ROME, Aug. 30.-Spokesmen for q
group of A American Baptists tour

recent exchange of letters between
President Truman and Pope Plus
XII implied that the United States
Government sis an ally of clerical
totalitarianism"

against Communism" and said such
procedure violates our cherished
American doctrine of separating
church and state
President Truman himself is q

The statement described as q
tragedy" the return of Myron C.
Taylor as presidential representative
at the Vatican. and added:
I'VE believe this action is as close
ly connected with the presidential
elections next year as it is con-
nected with events in Europe"
Asked for comment, a Vatican
source said only that "the Vatican is
not going to comment on a matter
which presents an attack on Presi-

The spokesmen said their group

Northern Convention" They said:
"On behalf of our group here, rep

They declared also that the Ital-

from the Vatican. They said each
package was stamped American

by the wayside.
The President also demanded in
creased appropriations for antitrust
prosecutions and for the Federal
Trade Commission which polices
fair-trade practices. Some additional
funds were granted. His suggestions
for helping small business were
ignored.
The makings for real fight on
the economic issue are all present,
beginning with the fate of price
control. The Republicans are already

skimpy lamb chops before her hus-
band and said bitterly: Enjoy your

Mr.. Baldwin introduced a resolu-
ton to investigate prices the next
morning. This was in July and
Senator Taft, chairman OF the joint
committee, was not amused by TINS
demonstration that he had smoth-
cred the committee.
Mr., Taft got the Baldwin reso-
luton referred to his committee,
pigeonholed it, introduced his own
calling for the three subcommlt-
tees and, pointedly ignoring Mr..
Baldwin, made Vermont's Senator
Flanders chairman of the subcom-
mittee for the East.
Mr.. Taft himself has said that
on his pre-convention campaign trip
West he will defend Republican
policy and offer his own solutions
for high prices and tagging pro-
