MOVEMENT IS CATHOIC Pope Does Not Recog ize Body; Mussolini Newspaper Makes Attack. ROME, May 2.-(IP)--There is no political party in Italy but that of the Fascists-but political thinkers are watching with enormous inter- est, the growth of a movement tnat one day may develop into a trans- migrated form of the old Popular party and become the parliament- ary opposition to facism. Under the searching eyes of Mus- solini and his lieutenants, who have sternly forbidden any form of politi- eal manifestation unless fascist, and under the equally keen eyes of the Vatican, this move- ment, statistics show, has gone. on steadily expanding. This recrudesence centers inmCatholic Action, a men's so- ciety with tens of {tiCIU501~ithousands of mem- bers, with branches in every city and every parish. Catholics compose 95 per cent of Italy's population. The Popular party was Catholic. Organized by Don Sturzo immedi- ately after the world war, it had more than 200 representatives in the chamber of deputies in 1922, when Mussolini came into power. It was a democratic Christian movement, openlypolitical. vot Recognize(-. I was not recognized by the Vat- ican, although the public 'assumed it had the Vatican's sympathies. The present movement is more orthodox. A convention of Catholic Action was to have been held at Ferrara recently.' It had the blessing of the pope, sent by him personally. Sud- denly the government stepped in and the convention was ordered cancelled. Another instance arose when At- tufrney Traglia, president of the Federation of Catholic Youth, a section of Catholic Action, issued a circular to all his branches exhort- ing them to further activity. He ad- vised them to extend their work beyond the moral into the econom- ic field. Pressure Exerted. Pressure was exerted, the execu- tive committee of Catholic Action met and Traglia was forced to re- sign. In the last few weeks the Lavoro Fascista, Rome's ultra-fascist or- gan, has consistently attacked Catholic Action, declaring that the organization had stepped beyond the limits accorded to it by the Lateran treaties. Yet Catholic Action goes on in- creasing in importance. With pub- lic ceremonies, processions, lectures, creation of new societies, it brings itself ever more before the public. Fascism is a powerful institution, but its chiefs are watchfully wait- ing. The moment the new move- ment rears its head in earnest, something is likely to happen.

Boatman Finds Body of Missing Jeweler REYKJAVIK, Iceland, May 2. - (IP)-Search for Augustine Court- auld, British explorer who is ma- rooned on the Greenland ice cap, moved toward its goal today by land, by sea, and by air. Capt. Albin Ahrenberg, Swedish flyer, landed here Friday night aft- er a flight from Bergen, Norway, via the Faroe islands. He hoped to resume his flight today.
