II Duce Visits Pope Pius XI Vatican City (U.R) Premier Benito Mussolini, head of the modern Fascist state, arrived 15 minutes early yesterday for his audience with Pope Pius XL ending the long dispute between church and state, and the early arrival upset the routine of a century-old Vatican ceremony for receiving distinguished visitors. Members of the papal household were perplexed bui acted quickly. Monsignor Arborlo Mella advanced and greeted the Premier. Mussolini was sumrised. a well as the receiv tion committee.

Monsignor Mella escorted Mussolini to the Sal a Clementina where Monsignor Caccia-Domione. his round, smilinc face bobbing above his rotund body, rusnea to me head ox the stairs to greet Mussolini in the name of the Pope. Mussolini wore the uniform of the prime minister, a cut away coat heavily embroidered with gold, gold striped trousers, and a hat re sembling an admiral's but with much brighter plumes.

The President's position is that he is quite willing to let that question go before the Rules Committee and Platform Committee and have it fought out on the floor of the convention. Hoover is still in favor of keeping the Republican party dry and opposing a referendum, but rather than openly fight any effort to pledge state delegations to a wet plank, calling for a referendum, or even direct repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, will satisfy himself with having the delegates pledged to him.

and allow the wet Issue to be fought out by the convention itself, it is learned. Senator Edge's principal purpose in visiting this country was. to work with the politicians to get the New Jersey delegation to the Republican National Convention pledged to President Hoover. Senators Kean and Barbour did not wait his arrival to take the step either wayr however. Senator Kean declared for a pledged delegation for Hoover two weeks ago.

and Barbour came out for Hoover and for a wet plank, a week ago. The trio are now in complete harmony on a plank for Hoover and- revoking the Eighteenth Amendment and hope fco expect to line up the entire New Jersey delegation to the convention in that way.
