...always, the Vatican is a hot campaign issue; this time, Pope John has made it hotter than usual by meeting Aleksei Adzhubei, Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin. Fortnight ago, the Communist newspaper L'Unita exaggerated Pope John's recent Pacem in Terris encyclical as "an appeal for peace based on nuclear disarmament." This prompted a pro-government newspaper to crack that the Reds were suddenly "more papist than the Pope." In fact, the Vatican is quietly backing Fanfani's Christian Democratic-Socialist partnership, though publicly...
...words from the Red world were equally warm. Moscow's Izvestia, whose Editor Aleksei Adzhubei visited Pope John in March, made it clear that the encyclical met with favor in the Kremlin. Without waiting for guidance from Moscow, leaders of Communist parties in Italy, Belgium and France hailed the peace-loving tone of Pacem in Terris; Paris' L'Humanité called it a major step toward unity of action for peace, and Poland's Zycie Warszawy heralded it as an encyclical of "peaceful coexistence." These appraisals shrugged off the letter's strong rejection of totalitarianism...
...issue of Government-managed news still a hot one, he began his talk with the greeting "Fellow managing editors." In mock-somber tones and with almost professional timing, the President went on to describe the discovery of a serious new Soviet threat.

...Proposes . . ." After other newsmen left, Adzhubei and Rada were ushered into the papal library, there spent 18 minutes alone with John and his interpreter. Adzhubei told the Pope that he was known and admired in Russia as a fighter for peace. John answered that he was only doing God's will. The Pope recalled his own journeys through the Balkans as a Vatican diplomat. Adzhubei apparently gave the Pope a personal message from Khrushchev, who had instructed the Russian members of the Balzan Foundation to vote the Peace Prize to John, and had sent word that he was delighted...
...will-and may well establish formal diplomatic relations with Moscow some day. Last week, L'Osservatore Romano front-paged a theoretical article, written by Msgr. Cardinale, on the general necessity of consular relationships between sovereign states. Asked at a Rome press conference about exchanging consuls with the Vatican, Adzhubei certified that it was "a good idea." Another reporter wondered if Father-in-Law Nikita, who may visit Rome later in the year, would also call on the Pope. Atheist Adzhubei, who earlier had noted that "the Pope does not bite,'' shrugged, and quoted in answer the 15th...
