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."

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.

From there. trucks transported them 21 miles south to Penticton. 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.

Sat- urday. the Pope said "the remains of human bones" had been found at the side of the tomb. but that it "is impossible to prove with certainty that they belong to the bodv of the Apostle." 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. Card 9: Thanks Mrs. Dougnid P.
