From Catholic circles in touch with Germany we learn that Berlin's Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Orsognio, has been called four times in a week to the Wilhelmstrasse to discuss a new Papal "peace appeal"-which is to be used as propaganda in the Reich,

*

It is aimed to make this appeal in such a way that it is bound to be turned down by the Allies, so that Hitler can once again "show" his people that the Allies are ta blame for hostilities. The Papal Nunció, we learn, is opposing the form in which he has been asked to submit the appeal.

Judge Coxe said, "I am not in the habit of thanking jurles, but in this case I want to thank them for the way they courageously and fearlessly conducted themselves."

Browder's bail was continued until Wednesday, the Judge specifying that the defence counsel must perfect un appeal by that time. Browder left the court-room, presumably to speak. at to-night's Slate Communist rally, Madison which is being held in Square Gardens.
