TO POPE PIUS,
RESUMES MEETS
! ROME, Jan. 30 UP) Harry
Hopkins, President Roosevelt's
personal aide, held a 40-minute
private audience with Pope
Pius today and then resumed a
series of "political, military and
diplomatic conferences with
Italian leaders to obtain infor
mation for the Big Three meet
. u nt-ociHont Prime Min
ister Churchill and Marshal
Stalin.
; : Arriving yesterday from
Paris and London where he had
conferred with Churchill, For
eign Secretary Eden, Gen. De
Gaulle and French Foreign Min
ister Bidault, the president's en
voy held a press conference in
the evening at which he ex
pressed considerable encourage
ment at the prospects of allied
agreement on post-war prob
lems and hinted that the forth
coming Big Three conference
might be brief.
The report of his arrival and
the press conference was held
up by military officials on
grounds of "security," however,
until late today.
Hopkins swung immediately
Into a busy program upon his
arrival, conferring first with U.
S. Ambassador Alexander Kirk
and then Italian Foreign. Min
ister Alcide de Gasperi. .
The press conference started
out as strictly off the record,
but wound up with Hopkins
telling the correspondents they
could print almost everything
he said.
' He refused to admit he even
knew when or where the Big
Three leaders of the allies will
meet. He also was non-committal
on his own future plans and
sidestepped questions about
whom he intended to see in
Italy. He was particularly
vague when asked if he intend
ed to see Crown Prince Um
berto. - He did say he might go to
Moscow, but was not sure, and
gave a flat negative, when
asked if he intended to visit
Greece.

Sgt. Young Writes
From Jap Prison
Mrs. Sophia Young, route 3,
box 152, Klamath Falls, was
happy to receive word from her
son, Sgt. James N. Young, who
has been a prisoner of the Jap
anese since October, 1942. The
card was dated July, 1944.
Young, a member of the army
air force, was captured following
a raid over Hong Kong. He has
been in Shanghai since his in
ternment. "I am well and healthy," said
the message. "Have received
many letters from you and
photos. The Red Cross is com
ing through mognificently. We
even saw an American movie
the other day. Received two let
ters from uncle. The heat and
mosquitoes are awful."
Mrs. Young said that James
has only two uncles, neither of
whom have written to her son.
She considers the expression,
"two letters from uncle," as
meaning bombings from the
U. S. air force.
