program of gradual Catholic
repression such as was done in
Czechoslovakia.
This would probably entail
abolishing the present partial
freedom to publish Catholic
newspapers, conduct Catholic
schools, and maintain and con-
troll church property. Most likely
it would also involve reducing the
number of Catholic seminaries
and confronting the clergy with
the alternative of openly support
ing the government or risking
wholesale persecution.
One fact that has made the
Communist task harder in Poland
has been that almost the entire
Polish population-96 per cent
is Catholic. This has made it i'm
possible for the Warsaw govern
ment to back any other denomina-
ton as kind of counter force, as
has been attempted in Romania,
Bulgaria and Hungary with the
Eastern Orthodox and Protestant
Churches.
Report on Estonia.
In EStonia, reports say that as
the result of ten years of Soviet
occupation religious freedom has
been destroyed and all clergymen
who have had the courage to re-
sist totalitarian measures have
been deported or imprisoned"
Religious courses have been
banned in the schools, the reports
stated, Christian holidays abol-
ished, Sabbath observances largely
prescribed, and churchgoers
branded as bourgeois national
lists" suspected of anti-government
attitudes.
In Estonia, as in Lithuania and
Latvia, the reports added, the in
doctrination of youth with Com
munist teachings has already
succeeded in weaving thousands
from their religious allegiance.

The Week in Religion
By RELIGIOUS News Service

A new Communist campaign
aimed against the authority and
prestige of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy is under way in Czecho-
slovakia, where Catholics number
two-thirds of the population.
In Bratislava last week three
Slovak bishops were condemned
to long prison terms after
widely -publicized trial in which
they were depicted as prominent
collaborators of the former Tiso
regime and spies for the Vatican
against the present Communist
government.
The Bratislava trial marked
the third time in less than a year
that a group of high-ranking
Catholic clerics have been sent to
prison as alleged traitors and
spies. Previously 19 other clergy
men, including a bishop in Mo-
ravia, were given prison terms.
Indications are that the trials
were engineered to weaken
popular faith in the Czechoslovak
hierarchy while the government
prepared to strike at Archbishop
Joseph Beran, the nations No. l
Catholic leader, and other power
full churchmen.
Trial of Beran Likely.
According to recent reports,
preparations have been under way
for some time for a public trial
of Archbishop Beran for treason
and espionage. The archbishop
has been under virtual house ar
rest since last June. His Office is
administered by state officials
who refuse access to any clergy
men suspected of having Grim
inal intentions toward the state.
The next step, already under
way, is to gain control of the
Bench of Bishops. This involves
removing "anti state" bishops
through treason trials and giving
encouragement and support to
such bishops as have shown a.
moderate" attitude and can be
recognized as leaders of the
church" for political purposes.
Pressure Increased in Poland.
In the meantime, the Catholic
church in Poland also faces in
creased Communist pressure.
The Communist newspapers
throughout Poland recently re-
opened their heavy campaign
against the Catholic hierarchy
for its alleged treason and war
mongering." A chief complaint
was that the hierarchy had failed
to place Polish bishops in charge
of five Polish German border
dioceses now under the control
of German bishops, according to
the terms of a church-s state
agreement signed last April.
There are signs that the Polish
regime is preparing to adopt a )

1t is probable that "The First
Legion, film version of the
Emmett Lavery play of the same
name, will appeal to a special
rather than the general audience.
The principal figures of the new
Trans-Lux film are the priests of
a Jesuit seminary and it deals in
faith and miracles, one apparent,
one real.
The predominantly male cast of
THE First Legion" is headed by
Charles Boyer, but his perform
Iance is only one of many marked
with warmth, sincerity and under
standing.
1t is something Of an engrossing
story told here by Mr.. Lavery
(who adapted his own play to the
screen) and Director Douglas Sirk.
It's a simple enough and straight
forward story without any subtle
ties. to be sure, but it's off the
beaten track and very little Holly
wood nonsense is allowed to in
ltrude.
1t gets down to business when
IA priest, bedridden for two years,
rises up and walks Just in time
to restore the faith of a back
sliding young Jesuit This is pro-
claimed a miracle and hopeful
pilgrims descend on the seminary
IN droves.
1t isn't a true miracle, though,
and the cynical doctor who has
Ilet it pass for one finally is pre-
vailed upon to tell the truth,
that the crippled priests ailment
has been mental rather than phys
ical and that hypnotic suggestion
rather than faith cured it.
The excitement dies down and
only one hopeful is left seeking
her own miracle. She is, ac-
Icording to the doctor, incurably
paralyzed by a severed spinal cord
and when her miracle does hap
pen it has a definite Hollywood
look about it. Still, having gotten
this far into his story, this is
about the only way Mr.. Lavery
could get out of it and it is not
enough to mar his arm-hearted
drama of faith.
The cast headed by Boyer plays
