Say Cardinals
Auxiliary Is
Jailed by Reds

LONDON -(Radio, Nc The
Polish communist regime has ar
rested Bishop Anton Barsniak
Auxiliary of Gniezno, according
to report published mere.
The arrest followed the banish-
ment of His Eminence Stefan Car
dinal WySzynSki, the primate of
Poland and Archbishop of Gneizno
and Warsaw, the report stated.
Consecrated a Bishop in July
1851, Bishop Baraniak accompani-
ed Cardinal WyszynSki to Rome
two years ago when the Primate
paid a visit to the Holy See. The
Bishop served as the Primate's
secretary at the time, post he
had also held with the late August
Cardinal Hl0nd, the former Polish
Primate. With his conservation,
Bishop Baraniak became Cardinal
Wyszynski'S Auxiliary.
The arrest of Bishop Baraniak
brings to ten the number of Bish-
ops whom the Polish regime now
holds in jail or has otherwise i'm
peded from exercising their office.

Austrian Bishops
Ask for Changes
In Marriage Law

VIENNA - In an effort to halt
grave moral dangers, the Austrian
Bishops have asked for revision of
a law which deprives widows draw
ing a state pension of such bene-
fits in case they remarry.
If nothing should be done, the
Bishops warn, they may be forced
to consider steps contravening the
existing state laws which make a
civil marriage obligatory before a
religious marriage ceremony is per-
formed.
The request of the Bishops was
submitted to the Austrian govern
ment in a letter signed by Coadju-
tor-Archbishop Franz Jachym of
Vienna, who is secretary of the
Austrian Bishops conference. The
letter points out that the existing
regulations cause many widows
particularly young war widows
to live in concubinage. Others, the
Bishops say, who are too conScien-
tiouS to enter an illicit union, are
compelled to remain single for the
rest of their lives because they
cannot find a prospective husband
who earns enough TO marry a wom-
an who has no income of her own.
Therefore, the letter continues,
the existing law should either be
repealed or revised so as not to
deprive remarked widow OF her
pension unless her and her huS-
bands combined income exceeds
the minimum subsistence level.
If the State should fail TO rem
edy truly intolersble situation
the letter says, the Bishops would
regard it as their duty to consider
further steps, regardless of the re-
Sulting conflict with existing state
marriage laws. They would have to
instruct priests to examine, in ac-
cordance with Church laws, each
case CO a pensioned widow desir-
ing to remarry and not to refuse
nuptiaI blessing in cases where
they find that loss of the pension
would entail real hardship for the
woman or make her marriage i'm
possible.

closed himself as q man with the
romantic name of Jean Pierre La
fitte who was a gatherer of infor-
nation for the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation. The name sake of
the famous New Orleans pirate,
patriot and Smuggler appeared in
Federal Court here and testified
for the prosecution in the widely
publicized painting theft case.
On trial are two former law en-
forcement agents, Norton |. Kret-
ske, onetime Assistant US. Attor-
ney here, and Joseph De Pietro,
erstwhile court bailiff.
In a thick French accent, La
fitte told the following closk-snd-
dagger story:
He journeyed to New York and
registered at a hotel under the
name of "Gus Manoleti." He wait
ed until he received a phone call
from Chicago asking him 10 come
there and do business" with a
man who had "hot" picture. He
took a plane to Chicago, where he
contacted Kretske and De Pietro.
KretSke disclosed that he had q
number of masterpiece paintings
to sell for $4,000. The paintings,
experts have said are priceless
but for the purposes of the Grim
inal court procedure a valuation
''in excess of $4,000 each" was
placed upon the paintings)
Lafitte told the court that he
