ISLE OF SKYE. Scotland (Reuters)-The tar - flung mem- ..era of the fabled Clan Macleod are coming ashore by the boat- load on this remote Scottish isle for ancient ceremonies marking theefcoming-of-age oi their future

Macleods from Canada, the United States and many other parts of the world are making the journey for a week-long party at Duuvegan Castle. stronghold of the clan for 700 years.

They are coming in response to an invitation from Dame Flora

On one occasion -they attended a concert by the Edinburgh City Police Pipe Band,as the special guests oi the Chief of Police and Pipe-major Donald Ramsay. it was here that they presented a letter of greetings to the Edin- burgh Chief of Police which they carried from Chief of Police C.W MacArthur of this City. On another occasion Heather and Tommy were the feature guests at Dun- iermlln, on the Andrew Carnegie Gala Day.

Despite the heavy schedule of instructions and public appear- ances they found ample time to visit some oi the points of interest seeing such places as Falkland Castle and Edinburgh Zoo. Mr. Burke father oi the couple last night said that in the short tim the travelers bad-been back in

Macleod, 78 - y e a r - old present chieftain of the clan, who has in- vited every Macleod here for the celebrations b e g i n n i n g next Saturday.

Dame Flora's heir is her grand- son. John, who to please his grandmother had his name changed officially several years ago from Gordon, his father's surname, to Macleod.

DRAIN BULL's HORN

According to the family's an- cient tradition he will have to prove himself a worthy future chieftain by draining an old bull's horn which holds nearly two bottles oi wine "without setting it down or falling down."

His clansmen will be watching -parched-to see that he empties the horn completely.

Several hundred guests also will see the clan's greatest treasure- the fairy flag which, according to legend. can save the clan only three times when it is in desper- ate need;

'slauders claim the flag already has done its job twice. The last time was in 1520 when the clan was attacked by the Macdonalds. The fairy flag was waved and the Macdonalds-who may have been somewhat bemused - saw what they thought was a large army descending upon them. They fled in disorder.

READY FOR. THIRD TEST

Dame Flora hopes the flag will use its, third magic spell to help her heir recover the family for- -tunes. ' "We want him to make a huge

tax come after my death," she said. "it is the hope of the clan that the flag will give him all the help he needs."

Dame Flora has in the past travelled to many parts of the world, including Canada, telling Macleods about their ancestral home, which is beginning to show its age and needs help.

The Canadian Macleods have a special interest in their future chieftaln. lie will be going to Can- ada in September to study at M- Gill Universkty.

Will Be Saunted

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) The Vatican newspaper Osserva- tore Romano says Pope Innocent. XI. repressor of nepotism and other corruption in the papal gov- ernment, probably will be beati- fied in October. .

The newspaper says the Con- gregation oi Sacred Rites recently verified and accepted as genuine two miraculous cures achieved by the intercession of Innocent XI. who reigned from 1676 to 1689.

The newspaper says these were the instantaneous and perfect cure of a lean nun at Lucca. in central Italy. who was suffering from cancer, and of a Roman man whose left leg was-being eaten away by a gangrenous ulcer.

The cause of beatification and eventual canonization of Innocent XI began during the reign of Pope Clemente XI. some 50 years ago.

On Conference Table . Not Battlefield

WASHINGTON (AP) - f . dent Eisenhower has A predicted that "good prevail" in the Suez crisis IH solution will be found ierence table instead battlefield.

Soon after making this at his press conference W day. Eisenhower met for hour with state Secretary Dulles to go over the further develop ment of United States policy and presumably size up the latest events abroad. '

These included the comment from the British foreign office that despite extensive British and French military concentrations in the Suez area Britain intends to settle the canal crisis by peace- ful means. '

POSITIONS MORE UNIFOBI That brought the British posi- tion much closer to that of the United States, on the record. It also is in line with the general attitude expressed by Bussii leaders. The Russians have argued that there is no issue fighting and that, in the end "so- ber statesmanshlp" will provail.':' I. Eisenhower said in response b one question that in making his Suez canal comments he had been "very careful" not to say that he was opposed to the use of mili- tary force under any circum- stances. l "I said," be then explained.
