Pope Paul Seeks Final Session Of Vatican Council This Year
VATICAN CITY —(UPI)— Pope Paul VI is determined that the Ecumenical Council complete its work this year so he can begin carrying out its reforms, a Vatican source said today.
The source, who is in frequent contact with the pontiff, said the Pope
Zanzibar Quiet After Fighting
ZANZIBAR, —(UPI)— This revolt-torn Spice Island off the coast of East Africa was quiet today after a night without curfew during which only a few scattered shots were fired in the town of Zanzibar.
No serious incidents were reported during the night as armed mobile patrols and security forces stood guard in front of offices, banks and stores that were looted during the swift revolution that toppled the Arab regime of Sultan Seyyid Abdulla Bin Khalifa.
All shops were closed because most of their stock was looted during the first two nights of the revolt. But confidence was returning as it became apparent that the army had the twin islands of Pemba and Zanzibar under strict control.
Most citizens believe that the orgy of looting and extreme lawlessness was committed by a holloyng element which took advantage of the situation while the revolt was in progress.
While a number of supporters of the banned Zanzibar nationalist party have been asked to surrender their cars for use by the army, it was emphasized there would be no trouble if the requests were complied with swiftly.
"Field marshal" John Okello, a Kenyan who appeared to be in control of the military operations, said four members of the deposed regime had been sentenced to death and the rest to stiff prison terms. This report was denied by the new government.
Zoologist Writes Book On Spiders
Spiders, one of the important keys in nature's scheme of "eat and be eaten," are the subject of a 202-page bulletin published today by the KU Museum of Natural History.
The author is Henry S. Fitch, professor of zoology and superintendent of the KU Natural History Reservation. The book is the result of a decade of studies by Prof. Fitch.
The true abundance of spiders is little suspected by the public, Dr. Fitch notes. From 175 to 650 spiders per square yard is typical of densities on and in natural soils.
Spiders are great predators carnivorously feeding on other kinds of animal life. They, in turn, are important food for other organisms, thus attracting the attention of ecologists, such as Dr. Fitch, who study the relation of living things to one another.
On the 350 acres studied, including woods and grasslands, 192 species of spiders were found. They ranged in size from some having a body an inch long to others so small as to be barely visible to the naked eve.
Where spiders are abundant on croplands, they prey mostly on agricultural pests. Pref. Fitch found.

has told his aides he definitely wants the third session of the council to be its last.
Pope Paul expressed this hope in closing the second session last December. The third session is scheduled for Sept. 14 to Nov. 20.
THE POPE HOPES that changes in the council agenda and rules will speed up its work, the source said. The changes were made by the current pontiff and his predecessor, the late Pope John XXIII.
The latest change, designed to remove what liberal churchmen described as a conservative "bottleneck," was to raise the membership of each council commission to 30. The commissions serve as steering committees for the councils. Other modifications cut the number of items on the agenda and streamlined debate.
John XXIII called the council, a worldwide gathering of Roman Catholic Bishops, to bring the church in line with modern times and to seek Christian unity. After
three years of preparation, the first session was held in 1962.
So far the only documents given final approval by the council are decrees on liturgy and on modern communications media. The liturgical reform allows modern languages to substitute for Latin in sacraments and in most of the catholic mass.
LEFT UNFINISHED in the second session were documents on the nature of the church and on its Bishops, both of which would stress the role of Bishops in the government of the church while preserving the principle of papal primacy.
Still to be taken up are subjects ranging from Christian unity to the problems of the modern world.
Vatican sources have said the Pope feels the council should lay down only broad outlines of the church's stand on each issue. The Pope and various post-council commissions would have responsibility for detailed application.
Maintaining World Peace Military Assistance Goal
The military assistance program in Paraguay was discussed at the Faculty Forum yesterday by Col. Max Pitney, professor of military science at KU and former head of the Military Mission in Paraguay.
Col. Pitney said, "The purpose of the military assistance program is to furnish our allies with training and hardware that will contribute to the maintenance of world peace by enabling the military forces to maintain internal security and to resist outside aggression."
He said the emphasis in the program today is on "civic action," trying to get the local military forces interested in internal improvements in their country.
IN ANY country such as Paraguay, which accepts military assistance, Col. Pitney explained, there is a country team which directs this assistance. It is supervised by the Ambassador to the country, and includes the heads of the U.S. Aid Missions, U.S. Information Agency,
and the Military Mission to that nation.
"The work of the Military Mission is to go into units of that nation's armed forces and train with them, teaching our techniques, and how to use our weapons."
"Also, some of the men are sent to special schools in the Canal Zone, or in the United States," Col. Pitney said.
"IN PARAGUAY, the results have been good," he continued. "There are army units in the country which have been trained in medical aid... navigation aids... and communications." Col. Pitney said these units were proving extremely valuable to the country.
The four engineering battalions in the Paraguayan Army are building roads in different parts of the country, which are connecting major cities.
Col. Pitney feels that the people of Paraguay are strongly pro-United States and are not a target for outside aggression.
