"He was a stern, uncompro-
missing man of the highest moral
principles and integrity" he told
the House.
"He was afraid of nothing on
earth and he would not deviate
one iota from what he believed

There were many persons at
that time who tried to persuade
him to steer a middle course with
the Communists but he fought
them as outspokenly as he knew
how.

Warned of the Danger.
Mr.. Bentley told the House
that when Cardinal MindSzenty
was leaving to return home from
a New York visit in 1947, he was
warned of the danger to him in
Hungary.
The Cardinal brushed the
warnings aside. saying, my
enemies can take from me no
more than my life, and that has
already been given to God"
Mr.. Bentley said the Commu-
nistS had broken the Cardinals
body and mind but that his spirit
had emerged triumphant.
Two legislators were prompted
to introduce resolutions in the
House and Senate calling on the
Government to express it's views
on Communist restriction of
religious liberty.
The House measure was spon-
sored by Representative Rodino,
Democrat of New Jersey. It
asked Congress to condemn the

Zinski and other "atrocious acts

dies Of Communist persecution of

It was on February 8, 1949.
that Josef Cardinal Mindszenty.

fenced to life imprisonment on
charges Of anti-state activities.

Bentley, Republican. Of Michi-
gan, who knew the Cardinal per-
sonally when he served in the
American Legation at Budapest
from 1947 to 1949, delivered a 30
minute eulogy Of the Hungarian
primate.
Gen. Eisenhower's statement
was made in letter to Frederic
L. Vorbeck of Richmond Hill,
N. Y. executive chairman of the
United Catholic Organizations
for the Freeing of Cardinal
Mindszenty.
The President said Americans
realized that the unjust proceed
ings against the Cardinal were,
in fact, IAN unprincipled attempt
to destroy spiritual and moral
influences in that country"
1.-THE Communist assault upon
religious liberty and leadership
in Hungary has failed, however.
to turn the Hungarian people
from their faith in God" said the
Chief Executive. The plight of
Cardinal Mindszenty and of 9TH

at the hands of the Communists
has not been forgotten.
Evokes Sympathy.
There situation continues
deeply to concern the people of
Hungary and to evoke the SYM

the CONSTANTS of person and
silence imposed in Cardinal
MindSzenty and other church
leaders by their prosecutors. the
spirit of these men has defied
confinement by the totalitarian
state. 1t has become. indeed. a
