 | The fact that all nations acknowl- edge the existence of the Vatican
 State was also cited as preventing the return of the Pope to voluntary from which he em- erged early in 1929, after the sign ling of the Lateran Accord with Italy.
 It also was emphasized that the Pope has protested only against the alleged violation of the concordat, which is entirely separate from the I.ateran Accord The POntiff can denounce the Concordat without af- fecting his position as Q sovereign, and still receive yearly payments from Italy as the treaty requires. The Vatican meanwhile anxious :! 1v awaited the governments decision regarding the reopening of Catholic clubs and on the future of the AZl- one Cattolica. The Italian authorl- ties maintained silence regarding the negotiations other than to admit the conversations were proceeding, | and to announce that all Cathonc Young Mems associations would be treated on the same basis, including the Knights of Columbus.
 The protest of Edward l.. Hearn,
 European director of the Knights of l Columbus, was proceeding through the usual diplomatic channels. | Mayor Curley Secs King Rome. June 3.-(UP)-King Vic Itor Emmanuel received Mayor James M.

 | "The Roman Catholic church has taken bigger men than Mussolini and eaten them for dessert" the clergy man said. The state in Italy has denied people freedom and now 1t tries to do the same thing with the church. But it will not york; Near Termination Rome, June 3 - (UP) = Termi- nation of the Fascist-Vatican con- troversy appeared today when an inspired note was issued from the Vatican, enumerating extenuating circumstances in the closure ot Catholic clubs in Italy by the gov ernment.
 Among the causes determining the closing order" the note said, was the intention of preventing at Jacks against and invasions or the clubs in an effort to prevent out bursts, not alone against the Pope
 but against the king"
 Tn all the clubs" the note said,
 "there were portraits of the pope,
 the king and Premier Mussolini. In
 many cases the portraits of the king
 suffered the same mutilatlons as
 those of the pope. Premier Musso-
 linrs portrait genreally was respect
 cd, but in one place it disappeared
 and it is not known where it can be
 found.
 From our investigation, it has
 been confirmed that the provision
 closing all Catholic young mems
 clubs was not a formal application
 of the decree recently issued but
 only a police measure. The police
 said some clubs had been closed only
 a few days. In others documents
 were not taken away but the doors
 were closed and sealed.
 ''The police have taken measures
 against many important members of ! the Catholic youth society. Some
 were detained and others questioned
 awaiting further orders. Attorney Borsanego, honorary president oi
 the Catholic Youth society, received
 q warning to refrain from political | action. This measure is usually taken
 before deportation into exile.
 "The government, in justifying its
 action, says it is in possession of let
 tcrs sent by Catholics and priests,
 complaining against the political ac- tiyities and anti fascist character of
 Azione Cattolica. Besides which, when the government closed the | clubs, it received numerous letters
 of congratulation from Catholics and
 priests who objected to the political
 activities of the Catholic clubs"
