...newsman has described the delicate and complex situation with more insight than Reporter Gibney, a LIFE staff writer. With authority, humor, and political sophistication, Gibney describes how paradox has become a law of life in a country where a dedicated Communist (Premier Gomulka) collaborates with a dedicated Catholic (Cardinal Wyszynski) to check both hothead Marxists and anti-Marxists. The result, reports Gibney, can sometimes be as bewildering as that wondrous two-headed animal of Hugh Lofting's Dr. Dolittle stories, the "Push-me Pull...

Peasants, assured by the government that there will be no forced collectivization, are expanding their holdings under a new government scheme that allows farmers to buy state land at low cost.

Of the Iron Curtain cardinals, only Poland's Wyszynski seemed likely to come to Rome. Hungary's Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, living in the American legation in Budapest, and Yugoslavia's Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac, ailing and confined to his village, almost surely cannot attend. Other doubtful participants: France's Georges Cardinal Grente, 86, and Chile's Jose...
