Supporters of the Covenant have made it clear they are com- pletely loyal to the crown. How- ever. a small extreme group in Scotland desires to cut all ties with England. Between the two groups are other grades of Scot- tish nationalism.

R. E. Muirthead. of the Scottish Nationalist Secretariat at Glas- gow, told a reporter he had no knowledge of any plot. to steal the stone.

Nigel T1-ander. a Scottish Coven- ant leader, said:

venture may appear fool- ish und childish on the surface but it will have the effect down S011!-ii of focusing attention on Scotland's complaints. it takes a lot to get any news of Scotlands national existence into the Eng- lish press and this sort of thing is '.-he only type of home rule story that gets a break in the English newspapers."

Possibility of Prankstera

While the theft generally was believed to be the work of Scot- iis.-h extremists, the possibility re- mained ihat pranksters had re- moved thc stonc. ,

The stone. known to date back at least 1.100 years. measures 26- 1-2 by 16 1-2 by 11 inches. A large rectangle is roughly outlin- ed on the top. Legend says that the stone groans when a rightful sovereign sits on it. but remains silent beneath a conqueror.

England's Edward I brought the stone to Westminster in 1296 from the old Abbey of Scone in Perth- shire. where the ancient Scottish tkings were crowned. Once before the stone was moved from Wes- mlnster Atbbey. In 1857 it was taken to nearby Westminster Hall for the installation of Olivetr Cromrwell as Lord Protector.

Police surmised the thieves at- tended a Christmas eve service. concealed themselves in one of the royal chapels until the early morn- ing hours and then removed the stone.

Police were searching for A man and woman seen in a small auto near the Abbey.

the holy year here Sunday.

The Pope said that during the holy year scientific study has been oct.-npleted on the findings in the long-hidden Vatican grottos. un- derway for more than 10 years.

Tomb Ila, Been Found

"Dhis work." he said. "has had most fruitful and important re- sults. but the essential question is th s:

"Has the tomb of St. Peter really been found? To that quest- ion the answer is beyond all doubt;

"Yes. the tomb of the prince of the apostles has been found. Such

is the final conclusion after all the labor and study of these years."

Nearly two years ago. the Pope. addressing Rome students. told them that the burial place of the Apostle Peter "is and was under the cupoia of st. Peter's Church." Last June the Pontiff consecrated a central altar dedicated to st. Peter and located under the

cupoia. Since then there had been spec-

Some left for their homes by bus or car immediately. Others stayed at the hotel search-headquarters until this morning.

Ne Passenger Injured

Not one of the passengers was in- jured. but many still showed the effects of shcck and the nervous hours spentton the mountain side.

"I didn't know I was in a plane crash until I heard the trees snap- ping under us." Margaret wright of Vancouver told the Canadian Press.

The nose of the plane was splin- tered. and part of the wings and tail smashed. but the fuselage was intact.

"This gave us protection fmm the wind," said Miss Wright, who aided others in gathering fire wood and starting signal fires.

Torches of pine branches spotted the wrecked plane for air searchers early Saturday.

"We looked like a bunch of wild people carrying those burning branches." said Miss Wright.

The ground res-cue party. headed by Maj. Victor Wiiscn. fought through rain. snow and fog to reach the scene. An R.C.A. F. three-man para-rescue team -was already at the spot.

The survivors were sitting around a fire drinking tea and eating food rations dropped to them by para- chute.

- (ire of pine boughs at the wreck

Guided by the rescue trail-break- ers. the survivors started down the mountain. and when they reported safe at Pentictcn stretcher bearers brought out the bodies.

A rescue team of 20 men strug- gled over the rocky, wind-swept trail. ,

After covering two miles. an em- ergency call was put in for more men. called from a base camp by radio,

A message relayed via police ra- dio to Penticton for more volunteers and a radio broadcast appeal for men. brought new forces to the scene.

In an hour. 40 men reported and aided the rescue team. Nine men were assigned to each stretcher. Two followed to relieve the others when needed.

Mrs. J. Biackmer of Castiecar 13.0.. a nurse. was tho last of the 10 women passengers to leave. she stayed with First Officer Douccttc until he died. she administered blood plasma dropped by an R. C.- A. F. plane Saturday.

Low clouds and fog had prevent- ed a para-rescue surgeon from Ed- mcnton landing. Neither could a helicopter he landed at the wreck.

Doucette was semi-conscious most of the time. He suffered a broken pelvis. two broken legs, a broken arm and severe internal iniurics.

No Warning

Tile secret of what. forced the mountain-side landing rested with the two men who were killed. The passengers had no warning of dis- aster.

"It happened so fast. no one knew what was going on." said Fred Sadkinoff of Nelson, 13.0.

The holy year-which ended Sunday when the Pope closed the holy door in st. Peter's Basilica - "has left a profound mark on the life of the church." the Pope said.

The jubilee's end hem will mark its extension, as has been done in the Dust. to all the rest of the world for all of 1951.
