FRIDAY, OCT. 1, CE

CONVICTED BY TITO’S JUDGES

Nine Other Priests, Monks Get Shorter Terms in Same Case.

ZAGREB, Oct. 11 (U. P.).—The Most Rev. Aloysius Stepinac, archbishop of two million Croatian Catholics, was convicted as ‘a collaborationist today by the supreme court of Croatia, He was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment at forced labor, Archbishop Stepinac as convicted specifically of aiding the proNazi Ustachi movement in Yugoslavia in an effort to “secure foreign

intervention” to save the Nazisponsored “independent state of Croatia.”

Erik Lisak, a Ustachi colonel, was sentenced to death by hanging for plotting against the regime of Marshal Tito. Pavle Gulin, a Ustachi messenger, was sentenced to be shot. Nine other Catholic priests and monks , received sentences of from six months to 14 years after their conviction . .on similar charges. Among them was Ivan Shalich, the archbishop’s secretary, who was sentenced to 12 years at forced labor and loss of all citizenship rights for five years. Archbishop Stepinac pleaded innocent to the charges against him | and refused to select his defense counsel. Attorneys were appointed | by the court. - The archbishop defended himself only ‘against the principles involved, declining to answer specific charges in many cases. Shows No Emotion He showéd no emotion when his

conviction and sentence were an-|

nounced. In addition to the 16year prison sentence, he will be deprived of citizenship for five years. All of his property will be con-| fiscated.

I The archbishop was found guilty | 3

of “in many ways giving signs of his collaboration with and sympathies for the Ustachi.” A summation pronounced him guilty also of writing “actively in a fascistic way” as president of the bishops’ conference and the Catholic press. He was convicted of heading a three-man committee which directed | the “forcible conversions” of Serbs, and for supporting the Nazi puppet, Anton Pavelic, in 1944-45,

Charged With Hiding Gold

The court president found that

Archbishop Stepinac . influenced other priests to organize the Ustachi and “crusader” units in terroristic attacks against the Tito regime. The monks were charged collecdvely with hiding Ustachi gold and jewels in their monastery. One of the priests was accused of blessing the Ustachi “crusader” banner. Before the trial responsible Catholic_ sources In Belgrade said the trial would be tantamount to trying | “Roman Catholicism in Yugo-| slavia.” Catholics constitute about onethird of the population of Yugoslavia and Archbishop Stepinac’s archdiocese is the largest in the country. The dominant ‘religion in Yugoslavia is Orthodox, the same faith as in Russia.

Innocent, Vatican

Sources Assert

VATICAN, Oct. 11 (U, P.).—The| first. unofficial Vatican reaction to the 16-year prison sentence given Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac today was that Yugoslav authorities had decided to “soft pedal” the trial] ending _ by avoiding the death] penalty. i The official Vatican position can be interpreted only as holding the archbishop innocent of the crimes charged against him. His Holiness Pope Pius XII has denied that the church sanctioned forced conversions, as charged by the Yugoslavs, and described the trial as “very villainous.”

The pontiff made these statements |

in an address to the Sacred Roman Rota, high tribunal of the Roman Catholic church,

COMMITTEE SCORES LIMITATION OF CABS

“The city is depriving the Negro |

population of adequate taxicab service,” the Veterans and Citizens’ Committee for Better Transportation charged today.

Attorney for the newly organized | committee, the Rev. E. Louis Moore, | said the city council had granted |

only 20 licenses for a Negro population of 70,000. He urged every interested citizen to write a letter to Mayor Tyndall and to the council requesting “restrictions, limitations and denial of | taxi licenses be removed from the | city ordinance which affects the | operation of Negro cabs.”
