Title: New Spanish church stresses simplicity.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31816 NEW SPANISH CHURCH STRESSES SIMPLICITY VITORIA, Spain -- A plain curving wall and gently pitched roof are marks of simplicity reflected in the interior of the new Roman Catholic Church of the Coronation of Our Lady at Vitoria, Spain. The solid structure, of local stone exterior and white concrete-walled interior, has a low block altar dominated by a dramatic, modernistic crucifix hanging on slender wires. With its bell-tower, which rises on four slim concrete columns, the church stands in sharp contrast to more conventional surrounding structures. The church is one of several featured in the new Holt, Rinehart and Winston volume, “New Churches of Europe,” by G.E. Kidder Smith, architectural historian and photographer.

Title: Reopened as German Catholic school.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: REOPENED AS GERMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL #C-4870 BERLIN -- Famed Ettal Cloister, a magnificent Catholic monastery high in the Bavarian mountains founded in 1330 by Emperor Ludvig, has been reopened as a school to train teachers as part of the long range de-Nazification policy now in effect in Germany. Since 1905 the monastery fathers have devoted most of their time to the education of young boys but their work was interrupted when the Hitler SS confiscated the building and grounds at the outbreak of the war.
