PAPAL AIDE TO SAIL
ON TRIP TO AMERICA
Vacation Visit to Be 1ncognito,
With Coughlin's Activities
Not a Factor.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, october l.
Oficials of the Holy See today con-
firmed q report that Eugenio Cardinal
Pacelli papel secretary of state, will
sail today for New York on the Conte
Di Savoia.
One official said the cardinal would
be strictly incognito, and that the
trip would be his annual personal va
cation, not in any sense an official
visit.
Prelates said they realized his visit
to the United States would give rise
to rumors it had something to do with
the activities OF the Rev. Charles E
Coughlin, whose attacks on President
Roosevelt have been criticized sharply
by the Vatican newspaper. Osservatore
Romano.
Such a premise is not fact. Vati-
can sources said. They did, however
say this would not preclude Cardinal
Pacelli's talking with Pope Plus about
Coughlin on his return.
The cardinal will leave on the same
boat with Fulvio Suvich, Ambassador
designate to the United States.
