Unless Premier Viacheslav Molotov pulls a dove out of his hat addressing a session of the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union this week (an unlikely possibility), the last phase of the peace drive petered to a close last week at Castel Gandolfo, Italy.

...Fascists thought that by muzzling Catholic Action they had washed up ''any conflict or dissension between State and Church"-Mussolini's spokesman Virginio Gayda immediately so declared-they were sadly mistaken. On Sunday the Pope walked alone out of his summer villa at Castel Gandolfo (something he had never done before), delivered a vigorous impromptu address to missionary students summering nearby.
