have gone over to the Separate
Catholic Action Society founded
by the Communists.
Archbishop Beran and the Vati-
can have branded the group
fraudulent and pronounced ex-
communication upon the group s
instigators and followers.
Zapotocky claimed the govern
ment is insuring religious freedom
and accused the Catholic hier-
archy of rejecting a fair church
state agreement. The archbishop
has denied this. He charges the
Communists aim to enslave the
church.
Prior to Zapotocky's attack the
government accused Archbishop
Beran of antistate activity because
of his defiant speeches over the
past week end.
For the past week the stocky 60
year -old Catholic leader has been
in semicaptivity In his Prague pal
ace. Government agents raided
the consistory and seized church
records. Security police manned
the palace gates and telephone
switchboard. Most palace callers
were refused admission.
Saturday night the archbishop
left his residence and drove to
Strahov Monastery. He told his
congregation. Il come to you and
swear to you that I will never sign
an agreement that violates the
laws of the church."
The following day he appeared
at st. Vitus Cathedral. He had
hardly begun his sermon when he
was hooted down by bands OF
hecklers.

to smuggle out Of the palace q

Cardinals Secretary
Denies He Advocates
Controlled Schools
BY fhs Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK. June GA
spokesman for Francis Cardinal
spellman says ut is fallacious and
false to infer that the Cardinal
advocates for the United States a
public-supported and church-con-
trolled school system"
The statement was made yester-
day by Msgr. John 8. Middleton.
the Cardinals secretary for edu-
cation, In connection with the
controversy over a pending bill
for federal aid TO education now
in House Committee.
The statement was in reply to
comments in Washington Monday
by Glenn L. Archer. executive di-
rector of Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separation
OF Church and State.
On Sunday, Cardinal Spellman
had said that the sponsor Of the
bill, Representative Barden. Dem
ocrat. of North Carolina, Is "an
apostle of bigotry." The bill.
providing $500, 900, 900 a year in
Federal aid to public schools only,
would not permit use of any OF
the money for transportation or
health services.
Mr.. Archer, calling Cardinal
Spellmans comments about Mr..
Barden and his bill unfair and
un-American," asked:
Does the Cardinal wish to fas-
ten upon this Nation a pattern
of public supported and church
controlled education from which
our forefathers fed. and from
which millions Of Europeans, in
cluding Roman Catholics, demand
to be freed?"
Answering Mr.. Archer's state
ment, Msgr. Middleton said:
"The cardinal is opposed to a
public-supported and exclusively
State controlled school system.
This is tyrannical totalitarian uni
formity and not American unity.
THE philosophy behind the
Barden bill, whether its author
or defenders intended so or not.
is that the only truly American
school is the public unsupported
school. This is not true.
THE right Of parents to send
thkr children to parochial and
independent schools was many
years ago decided by the highest
court in our land"

Josef Cardinal MindSzenty was
accused of anti-state activity and
later tried and sentenced to life

February. Vatican sources have
linked that case to the Beran issue

Zapotocky referred to Arch
bishop Beran by name and linked
the archbishop with other church
dignitaries. He accused them OF
working with the enemies Of the
republic aboard" in attempts tc
disrupt peace and quite and dis
tract citizens from their diligent
work in the construction Of peo-
Piles democratic republic and the

The Premier said the Govern

and tolerance up to now" but
that it would not stand fol
