JV YORK -- As uncertainty about the fate o Prime Minister Aldo More continued, Pope Paul VI for the second time In two days voiced the hope Sunday first the Red Brigades would spare Moro's €. Hope that Moro, whom the ultraleftist underground | organizafi¢n | kidnapped | 37 fH\ alive was also ex- Christian Democratic Party. A deadline for Moro's \execution\ that his abductors had set Thursday expired at 3 p.m., Saturday. Since then, there has been no new com- mun'cation from the clandestine network that had earlier announced it was holding the 61-year-old former prime minister in a \'people's prison\ and had passed a \death genience\ against him. Amid deepening anguish the authorities were speculating Sunday what the Red Brigades would do next. No Deal Urged Editorials in Sunday's newspapers from the moderate Corriere Della Sera of Milan to the\ Communist Party publication L'Unita of Rome again urged the govern- ment.to stand by its earlier decision not to seek a deal with the terrorists to save Moro's life. The leader of the Communist Party, Enrico Berlinguer, later Sunday warned against any negotiations with the Red Brigades in a speech in Florence. Yet there was widespread feeling here that the extremist organization was still dictating the course of events while the government, the police and the entire state machinery were awaiting its next move. Investigators suggested that the Red Brigades were engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities, in the hope that strains within Ialy's national leadership would increase and the people's trust in it would further diminish, Prime Minister Giullo Andreottl, asked by news reporters whether there had been any new developments, said glumly: 'None that 1 am aware of.\ Reports Denied More's secretary, Nicola Rana, denied reports in some newspapers Sunday that the family of the former prime minister had been in touch with a lawyer who had acted as defense counsel for members of the Red Brigades, or had opened negotia- tions with the underground group through other channels. At the Christian Democratic head quarters in Rome's center, the secretary of the party, Benigno Zaccagnini, recalled in a statement that an \instrument\ for con- veying news about the fate of Moro and \possible ways of obtaining his liberation\ had been chosen - the Roman Catholic charitable organization, Caritas. But Sunday afternoon there had been \no signal,\ declared, Caritas kept telephones staffed around the clock all Sunday, both at ite world headquarters in Freiburg, West Germany and at its Rome offices. By naming the charitable group as a possible vehicle for contacts with the Red Brigades, the Christian Democratic Party, which More heads, had yielded to the en- treaties by Mord's wife and children and by some prominent Christian Democrats and members of other parties, However, government officials insisted that the Caritas connection did not mean readiness to negotate with the terrorists. bike Sunday a Courler-Exgress/Bob Bukaly Larry Johnson, center, acts as walking tour gulde with downtown Buffalo in the buckgroufid ... to kick off Buffalo is a Beautiful Place Weel City Enjoys 'Beautiful Week By TIM MURRAY Courler-Express Staff Reporter DOWNTOWN BUFFALO was a beautiful place to be Sunday as several tours and exhibits kicked off Buffalo is a Beautiful Place Week. | : 209 A walking tour, sponsored by the Scoiety of Architectural Historians, Western New York chapter, wound through downtown from the Shoreline housing complex on Niagara Street to the Old Post Office at Swan and Ellicott.
