Vatican.Expects Tito
To Free Archbishop
lin Bid 10 Join West
BY the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 4.-Vati-
can informants said yesterday
they expected Premier Marshal
Tito to release Archbishop Alojzijc
Stepinac, Yugoslavia's Catholic
primate. who was imprisoned in
1916.
These sources said that when
Tito is ready to turn finally to
the West, one of his first actions
will be to free the primate.
Commenting on the New York
World Telegram's report that the
imprisoned Archbishop OF Zagreb
will be released soon, these per-
sons said it was very plausible.
Sentenced to 16 Years.
The paper, in an article under
a Lake Success dateline, said a
number of United Nations dele
gates have been told informally OF
Tito's plans. The archbishop was
given a 16-year sentence on q
charge of collaboration with Nazis.
It was suggested that release
of Archbishop Stepinac now would
remove doubts among Western
statesmen whose support Tito Is
soliciting. 1t also might influ-
ence American Catholics.
A Yugoslav source in the Vati-
can said that Archbishop Stepi-
nae has been offered his freedom
twice in the past II months II
he would leave the country. But
he replied that he would return
to Zagreb.
Hurley Makes Report.
Nevertheless" this source OBJ
served, "his release is much talked
of in the Vatican and is ex-
pected."
Other Vatican informants re-
called that the regent of the
Apostolic Nunciature in Belgrade,
Bishop Patrick Hurley of st, Au-
gustine, Fla, made recent visit
here from Yugoslavia. The bish-
op conducted an inquiry into the
Stepinac arrest in 1916. Now he
is reported back in Belgrade.
