BODY LIES IN STATE
Nine Dahys OIMourningTo Begin Today For ThePope
OASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy The body of Pope Pius XII lay in state Thursday night. to be seen by the faithful of this small town where he died Thursday morning.
A crowd of 15,000 men, women and children pushed through the main square of Castel Gandolfo and began filtering at dusk through the doors of the pontifi- cal Summer palace.
Inside. Swiss Guards in blue, red and orange uniforms sought to channel the great throng into a narrow column going up the main marble stairway toward the Swiss hall on the top floor of the tom-storey building.
The embalmed body of the pon- tiff lay dressed in white and red an a platform covered with red silk. A film of cellophane was stretched over the body.
The body was guarded by noble guards of the pontifical court in 18th~ceutury uniforms.
Nine days of formal Vatican mourning, known as the Noven- diali, start today When the pon- tiltf’u body will be brought to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Each of the t1 cardinals pres- ent in Rome knelt and prayed one by one at the Pope's bedside Tlnrrsday morning before going to theVatticanfiorthefirstoftheir daily “congregations”. They are in charge of preparations for the electionot anewPopeinlstom days.
The new pontiff will be chosen by the 55 cardinals in the Sacred College.
SELECT CHAMBERLAIN
As cardinals in other parts of the world hurried to Rome, those already here selected 8 chamber- lain to be interim head of the church pending the papal elec- tion. Their choice was 79-year-old Benedetto Aloiisi Cardinal Mas- ella, prefect of the Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacra- ments.
The public viewing of the body was delayed two hours because the embalrning had not been com- pleted. _

Vatican Radio annoim‘ced the death of Pius — “the most es- teemed and venerated man in the worl "—at 3:56 am. (that? p.m. Wedrfisday night ADT).
Four minutes earlier. as the stars twinldled over the dark Al- ban bills. the pontiff, spiritual leader of 500,000,000 Catholics, breathed his last.
Weeping doctors and dhurclh ad- visers surrounded the frail old man, born Eugenio Pacelli, who had suffered two strokes in 48 hours. He had devoted his entire life and energies to the church, even up to the moment he lost consolausness.
BEAM WORD T0 WORLD

“Whether our troops stop or do not stop their bombardment of Quemoy and whether they stop it for a short or a long period, those are purely internal matters of our coutry which the Americans have no right whatever to look in .”

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP) The Western powers Thursday night were reported ready to call for a moratorium on nuclear wea- pons tests pending a possible final settlement at Geneva next month.
Britain and the United States worked Thursday night on putting into final wording a resolution for the UN Assembly’s political com. mittee which would give encour- agement to the Geneva talks ho ginning Oct. 31 among ambassa- dors of Britain. the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
It was understood that the reso- lution, which Canada is believed ready to co-sponsor, would have the UN offer the good offices of Secretary - General Dag Ham- markjold in furthering the Gen- eva talks. Meanwhile, the big three atomic powers would press agreement here to suspend nuclear testing until some accept- able solution to this key disarma- ment problem is reached at Gen- eva.

By JOHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (OP)——The Board of Transport Commissioners Thurs- day reserved judgment on an ap- plication by Canadian railways for a lspercent freight rate in-
wage settlement with their em- ployees.
Seven hours before hearings ended, eight opposing provincial governments asked the cabinet to order the board to “desist from further hearings" on the $60,000,- 000-a-year application.
The provinces -— all except 0n- tario and Quebec—also gave not- ice that, should the board grant the increase sought by the rail- ways, they will file a new peti- tion asking that it he rescinded by the cabinet.
The four-day hearing ended be- fore the board after Canada's two major railways war‘ned that a countrywide rail strike will occur if they do not receive a freight rate increase to cover the cost of the wage settlement.
TO PAY WAGE INCREASE
The railways are seeking the rate boost to pay the cost of a wage increase for non-operating employees recommended by a, federal board of conciliation. They have said they will pay the higher wages ‘if they get the freight rate boost.
The 130,000 non—operating rail- way employees have accepted the conciliation board recommenda- tion amounting to about'li cents an hour. They are threatening a strike if they do not get the in- crease. ; ,
CNR counsel Gordon Ford told the board granting anything less than the 19-per-cent increase in rates would “fail to justify the

tion award.” Rejection of the rail way application by the board “means a national rail strike.”
The provincial petition to cah- lnet said the railway bid for higher rates should be rejected because:
I. It was “premature and an- ticipatory” in that the railways have neither paid out nor con- tracted to pay out wage boosts.
2. The transport board was be- ing placed in the position of a la— bor conciliation body.
3. The application based upon anticipated wage costs, “improp- erly seeks to transfer to the board a function of railway manage- ment."
4. Under these circumstances the board had no jurisdiction to‘ hear the application.
STRIKE IS POSSIBLE
CPR counsel Ian Sinclair raid the railways labor situation is in a “crisis.” A nationwide strike would occur very shortly if the railway were unable to obtain suf~ ficient revenue to pay the in. creases demanded by employees.
Mr. Sinclair said provinces op- posed the application but made no suggestion as to where the .raih ways could raise the money. They merely said “go elsewhere."
Arthur V. Mauro. counsel for Manitoba, said the rail-wayshavo told the board in unmistakeable language that if they don’t get the rate increase they will not pay the wage increase.
“No settlement of the wage dis~ pute means a national strike." he said.
Frank D. Smith of Halifax. reo- resenting the four Atlantic prov- inces, said the boost would place an “intolerable burden on these provinces, on their producers, shippers, manufacturers and con-

FREDERCTION —- (CPI -— A new spirit of Canadian national- ism was noted here Thursday by Prime Minister Diefenbaker, ad- dressing the fall convocation ex- ercises at the University of New Brunswick.
The Prime Minister. one of four men awarded honorary degrees Thursday, stressed the dual roles of loyalty and public service, and said that universities had a major part to play in building the na- tion.
He saw Canadians attaining a new loyalty, unfettered by racial origins, and declared that free- dom and the opportunity for ser- vice were major cornerstones in the new structure.
Mr. Diefenbaker received an honorary degree of doctor of

As a projection of this concept. he announced that Canada had decided to participate with other NATO countries in a program of international fellowships, where- by students would go abroad for scientific studies.
Canada‘s contribution would only be $40,000 this year. Mr. Diefenbaker said, but this amount would be increased by several times as the program progressed.
aided the progress of communism more than any other single fac- tor, Mr. Diefenbaker felt, and. he said that an increase in edu- cational opportunities and intern est in public service would help do away with this.
Stressed the important role of universities in building ctizenship, he said there were many oppor- tunities for service in Canada. In the Maritime Provinces, oppor- tunities were comensuratc with the abilities of the residents. He noted that about half the mem- bers of parliament and more than 10,000 civil servants were univer- sity graduates.
As an example of one who had contributed much to Canada, to the commonwealth and to the
cause of freedom, he pointed to Lord Beoverbrook, chancdlor o!
