Typical are the above quotes from A Reporter At The Papal Court by Thomas B. Morgan (Longmans, Green, $3) published last week. As might be guessed, fact is that no other correspondent has ever combined such a keen American nose for newsy Papal intimacies with such a respectful Roman nose for bowing reverence to the Holy Apostolic Roman Catholic Church. It is a credit to the intelligence of the Holy See that Mr. Morgan was granted in 1929 what was then the first and is still the only exclusive interview ever given to a journalist by Pius...
...ring. . . . The Pope has surrendered to the use of the fountain pen for signing all his documents, although he unfailingly dips the pen into the inkwell before applying it to the paper. . . .

Stupid Democracies. No small feather in the Führer's bonnet this year was the attendance of virtually the entire Berlin diplomatic corps for a 48-hour flying visit to the Party Congress-hitherto boycotted by democratic diplomats. Noticeable absentees last week, however, were the Papal Nuncio, the Soviet Ambassador. Conspicuous among the foreign envoys were sad-eyed Prentiss Bailey Gilbert, U. S. Charge d'Affaires (who attended over the vehement protest of his chief, vacationing Ambassador to Germany William E. Dodd), who is expected soon to resign, Sir Nevile Meyrick Henderson, British Ambassador, and Andr...
