Joint Mass Today

ROME, Jan. 5-(P)-A joint mass for men who fought beside and against the Allies will mark celebration of the Epiphany in Rome Monday.

The mass, at the Piazza Venezia, will be specifically for 25 men who served with Mussolini's die-hard "Republican" army in northern Italy and 25 others who fought as Allied co-belligerents late in the war.

The newspaper Il Tempo, calling the service an "Epiphany of Reconciliation," said the invited Fascists had fought from conviction as sincerely as the pro-Allied soldiers.
