kyron IayIor's Long
Audience With Pope
Arouses Speculation
Neutral Press Suggests
Envoy Told Of Anti-Nozi
Feeling in America
By the Associated Press.

oy inc ASSOCldted PRESS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The long
audience Of Myron G. Taylor, per-
sonal representative of President
Roosevelt, with the Pope in Vatican
City Saturday caused the European
press to bristle with speculation
yesterday
1t ranged from suggestion-per-
haps Axis-inspired-that the Amer
leans had a peace plan to the belief
in some quarters that Nazi eXcesses
in occupied countries may evoke
some expression from the church.
Mr.. Taylor's visit to Vatican City
came at time of intensified perse-
cution of Jews in occupied countries,
particularly France. 1t conceded
also with new wave of executions
of hostages by German police, and
of preparations in France to deport
thousands of laborers to Germany.
The Portuguese and Spar'ih press,
1t was stated by dispatches reaching
this country yesterday, INDUCED in
surmises as to whether Mr.. Taylor
had a peace plan. But the over
whelming opinion OF the neutral
press seemed to be that he brought
sweeping indictments of Nazi con-
duct in occupied countries and that
the Vatican heard plain statement
OF the moral indignation OF the
United States.
Pressure In America.
In still other quarters the posi-
bility of a Vatican pronouncement
on the German administration OF
occupied countries was awaited.
The usually well-informed Vatican
correspondent of the Swiss news.
paper Corriere Delticino observed
that there has been pressure from
American Catholic quarters to IN
duce the Pontiff to take a hostlle
position against National Socialism
or at least to place it on the same
level as Communism" Then he re-
called that Soviet diplomacy had
never renounced its proposal TO
establish relations with the Holy See.
A Vatican stand against Nazl-lsm,
continental observers said, would
have reverberations among Catno-
lies from Lisbon to the f1ghtlng
front in Russia. On that front 1tal-
ians, as we'll as Catholic soldiers re-
cruited from the Balkans, Spain,
France and other Axis dominated
countries are motivated partially by
the belief they are engaged IN
Christian crusade.
Effect in Reich and Italy.
Condemnation of National So
cialism also would have a telling
effect within Germany, where the
population faces another war WIN
ter, and in Italy, where the press
has hammered home the notion
that the fight on the eastern front
Is against the Bolshevist foe-whlch
to the average Italian means the
foe of Christianity.
Other countries, being asked to
supply laborers to Germany, also
would be impressed in varying de-
grees, editorial observers said. The |
reaction in France, where the cleft |
between church and state Is in
creasing because of the govern
ment's swing to energetic anti |
Semitism, would be far-reachlng, |
It was stated.
The rift between church and state |
In France widened, it was reported |
yesterday, as consequence of the
arrest of the Jesuit vicar general
Of Lyon. A traveller reaching Switz-
erland said he had been arrested
because he refused to surrender to
police 80 Jewish children who had
been given asylum by Catholic
families

Chambers was wounded in both
wrists and the leg by a mortar shell
which he said he could not be sure
was Jap shell or premature ex-
plosion from the marines own gun.
I'VE were after . Jap machine

explained, "and were using our own
ntortars when q shell exploded in

have been shell from either"

Maj. Chambers was removed to
the rear, near the beach, and dur
ing the night said that marines oc-
cupied the hill and that Japs oc-
cupied the beach, leaving the
wounded in between the two forces.
when morning came the firing
started and we were right in be-
tween," he said. MY arms were
In splints and I rolled to the ground
to get out of line of the firing. And
then We managed to evacuate the
wounded"
Declaring that the marines have
learned not to pull any Of their
punches on the Japs, Maj. Cham
bers said the Japanese soldiers will
not hesitate to fire on their enemy's
wounded. 1--WE seen them do it,
and I suppose they logically believe
that q wounded soldier, If left alive,
will return to fight again"
They are tough fighters and the
only time I ever saw one attempt
to surrender he was shot by his Of
flcer before he had gotten five steps
from his own lines. They seem to
fight, not with SO much hate, as in
desperation" he said.
