Pope Paul VI ls Welcomed

By Mighty Bombay Throng

BOMBAY lAPt — A mightyl throng gave Pope Paul VI an awesome welcome to India Wed-t nesday. The crush of people. 1.000.000 or more. at times en- gulfed his car on the drive downtown from the airport.

There was none of the hostil- ity police had feared. About 250“ members of fanatic Hindu or- ganizations had been jailed last weekend after,threatening dem- onstrations.

The Pope. as one of his first acts in India. asked that they be freed. ‘ Airs. indii'a Gandhi. ministeri of‘information and daughter of] the late prime minister Jawa-' bsrlal Nehru. assured him: "They already have been re- leased." 9

{'Then tell them i am pre-t' pared to take them by the hand! and treat them with affection. and cordlality," the Pope res- ponded.

JOURNEY OF PEACE

Pope Paul told a restricted crowd of about 8.000 at the air- port he had come on "a journey of peace and love. of friendship and brotherliness."

As far as the eyc could see.

people jammed around the air- port—the lame. the poor. the outcasts.

Police estimated at least 100.- 000 were at the airport and an-

0 er . 1.000.000 or more were along the route from airport to the city

So vast were the crowds it took ltd hours for the Pope‘s limousine to go the 13 miles from "the airport to the oval in downtown Bombay. where he will attend the 13th Interna- tional Eucharistic Congress.

This was the lure that led the Pope to undertake the longest mission in papal history. afllght of about 4.000 miles from Rome to this ancient city.
