Gloria Swanson Discovers Rome Church
Truly American's' Home Away From Home'
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written for United Press
Rome (U.R) An American's
"home away from home" in
Rof is truly St. Paul's Ameri
can Protestant church, the first
American church to be built
within the walls of Rome after
religious liberty was declared in
this country. 0
It is hard to realize that little
more than 75 years have passed
since such Americans as J. P.
Morgan, Lorillard Wolf, the
Astors and scores of others list
ed in the social register could
not vacation in Florida because
there was no Palm Beach or
Miami as yet.
Instead they spent their win
ters in Rome, and spent S3, 000,
000 in building one of its most
beautiful churches.
The celebrated Sir Edward
Burne-Jones executed the mosaic-covered
chancel. The church
possesses the second largest or
gan and the only carillon in
Rome. It is quite fitting that
Rome should declare St. Paul's
a national monument.
This is all past history, and
not what would bring me to the
church -more than once. I, as
well as hundreds of other Amer
icans, go to worship.
The rector, Canon Charles
Shreves who is neither too
young nor too old has a cheer
ful personality that lights up a
room or the pulpit with his good
humor. The first sermon I heard
was about the ' importance of
"staying on the beam."
The cultural, physical and
spiritual needs of human beings
are, in this house of God, well
cared for. Becausa Rome is a
mecca for students and artists,
many of whom are too poor to
hire a gallery or a concert hall,
they exhibit their works of art
or musical or literary talents in
this church. After the service
on Sunday, most everybody
goes to the gallery to have a cup

Monaco Residents Prefer
To See Visiting Americans
Dressed in Evening Clothes
Monte Carlo. Monaco (U.R)
Some of the 23,000 residents of
Monaco are beginning to think
twice about the forthcoming
marriage of Prince Rainier and
Grace Kelly.
Not that they have anything
against Miss Kelly. She'll make
a lovely princess.
It's those other Americans.
"I suppose they'll be landing
on our beach in droves all in
flowered sport shirts, with the
tail&hanging out," said an old
iimer whose shirt was neatly
fucked in.
"Of course, we like Ameri
cans. But we prefer them in eve
ning clothes at the casino. Espe
cially the very rich ones, who
are not too noisy."
The old gentleman was speak
ing for a minority here who see
the big wedding April 18-19 as a
threat of being "Kelly-ized."
They fear Monaco's "old tradi
tion' will be swamped under an
Nixon Gathers Old
Jaft Wing Strength
Washington (U.R). Vice
President Richard M. Nixon ap
peared to be gathering strength
Saturday in the old Taft wing of
theCfcOP against a possible east
ern Republican choice for the
vice-presidential nomination.
Although Nixon has never
been identified as a Taft man,
backers of the late Sen. Robert
A. Taft have been listening to
"Dump Nixon" talk with suspi
cion and csentment.
They have interpreted it as
the forerunner of moves to dis
place Nixon as President Eisen
howers running mate this year
with someon like former Gov,
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
and Gov. Christian A. Herter
of Massachusetts.
Mr. Eisenhower repeatedly
has poured lavish praise on
Nixon but has stopped short of
endorsing him for renomina
tion. When the president made
his own second term announce
ment this week, heoindicated he
thought it would be improper to
do so before he is renominated
himself.
Britain, France Set
Up Ministers Meeting
Paris U.R) Britain and
France set up a conference be
tween their two, prime minis
ters Saturday for a sweeping
review of the world situation.
Britain's Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden invited Frencfi
Premier Guy Mollett to go to
London for the discussion. Mol
let accepted immediately. The
date was to be worked out later.
invasion of Americans and
American ways. . -Many
Dollars
Between 5,000 and 10,000
Americans are expected to show
up for the wedding, as many in
sports shirts' as in tuxedos. A
"face-lifting" of Monte Carlo to
relieve them of as many dollars
as possible already is under
way.
A second high-stakes craps
table has been installed in the
private salon of the Monte Carlo
casino. Pictures of Miss Kelly
and the Prince are everywhere.
Souvenir shops are completely
out 'of. American flags.
. Hotels are remodeling their
rooms and plumbing. But even
the idea of fixing up the plumb
ing is distasteful to the more
conservative Monagesques. Bad
plumbing is traditional in Euro
pean hotels.
The. same people frown dark
ly at the modern 14-story sky
scraper being built at the sunny
port.
Most Monagesques, however,
are anxious for the wedding and
everything that goes with it.
This promises to be a dilly of a
tourist season.
The wedding gives Monte
Carlo businessmen a "big draw"
to offset the annual Internation
al Film Festival at Cannes. It is
expected to be such an attraction
that yesterday the film festival,
which had been scheduled for
April . 10 to 24, was postponed
until A$ril 23-May 10. The festi
val committee feared the wed
ding would draw all the tourists
away from Cannes, which is
practically next door to Monaco.
Now each event may help at
tract crowds to the other.
FAMILIAR TOPIC
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower heard a ser
mon Sunday on a topic that had
a familiar ring. Dr. L. R. Elson
of National Presbyterian church
where the President attended
the 9 a.m. service spoke on
"Alternatives in High Decisions."
Fresno, Calif. (U.R) At
least two major oil companies
were charged Saturday with at
tempting to fix prices and
"squeeze" retailers' profits.

"It is important for a presidential candidate to get out beyond

Washington House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin on

"At the start of this session of Congress I was quite hopeful
there could be a tax cut. But that hope is gradually dimming."

the Senate special lobby investigation committee, on his admis

"After all it costs money to run a campaign. You don't go out

money to me."
