The papal visit presents each city with its special problem. For Boston, it is trying to move the crowds in and out of Boston Common, the oldest park in the United States that sits in the middle of the city. For New York, it is the sheer size of the city, and the ambitious plans that only the Big Apple could dream up in inviting the Pope to all the old familiar places — the Battery, Madison Square Garden, St. Pat rick’s Cathedral, Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Shea Stadium in Queens, with stopoffs in Harlem and the devastated south Bronx. For Philadelphia, it is controlling the traffic flow into the City of Brotherly Love that promises to block every expressway in town. For Washington, it is the sheer size of the crowd — forecast at 1 million — for the Pope’s mass at the Mall. For Chicago, with the biggest Polish population outside Warsaw, it is the prospect of another million jammed into Grant Park, and the worry that their weight might cave in the top of the cavernous parking garage underneath. ade nation's main worry? oung leaves job at U.N. And for Des Moines, it is the shock of being in the international spotlight and the realization that the city is going to be inundated with Middle Westerners traveling by plane, train, bus, auto and camper. Who is paying for all this? If you are a practicing Catholic in any of the six cities, you probably will be asked to help pick up the tab for any of the religious ceremonies. Since the pope is a head of state, the cost of protection and crowd control goes to the taxpayer. Law suits in Philadelphia, Washington and Boston were contesting various interpretations of this, but none of them appeared likely to affect the pope’s visit. Most hotels and motels were booked up within a wide radius of the six cities. is here! It’s the New Fraternity on Campus for the First Rate Men of Texas A&M.

Meanwhile, 40 million gallons of artially treated sewage continues • flow daily into the bay from a mal- nctioning $150 million San Jose- anta Clara treatment plant, which erves 1 million people. The plant employs zoogleal bac- •ria in its huge aeration tanks to ump organic material together for •paration in subsequent stages of eatment. But early this month the bacterial lance was disturbed and filament- us bacteria took over, said plant •ngineer Frank Belick. When the paration process failed, the filters logged.

Bruce Llewellyn, who made the trip with Young as president of the Overseas Private Investment Cor poration, said every new $1 billion worth of business would create 30,000 to 40,000 jobs in the United States. Afterwards, Young held his farewell news conference as U.N. ambassador, saying he and five long-time friends may form a non profit consulting firm to create polit ical and economic contacts in foreign countries. He focused the news conference on trade issues, declining to answer most other questions. “I don’t think we re nearly in as much jeopardy from the Russians as we are from some of our economic competitors. We are much more se cure militarily in this world and able to face off any military challenge. We are not quite secure enough to face off a wide variety of economic challenges coming to us from all sides.” MONDAY NITE FOOTBALL Cowboys vs Browns HAPPY HOUR 4:30-6:30 MON.-FRIDAY -.
