Czech Regime Usurps
Archbishop's S Duties
By the Associated Press

PRAGUE. CZechoSlOVakla, Sept
10.-Archbishop Josef Beran en-
phasized his defiance of Czecho-
slovakia's Communicated govern
ment today with a public charge
that a government agent has
been placed illegally in his Office
to take over his duties.
The spiritual leader of Czecho-
slovakia's S 9,0O0,000 Roman Cath
olics made the accusation in a
protest letter sent to the govern
ment Ministry of Education from
his photographed palace, where
he says he has been interned since
June 10.
Church circles gave copies of
the letter, dated August 10. to the
Western press today. Similar ut
terances of the archbishop have
been made public in the same
fashion in the past three months.
At the same time. the govern
ment. through its Vatican-de-
nounced Catholic Action commit
tee, began a billboard campaign
to WOO Catholics away from
church leaders.
In posters plastered around this
capital city. the committee said
it was not hostile to the church,
but merely carrying on IAN hon.
orable fight against the in
ternal and external enemies of
the holy church"
This attack was aimed at Arch
bishop Beran and his hierarchy
accused of frustrating a church.
state agreement.
Another development on the
state-church front was the re-
ported arrest Of two Roman Cath
olic monks on a charge of har-
boring a fugitive school teacher
hunted by police for embezzlement
and anti-state activities.
The newspaper Mlada Fronta,
organ of the Czechoslavak Youth
Front, said the priests would be
tried along with the fugitive and
his woman companion. The paper
quoted police as saying the priests
had admitted their guilt.
Archbishop Beran charged in
his letter that DR.. Miroslav Hous-
ka. an agent of the Ministry of
Education. was sitting in the
seized administrative Offices of
the archbishop's palace and per
forming the duties of the arch
bishop"
This means the government was
guilty Of double e-dealing and
breaking constitutional laws, the
prelate said.
The archbishop wrote that when
police and agents of the Ministry
Of Education seized his consistory
administrative office) Vim June
and installed DR.. Houska they de-
