...needs of the people, and has had little brief for capitalism-at least the type of capitalism that Italy has long known. Said Fanfani in Catholicism, Protestantism and Capitalism, one of the 16 books he has written: "Capitalism requires such a dread of loss, such a forgetfulness of human brotherhood, such a certainty that a man's neighbor is merely a customer to be gained or a rival to be overthrown, and all these are inconceivable in the Catholic conception . . .

Died. Alfred Noyes, 77, right-bank English poet (The Highwayman), critic (Voltaire), philosopher ("God help us if we reach a stage in which our plumbing is perfect but in which the human soul atrophies"), novelist (The Devil Takes a Holiday), onetime (1914-23) professor of English literature at Princeton; on the Isle of Wight. The early commercial success of his verse was a sensitive point with Noyes, who abhorred the hack reputation, denied that he "had made poetry pay."
