BREACH IS FEARED
Fascist Students Continue
Demonstrations Against
Catholic Institutions

Rome. May 27.-(P)-Rioting Fas-
cist students wednesday renewed
their demonstrations against students
at Catholic institutions. and 1t was
feared that the repeated disturbances
might bring a diplomatic breach be-
tween the Vatican and the Italian
government.
wednesday morning the rioters
surrounded the Catholic student head
quarters, stoned the building and
broke all the windows up to the fifth
floor. The crowd was dispersed by
the Carbinieri.
Driven away from the student
building, the crowd rolled on to 9TH
er Catholic headquarters and broke
many windows before police arrived.
There has been diplomatic tension
between Rome and the Vatican for
three months.
Since early In March Pope Plus had
refused to receive Count Dvecchini,
italian ambassador to the Holy See
and one of the four leaders OF the
Fascists march on Rome.
Premier Mussolini also has been
refusing to see Archbishop Orgonin-
mi, Papal Nuncio to italy, one Of the
regulators of the Lateran treaty.

SOVIET SUBMARINE
SINKS IN BALTIC SEA
Explosion Is Believed Cause OF
Tragedy; All Hands De-
cIared Aboard

London, May 27.-tP1-Russlan air
planes and boats Wednesday circled
above the spot where Soviet submar-
inc No. 9 of the Baltic fleet sank FRI
day in a pool Of oil.
Although the Soviet government re-
mains silent on the tragedy, dis
patches from Riga, Latvia, said 1t was
understood the craft went down after
an explosion, presumably with all
hands, about 100 miles from Helsing-
fors. Finland
Moscow dispatches said the submer-
sible failed to rise after making dive
during maneuvers with other vessels
Of the fleet. Auxiliary ships were
sent to the scene, 1t was said, but
were unsuccessful In attempts to raise
it. Destroyers and planes stood by In
hope Of being of assistance.
Russia is believed to maintain a
fleet of about eight submarines, IL
destroyers and three battleshipS In
Baltic waters. Their activity in con-
nection with the sinking was credit
cd by observers here as explaining
Finnish fears that q Russian flotilla
was menacing their country.
