When nine priests disguised as fishermen slipped from Spain over the Bay of Biscay to France last week and talked to correspondents, out went such headlines as SIX HUNDRED PRIESTS AND NUNS SLAIN BY ANARCHISTS. There was also the one about the 82-year-old Archbishop of Valladolid killed by a firing squad with his arms tied around the neck of a statue of the Virgin Mary fortnight ago.
