2.. CARDINAL'> L.T.-DELCO. FRIDAY, OCT. 24, 1958 (Given by Walter Cronkite, L.T.in So.Pacific) Today a jeweler in Rome was busy polishing - a crown that weighs three pounds, and is valued at twelve thousand dollars. It•s worth a lot more than that, though - because it•s the triple crown of the Popes. And the next man to wear it will be - the successor to Plue the Twelfth. At the same tiM, a tailor is standing by - with an assortment or papal robee. The tailor has large robes, medium robes, and 8111.11 robea, •n hand. He 1 a fJ/t'~oae the right one - for the new Pontltt. As tor the candidates, they're ready to enter the Sistine Chapel t011orrow. Fifty-two cardinals, who will elect the next Pope. Around the vatic~, speculation has narrowed down to three candidates - two Italians and one A1'119nian. They are, cardinal Roncall1, Archbishop of Venice - Cardinal Massella the Papal Chamberlain - and cardinal Agagan1an, patriarch or the Armenians. But if these are the favorites, it's pointed out that a favorite hardly ever gets elected. In an old Roman saying_ "The man who enters the conclave a Pope - comes out a cardinal." NIXON Vice-President Hixon was on a familiar stamping ground The today - a university campus. t • Vice-President likes to talk to under-graduates -- so he was right at home, when he rode into the University or Wisconsin, at Madison.

SOlll9 ae11bers ot his audience hoisted signs with anti-Republican slogans - like "Halt the Poraao1a war crisis." Noting the signs, Mr. Nixon remarked: "I've been Bk heckled by experts in South America." And that reference to his South American tour - drew a cheer, even from the hecklers. ' UNEMPLOYMENT A government report shows that unemployment declined - in the week ending October Eleventh. There were ninety-seven thousand fewer Americans - claiming unemployment compensation. That leaves the figure or those still claiming coapenaation - - - at around two million, two hundred and thirty-five thousand • ..,._..., The decrease ~ partly due to the tact that soae wodcera exhausted their cla1• to c011P9naation. But it wu also partly due to more Jobs in auto plants, clothing tactoriea, and coal mines. The ca•e-in ot a ■ in• in Sprin1bill, •ova ~ootia - has beoo■e one of the worst tragediea of reoent 1ear1.
