  The Pomeron, which dominates high energy elastic and diffractive hadronic
processes, must be largely gluonic in nature. We use a recent picture of a
scalar glueball/sigma system with coupling of the sigma to glue determined from
experiment to predict strong peripheral sigma production in the pp$\pi^0\pi^0$
and double sigma production in the pp$\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ channels.
