The Pontiff, with his entourage, proceeded by motorcade 19 Yankee Stadium where he celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for a crowd exceeding 90,000 per-Sons. After a tour of the Vatican Pavilion at the World's Fair, Pope Paul returned to Rome. Before the Pope departed from Rome, he spoke at the Fiumicino Airport of the imperative need for a lasting world peace. In recalling the horrors of the two World Wars of this century, the Pope said that the world must _ now demand a stable peace, "through fair and courageous negotiations." With peace as his sole aim, the Pope .came to this country to encourage and bless the nations of the world united in the struggle for everlasting peace.
