Reclaimed by Owners

THERE IS only one jarring note. The people who pack and jam and clutter are all Australians, You keep missing the khaki and the blue of the Yanks, and It comes with a shock that this isnt your town any more. It has been reclaimed by, the original owners, George McCadden of the United Press is on hand to meet you, and you go to dinner at Prince's, the upper-crust cafe that used to be aswirl with laughing Yanks, tossing pounds around like chaff, and romancing the Sheilas and drinking more than they should. The band at Prince's is playing “Baby, It's Cold Outside,” when five years ago it would have been “Working for the Yankee Dollar,” The people who caper at Prince's now are mostly sedate, with heavy emphasis on the waltz. A few vestigial traces of the jitterbug still manifest themselves later in the evening, and for some odd reason the Australian has taken heavily to the samba. The samba is danced over here much after the kangaroo fashion, and seriously endangers the welfare of the noncombatants, It is an interesting thing to watch the eyes of the arbiters of the cafes light up when an old, familiar Yankee face heaves over the horizon. We may not be missed in the museums and other

Oleo—Harumpf

Wiley: Beef fat? Sen. Fulbright: No. Sen. Wiley: Tallow and whale oil? Sen. Fulbright (beginning to get annoyed): No-o0-0-0. Sen. Wiley: Lard? Sen.

on how an expert, like a Senator, can whip a simple little question like this into a mountainous and impenetrable scuffle.

Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota announced that it was a well-known fact a brown cow always gave white milk while Sén. Zales N.

They preferred margarine. Why? “Because,” he thundered, “it sounds something like the pretty girl’s name, Margy.” Anyhow, there's no dynamite in it.

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 13—The nearest that the first pilgrims are able to approach the question of St. Peter's bones is a green bronze door, closed to them. Peter's bones—or his dust, or his empty tomb— may still be in the Vatican's old grottoes, below the altar under the great dome of Christianity's most magnificent temple. But the door behind which lies the answer is nowhere near the altar. You cannot see it, as a pilgrim, if you come up the mighty approaches from St. Peter's Square, nor will you find any green door among the maze of ornate chapels and mighty altars within the basilica. The green door behind which lies the answer is on the outside of St. Peter's. You walk around the left side of the great basilica, through an archway benevolently watched by Swiss guards in rainbow pantaloons and hats like muffs, And there you find a door that is more important, in a scientific sense, than the holy door on the main portico that the Pope walked through to open Holy Year. It's about 8 feet high, dour green in color, and firmly locked-—from outside.

World's Wisest Archeologists

THROUGH THIS door, one may say, pass the canniest archeologists in the world—or at least in Italy: They are the archeologisal staff

of the Vatican, mostly Gregorian fathers and -

Jesuits, Italian and German. On them depends the tender question of what the Catholic .church will claim to have found below: St. Peter's altar. Will it be bones, dust, or merely the simple monument that Pope Pius XII already says is there? Msgr. Ludwig -Kaas, the Bavarian who has charge of what is peculiarly called “The Fabric

, of St. Peter's,” is saying nothing. The archeolo-

Natural springs, already a nuisance even in summer, have broken out with redoubled vigor. These floods have set the timetable of digging back somewhat. But a proposal is under consideration to allow the pilgrims who arrive in the | spring to pass through the green door and into the underground diggings, by then supposedly dried out.

Won't Get the Answer |

THESE PILGRIMS will see the tombs of the early Popes, hewn like bunks into the walls of the long passages below the nave angd transept. But they will not be able to go home with the answer in hand to the scientific question of St. Peter's tomb. Though they will get a little nearer, their view | will also be barred by another door, reached by | a humped passage leading off the papal grottoes.| Through this door no one has passed except the Pope, his archeologists and Msgr.
