Czech Prosecutor
Asks Just Sentence
For Accused CIerics
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Dec.
IA prosecutor for Communist
led Czechoslovakia demanded "just
if severe" punishment today for
nine Catholic churchmen accused
of high treason and espionage.
Slim, dark haired DR.. Jan Fsjes
made the first statement for the
prosecution in the trial before
seven judges in Prague State
Court at Pankrac Prison.
The defendants-a bishop, two
abbots and other clergymen-
listened with bowed heads. Each
was wedged between two uni
formed policemen.
The state prosecutor told them:
Treason and espionage nave
been proved. E.. You became the
paid mercenaries of those Who are
preparing a new world war;
Assails War "InStigators."
To the six men and one woman
composing the black-robed court
he said:
Let your judgment show the
instigators of a new war. whether
they sit in Washington or Wall
Street or the Vatican, that our
struggle also consists of the eX-
posure and just if severe punish
ment of all those who have Of
tended against peace"
DR.. Fejes pictured the Vatican
as an enemy of progress since
the Middle Ages and as a present.

Press Foreign Correspond,


FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec.
Amy drastic American steps
against Communist China which
would risk war with Russia-such
as bombing Manchuria or using
the atom bomb-Seem likely to
win little European support.
This conclusion is obvious from
the reaction in the press, on the
street and in government quarters
to the news from Korea.
The plain fact is that Western
Europeans are scared-and with
reason. They feel like a holdup
victim who has a robbers gun at
his head and is urged to kick the
robber in the ShinS.
In this case the gun is the six
Soviet armies, backed by 1900
planes, which intelligence sources
estimate are ready in Eastern
Germany. Military men agree
these armies could overrun conti-
mental Europe almost at will.
Mostly Anti Communist.
On the whole, Western Europe
is anJi-C Communist. But with little
prospect of greatly improving his
military effectiveness soon, all a
European can see coming out OF
a war is more poverty, death,
ruined homes, ruthless occupation.
Such view was summed up by
a shivering. middle-aged woman
standing on the highway near
Frankfurt to thumb ride. With
her was her 6-year-old daughter.
She had plenty of troubles. She
had just escaped from the Soviet
zone two days before. She left
because her child was not getting
enough to eat. All she had was
hand satchel and the worn clothes
on her back. Even the child's
poor clothes had been given her
by sympathetic chaplain the
night before. She proudly showed
the threadbare American labels.
She had no Job, but hoped her
mother, near Munich, would take
in the child. She hated russians.
Her husband disappeared in Rus
sia.
But none of these troubles were
first in her mind. Her first ques-
ton was:
DO you think there will be
ware"
Perhaps" was the reply.
"Oh, mol It will be so terrible.
All will be kaput (f1nished),
she cried.

Military experts have estimated
that minimum Of 35 air-sup-
ported divisions is necessary to
hold Soviet attack. They say
As well-armored divisions would
deter an attack in the first place.
Western military men have
been aiming at a minimum of 35
fully equipped divisions for de-
fense of the Rhine line by 1858.
There are nine divisions of Allied
troops on hand now between the
Soviet armies and the Spanish
frontier.

Mr.. Coney has been farming
all his life. He started out for
himself in 1909 when his father
divided up his 440 acre farm
among his II children, giving each
one 40 acres.
For a while, Myrt raised cot
ton and corn on his share and
helped run the family grocery
store onthe side. Then he married
and he and his bride opened a
store of their own. The store and
40 acres kept them going, but
they wanted a larger farm.

Similar progress has been made
in too other Delta counties, Wash

County agent d. w. Lindsey of
Yazoo began the Negro extension
program in 1884.
The building was adopted as a
countrywide objective in 1949.
The Yazoo county Negro farm
bureau sponsored the effort.
A total Of $4984 was raised in
a drive with the cooperation of
Negro farmers, civic organizations
and business firms. This many was
used to buy a 80 by 80 foot build
ing site and to pay an architect.
Realizing that funds raised
would not be adequate to complete
the project, the Negro county
agents and a committee of II lead
ers presented the blue prints and
specification to the county board
of supervisors and asked for their
cooperation. In August, 1949, the
supervisors voted to construct the
building with public funds.

Jailed for 10 hours last week on

court.
Bartholomew, a witness in a

was sentenced to spend most of
the day in the parish prison.
During the short period of his
incarnation, Bartholomew shared
his wealth, or at least a part of
it, with prison inmates, buying
them candy, cigarettes and ice
cream.
The prisoners regretted the de-
parture of the man who played
God. For his kindness they well
coined him back.

Draw Up Plans To
Support Hospital
Foundation
BY Ramona Lowe


MIAMI, Fla. (ANP)- Plans to
support the National Hospital
foundation headed by the Rev.
Amos Carnegie are being drawn
up here by Negro leaders. The
foundation proposes to establish
a $50 bed hospital here with a
training school for nurses.
The hospital which will be erect
ed at a ocst Of 100000 will be
eligible for federal funds which
under the hospital survey and
construction act will lend SO per
cent of the building cost.
Officers of the committee en-
dorsing Rev. Carnegie's program
are the Rev. Theodore Gibson,
pastor of Christ Episcopal church
in Coconut Grove, chairman; The
Rev. Edward T. Graham, pastor
of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Mi
ami, treasurer; the Rev. Richard
DeVeaux, deacon of the American
Catholic church, secretary.
The Rev. Carnegie gave up his
church work to promote the
foundation which he hopes will
establish hospitals in every city
having Negro communities of 1O,-
900 or more.
In Miami $4,000 Negroes will
benefit by such a hospital who
now have the limited facilities of
Christian hospital, only Negro
hospital here, or the segregated
accommodations of the municipal
hospital. More than 800 students
in the Negro high schools have al
ready expressed a desire for
nurse training and so would be
benefited, according to Rev. Car
negie.
Sufficient money for the pro-
gram can be raised if every Ne
gro in the country will contribute
81 and the churches are expected
to spearhead such a drive. The
foundation according to the direct
or has the endorsement of so SEN
ators, 38 governors and 40 medi-
cal schools.

chance. With the help of their
county agent, they gradually in

and little by little, added to their

Today, they own 900 acres.
About half Of it is in woodland,
