lain some surprises." lie said the Government had "indisputable evi- dcnce" against the-Cardinal.

Mindszenty, an outspoken champ- ion of the Catholic Church, is cou- ‘idored probably the only remain- [pg powerful enemy of the present l-{ungarian Government. He long has been under fire on charges that he misused religious meetings to incite against Hungary's present po- litical system.

Several weeks ago the police dc- tolned Rev. Ondras Zukar. private srcretary and close associate of the Cardinal, on a charge of treason.

The Cardinal has not left his rc- sioence in Esztergom for n long time. He spent the Christmas holi- days there.

Budapest‘: newspapers headlined the story of the Cardinal's arrest but carried only the brief official stalement without comment. Resi- dents of this largely Catholic cil.y refrained from any outward display of emotion when they read of the action.

lstvan Barankovits. leader of the Opposition in Parliament. said hi! was not surprised by the zmhouncc- merit. I-Ie added that speeches of top politicians, including Premier lstvan Dobi and Deputy Premier Matyes Rakosi (at: Communist) Ihowed the Government was deter- mined to get rid of the Cardinal.

There has been other hints. Last month Lajos Diunyes. who was then Premier. assailed Mlndszenty as a ‘reactionary’. Dlnnyes declared the Hungarian people “are deter. mined to break reaction whether in the form of the purple of bishops or the sabotaib of Kulnks (rich peasants)!’

Erno Gero, Communist Minister of Transport, said recently that the “liquidation of clerical reaction" was imminent in Hungary. lie tie. scribed Mindszenty as “the head of reaction."

From the fronts north of the river there was scanty news. Some press reports said there was "heavy fighting" near Kayou, 65 miles northeast of Nanklng. but. they gave no corroborative details.

Unconfirmed peace rumors. which have surged and ebbed for weeks. hit a. new low as the import of the Communists‘ "war criminals” list sank in on Nanking.

One Government official said to- day. "the Communists. by their action. have definitely closed the door on any hope of ending the war by negotiations."

ll. S. Policy Makes Progress In Europe

(Editors note: This is the first of a series of five articles on Unit- ed States and Russian policy in Europe which will substitute this week for the regular daily column by J.M. Roberts, Jr.)

By Wes Gallagher Associated Press News Analyst

.Is United States policy in Eur- ope succeedlng? Is it being soundly administered?

Supporters of the policy are apt to answer ln an unqualified "yes." Detractors in an equally emphatic “n03.

The answer is to be found in be- tween these two extremes.

Unlted Sta-tes policy is making progress. It has not achieved a dc- cisive result yet.

By and large it is being soundly administered. It. could be administ- ered better.

The backbone of Unitcd States policy is the Eiwopean Recovery program. It has the double aim of putting Western Europe on its financial feet so it can support and defend itself, and at the same time contain the spread of Ccmmunlst dietatorshlps.

No country in history has set out on such a helping program on such o. scale without direct financial rc- turn.

This aid has certainly stirred the economic processes of Europe. Without it, there is no doubt Eur- ope would bc bankrupt and an easy prey to Communism.

Production has jumped by leaps and bounds in Germany. Great Britain and most European count- ries ovrr a year ago. Even strike- harassed France has shown lim- provements.

From the point of view of con- taining the sorend of Communism the success of United States policy has achieved more tangible rc- sulls.

Without the American aid program there ls little doubt that Italy and France would now he closely lock- ed to Moscow by tight. Ccvnmtinlst dlctatorships. Germany would bc Europe's poorhottsc. wallowing in poverty and held down cnly by thi- force of the occupation troops.

‘There have been some angulsho! cries from some nations that Amcr iron administrators were lrylnt! to =trlp them of their sovereignty. Bu) these cries have been fer from" than were expected. For this credit gobs to these administrators of American policy.

It is true that some United Sin‘- vs representatives in some ens-s have none too tactfully tried to make Europeans do thin-vs Ameri- can style. Sometimes they were right Other times ihev found eondltlons abroad made it. imposs- ible to conduct business operations ln "w. American wry.

The most notable fears a year ago were taro-sided. Europeans feared the United States would use 13.111‘. to force capitalism down unwilling Etirooean throats. Ameri- cans feared ERR funds would br- used by Europeans to socialize and do away with free enterprise.

Neither fear has been realized.

Oompromlses were found in most cases which - lf not satisfying everyone-were reoodulzed as fair.

Canadian Navy Looks Forward To New Escort - type Vessels

OTTAWA. Dec. 27 (GP) The navy looked back today on a 1948 which saw its ships exercisng as far west and south as Hawaii, as far north as Hudson Strait, and which brought the encouraging announcement that it will get a new escort vessel capable of hand- ing the latest in suirnarines.

It also will shortly have a squadron of British aircraft spec- ialiy fitted to combat subs.

An official review of the year highlighted these events as well as "the largest peacetime reserve l-FB-llllllg Program in RC N.. hist- ory;" the commissioning of the aircraft carrier Magnificent, the naval air station Shcarwatcr at Dartmouth. NS.. and the Canad- an-built Tribal Class destroyer Athaboskan.

Another piece of new equipment on the books as thc your drew to o. close vras a modern icebrcnker which will service far northern weather stations among her other duties. She will be built at Sorel, Que.

Reserve training embraced 2.500 officers and men and included two- week training cruises in 511311 points as Bermuda, Boston and San Francisco.

M Ifeflfs end. the actve units of the llcet were the Magnificent. dc- stroycrs Nootkn and Haida, frig- atcs st Stephen and Swansea and the Algerlne escort New Liskeard on the Atlantic coast and the cruiser Ontario, destroyers Cay- uga. Athabasknn and Crescent and the frigate Antigonlsh on the west coast. Strength of the rcgu- ‘or force was roughly 3,000.

2. In both public and private sessions of the committee, wit- ilcsses should be permitted to have counsel when they so desire. The stavcment pointed out that this procedure is followed gener- ally. 3. Sub-committee reports should not be made public until the re- ports have been approved by a majority vote of the entire com- inittec.

4. Executive sessions should prc- cede all open sessions to determ- ine whether witnesses are willing to answer direct and pertinent questions or intend to plead self- incrimlnublon and refuse to ari- swer. Such private sessions also would permit the committee to determine in advance the names of any persons likely to be men- tioned by witnesses.

5. Persons accused by witnesses in open hearings should have an opportunity to testify in public and defend the selves. at com- mittee expense l necessary. Mundt and Nixon sold this had been “the customary practice" of the com- mlttcc.
