Peace effort in Italy sees more failure
Rome June 5 new efforts to solve the crisis between the Italian government and the Vatican failed to produce a settlement. Premier Mussolini offered to reopen Catholic clubs for women and girls but the Pope rejected it insisting all dissolved clubs be restored. Observatore Romano editorials demand proof that clubs were political and challenge Fascist respect for the Church. The Vatican press signals Mussolini must honor the Lateran treaty and protect the Pope from public offenses on Italian soil.

Professor Eckhard Unger of the University of Berlin questions the Biblical site of the Tower of Babel.

Foundations laid about 3000 B C and destroyed later. tablets from 229 B C onward support the monument’s existence.
