He spent five days at Our Lady >f Lourdes shrine in France and icveral days at the shrine of Our -ady of Fatima in Spain. At >oth places he encountered many Americans and a good many iriests from throughout the world. He returned by air, leaving tom Lisbon and landing at New fork. Father Price doubts anything but skirmishes will come of the J Middle East tension, and labelled j the Hungary treatment as “pure! butchery”.

The tourist business, principal- j ly Americans, has become the chief industry all over Europe. -» Froelich Lands * 195-Lb. Sail Fish William J.
