Polish Regime Forbids
Catholic Priests 10
Excommunicate Reds
By the Associated Press

WARSAW. Poland, July 81
The Polish government moved to-
day to prevent enforcement here
of the Vatican's accommodation
decree against Communists. At the
same time. it announced accept
ance of a church proposal to ne
gotiate a church-state agreement.
The government forbade Catho-
lie priests to excommunicate any
Pole belonging to the Communist
Party, denouncing as an "act Of
aggression" against Poland the
Vatican's decree threatening eX-
communication.
The Communist government S
statement was the first news given
to Polish citizens by their news
papers and radio about the Vati-
can decree.
At the same time the govern
ment announced 1t had agreed to
a proposal by the Roman Catholic
hierarchy in Poland Ito start ne
gotiations between the govern
ment and the episcopate aiming
at a settlement of mutual rela-
tons"
Regarded As Victory.
The announcement came from
the Ministry Of Public Admins
tration and was regarded by the
government as a victory in the
conflict between church and state.
The government had insisted
that the church hierarchy stop
it's "anti-state" activities before
discussing the problem of rela-
tons. The church had countered
with demands for full freedom In
its activities.
Now the church apparently has
acceded to the governments de-
mands. The church's full pro-
posals for negotiations were not
disclosed.
The government called the Vat
lean decree "a brutal violation
Of the religious feelings of be-
levers" that could neither be. en-
forced nor propagated in Poland
because it contravened national
law and order.
Called "Act of Aggression"
1t charged the Holy Sees order
constituted a facsimile of the
North Atlantic Pact and other
acts of political aggression"
The statement said Commu-
nists and "other democratic par
ties form the backbone of the
new Poland and that discrim-
nation against Communist men,
bers is an attack against the
peoples state"
In the face of this "act OF ag-
erosion" the government con-
cluded, it expects "the whole Of
the enlightened clergy to adopt
a patriotic attitude"

Italian Senators Start
Debate on Atlantic Pact

ROME, July 27 (P.-Only one
of three Senators supported rati-
fcation at the opening debate on
the Atlantic Pact last night.
He was Christian Democrat

Italy could not be neutral in any
future war and therefore must
look to the pact for protection.
1T is not enough" he said,
"that neutrality should please us.
It would also have to please the
adversary"
Arturo Labriola, independent
with leftist leanings, said he
would vote against the pact, "be-
cause with the pact we become
allies of those who have devastated
our country"
Francesca Saverio Nitti. former
Premier, an anti-Fascist and
prominent postwar politician, who
opened the Senate debate, an

voting. He said:

A subcommittee staff official
said today that James v. Hunts
physician has notified the group
that Mr.. Hunt is i'll and may not
be able to testify for while. The
subcommittee had hoped to be-
gin hearings next week.
Mr.. Hunt, a self styled manage
ment counselor. has been named
as one who claimed influence with
Government officials in the award
ing of Federal contracts. He is a
former Army officer and a one
time War Assets Administration
employe. He has denied that he
ever sold influence.
Meanwhile. Republican Sena-
tors Ferguson, of Michigan and
Mundt of South Dakota decided
to team up in writing legislation
designed to discourage the activi-
ties OF five percenters."
Senator Ferguson has been at
work on a bill which would make
1t criminal offense for persons
obtaining Government contracts
to conceal any help they get from
men who Charge a commission for
such aid.
The fee usually is per cent Of
the gross proceeds from the con-
tract. That practice in itself is
not illegal.

that the Government set up a

ready has passed the measure.
Whether this means the Senate
leadership will resist the move to
amend the top-bracket measure by

classification bill for the rest of the
Governments employees remains
to be seen. There is a drive In
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee to combine the bills.
Incidentally. the civil service
group will meet tomorrow on the
general Redistribution legislation
drafted by its subcommittee.
PAY-Speaking of the reclas-
sification legislation, the regular
Federal employe groups will get
their chance to testify before the
House Civil Service Committee
next Tuesday. The postal groups
are testifying on the measure
this week.
Next Tuesday. James G. Yaden,
president of the AFL American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes. and Gertrude McNally,
secretary-treasurer of the indie
pendent National Federation of
Federal Employees, will appear be-
for the committee.
AS reported here yesterday. the
committee has speeded up its
hearings and definitely intends to
report a bill by August 8. This
sudden burst of speed by the
committee was occasioned by the
fact that the postal unions Sue
ceeded in getting the postal pay
measure discharged from the
committee.
If the committee reports it's own
by August 8 the bill will
have precedence over the dis
charged measure. Chairman Muir
ray says the legislation will COM
bine pay Redistribution increases

