When the returns began

peared to relent.
IF the Socialist Peoples
Party gets in the position where
it makes UP the difference in a

I'VE will have to think again

representative, said he viii do
all in his power to stop the non
Socialists from forming a gov
ernment.
These parties bickered among
themselves throughout the cam
paign. A Conservative leader
said he had heard of no plans
for non-Socialist coalition in
Parliament.
The four non-Socialist par
ties are the Conservatives, a
free enterprise and pro-NATO
group. 30 seats; the Center, a
farmers party which supports
NATO, II seats; the Christian
Democrats, also pro-NATO and
favoring social legislation, is

The nations membership in

immediate danger, however,
since all major parties sup

seen what might happen if the
Socialist Peoples Party de-
mands concessions toward its
anti-NATO policy in exchange
for votes on a KEY domestic
issue where the non-SocialiSt
parties oppose the Laborites.
During a generally oull cam
paign that attracted little pub
lie interest because of the ma
tons booming economy, Mr..
Gerhardsen had warned that
his Laborites would not form
another government unless they

HAVANA. Sept. .12 (AP).-
The Cuban government today
accused Roman Catholic priests
of plotting against Fidel Cas-
tro's regime.
4 The charge came in an
interior Ministry communique
denouncing the clergy as "coun-
terrevolutionary."
- It followed violent anti
Communist demonstrations.
The communique claimed the
plotting was aimed at setting
off uprisings in three provinces
along with campaigns of ter
rorism and sabotage.
Clerical falangist groups
have received in the last few
weeks shipments of explosives
and arms to promote uprisings
in Pinar del Rio, Las Villas
and Oriente Provinces" the
government declared.
The communique singled out
Bishop Eduardo Boza Masvidal
of the Havana Archdiocese for
"counterrevolutionary activi-
ties" and called another priest,
Father Francisco Viera, a main
contact between subversives in
Cuba and the United States
Central Intelligence Agency.

In that silent opening knew the universe
was living, luminous emanation of God
himself; that His continuous, creative Pres
ence sustained every field, flower, flake,
scatter of stars and miracle of life and that if
and when that Presence should ever be with
drawn = the world would vanish. knew
then that, as the prophets and poets had
foretold, every human being is the individu-
allied embodiment of divine Being, and that
the whole purpose of life is to realize that
divinity here and now.
