...world's largest Catholic State, although its 40,000,000 Catholics are shepherded by only 6,000 priests.* Bishop Ryan and Father Sheehy, looking businesslike to South American churchmen, who still wear their soutanes in the street, visited papal nuncios and hierarchs, talked with them in Italian and French, found everywhere that Latin American prelates look to the U.

The objectionable items, quoted from British newspapers, were: 1) that Hitler might have to undergo a second operation on his throat; and 2) that German troops were massing near the French and Italian borders.

He no longer selects or sizes (prepares with glue to make nonabsorbent) his own canvas but is fussy about its fineness and weave. His concentration, intensity, efficiency and command of his medium at work are legendary. But, while one painting may be finished in a day, another just like it will take 90 hours of work, spread...
