had been taken from the state pay
roll for "anti-democratic activity" J"
About 8 per cent of Romanians
are Catholics. About 10 per cent
of the population belongs to the
National Romanian Orthodox
Church. The government has
seized church properties for re-
distribution to the peasantry, and
for the most part social welfare
institutions have been taken over
by the state. Religious publica-
tions are restricted and religious
meetings are under the super
vision of the Ministry of Interior.
All Property Seized.
All property of the Uniate
Catholic Church has been seized
by the government by decree of
last December. The Uniate
Church uses the Romanian lang
uage rite rather than the Latin
rite but gives allegiance to the
Vatican.
Vatican sources have charged
that two leading bishops of the
Uniate Church were tortured by
Communist officials in efforts to
break their allegiance to the Pope.
The suorces said the Romanian
government is bent on wiping out
Catholics by any means Of terror
and oppression. ].

B. & 0. Train Derai|ed
In West Virginia;
Several Are Injured
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BERKELEY SPRINGS, w. Va.
Aug. -Four passenger cars left
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks yesterday as the Chicago
Express highballed along a
straight stretch in the mountains
at so miles an hour.
L. r. Jones. division traffic
superintendent for Western Union
in Baltimore, was the only one
injured badly enough to be taken
of the train. He was treated at
Berkeley Springs Hospital and re-
turned to Baltimore on another
train.
Other passengers received treat
ment on the spot for minor in
juries.
Two Cars Overturn.
The last four cars of the west
bond New York-Chicago train
were involved. fSe last two, both
Pullmans, overturned. The two
preceding them, both coaches, left
the rails but remained upright.
Conductor H. c. Miller of Balti-
more said he was standing in the
rear car when it lurched suddenly,
throwing him to the floor. He
said it continued upright for a
time, then turned over.
Two tracks of the three track
main line were torn up, one for
as much as $50 feet. Passenger
trains continued to move over
the third track with slight delays,
but freight traffic on the line was
held up considerably.
Both the torn-up tracks were
placed back in service early today.
Broken Rail Suspected.
State police and railroad OFF,
cials indicated a broken rail prob
ably was the cause of the wreck.
B. g. o. headquarters said track
condition apparently was to
blame, but the cause cannot be
determined definitely until more
thorough investigation.
The engine and the four cars
that remained on the rails pro-
ceeded into Cumberland, where
physicians checked the passengers.
No one was removed from the
train there, observers said.
The train left Washington at
l pm. The accident occurred
about $40 pm.

Alexandra Seminary
Gets 100000 Gift fol-
Building Program

A gift of 100000 to the Vir-
ginia Theological Seminary at
Alexandria for it's building pro-
gram was announced today by
Dean Alexander Zabriskie.
The Old Dominion Foundation
and the Avalon Foundation each
contributed s15O,OOO to the dona-
ton. Paul Mellon, head Of the
Old Dominion Foundation. offered
wishes for success of the building
program from both foundations
Dean Zabriskie said Mr.. Mellon
was largely responsible for the
Old Dominion donation. and Mrs.
Ailsa M. Bruce for the other por-
tiou Of, the gift. :, Mrs Bruce Us
Paul Melons sister.
The seminary plans to use the
money to build a new central din
ing haH and kitcheus Dean "a
brlskie said. Threes~new dorm
itory buildings are expected to be
ready for occupancy this fall
Even with the new additions. the
seminary still will be able to ac-
cept only about 40 per cent OF
nearly 200 applicants for the fall
semester, Dean Zabriskie said.
The dean said a principal rea-
son for the shortage of Protestant
Episcopal clergymen has been the
lack of seminary facilities. He
said bishops estimate they could
place 1000 new ministers in the
next five years.
In addition to the three new
dormitories and new dining hall
kitchen, the seminary also will
have fourth new dormitory
ready in 1850.
