 No Nuncio Here
 The Vatican has no regular nuncio to the United States, it's Apostolic delegate there being without diplo- matic status, but from the time Cardinal Pacelli became secretary of state there were rumors that he would make an official visit to America and that it might result in diplomatic relations. His jour- ney to the United States, however, was described as private and it never was admitted that he went for any other purpose.
 The cardinal arrived in New York in 1886 and traveled thousands of miles over the eastern and mid- western states, chiefly by airplane. He visited President Roosevelt at Hyde Park and made one of his best received speeches before news paper men in Washington, where he was cheered.
 In July, 1887, the cardinal visited the Shrine of Lisieux on what was publicly described as strictly of- f1cial visit to pray for the health of Plus XI." It was at that time that Plus XI suffered heart at- tack that caused great official con- cern at the Vatican.
 To Eucharistic Congress
 When the 34th International Eucharistic Congress was held in Budapest in 1888, Cardinal Pacelli again was designated by the pope as papal legate and received the cheers and homage of the faithful from all parts of the world.
 Hungarians tell story of that visit which illustrated the cardinals fordneSs for animals. While in Budapest, the cardinal saw for the first time one of the small black Hungarian sheepdogs of a breed p-lown as ''Pulis". They are noted for their keen intelligence and the cardinal was so attracted to them that he took one back with him to Rome.
 Another story told of him at Budapest was that he found upon his arrival that he had left his red cardinal robes in Rome and the Hungarian primate, Cardinal Seredi, had to save the situation by lending the slender papal legate one of his voluminous robes, which was both too short and too big around.
 Pacelli Amazed Congress
 The cardinal amazed the congress Ky his fluent use of many languages an ability that he later repeated al the World Congress of the Religious Press in Rome. During his 10 years as secretary of state, the cardinal negotiated important concordats with Jugoslavia, Austria, and Ger many-the agreements which Pope Plus xI later accused the Nazis oi ( regarding.
 The new pope is known as ar indefatigable worker, always arising at 6 a. m. when he was secretary of state. After celebrating mass he customarily had only cup of black coffee for breakfast and spent the rest of the morning at his desk.
 After luncheon, he took a short rest only in the summer month. when Rome is exceptionally warm Usually he worked all afternoon ane sometimes late into the evening. H. has room fitted out as a gym. nasium and he takes regular exer. cises because of his frail physique which was also the reason for hi occasional trips to the Swiss noun. tains when he was secretary O state.
 Ate Turkey Dinner
 Last Thanksgiving day, he ate ; turkey dinner with the American priests and students connected witt the Vatican.
 AS 262nd pope of the Holy Ro man church, he is the first pope il history to receive the Order of Hol. Annunciation, which was awarded to him by King Victor Emmanue in 1882, an honor which he divided with Cardinal Gasparri. The holde of that decoration has the rank o a cousin of the king of Italy.
