MUSSOl I'M
ENDS OLD
DISPUTE

ROME, June Z (I.N.S.) y
The 59-year estrangement be-
tween the Roman Catholic
Church and the Italian gov
ernment formally came to an
end today when Premier
Benito Mussolini and Cardinal
Gasparri, Papal secretary OF
state, exchanged notifications
of the Lateran treaties pro-
viding for complete rapproche-
ment between the Vatican and
the state.
The head of the Italian govern
ment and the official representative
of Pope Plus XI met in the con
gregationai ,han" of Cardinal Gas
parri's private apartment in the
Vatican. It was the first time that
Premier Mussolini, and the first
time in almost so years that any
Italian government official, had
set LUOI AhS "phAS

Salute Guards
Premier Mussolini, escorted by his
aide-de-camps. motored to Vatican
Hill from the Chigi palace shortly
before IL o'clock this morning. In
historic St. Damacus courtyard OF
the palace, the papal Swiss guards,
dressed in their additional medieval
uniforms. rendered the dictator mill
tary honors. and he responded TO
their greeting with bisk salute.
There were only a few people
gathered in st. Peters Square when
four automobiles bearing the Mus
solini party arrived. No troops
were present.
AS the cars drew up the people
broke into an excited cheer. A 1T
tie group of policemen escorted the
Premier, who was dressed in mis-
official uniform. He was accom-
panied by Minister of Justice Rocco,
Minister OF Finance Mosconi and
under Secretary Giunta.
At the palace door, Mussolinf was
greeted by high Vatican dignitaries
and escorted to the first floor Of
Cardinal Gasparri's apartment, where
he was received by Monsignors
Borgongini and Pizzardo.
In their company, he premier
was taken into the presence of the
papaf secretary Of state. who was
awaiting his arrival in the con-
gregational hall. a large severe
room room almost devoid Of orna-
ment. The huge room was dimly
lit, little sunlight finding its way
into its cavernous recesses, as the
principal window long ago had been
turned into a secret elevator shaft
way, connecting Cardinal Gasparri's
apartment with the private chamber
of the Pope.
In the center of the room stood a
large table, covered with red damask
and adorned with two large gold
candelabra, almost the sole orne-
mentation In the hall.
First Cardinal Gasparri read the
papal credentials aloud, in which

between church and state in 1870
a Pope alluded to The king Of

With a law enforcement Sys-
tenn which the sheriff declares

little town is trying today to
resume the placidity which it
maintained before it became a
center of national news as the
result of the killing Of J. w.
Kendrick, 17-year-old Emory

the night of May s by three
officers who thought that the
machine in which the youth
was riding was being used to
violate the prohibition laws.
