Voice Shook
Only for an instant did the

with emotion as he gave his

message rang out clear and
strong to the crowds below.
They responded with a great
roar.
He stayed on the balcony
for five minutes, clad in pa-

Humphrey was meeting with
objections to certain seg-
ments of Kennedy's far-
reaching proposals.
Judge Scoggin said he has
been besieged by calls from
all over the country asking
about what custody arrange-
ments were made for the
children. But he has kept
mum, explaining: “I’m not
going to be a reporter for
anyone.”
There apparently is no le-
gal way the judge can be
compelled to make the rec-
ords public. Legal sources
at Boise, the state capitol,
said they know of no Idaho
law that would prohibit the
judge’s action.
Scoggin told a reporter
here, “To get access to the
records it would be neces-
sary for you to file a court
petition. I would consider it,
but you would have to have
reasonable grounds.”
He declined to say what
he would consider “reason-
able grounds.”

The chief stumbling bloc,
so far as the administration
was concerned, lay in Re-
publican opposition to a sec-

desegregation of privately-
owned stores, hotels, motels

GOP Reluctant
This provision apparent-

with 34 Democrats, among
the 43 backers of the pack-

People Flock
From every part of
Rome people came. Nuns
gathered up their skirts
and dashed in their black
habits across the cobble-
stones. Workmen left their
tools and hurried over from
an apartment construction
project four blocks from
the square.
Tourist buses, stopped by
police as far as 10 blocks
back by the Tiber, dis-
gorged excited visitors
from many lands.
They rushed past scores
of vendors who had been
selling color postcards of
the late Pope John XXIII
just Thursday. Friday they
sold 300-lire (50-cent) straw
hats for protection against
the sun. Many Romans
stopped just long enough to
buy one, then raced on
again.
Within half an hour the
vast square was nearly
filled and the crowd flowed
back into the broad Via
Della Conciliazione. Still
they came.
Crowd Roared
All eyes focused on the
dull grey balcony high
above the square. There
was no motion behind the
white-curtained glass
doors.
At last they opened and
the crowd roared. Alfre-

ior cardinal deacon,
