1900 Priests Slain,
ExiIed or Jailed by
Reds, Vatican Claims
by the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, July 27.-
Approximately 10000 Catholic
priests have been killed, made
prisoners or exiled by the Com
munist regimes of Russian satel-
-lites during the past five years,
the Vatican radio said today.
The radio broadcast its charges
in many languages, including
those of Iron Curtain countries.
1t said:
cat a time when the emissaries
of communism throughout the
world are talking OF what they
wish to call the campaign for
peace, it certainly is interesting
to note some statistics that show
what is thought of peace on the
other side of the Iron Curtain"
Peace Drive Hit.
This was a reference to the
worldwide Communist drive to
obtain millions of signatures on
the Stockholm petition which calls
for outlawing the atom bomb.
The broadcast followed the ap-
peal of Pope Puis XII in an ency-
clical yesterday for prayers for
peace. The pontiff scored coun-
tries where mot truth but false
ness is presented under a certain
guise of reason" and in which
disturbances and disorders are
provoked" ...
The Vatican broadcast listed
the number of priests slain, jailed,
exiled and impeded in their min
istries in each of several European
countries.
Figures Broken Down.
In the Ukraine alone, since 1945,
more than 5000 priests have been
killed and 1000 churches and
chapels closed or razed, the radio
said.
The following figures were given
foor ther countries:
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania-
1000 priests killed or jailed.
Poland, 900 priests deported
(usua1ly to Siberia).
Czechoslovakia - 800 secular
priests jailed, the number of
regular priests who met the same
fate unknown.
Hungary-About 1000 religious
(priests and nuns0 jailed, 538 put
to death or deported, another $50
religious persons removed from
their ministries.
700 in Romania.
Romania-More than TOO priests
victims of religious prosecutions.
Bulgaria-120 priests arrested or
exiled.
Yugoslavia-1,954 priests put to
death, arrested or deported while
another 400 sought refuge abroad.
Albania-715 ecclesiasticals. in
cluding all of the country's
bishops, impeded from conducting
their ministries.

Three men-President Truman,
Senator Taft and Bernard Baruch
have different ideas on what we
must do in rearming.
Mr.. Truman has asked Congress
for some-but not all-out-Gov-
ernment controls. Senator Taft,
Ohio Republican thinks Mr.. Tru-
man is going too far. Mr.. Baruch
doesn't think the President is
going far enough.
Mr.. Truman and Senator Taft
are hoping things won't get worse
at least soon. Mr.. Baruch wants
to take no chances on things get
ting better. He wants the country
fully prepared and modified to
meet the worst.
Time will show which is right.
This country's fate may depend
on the answer. No one here can
predict it.
Mr.. Truman has asked Con-
gress to give the Government
power to do these things:
Raise taxes; control all credit
buying, and grant wide controls
over business and industry.
The President stopped there.
He didn't ask for controls over
prices and wages or for power to
ration goods and food. He said.
though, he'd ask for them if he
thought it necessary.
The Presidents feelings may be
summed up in the following state
ment he made to Congress yester-
day:
THE world responsibilities of
the United States will become
sti1 heavier before the united
efforts of the, free nations of the
world produce a lasting peace"

Is American Divisions
Could Whip Reds in
Korea, Gen. Gay Says
BY Don Whitehead
..soeio,.d Pres. War Correspondent


WITH UNITED STATES
TROOPS IN KOREA, July 81
Maj. Gen. Hobart r. Gay said
yesterday that six American divi-
sions could whip the North Ko-
rean Communist army and walk
to Seoul as fast as we could re-
pair the bridges"
Gen. Gay, commanding general
of the 1st Cavalry Division, said
American forces now are in better
defensive positions and will be
able to put up a stronger fight.
He was chief of staff for Gen
George S. Patton's famous Sd
Army in its European campaign
He said one corps such as the
Sd Army had could lick the North
Koreans.
Gen. Gay said he was confident
American troops in combat in
Korea have hurt the Reds far
more than the Communists have
hurt the Americans.
ut couldn't be any other way
with all the artillery fire that has
been put on them," he added. 1--WE
shot more artillery at them in one
day than they have shot at us
during all this campaign"
Gen. Gay said Allied air support
given ground troops had been
wonderful. He added, God has
been good to us on the weather"
The general said he had heard
reports from the company level
that some of the North Korean
troops actually were japanese who
mad been captured in the last war
by the Russians. Gen. Gay said
he could not confirm this report.
No Japanese prisoners have been
taken, he said.
Heavy refugee movements
near the American battle sector
have been reported by air recon-
naissance. Gen. Gay said he was
certain that most of these refu-
gees were North Korean guer-
rillaS.

