Persecution of the Church
Of the 652 clergymen in the
diocese of Maribor, SOB Of them
were,arrested on the very first
day Of the occupation. The i'm
prisoned priests were subjected
to the greatest humiliation, as
we recounted in a previous
chapter. They beat a 76-year
old Jesuit in prison so severely
that he died of injuries a few
days later. The priests that are
still at liberty may perform
their pastoral duties in a very
limited sphere. On the German
occupied territory, all monks
without exception were driven
out and their buildings and
estates confiscated. Likewise
most of the other church prop
erty has been confiscated and
is now occupied by district Of
fees, gendarmes and teachers.
Acts of sacrilege in the con-
secrated edifices are common.
Reports speak of many violent
interferences with church SER
vices; chapels have been chang
ed into dance halls; consecrat-
ed hosts have been desecrated
chalices have been used for Sec
ular purposes, crucifixes have
been defiled, etc. Some his
torically artistic churches have
been blown up with dynamite.
By legal decree, all Slovene
inscriptions in churches and in
cemeteries had to be removed
and replaced by German in
scriptions. Then there was is
sued the ban on the use of the
Slovene language at church
services and at public prayer
meetings., then the ban on Slo-
vene church singing, which had
reached a very high level
throughout Slovenia, and fl
nally, the ban on Slovene ser.
mons.

the Italians disbanded the Old
Catholic Church and closed the
diocesan vicariate which was
under the diocesan curia at
Zagreb. The reason given by
the Italians for disbanding this
church body was that it per.
mitted divorce in marital rela.
tons. This, they said, was Diet.
rimental to the public order OF
the Italian State.

great pepper-upper. It's too bad
that it is also a dangerous
dragger-downer. It's both a
public recreation and a public
menace. The Greater Cleveland
Safety Council asks: Will you
do your part to prevent SWIM
ming accidents this summer?
Swim only at guarded pools
and beaches. And don't take
chances!
Pedestrians, the Greater Gle
veland Safety Council says that
crossing a street etween inter-
sections is one of the most COM
mon causes of pedestrian acct
dents. Walk a few steps to the
corner to cross. You may lose a
few seconds of your time-but
you may save years of your life.
Pooling car rides is helping
overcome a critical home front
transportation problem. But
the Greater Cleveland Safety
Council reminds those who
drive the cars that they can
overdo a good thing by over
loading their cars to the point
where their driving is handi-
capped. Fill your car for vic
tony's sake, but don't overfill it
for safety's sake.
The army recently tested one
hundred and fifty recruits, all
of whom had been driving for
years, and found that only
forty of them were worth train
ing to drive army cars and
trucks, the Greater Cleveland
Safety Council reports.
The army can't afford to take
chances. Neither can you and
I when there's a war to win!
The Council suggests that you
start right now learning to be,
a better-and more careful
driver. You'll enjoy it more
and you'll be saving yourself
and your car for your country.

tive. It was reported that the com- pany officials was amenable toward the agreement.
 It has not been disclosed that any further discussion took place as to the recent lay-offs of some of the higher-ups in the concern such as John J. Kearney, former sales man. ager, and Republican mayoralty candidate, and others. It was after this move that the employees called in the union for advice because of the prevalent fee1ing that their po- sitions were likewise insecure and the persistence of the rumorS that the concern was to be sold.
 It is pointed out that the agree ment signed at the meeting will in no way bind the company officials to any contract of faon-sale. How ever, MT. Phillips statement that he would not pc signing it if it was planned to dispose of the con- cern seems to have assured the em- ploye representatives that future operations will continue as in the past.
 The local concern now known as the E. J. Manville Co. of Delaware is controlled by New York interests, headed by MT. Phillips and com- priSing others as Carl Kraft. vice president, and J. Leonard Probst. treasurer. It is understood that Mir. Probst is the original purchaser of the concern.
