"displeased" that  his experience
had been revealed to thc world.
"It is well to make clear that
thc holy father demonstrated himself to bc displeased hy the indiscretion, even though, doubtless, tt
was done with good Intentions,"
says rOsscrvalore.
The rcport of the Pope's vision
was first published by the Milan
weekly, Oggi, last monlh. The
Vatican press office on Nov. 21
said the account was true. But the
Vatican City newspaper had kept
silent until Saturday.
The paper says that because of
"uncertainties and inexact suppositions" it was printing "thc
precise exposition of the truth, as
we have received it from one uf
the very few devoted collaborators,
who in that December, daily ap-
proauhod the Pontiff."
Vatican sources believe thc -n-
formanl was Msgr, Angelo Dell'Ac-
says the newspaper,
the Oggi story was published he
felt it was his duty to bring his
account to thc attention of the
Pontiff who "confirmed the veracity of the notes." L'Osscrvatore
says lis informant had recorded
the event thus under the heading
of "Audience of Dec. 2, 1954."
"Having entered thc chamber of
thc holy father at about 6 o'clock,
Dec. 2, the visitor had scarcely
formulated, genuflecting his morning greeting, when, as thc only
response he heard thc holy father
exclaim, 'this morning 1 $wf the
Lord.'
"The Pontiff then added that on
thc preceding day he had heard a
voice most clearly and dlstinc'ly
announce: 'A vision will come.'
That morning (of the vision) white
he was repeating thc Invocation of
(Anima Christi* (Soul of Christ)—
'in hora mortis meac voca mc' (in
vocat tc' (the Teacher is present
and calls thee) and, immediately,
therefore, had added thc following
verse of the sanfe 'Arima Christ;'
prayer: 'ct Jube me venire ad
Te' (order mc to come to You;."
The newspaper says Its informant stated the Pope gave thc account "with admirable presence
and freshness of spirit.'1 No onc
was present at thc time of the re
ported vision, he said, though i
few persons were in an adjoining
room.
It was on that night lhat thc
Pope reached the climax of his
Ulncs and many despaired of his
life. However, he rapidly recovered
thereafter.
L'Osservatore says the vision, as
reported by its Informant, "did not
so much intend to signify tho complete disappearance of thc illness ... as the invincible force
needed to overcome the most
anguished difficulty, which had not
yet occurred."

MONTREAL-CP—This violence-shaken city nursed
its second riot hangover of 1955 Saturday, while citizens
pondered how a students' protest parade broke into a wild
rampage.
Assistant Police Director Alfred
Belanger said Friday night's riot
was the worst he has seen in volatile Montreal since the anti-conscription outbreak of 1917. Belanger held 700 men ready to crack
any further demonstrations.
A three-hour procession of suspects appeared before a municipal

LONG TOW

3200 Miles Through j

VANCOUVER (CPJ—The end of
a long, long voyage and a S30O.OOO

the Victoria-based tug Sudbury.

Possibly the most critical moment in the voyage was a stormy
night soulh of the Aleutians when
the Makedonia's anchor chain, attached to thc Sudbury's towline,
snapped.
Quartermaster Alan Burton was
at the wheel.
The force of the gale was so
great that the Makedonia, riding
empty and high out of the water,
yawed violently "and shook the
Sudbury like a rat," Burton said.
