Vatican press policy praised as humane war aid
The Vatican Information Bureau is lauded for efficient communication with war correspondents and families, relaying over 5 million messages to and from prisoners since its 1940s start. Bishop Alexander Evrienoff leads a growing, 300-strong team across 70 weekly broadcasts. The bureau uses cables and mail to reach the United States and coordinated with the Tokyo Apostolic Delegation for prisoner data. A separate Camden RCA-Victor night shift club story notes fines for casual absences.
