghost" as he returned to his throne and with a gem-studded miire on his head and a white silk mantle falling from his shoulders made the proclamation.

Menzies’ Coalilion

SYDNEY. Australia (CF) — The Liberal - Country party coalition government of Prime Minister Robert Menzies. returned to power for a third three-year term in Sat- urday's general election. is ex’ pected to have a majority of at least seven seats over the Labor Opposition when all the votes have been counted.

As the counting continued Sun- day night ihe coalition had 02 to Labor's 55 with four seats still doubtful. The final outcome in ex- pected to be 64 seats for the coali- tion and 57 for Labor, a gain of four for the Opposition from the last Parliament.

The Labor party led by Dr. Herbert Evatt actually received more votes than the coalition can- diaies but this wasn't reflected in the number of seats it won be- cause it was the result of heavy majorities in labor strongholds.

Menzies was re-elected from his own constituency by a healthy majority. as was Opposition Leader Evatt.

Country party leader Sir Arthur Fadden. treasurer in the Menzies government, was re-elected and other cabinet ministers were re- turned.

VOTING QUIET

The voting. compulsory in Aus- tralia with those failing to ballot subject to fines, went off quietly.

French High Command In lndo-China Told To Defend All Red River Delta

By Larry Alissa

I-IANOI, lndo-China iAP)——Tlie The French high command an- nounced Sunday "orders have been received from Paris" to defend all of the vital Red river delta. A re- organization of the vast defence network is under way.

A high .c nd spokesman said the French would have all the neceuary means to defend the delta—key to military victory in face of any "human sea" attack that might be launched by the Communist-led Vietmlnh.

The announcement was made as land. air and naval reinforcements poured into or were on route to Indo-china from France.

The French believe that if the Vieimlnh with four divisions oom- lng from the smashed rrerieh Un- ion fartreae of Dien Bien Phu and with the 100.000 fighters already inside the delta. do not attack within the next two or three weeks. th_en ie probabilities are that there will be no big attack before October. I-‘ranch spokesmen eon- tend that unleu the Vletminh at- tacks quickly it will find it nearly impossible to mount an all-out as- sault in July or August because of heavy monsoon rains.