tive for the crime. Faranda was

as we can see, our present Situa-
tion may "exiSt for 10 years and
we may as well get adjusted tc
that idea, but he added, ''I am moi
at all confident that the Russians
contemplate an all-out military
attack at any time, or that there
is any certainty of a third world
war"
Although he agrees with the
President on the need to raise
taxes, Taft goes only part of the
way in thinking Mr.. Truman
ought to have all the control over
credit he requested. For example,
Senator Taft is opposed to giving
Mr.. Truman specific control over
credit in real estate deals.
AS for the general controls Mr.
Truman wants over business and
industry, Senator Taft says they
go much too far and are "arbi-
trary and dictatorial."
Mr.. Baruch, who has been an
economic adviser to several Pres
idents, wants about Government
controls at once, including con-
trolls on prices. wages and rents.
He said:
II propose that we organize our
Selves-all our resources of men,
money. materials, and morale-so
that whatever happens-new ag-
gressions abroad, possible destruc-
ton at home-whatever happens,
the armed forces can get what
they need, when they need it, with
the least necessary dislocation of
the civilians -.
"It is the choice of peace or
butter of mobilizing our strength
now, while peace can still be
saved, or of clinging to petty
wants and petty profits. imperiling
our freedom and our civilization. y

Army Maintains Right
To Call Ex-0fficers
|0ufside Reserve
By George Beveridae

+ Ine ARMY Is pTeGCy sure IL mas
a vast pool Of officers who
whether they ever are tabled for
active duty or not-still are tech
nically liable for call.
The pool, many thousands
strong, consists of World War II
Army officers (including the old
Air Corps. long since returned to
civilian life, who never have joined
reserve or National Guard units.
The Army's legal officials have
ruled that nearly all these wartime
commissions still are in effect.
Touchy Legal Point.
But a touchy legal point, some
military officials said. leaves at
least a question of doubt. The
point is the legislative authority
under which the commissions were
issued.
Commissions were authorized
and some were issued, officials
said, under a joint resolution o1
Congress in September. 1941. But
a later law which went into effect
in 1948 wiped off the books this
resolution-and the commissions
with 1t.
The Army's official ruling, how
ever, is that all commissions is
sued in the Army Of the United
States after Pearl Harbor-De-
cember Z, 1941-were issued under
another law, the National Defense
Act. This is long-standine
statute, providing that the COM
missions remain in effect until
the end of the war plus six months
Never Declared Ended.
Since the war has never been
declared ended, officials explained
the Army holds that these COM
missions are still valid. Included
are the vast majority of direct
wartime commissions, as we'll as
those from officer candidate
schools.
Letters of commission which
went out to OCS graduates ano
others during the war did not
specify legislative authority. Al
things stand, therefore, then
status rests on the Army's wore
that they're still officers.
During the 1945-46 demobiliza-
ton period, Air Corps officers were
members of the Army. just as were
officers of the Signal Corps, In
fantry and other branches.
So their records, too, officials
said. are Jumped with those oi
thousands of others who never
have joined reserve units in the
general Army pool of Officers
AUS"
WACs In Same Status.
Wartime WACs, nurses ane
other woman officers in similar
status no longer are under any
obligation for services, officials
said, due to changes in laws under
which they were commissioned.
There is no present plan, off.
cials said, for the Army to dir
into this large pool of officers. I
it does. they pointed out, the loss
of contact with the officers during
the last five years will present 9
tremendous administrative prob
lem.
The Air Force, meanwhile, ir
conjunction with Army legal au.
thorities, is studying the entire
question of legislative authority, 8
