Of Eastern Europe.

be solidly established as a fact that the Soviet government, through its ambassador in Rome, Kostylev, has

? posals to t he Vatican for coe

between Moscow and the Holy See in the solution of eastern Europe's post - war social "a n d religious problems. The proposals * are understood to Mr. Stoneman suggest a direct official exchange of views between the Kremlin and the Holy See on post-war problems in Poland and Czechoslovakia, t w o important countries’ which, while predomine antly Catholic, are linked geos graphically and by political and economic considerations to the Soviet Union. There is no news of the Vatican’s reaction to the suggestion.

Rumors Heard for Years

Rumors of Soviet-Vatican rap{prochement have been going around the capitals “of "Europe tor- “years and it is possible that on several occasions something of the kind was being considered. Such rumors were persistent in Rome in 1928, long before Moscow showed any sign of being anything but officially and wholeheartedly atheistic. It is probably fair to say that the Vatican has been far more hesitant than the Soviet about undertaking to reach a concordat or some similar working arrangement, Nor will the most fervent supporter of the. Soviet government deny that the Kremlin, during the early days of the regime, provided adequate grounds for the church's antagonism, The Catholic church and its priests in Russia were disfranchised, exiled and ultimately deprived of the possibility of pursuing their duties.

Situation Changes

Today things have changed. The bitterest opponent of the Soviet regime cannot deny that it has come to stay or that its influence in eastern and central Europe during the years to come will be overwhelmingly strong. The Kremlin is now openly friendly to religion and the only condition it. puts to the operation of any organized church is that it be loyal to the government. It seems pretty obvious that the Vatican cannot continue indefinitely to keep Russia on its blacklist and now appears to be as good a time as any to make the change.

MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 11 (U. P.).— The inscription inside the old violin said it was made in 1721 hy Antonio Stradavarius but Mrs. Veda Roller Ginther, prominent Muncie woman, who bought the instrument for $168 at auction, did not believe today she had a genuine “Strad.” “They are all accounted for,” she said when she discovered the inscription today. } Mrs. Ginther was willing to concede, hopefully, that there was the chance one of the genuine Stradavarius violins escaped the census so she planned to have an expert examine hers. The violin is not much to look at. The finish is largely worn off and it shows evidence of great age and much usage. However, Mrs. Ginther, a collector of old musical instruments, was positive she had an excellent bargain because the violin has a fine tone. If it is a genuine Stradavarius it is worth anywhere from $25,000 to $250,000, perhaps more, she said. The Italian master, most famous ‘of violin makers, lived from about 1644 to 1737. This would indicate Mrs. Ginther's find, if genuine, was made

Muncie Woman Buys $168 Violin; It May Be a 'Strad'

by Stradavarius when he was 77. George C. Gates, Muncie auctioneer, was the violin’s previous owner. “It's been in our family 90 years,” he told the throngs who assembled to bid on furniture, tools, dishes and a hundred other odds and ends. Most of them were interested in antique pictures, old dishes or an antique typewriter and when Gates

placed a $100 reserve bid on thel®

violin, encased in a well-worn case, all but Mrs. Ginther and a sandyhaired young man sniffed disdainfully. She bid $105. He raised $5. She raised, $5. Then, cautiously, they bid smaller amounts. Auctioneer Gates was in top form but the

The inscription inside the violin :

proclaims it was made by Antonio Stradavarius in Cremona, Italy, “Annon, 1721.” Mrs. Ginther said that because of the rarity of Stradavarius violins theusands of imitations have been
