Detroit Writer Tells of Tito's
Persecution of SIav Catholics

DETROIT INC There is
no religious fre d o m in Tito's
Yugoslavia. There is no h ! n 6
there that would even resemble
the religious freedom found in the
United States or Canada"
This assertion was made by
woman who visited Yugoslavia last
spring and who receives letters
regularly from friends and rela-
tives in that country.
Mrs. Louis Krek, writing in The
Detroit Net0s. took issue with
statements made in an earlier
letter by w. A. Shannon of Lon
don, Ont. Mr.. Shannon said he
visited Yugoslayia in July, 1851,
and found many churches, mostly
Roman Catholic open every
where | went" Mr.. Shannon said
he could not understand the recent
statement of His Emminence Alloy
sius Cardinal Stepinac, Archbishop
OF Zagreb, that religious freedt m
in Yugoslavia is zero.
Mrs. Krek said she and her
husband are natives of Croatia, a
part of Yugoslavia, and they visited
Yugoslavia for six weeks starting
last April. She said they visited
relatives and friends, talked freely
with many professional persons
and peasants. She detailed as
follows what we saw and learned:
Hundreds of priests, Catholic
and Orthodox, are in Jail or con-
centration camps. There isn't q
single convent. All SiSterS-the
Krek's niece among them-have
been forbidden to wear religious
garb and told to go home to their
relatives. Most converts h ave
been taken over by the govern
ment
THE pastor of our native towns )
parish said he re eceived strict
orders not to teach religion except
the Sunday sermon. He may not
conduct catechism classes in or
after school or in church. The
priest from the neighboring town
was in Jail for tax evasion.
No priest, parish or church gets
subsidies or government grants.
Priests are compelled by law to
report donations for Masses, fun
erals, weddings and the like. "On
trumped up charge our pastor
was fined 100000 dien lover
10000 and was told that if ne
did not pay it, he would be forced
to leave the parish and might be
sentenced to prison. The charge
was that he failed to report a
donation for a service"
In many sections of Yugoslavia
church property is taxed like
theaters. Failure to meet the
taxes means confiscation of pro-

a few weeklies and monthlies
which are limited in circulation.
There are no chaplains In the
army I'VE did not hear of or
see any seminaries and most mon
astic houses have been closed and
their property confiscated. On
Sundays, school children are urged
to attend picnics, parties and out
ings instead of going to Mass.
No priest or Sister is allowed
to enter a government school TO
teach religion. Teachers are for
hidden to mention God in school.

Air Force Accused Of False Report In Latest Incident

WASHINGTON, R- Sen. Elan ders R-VD says the Air Force probably meant to influence pub lie opinion in issuing what he termed a false report" about the mission of a US. plane fired on by a Soviet fighter off Siberia.
 Flanders told the Senate Friday he had reliable information that the American bomber would not have flown within 400 miles of Russian Kamchatka if it was on routine course.
 The Air Force said Friday it had nothing to add to its original an- nouncement except to emphasize the fact that at no time was the B-50 the US. plane) closer than 25 miles to Kamchatka, and was not in air space claimed to be under any national jurisdiction"
 The White House, Secretary of Defense Wilson and It. Gen. Jo- seph H. Atkinson, commander of the Alaska Defense Command, all declined comment.
 An Air Force announcement Tuesday said the Alaska-baSed US. craft was on ia routine weather reconnaissance flight" when the Soviet plane fired on it 25 miles east of the Siberian pen insula of Kamchatka.
 That reconnaissance bomber was not just there on weather busi- ness," Flanders said. Tt may nevertheless have been engaged on useful mission.
 ''The serious thing about this incident is the false report given to the American people by the Air Force. It tended and probably was intended to influence public opinion by making the third incl dent into an act of aggression"

$3 Million School Appropriation To Face Senate Test
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, tR - A bill for a $3,000,O00 appropriation for school construction passed the Senate by a narrow squeeze late Saturday but 1t is due to return for a second run today.
 The Senate debated the issue at length, rejected a proposal by Sen. Mark Jensen, to raise the amount to four million and an- other by Sen. Howard Lyng to cut it to $1,5OO,0o0.
 Supporters argued the schools are the territory's greatest need and an election referendum show ed the people want action. All Third Division senators led in the debate for the full three million.
 Opponents contended that con- struction in boom times is not ad- visable and that the best overall procedure is to include an accept able item in the general appro- priations bill after the budget is framed.
 Meanwhile, the House passed a bill for varied salary increases for most territorial administrative heads and assistants after getting into hot wrangle over the Alaska Development Board head.
 The biggest boost approved is for the attorney general, from $10,O0O to $13,5OO. The Ways and Means Committee bill cut the De- velopment Board manager from the present $12,OOO to 5000. As finally approved the figure read $1O,8OO.
 House and Senate committees worked overtime on the budget bill, which is expected to total around 25 million dollars, and scheduled Sunday sessions to have it ready by Monday.

$56,5OO,OOO Pulp Plant Proposed to Use Alaska Timber
By FRANK w. VAILLE GAP Special Washington Service,


 Construction of $56,511, ,000 pulp and newsprint plant near Ju- neau has been proposed by the Georgia Pacific Company of New York.
 The proposed newsprint plant would include a chemical pulp plant, ground wood pulp plant, paper mill and power plant.
 It was the second recent devel- opment in use of Alaska's vast timber resources
 Pacific Northern Timber Co.,, of Portland, Ore, has received a certificate of necessity and been granted tax amortization on 40 percent of the proposed $4,502,5 ,570 cost of a saw mill and pulp chip plant near Wrangell, Alaska.
 Ira Mason, chief of the Forest Services timber management div ision, said both compainies have held discussions with the Forest Service but that progress has not developed to the stage where a block of timber has been set up for bid.
 Rep. Westland R-Wash) said all important West Coast cities north of San Francisco started their growth by the judicious use of timber resources, and added:
 Their is reason to believe that in the not too distant future the forests of Alaska, with assistance of capital from the United States, will supply lumber, pulp and paper for a multitude of consum- CTS throughout the world"
 Such developments as those proposed, he said, twill prove to be an effective answer to the feared possibility of Japanese ex- ploitation of these Alaska forests y
 This referred to hopes of the Japanese lumber industry to tap Alaska's forest resources as a means of bolstering it's own dwin- ding supply. Northwest lumber men have opposed the Japanese aim. The Alaska legislature, how ever, has endorsed it as a means of improving Alaska's economy.

Van Fleet Details US. Ammunition Shortages InKorea

WASHINGTON, R-Some sen- timent for more aggressive strat egy in the deadlocked Korean war was evident today among senators who heard Gen. James A. Van Fleet detail his complaints that American forces there don't have enough ammunition.
 Van. Fleet, former commander in Korea, called for .harder-hitting attacks on the Reds, but he said he doubts United Nations forces have enough ammunition to re- pei any major offensive the Com munists might mount.
 Sure, if there is sitdown and no fighting" Van Fleet said, "there is no ammunition. requirement; therefore, no shortage"
 But, he added, Should the en- emy start something, which is un- practicable, then do we have enough to meet his offensive, and I say No"
 Van Fleet said stocks were so low at times that he issued orders to cut down on artillery fire, and that the troops ''have to be in trouble in order to shoot" the heavier mortars and howitzers.
 The general spoke out in testi- mony heard by the Senate Armed Services Committee behind closed doors earlier this month. A trans cript, with security information deleted, was made public by the committee last night.
