The pope left for the Mass at the University of New Orleans a half-holate and was forced to use a car to get to the site instead of a White House helicopter that was waiting to take him. An estimated 150,000 worshippers huddled under umbrellas and plastic sheets. Before the pope arrived at a youth rally in the Superdome, more than 50,000 young people chanted "we want the pope, we want the pope" but the reception, when finally he appeared, seemed restrained.

Bork to the Supreme Court enters a new, crucial phase this week with Senate hearings focusing on some of the most divisive issues in American society. Abortion, pornography, the rights of women ad racial minorities, the relationship between religion and government, legal protection for criminal suspects and regulation of big business are among the topics likely to be discussed. The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings begin Tuesday and probably will last about two weeks. Bork is scheduled to be the committee's first witness, and likely will answer questions for at least two days. A Senate confirmation vote is not planned until October, after the high court has convened for its new term. The debate over Bork's nomination is expected to examine what influence he as a justice would exert on leading controversial issues of the day.

Instead, administration officials have portrayed him as a rightful heir to the man he would replace, retired Justice Lewis F. Powell. Whoever replaces Powell, often the pivotal vote in key cases, will have an opportunity to significantly change the balance of power between the court's liberal and conservative blocs. Bork, a federal appeals court-judgsince 1982 and before that an e outspoken law professor, has produced volumes of speeches, magazine articles and legal opinions that help illuminate his views. They also provide a ready target for opponents who hope to convince wavering senators that he is an extremist. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Republican expected to play a leading role in Bork's defense, said, "Judges are not politicians and ought not to be judged like politicians.

Without spelling out his quarrels with the peace plan signed by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and the leaders of four other countries on Aug. 5, Reagan sug- gested his concern is that the proposal contains no assurances that Soviet involvement in Nicaragua would be ended under terms of any cease-firagreement the Sandinistas reached with the Contra e rebels. In his weekly radio address, delivered from the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., Reagan noted the observance this coming week of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Constitution, saying it has "brought freedom and hope to so many millions" of people over the years. In that vein, he added, "We must seek to further its purpose, here at home, and all across the world." Reagan said the move toward democracy has been unprecedented in Latin America, where he said 90 percent of the people live under democratic systems. But Reagan singled out Nicaraguan's 3 million people as victims of a system of oppression. "Yet, for all the progress, one country, Nicaragua, and its 3 million inhabitants, have seen that dream trampled," the president said. Reagan put in another pitch for the $270 million in assistance that he said the administration will seek from Congress sometime after the current budget year ends on (See PEACE, Page 2) California fires rage on; others nearly contained Bv MARM McENTEE Associated Press Writer An uneasy BOISE, Idaho (AP) calm hangs over the nation's wild- ire COInman(j post as logistics speciaists wait for the next alarm Amera rea,esi firefihling mobilization ever.
