LEGAL Actions as 127
Priests Pledge Loyalty
CIergymen Opposed New
Lows Under Pressure of
Hierarchy, Reds Say
BY the Associated Press


PRAGUE. Czechoslovakia, Oct
29.-Communist-led Czechoslova
kia today freed or halted legal
proceedings against 127 Roman
Catholic priests who had opposed
the government S new church con-
troll law.
An official announcement said
President Klement Gottwald had
decided on the action because the
priests had repented and promised
loyalty.
The government first announced
the action because the priests had
repented and promised loyalty.
The government first announced
that all 1877 had been released
fran prison. Later this was cor
rected to say that a majority of
the priests had been free during
legal proceedings" against them.
Presumably this meant that most
of them had not actually been
imprisoned.
ASKED for Amnesty
The governments first state
ment said the priests had opposed
the new control law because of
pressure from the church hier-
archy' but that in prison they
had proclaimed they wanted to
change their attitude, were sorry
for their acts and promised loyalty
to the Czechoslovak republic and
asked the president for amnesty"
Church sources have reported
about 300 priests under arrest for
voluntarily opposing the laws
passed October IA, which give a
government ministry control of
church finances, salaries, person
mel and administration.
Earlier this week the Czechoslo-
yak bishops retreated from their
opposition to the laws to the ex-
tent of allowing priests to take an
oath of loyalty to the Communist
goVernment-With reservations
and accept government salaries,
provided they advised their church
superiors.
Constitution Held Violated.
The bishops said they still con
sidered the laws violated the con-
stitution and church freedom, but
that it was necessary to protect
the priests from being sent to jail
so they could still attend to their
spiritual duties.
Previously Catholic sources had
reported about 30 per cent of the
nations 1000 priests signed volun-
tary statements they would go to
jail before accepting the control
laws.
Some of the amnestied priests
were released with ceremony at

prisoners just outside Prague
