...related, the incident concerns a visit known to have been paid to the Holy Father by one of his nieces and her husband, on the day before the recent Italo-Papal Treaty, Concordat and Financial Agreement was signed (TIME, Feb. 18). Such was the iron efficacy of Dictator Benito Mussolini's censorship that the Italian press had not yet printed a single word of what was to occur.

Thus San Franciscans might well object to the omission of John Drum, head of American Trust Co., now, after many mergers, San Francisco's large independent bank ($273,776,849 in deposits). Like Giannini, Mr. Drum is a Papal Knight. He is most famed for his starry-domed marble bungalow atop the Fairmont Hotel atop Nob Hill. Notable also is able Frank B. Anderson, board chairman of Bank of California; his chief idiosyncrasy, a fondness for donkeys. Paul Shoup, President of Southern Pacific Co. also stands high among...