Catholics Voting Red
But Rejecting Doctrine
Held Not Under Ban
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated rfess
VATICAN CITY, July 27.-The
Vatican newspaper said yesterday
that Catholics who support Com
munism with votes or money but
who reject its "materialistic anti
Christian" doctrine do not fall
under accommodation.
Such Catholics. however. were
warned by L'Osservatore Romano
in a lengthy frcnt-page editorial
of the serious evil they commit
by such practices.
Not a few Catholics sustain
Communism with their votes in
elections, with money donated to
the Communist press. with their
support in social or political dis
cussiofs, without wishing thereby
to adhere to materialistic and
anti-Christian doctrine of Com
munism." said the newspaper.
Therefore. they do not fall I'M
der accommodation.
But the church must seriously
warn these faithful of the serious
evil they commit with direct or
indirect contribution which they
give nearly every day to Com
munist parties, that is to say. the
enemies of God. of our Lord Jesus
Christ, of the Catholic Church"
The editorial was an analysis of
the recent order Of the Vatican
decreeing communication for
anti-Christian and materialistic
active Communists.
The newspaper said that not
only members of Communist par
ties but those who belong to such
organizations as Communist un-
ions and youth organizations come
under the penalty of the Vatican
decree.
The newspaper said the decree
makes plain that those who de-
fend and propagate the "materi-
alistic Christian doctrine of
Communism" fall without fail
into accommodation"
But the editorial called atten-
ton to the fact that in the coun-
tries of Western Europe-such as
Italy, Belgium and France-there
are mot a few Catholics who. de-
ceived by promises of Communist
chiefs. or moved by desire of So
cial reforms, favor Communism
without adopting its fundamen-
tai doctrine.
The newspaper said these do
not incur accommodation. but
the Holy See warns them of their
grave responsibility for support
given to logged enemies Of the
Christian religion, and of the dam
ger of poisoning their own intel
ligence with false ideas CONTINUE
ously spread by the Communist
press"
The newspaper said the Roman
Catholic Church is well aware
there are some faithful, who.
against their will, through moral,
and perhaps even physical vio-
lence. are forced to join the Com
munist Party. :.
1.-THE priest must, In such case,
be the judge of the circumstances
in which the penitent is forced
to accept the membership card
of the party, which deep in his
heart he detests and condemns"
This was an obvious reference
to the situation which the church
feels prevails in many of the COIN
tries which have Communicated

French Deputies Vote
Ratification Of Pact
In Uproarious Session.
BY the Associated Press

BY the As,oeiased Press
PARIS, July 27.-The French
National Assembly approved rati-
fication of the North Atlantic Pact
today by a 395-to-189 vote.
The Assembly voted for the
charter after an all-night session
marked by fist fights between
Communists and Rightists.
The pact now will go to the
Council of the Republic-the up
per house of Frances legislature
which is expected to give speedy
approval.
The vote was preceded by
stormy debate which brought tenn
pers to the boiling point. At one
stage. the legislators became so
uproarious it was necessary to
recess.
Lack of Arms Pledge Hit.
Proponents of the pact con-
tended that 1t is a defensive alli-
ance intended to protect member
nations from aggression.
The Communists charged it. is
q pact of aggression aimed against
Russia and that in signing it,
France would be led into war.
Most of the criticism, apart from
Red SHIPPING, came because no ex-
press provision was made for the
United States to supply military
aid to European countries imme-
diately.
Some speakers complained there
were no provisions to assure That
Germany would not be rearmed
and again become a military
menace to France.
Amendment Sought.
Following the vote Deputy Rene
Capitant-one of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's followers-proposed an
amendment to delay ratification
until France had obtained from
the United States precise details
on what arms and other material
would be furnished under the pact,
and details of what part France
will have in the defense organiza-
tons set up in the framework of
the pact.
Foreign Minister Robert Schu-
man said he conceded that Mr.
Capitant was fully justified in
worrying about such matters but
that the amendment would create
too many practical difficulties.
For one thing. Mr. Schumar
said, France could not ask the
United States for details about
arms until the American Congress
votes on the arms for Europe pro-
gram now before it.
However, Mr.. Schuman said,
the government was ready to &C
cept a mandate from the legisla-
ture under which it would SOL
EMMY declare at the moment of
ratification that the. pact would
not work without arms and an
efficient European defense setup. |
Appeased by this. the Assembly
voted down Mr. Capitant's amend
ment 348 to Sc. e
Ont of the last speakers was
jacques Duclos, Assembly spokes-
man for the Communists. a.. He
called the treaty an Sact~of1 servis'
tude and aggression which vio-I
1ates the United Nations charter
and is aimed against the U. s. S. r.
Duclos said the alliance was a
product of capitalism which is
preparing a war to save American
economy.
"A pact of war, a pact of reac-
ton, such is the Atlantic Pact"
Duclos declared.
