"Miracle" of The Pope's Fight RAINCOATS

Rejoices at His Remarkable Recovery

Radio Plea For Peace To-day

Vatican, March 1.

HE Vatican has provided what is regarded as a miracle in the remarkable recovery of the Pope.

Although, a month ago, it seemed very- unlikely that His Holiness would see February, he has celebrated the 14th anniversary of his elevation to the Papal throne.

in January.

After the usuni morning visit of Dr. Milani, the Pope attended a special Mass of Thanksgiving in the small chapel adjoining his bedroom, where, seated in his wheelchair, he took Holy Com- munion.

Although the day was chilly and foggy he appeared in parti- -cularly good humour.

He smiled happily as he received Cardinal Pacelli, his Secretary of State, who presented his personal congratulations and those of all the officials of the Vatican City, who are rejoicing at his recovery.

Curate Advised To Go

"PEOPLE HAVE WALKED OUT"

THE REV. LEONARD WILLIAMS, curate of St. Dunstan's, Acton, has been informed that it would be advisable for him to leave the parish.

Sitting in an East Acton public-house, Mr. Willams told how his sermons on Marxist had caused people to walk out of his church, and had led to the hint that he should leave.

He said: "I am a Christian Marxist. I have brought Communism and Fasciam into my sermons. To-night I showed how the story of the Good Samaritan was a parable against non- intervention in Spain.

**The ordinary churchgoer 'in Acton doesn't like it. Last week saw the Bishop of Kensington. Both he and mr vlear have been very kind, but I gather that Communism is not popular here. "Two or Uree people have walked out during my sermons,
