Attempt by Roosevelt
To Close Gap Between
Reds and Vatican Seem
By the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt's reported plan
to visit Italy stirred speculation to-
day that he may be exploring the
possibility of establishing friendly
relations between the Kremlin and
the Vatican.
Such a rapprochement, which Is
not considered out of the question
among diplomats here, would close,
at least formally, the last great gap
in the ranks of those forces des-
tined to WELD powerful influence
in Europe and the world after de-
feat of Germany and Japan.
Whether the President actually
may see Pope Plus XII can only be
speculated on from this distance.
His movements, which have been
blacked out since the end of the
Big Three conference at Yalta on
Sunday, remained secret.
Opportunity for Meeting.
Certainly it was evident. even un-
der the restrictions of censorship,
that visit by the President to Italy
would offer an opportunity for an
extraordinary meeting with the
Pope.
Now that. the Big Three powers
have agreed on program of joint
action for liberated Europe and
control policies for Germany, pos
sibly the greatest remaining uncer-
tainty in European affairs is the
relationship between the Kremlin
and the Vatican.
The headquarters of Communist
Russia and the Roman Catholic
church have not had diplomatic or
political relations since the revolu-
ton gave Russia Communism and
set 1t at odds with most of the world.
The Communists militant atheism
put them into conflict with religious
movements and leaders all over the
world and their specific split with
Catholicism has been deep and wide.
Factor in World Issues.
1t has been factor in many
world issues and recently it has
been reflected in q long distance
exchange of arguments, through the
Moscow and Vatican City press,
over the respective Russian and
Catholic approaches to the defeat
of Germany and establishment of
peace in Europe.
1t doubtless has also been a great
though often submerged factor in
more specific European political
problems. Poland, where the Rus
slams are demanding a pro-Soviet
government as one guarantee of
their security in future, is a Cath
olic country.
The issue of Kremlin- Vatican re-
lations was in the background of
the Big Three conference. Harry
Hopkins, the Presidents personal
adviser and aide, had 40-minute
audience with the Pope on January
80, just before he concluded tour
of European capitals and left to
meet the President for the Crimean
talks

scourging such as she never before
experienced.
Yanks Also Hit Chemnitz.
Chemnitz, main target of the
RAF assault last night, is situated
IS miles southwest of Dresden and
is one of the largest industrial
cities in Saxony. 1t had been hit
only few hours earlier by 450
Flying Fortresses.
British heavy bombers last night
also attacked synthetic oil plant
at Rositz, just south of Leipzig,
while Mosquitoes hit refugee-packed
Berlin.
German radio programs were in
terrupted every few minutes this
morning by the voice of "Achtung
Ann" the girl who gives warnings
of approaching Allied bombers. Ap-
parently a little nervous. she got
her announcements mixed up sew
eral times and made a number of
false starts.
Hit Twice in Night.
Chemnitz was hit twice by the
British last night, each time by ap-
proximately 400 heavy bombers.
The first night blow at the city
was timed at 9 pm. Fires still were
raging when the second wave struck
after midnight.
Like Dresden, Chemnitz Is be-
lieyed packed with refugees fleeing
the Russian advance. 1t also is one
of the places were some Berlin gov
ernment Offices are reported to have
been moved.
The German Air Force, which at
tempted to halt only one of yes
terday's four American daylight
heavy bomber fleets, made a modest
effort to protect rail movements in
the British Canadian battle area In
the west. Nazi fighters also staged
a token defense of Chemnitz during
the night.
Many Fires Left Burning.
"But the defenses were not nearly
strong enough to save the town." an
Raj pilot said. There were many
fires burning and the heat from
them was SO strong it lifted and

above the city"
British and American tactical
bombers and fighters based on the
continent had big day yesterday.
The weather was perfect for low
level operations.
United States 9th Air Force bomb

conscience moved Doris. Her deci-
sion did not take long.
Doris took the two o'clock train
to Sweetsburg, and at three-thirty,
with bulging suitcases and two ba-
bies, arrived at her old home in .
taxi. After NAMES tale Of the
promise to be back before eight,
Doris tried to be very calm.
"You keep the kids from killing

search for her"
Mamie clutched her. you'll not

But excursions into the woods
from the top Of the mountain road,
halloing and calling Eleonore's
name, brought no results. Doris
te%lephoned various friends asking
If Eleonore had been there, although
it was a forlorn hope since none of
them lived within walking distance.
Doris 'phoned Theron to come at
once; the more she heard, the worse
1t got: "El' vas all worked up over

Theron was not impressed with

met him at the seven o'clock train.
"El' wasn't that kind-but she
probably was lost. They would get
