CLERGY MAY GUARD
 SECRETS IN ITALY
SanCtity Of Confessional Extend-
 ed to Jews and PrOteStantS

Rome, Aug 6 (P9-Protestant clergymcn and Jewish rabbis will hereafter enjoy the same privilege as Roman Catholic priests in being able to plead "thc professional secret' when declining to give testimony be- fore the Italian courts. This is made clear in the second portion of the new code of penal procedure issued by Minister of Justice Rocco.
 As the code will be introduced in the senate and chamber next autumn as a government bill and since the Fascists have an overwhelming ma jority in the upper house and prac- tiCal unanimity in the lower. it should pass without question. What it will do is to secure to non-Catholic ministers are same right of keeping confessions inViolate that has long been tacitly granted to priests of the Roman church.
 The codes text says the new dis position is in strict accord with the Lateran treaties. The text specif- ically eXempts from giving testimony on confidential matters the minis- ters of the state religion G. e., the priests), maintaining also the guar

antee for the ministers of those cults permitted in the state" It is further added that the privileged position obtained by the Roman church, ow- ing to the concordat that forms part of the Lateran accords, does not sig nifty "a diminution of the liberty and guarantees" enjoyed by other sects.
 Cardinals, under the new code, have a peculiar privilege. If they are cited at witnesses in legal ac- tion. their testimony may be taken at their domiciles, since they are considered on par with princes of the blood royal and high officials of the state. The idea behind this pro- vision is that every cardinal is a po- tential sovereign, being eligible to electon as pope on the death of the reigning pontiff, and therefore com parable with an Italian prince in line of succession to the throne.
