Hungary's Catholics were threat
ened today with what appeared to
be new government campaign
against their church. Criticism
was levelled. too. at segments OF
the Jewish and Protestant reli-
gions in the country.
Minister of Education Josef
Revai. deputy secretary-general OF
the Hungarian Communist Party
and o member Of its Politburo.
attacked the Vatican-led Catholic
clergy as an "imperialist agency"
He said the teaching Of religion
probably would be abolished in
secondary schools.
Catholics. he said. had abused
the loyal and patient attitude OF
the government and the Com
munisp party toward religious
education"
Hits Jews and ProteStantS.
The minister's statement was
published in the press as the text
Of a recent speech. In 1t he also
attacked certain elements of the
Jewish church for supporting
|reactionary ZioniSm" and pre-
dicted an increased f1ght" against
such servants of American i'm
perialiSm" as the Baptist and
Adventist Protestant groups,
I'VE are by no means willing
to encourage the export OF hun
dreds and thousands to be ex-
plotted in Palestine" Revai said.
Two small groups Of Jewish
emigrantS already have left Hun
gary for Israel. Recently nego-
tiations were reported under way
between the Israeli and Hun
garian governments for a possible
Ilarge-scale emigration Of Jews.
Bishops Attacked.
Revai bitterly denounced his
country's bench of Catholic biSh-
ops for Jesuit prevarications" in
not unqualifledly indorsing the
lanti-atom bomb declaration Of the
Stockholm congress of the Com
munist-ledD World Partisans Of
Peace.
He also attacked Catholic lead
ers for refusing to take an oath
of allegiance to the government
on grounds they needed permiS-
sion from the Vatican.
Revai told Communist Party
members their children should not
attend religious instructions or
church ceremonies.
His statement was made after
a recent concerted attack by the
Hungarian press on the "reac-
tionary activities" of Catholic
priests and bishops. The clergy
had been asSailed particularly as

dorse the Stockholm peace decla-

French Social Securit)
Vote tomorrow 10
Test Reds STRENGTH

| PARIS. June z (CDN ALI
France is keyed up on the eve
Of labor's vote to select key men
in this nations 20-year -old social
security system.
In a battle Of ballots Commu-
nists viii seek control tomorrow
Of what is in fact Frances biggest
political plum next TO government
control.
A total Of million out of IL
million wage-earners will vote for
membership in social security
administrative boards. As the
first such election since the Com
munist-controlled General Confed-
Grafton Of Labor (CGT) split into
Red and non-Red factions after
the abortive November. 1947,
strikes, it will serve as a test of
union strength and also of Com
munist influence over Frenchmen
generally.
Feverish Activity.
Communist shock battalions are
engaged in feverish all-out effort
to win those command posts"
What Frenchmen stand to face
If the CGT comes up on top can
be realized from the advantages
social security control offers:
l. Administration of Frances
most important budget next to
the national.
2. Dictation as to what propor-
ton and what categories of work.
ers may be pensioned.
3. Possession of the most formi-
dable means of political pressure
over the masses of any party in
France.
4. Means of political blackmail
over the government itself.
S. Disposition Of large amounts
OF public funds and an important
number of well-paid and virtually
permanent jobs.
Expanded Under Blum.
Inaugurated in 1890 and ex-
panded under Leon Blum's 1885
Socialist regime. French social Sc
curity ranks third in size in Eu-
rope after Britain's and Ger
many's. Its total budget Of $50
billion francs. or near $1.3 billion,
is split into three sections to
cover: (A) insurance for illness,
disability and maternity, old-age
pensions and burial payments, (B)
accidents at work and Co family
allowances. Its latest balance
shows receipts of SLAB billion, or
some 5 billion francs over ex-
penses.
While it is hazardous to predict
tomorrow's outcome. the Commu-
niSts show superiority of campaign
tactics over those of the adver-
Saries.
Clever Slogans Put Up.
Party posters all over Paris
streets shout the wisdom of their
policy with cleverly chosen slo-
gans. These call for social security
to:
/. Pay all expenses incurred
from illness. At present the in
sured worker gets back only 80 per
cent. But even that is theoretical.
First he pays his doctor, then isl
reimbursed 80 per cent but out of
that has to pay for his own medi-
cine. <,S-
2. Increase pensions of retired
workers from $4,000 francs ($12O)
to $4,000 ($17O a year.
8. Up unemployment dole from
so cents to 81 O. days. n
Against this powerful bait, the
non Communists merely ask for
vague general reforms of the
social security structure hardly
calculated to excite worker en-
thusiasm.
