such instances the corpse was

counter such abuses and to set
proper example Rabban Gamaliel
ordered that he be buried in

great masses of the Jewish peo-

9TH century, declared that in his
time the dead were buried in
garb worth only one zuz "a small

Catholic PreIates Hit
Wet Mimi Violence

Some 200 cardinals, arch
bishops and bishops Of the
Catholic Church yesterday or
dered a special report on what
they term "trickery, pressure
and the most brutal violence"
used by the Wet Mini Commu-
nists to keep Wet Namese from
going to the non-C Communist
zone of their country.
Assembled here for their an
nual meeting. the Roman Cath
olic prelates condemned the
pressure and violence" being
exerted by Wet Mimi Commu-
nists and stated that the actions
are violations of provisions in
the Geneva agreement on Wet
Nam.
Hundreds of men. women and
children. they said, have lost
their lives trying to exercise their
right under the Geneva agree
ment to move to the non Com
munist zone if they want to.
In two specific actions aimed
at the Wet Nam situation, the
meeting:
Directed the chairman of its
press department, Bishop
Thomas K. German, Of Dallas
Fort Worth area, to bring their
Indignation to the attention Of
the general public.
Called upon a committee
headed by Samuel Cardinal
Stritch, Archbishop Of Chicago,
to issue within two weeks a
white book" detailing these vio-
lations of the Geneva agreement
In regard to Catholics In North
Wet Nam.
The bishops emphasized that
these violations of the Geneva
agreement persist in spite of the
presence Of the international
Commission for Supervision and
Control.
This is a tragedy to which the
international community cam
not remain Indifferent" the
bishops said.
At the same time, the meeting
expressed its gratitude and ad-
miration for the role played by
the United States Navy in aiding
Wet Namese refugees who braved
death to escape.

Attlee voted with the govern

against the agreements would
be a serious breach Of party
discipline, possibly involving ex-
pulsion. He permitted Labor
ties to abstain, however, and
most did so. -Four leftist Labor
members defied his warning and
voted no.
Aneurin Bevan, leader Of the
Laborite left wing, joined the
abstainers after denouncing the
pacts as an "ignominious sur
render" for Britain. Opposition
to the agreements centered on
clauses committing Britain to
keep troops in Western Europe
and allowing Germany to build
her own national army within
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization.
