...glad to have Gronchi as a guest in the Kremlin. Gronchi was willing, but not all Italians cheered. The Vatican Radio gave pointed prominence to an article in La Civilta Cattolica that said that "the cold war cannot be solved by smiles and handshakes."'

The National Shrine is 459 ft. at its longest point and 240 at its widest, has a capacity of 6,000 people. The $250,000 organ is a memorial to deceased chaplains and members of the U.S. armed forces.

The two men are no longer on speaking terms-and the party's indebtedness continues to spiral upward. The sleek party house organ, Democratic Digest, continues to pile up a $70,000-$80,000 annual deficit; rental for the committee's commodious offices amounts to $2,820 per month, and the 80-man staff draws down some $440,000 in annual salaries. Butler maintains a $350-a-month Washington apartment...
