London says the palace status will be settled diplomatically, while critics abroad denounce the action. In Rome the issue sparks sharp criticism of Britain. In New York, Dr. Charles Horace Mayo, famed Minnesota surgeon, underwent appendicitis surgery and had a favorable night and improving condition.
