OF Chicago Take Over
Churches In Rome

ROME, Feb. 24.-W.p)-Two new
American Cardinals took titular
possession of historic Roman
churches Sunday as the Pope pre-
pared for tomorroW's unprecedent-
ed secret audience with Cardinals
and Vatican diplomats at which
he may comment on the Catholic
church's role in world affairs.
In brief. colorful ceremonies Car
dinals Edward Mooney of Detroit
and Samuel A. Stritch of Chicago
took possession respectively of the
American Church of Santa Susanna
and of Santa Agnes Outside the
Walls.
Policy Expected
Many informed Vatican sources
believed that at tomorroW's collec-
tive audience with members of the
Sacred college and diplomats ac-
credited to the Holy See-virtually
a fifth consistory-the Pope would
discuss world affairs and outline
a political policy for the newly-in-
ternationalized College Of Cardi-
nails.
Some quarters, however, suggest
ed tina. since the meeting is to be
secret, the Pontiff is not likely to
take this opportunity to make policy
pronouncements. The Pope will
speak in answer to an address of
greetings by Antonio Pacheco,
