is 80 years old. has insisted upon an
audience with the Pope claiming that he
desired the redress OF certain wrongs
which he declared he had suffered at the
hands OF the Vatican. The audience was
denied. the authorities considering that
the mans claim did not justify a per-
sonal hearing

expected 10 pass. When the Pontiff ap-
preached the gendarmes asked the priest
to move on. This the man refused to do
and he began to shout and gesticulate In
