WILL THE POPE VISIT UNITED NATIONS?

V atican Officials Stay Silent

DOMINICAN NUNCIO MET POPE PAUL

By JAMES C. O'NEIL from VATICAN CITY.

Vatican City: Vatican officials are maintaining "absolute reserve" on a report that Pope Paul VI will go to the United States to make a peace appeal at the United Nations.

VATICAN CITY: ARCHBISHOP EMANUELE CLARIZIO, APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, WHO HAS BEEN A KEY NEGOTIATOR IN THAT COUNTRY'S POLITICAL UPHEAVAL, MET FOR ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF AN HOUR WITH THE HOLY FATHER AT THE VATICAN.

Unofficially, however, the possibility of such a trip is definite in connection with the UN's 20th anniversary.

The Archbishop carried a map with him as he went to see the Pope last week. There was no official announcement after the meeting, but presumably Archbishop Clarizio informed the Pope of the latest political events in the Dominican Republic and the attempts to form a stable government there.

IT WAS LEARNED UNOFFICIALLY THAT IF THE OURNEY IS MADE, THE POPE WOULD FLY, FOR J A QUICK VISIT AND BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER 14 OPENING OF THE FOURTH AND FINAL SESSION OF THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL OR SHORTLY AFTER ITS CONCLUSION.

RUMOURS NOT NEW Rumours of the trip are not new. It was thought in February that the Pontiff might go to New York to visit the United Nations during the time a conference on Pope John XXIII's encyclical, Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), was being held. This trip was said to have been cancelled because the U.N. was concluding its session and this fact made a journey unsuitable. However, observances marking the 20th anniversary of the U.N.'s existence offer the Pope a new opportunity. The Holy See has shown great appreciation of the U.N.'s efforts at preserving peace and of its many humanitarian projects.

PRINCIPAL FIGURE

HOLY SEE REPRESENTED The Holy ,See has named a permanent representative to the United Nations, Monsignor Alberto Giovannet ti, and the Pope has named Archbishop Martin J. O'Connor, American-born prelate who is president of the Pontifical Commission for the Communications Media, to attend anniversary ceremonies in San Francisco on June 26. Within the framework of the Holy See's constant interest in the progress of the United Nations and in the light of the Pope's repeated pronouncements on the Precarious state of the world's peace, it is held quite Possible that the Pontiff will avail himself of the anniversary to make a personal contribution with a brief visit to United Nations headquarters.

The 54-year-old Archbishop has been a principal figure in the Dominican struggle from the revolt's earliest days when he was asked by the Organisation of American States to ar range a cease-fire between the battling factions. He has kept Pope Paul informed of developments in the island republic. On May 5, shortly after the initial cease-fire was agreed upon, the Pope told a crowd in St. Peter's Square of the 'better news' he had received from Santo Domingo. Archbishop Clarizio wz•.; also associated with a joint pastoral letter by the bishops of the Dominican Republic which asked the opposing leaders to stop fighting and accept a provisional government headed by someone backed by both sides. The bishops' appeal has been rejected by the rebels and the military junta, which called it "interference on the part of the episcopate." The Archbishop arrived in Rome the day before the papal audience and was expected to stay about a week.

Pope's Medals

HOUSTON (U.S.A.): ASTRONAUTS James McDivitt and Edward White each carried on their four-day space flight special St. Christopher medals sent them by the late Pope John XXIII.

Struck especially for the purpose by order of Pope John, the medals have the image of the late Pontiff on one side. On the other is the traditional representation of the patron saint of travellers carrying Christ. Pope John quietly sent medals to the original 16 U.S. astronauts .shortly before his death two years ago, according to Julian Scheer, assistant administrator for public affairs at the space agency. Scheer said he believes that McDivitt. a Catholic, plans to give the medal he carried to Bishop John L. Morkovsky, of GalvestonHouston for presentation to Pope Paul VI. McDivitt's fellow astronaut, Edward White, attends Seabrook Methodist church here. White disclosed that he carried three religious objects with him on his historic "walk" in space—a St. Christopher medal, a gold cross, and a Star of David. "I think this is probably the most important thing I had going for me on the flight," he said.
