SANCTUARY GIVEN IN VATICAN
AID TO BRITONS DURING OCCUPATION OF ROME
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, December 14. During the German occupation of Rome every cardinal’s room in the Vatican was occupied by British soldiers in hiding, said the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham (Monsignor Joseph J. Masterton). He said that one of the principal Catholics at the Vatican helping British soldiers was Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty. The Gestapo chief in Rome, after he was arrested, told Monsignor O’Flaherty that had he been captured he would surely have been executed.
