Pittsburgh
Surprised Over
Lawrence Move
PITTSBURGH, March 3 (JP)—
The most immediate reaction in
Pittsburgh today to the slating of
Mayor David L. Lawrence for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomi
nation was a gasp of surprise.
• An aide at the mayor’s office in
city hall could only mumble "it’s
a surprise here. We have no im
mediate comment.”
- The Lawrence candidacy raised
the question of a fight in the May
20 primary election since Li, Gov.
Roy E. Furman insists he is in the
gubernatorial race to stay.
Furman, reached at Easton
where he attended a testimonial
tor U.S, Rep. Francis E. Walter
(D.-Pa.), said thp Lawrence can
didacy doesn’t change his plans.
Coroner William D. McClelland
of Allegheny County told a news
man that the Lawrence develop
ment has not deterred his guber
natorial ambitions. He said he
would continue the circulation o 2
nomination petitions in his behalf.
Mayor Richardson Dilworth of
Philadelphia told reporters after
wards that he was “pleased” with
the Leadv-Lawrence slate.
Lawrence said he would not re
sign as mayor of Pittsburgh to
make the race.
West, Reds Deadlocked
On Stoien Plane Issue
PANMUNJOM, Korea, March
3 (JP) —A meeting of Allied and
Communist representatives end
ed in deadlock tonight on the
question of returning 34 occupants
of a plane held in Red North
Korea.
The U.N. Command charged
the Communists with holding the
occupants, including two Ameri
can pilots and two Germans as
hostages for political purposes.
Supreme Court
Racial 'Massive
WASHINGTON, March 3(/P)
—The Supreme Court dealt
another setback today to Vir
ginia’s program of “massive
resistance” to any racial inte
gration.in its public schools.
In the most routine way possi
ble, the high court refused in a
order to review an anti
racial discrimination decision of
the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals which Virginia said
would result in closing all pub
lic schools in Prince Edward
County.
That decision directed U.S. DisL

immediately endorsed Lawrence’s candidacy and announced
ig for the U.S. Senate with organization support.
Democratic slatemakers also
chose Miss Genevieve Blatt, Pitts-'
burgh, as their candidate for a
second term as internal affairs'
secretary.
The 5-hour, close-door session
! failed to produce a decision on
> the lieutenant governorship but
I that post was reportedly left
I open for a Philadelphia Demo
crat recommended by U.S. Rep.
William J. Green Jr., city Dem
ocratic chairman.
I The entire ticket will be placed'
before the full 62-member Demo-'
cratic Policy Committee on Wed-!
nesday—with routine endorse
ment expected.
Lawrence’s name came as a!
compromise after Leader lost outj
in efforts to gain organization
backing for the gubernatorial as
pirations of Mayor Richardson
Dilworth of Philadelphia.
It was considered at least a
partial victory for Leader since
the governor said in advance
that he wouldn't run for the
U.S. Senate unless the slate
makers chose the gubernatorial
candidate from a list of our so
called "good government" can
didates.
The Pittsburgh mayor was on
the list as were Dilworth. Atty.
Gen. Thomas D. Mcßride and
Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.).
Lawrence, Democratic national j
committeeman, former secretary i
of the Commonwealth and active!
Roman Catholic layman, said he!
planned “a vigorous statewide
campaign'* for governor.

Educators Say
TV Effective
In Classroom
; CHICAGO, March 3 (.-TV--Tele
vision has invaded the classroom,
land two educators reported today
;it is very effective in teaching.
| Leslie P. Greenhill of Pennsyl
vania State University and Fran
cis A. Gaul of Chicago City Jun
iior College, agreed classroom TV
ihas drawbacks. But they also
[agreed it has rich rewards—for
istudent, school and teacher.
[ The two men led a discussion
igrouD at the National Conference
on High Education.
i Greenhill said a series of more
than 100 tests run over the three
year period showed no signifi
cant differences in effectiveness
between televised and direct in
struction.
Earlier this year, he said, 3000
students in eight TV courses were
asked what they thought of tele
vision as a means of Handling
courses with large enrollments.
Nearly 80 per cent called it very
good or fairly good.
Greenhill said a careful cost
accounting was made last year on
Tour well-established courses at
iPenn State. The analysis showed
a savings of almost $40.000-—al
most enough to pay for the cost
I of the TV system, even if it were
not being used for other courses.

PopeCancelsCelebration;
Conviction Outrage Cited
VATICAN CITY, March 3 (,?)—Pope Pius XII today
canceled the March 12 anniversary celebration of his coro
nation. A communique said he acted because of "the present
condition of bitterness, sadness and outrage" over the con
viction of a bishop in an Italian court.
The action was without precedent in Vatican history.
It demonstrated dramatically
the Pope’s and the Roman Cath
olic Church’s concern over the
conviction Saturday by a Florence
court of the bishop of. Prato.
The 42-year-old bishop. Pie
tro Fiordelli, v?as found guilty
: on a charge of defamation. The
I charge was brought by Mario
j Bellandi, 32-year-old grocer of
I Prato, and his 23-year-old wife.
Loriana, who were married in a
civil ceremony. Civil weddings
are legal in Italy.
The bishop had called them
“public sinners” because they re
fused a church wedding.
Bellandi. a former Communist,
was described by his attorney as
an atheist.
Communists and some others
have taken up the case as a po
litical issue, claiming it shows
Vatican dominance in Italian af
fairs.
The communique announcing
the cancellation, published by
the L'Osservalor Romano, said
the Pope had received expres
sions of sorrow over the verdict
from many parts of the world.
It said the Pope decided to take,
the action ‘in the present condi
tion of bitterness, sadness and
outrage committeed in Italy
against the Church.”
| The court awarded the Prato
grocer and his wife $672 dam
ages, but suspended a $64 fine.
