and other members of the Spanish
government, and with Prof. Carl
ton j. H. Hayes, the American AM
bassador The New York arch
bishop was also scheduled to return
to Spain prior to leaving for Africa.
Developments In Hungary.
Meanwhile, there are new develop
ments in Hungary, where church
opposition to NaZi domination is in
creasing. Justinian Cardinal Sc
redi, primate of Hungary, Is reported
to have made two visits to the Vat
lean recently. Within the nation, a
movement for Catholic Protestant
collaboration in defense against
pagan and anti Christian forces has
been launched. A new magazine
called THE Way of Unity" has been
published under Franciscan auspices
to further Catholic Protestant rap
prochement. Bishop Ladislaus Ra-
vasz, one of the key figures of the
Reformed Church, has Endorsed the
unity efforts.
Contributions Increase.
Five major religious communions
in the United States and Canada
this week reported substantial in
creases in contributions. They are:
the Northern Baptist Convention,
the United Brethren Church, the
Missouri Lutheran Synod. the Re
formed Church, and the United
Church Of Canada.
The Northern Baptist Convention
announed that cash receipts for its
5000 900 World Emergency Fund are
now $4,000 over the total amount,
for which deadline has been set for
April 80. A 100000 fund will be in
augurated for the next fiscal year,
beginning May /, as well as a post
war rehabilitation fund of 81 900 900.
The board of administration of the
United Brethren Church announced
at its annual session at Dayton,
Ohio, that there has been a 81 per
cent gain in tithers and an increase
of $838,839 In church contributions
over the previous year, the total
received for all purposes being
$6,3O6, ,349.
Contributions to the Lutheran
Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
States have exceeded the denomi-
nations current budget by nearly
$4,000, it was reported by DR.. John
Behnken, national president. The
total budget amounted to 81 100 900.

Church in Grand Rapids. Mich, re-

been sentenced to death by the
Franco government.
The labor leader said the Jesuits
and various Catholic Action groups
are helping the Catholic hierarchy
to destroy the influence of the
Falange and thus free Spain from
Axis domination. Recent Vatican
denunciations of totalitarian doc
trines, Vega said, have intensified
the campaign of the Spanish
Church.
This creditable report confirms
previous indications that all is not
we'll in the relations between the
Catholic Church and the Franco
regime.
The church was major factor in
Francois rise to power. and it has
regained all of its old influence.
But religious leaders have viewed
with increasing concern the at
tempts Of the Falangists to ape the
Nazi-Fascist systems of government
and to drag the nation closer to war
on the side Of the Axis. Serrano
Suner, recently dismissed foreign
minister, who has incurred the re-
sentiment of church leaders and of
the Vatican, is the leading figure
in moves to tighten Axis control of
Spain.
Resent Church Influence.
Catholic leaders, it is believed,
hold Suner primarily responsible for
the anti-clerical tone Of the Falange.
This attitude may be inspired by
resentment Of the influence and
power held by the church. On the
other hand, the church undoubtedly
sees in the Falangist position a
token OF what might happen to 1t
If the Nazis should occupy Spain.
The present church stand may
also reflect, in part, the growingly
hostile attitude of the Spanish
masses toward azi-Falangist pol
icieS. The masses are said to have
become surprisingly articulate in
their criticism. Among the Basques
and Catalans, particularly, there Is
a seething animosity toward the
Franco regime. These two stoutly
Catholic groups have never favored
tine tot1litarian and centralist pro-
gram imposed by the Spanish
Rightists.
These developments give signifi-
canoe to the European visit of Arch
bishop Francis j. Speuman of New
York. One view of the archbishop's
trip is that, apart from the purely
religious phases, its main focus Is in
Spain, and is specifically concerned
with the question of Spanish neu-
trality. Archbishop Spellman stopped
In Spain on his way to the Vatican
