Force Priests
To Work In
Red Mines

MUNICH - A lawyer who re-
Gently escaped from Czechoslo-
vakia has confirmed statements
broadcast by Radio Vatican on
March 5 that Catholic priests are
being secretly arrested in Czech.
oslovakia.
The escapee, Eric Bulow, "a,
substantiated reports that priests
in Czechoslovakia are being fore
ed to work in the Jachymox urarl-
ium mines. He said he personal
ly met priests serving in Jach-
NOV as prisoner-workers.
"All the prisoners know this
is part of the regimes campaign
against the Church." he added
Mr.. Bulow was arrested in 1949
for anti-communist student ac-
tivities in Prague and sentenced
to five years slave labor.
Fear Into People
MFR. Bulow explained that the
mysterious disap earance of
priests "is deliberately used to
make people afraid" In some cas-
es, he continued, the communists
use secret trials because they
have no plausible charge against
particular priests.
Mr.. Bulow told of at least four
priests whom he had met during
his Imprisonment at Jachymov.
The escaped LAWYER explained
to the Voice of America that in
Slovskia, where persecution of
the Church has been even more
vicious than in Bohemia and
Moravia. the communist agents
use trickery to trap faithful
priests. In the uranium mines he
met Slovak priest who, prior to
his arrest. had often visited a
friends house for evening relig-
ious discussions. One night par
ticipant in these talks invited the
priest to his home. He said other
trusted church members were al
readv there. On the way the man
grabbed the priest and thrust
him into a waiting police car.
The priest was tried secretly and
sent TO Jachymov.

Gil election at the Fiat automo-
bile works in Turin. Italy's larg.
est industrial enterprise, is gen.
orally considered here as an In.
dication of the deep crisis Ital-
ian communism has been exper-
fencing for some time.
The communist union received
only 30 per cent of the $4,000
votes cast in the Fiat election.
Last year they won 81 per cent,
and in 1854 they won So per cent.
The union affiliated with the
Free Confederation of Labor
headed by Giulo Pastore increas-
ed its votes from 25 per cent in
1854 to AZ per cent in this years
election. A third union, affiliated
with the Social Democratic Fed
GRAFTON, also gained strength.
Writing in II Populo, Christian
Democratic Party newspaper, MIR.
Pastore said his unions success in
Turin had a significance far be-
yond its strictly trade union
aspects. and is boun d to
have a deep effect on social and
political, developments in Italy.
He emphatically rejected the
communist excuse which attrib-
uted its Fiat defeat to the COM
pany's ''paternalistic" policy.

to serve God in His holy priest
hood, and to labor in the Dio-
cese of Columbus should make
application before May Is

is important that application
be made without delay. Young
men who are in the senior
class in high school should not
wait for their day of gradua-
ION to apply.
For those under financial
difficulties, scholarships are
available; arrangements for
such scholarships are to be
made by the pastor of the ap-
plicant, who will take up the
matter directly with the Most
Reverend Bishop.
No young man who feels
called TO the priesthood, or
who thinks that he may have
priestly vocation although he
is not of decided mind, is to
be denied the full opportunity
of seminary training. Nor
should such a young man fail
to heed the divine invitation,
or show remissness in follow
ing where it may lead. He
should see his pastor at once,
and make application for ad-
mission to st. Charles.
