Eugene A. Philbin spoke with Archbishop John M. Farley, who suggested that President Roosevelt might send Pope Pius X a message on the occasion of the jubilee marking fifty years since he became a priest. The gesture would be appreciated not just in Rome, but by Catholics in the United States. Philbin hopes to visit when he is in Washington next Wednesday.
