FOR AMERICA
Papal Secretary's
Visit Linked With
.COughlin

VATICAN CITY. Oct. |. (UP)
Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, Papal
secretary of state, sailed today
on the Conte Savoia to confer
with American church leaders on
major problems. including politi-
cal activities of the Rev. Charles
+. Coughlin, Detroit radio priest,
it was learned yesterday.
Ii will be the first visit of 4
Papal secretary of state to the
United States. Cardinal Pacelli
originally intended to take Il
months vacation in Switzerland.
1t is believed that following an
hours conference with Pope Plus
Tuesday the decision to visit the
United States was reached.
Although "unofficially' h q
cardinals visit will be to view the
situation of the church in the
United States and to confer with
the American ccclesiaStic hierar-
chy on major problems, specula-
ton arose us TO whether the re-
cent speech of Father Coughln in
Cincinnati, in which he charged
that President Roosevelt was
"anti-God." caused the sudden
and unexpected decision.
The fact that it will be the first
visit OF Papal secretary of state
to the United States caused OBJ
servers to believe the Vatican was
taking more interest in the activ-
tiles of Father Coughlin than
heretofore revealed.
