One cleric,, returned to a vil

215 died or were murdered since
mid-1950.
He told of priests blown to bits
in dynamite blasting operations,
of mysterious drownings in the
Danube, of slower deaths fiofn
exhaustion or malaria or typhus.
Conditions in the prison camps, he
said, made skeletons oi the most
hardy. Rations were meager, toilet
facilities did not exist, filth was
everywhere.
Priests Were Targets
On occasion, he recalled, com
munist guards made sport of shoot
ing at the priests—a sort of target
practice. Many were wounded and
some killed in this brutal game.
“We had no communication
from .the outside world since Au
gust. 1950.” the aged priest said,
‘and we were completely isolated
from our fellow slave laborers.”
Often during the night, he re
lated, the camp inmates would
risk death to approach the

WASHINGTON (NC) En
rollment in U.S. colleges and uni
versifies has increased by almost
five per cent, but theological
school enrollments dropped 10.8
per cent in 1953, the U.S. Depart
ment ot Health, Education and
Welfiye reported.
Enrollments in all higher educa
tional institutions have shown an
upturn for the second consecutive
year with an increase of 102.417,
the annual report said. Theological
schools opened this fall with 3.344
fewer students than last year, a
nationw ide report showed.
When it came to students at
tending individual schools, lor the
first time, higher educational insti
tutions showed a 6.5 increase, but
the theological schools opened with
17.2 per cent fewer new students
than last year.
In the report, theological schools
include accredited institutions of
all faiths which provide training
for the priesthood or ministry.
The continued enrollment rise
in colleges and universities was
explained by Commissioner of
Education S. M. Brownell as due
to educational benefits for veter
ans, the all-time peak of gradu
ates from the nation's high
schools and efforts to interest
high school students in continu
ing their education beyond the
secondary school.

The resolutions called for an
end to "inhuman" labor conditions,
underscored the workers’ rights to
fair wages and decent homes, and
demanded measures to foster sound
vocational training for young peo

Indian Government Promises
Freedom To Foreign Missions
By E. J. Antony
Deputy Home Minister N.
(Correspondent. N.C.WC. News
Service)
NEW DELHI India—The Indian
Home Ministry has given an assur
ance that it woll not “interfere in
the internal working’ of foreign
Christian missions in this country.
Datar told the House of the Peo
ple the lower chamber of parlia
ment. that the policy of the Indi
an government is “not to inter
fere in the internal working of for
eign missionary organizations al
ready in India, so long as they act
in a peaceful and unobjectionable
manner.”
A Hindu member asked wheth
er missionaries already here as
well as those coming for the first
time received instructions from
the government that they should
keep out of politics.
Home Minuter Kailas Nath Kat
ju intervened and replied: “They
know it very well.”
The home ministry's assur
ance is regarded here as veering
to the original Catholic position
that the evangelical activities of
foreign missionaries were in
keeping with the provisions of
the Indian Constitution which
gives absolute freedom to all
persons to propagate their re
ligion in India. The assurance
comes in the wake of unconfirm
ed reports that a reconsideration
of the home minister's attitude
toward foreign missionaries was
likely Mr. Katju stated last
April in the Council of States,
the upper chamber of parlia
ment, that the Indian govern
ment disapproved of the "prose
lytizing efforts" of 'oreign Chris
tian missionaries who should
confine their activities to educa
tional and social fields.
The reports said that the chang
ed policy would gi\e foreign mis
sionaries unrestricted freedom for
religious preaching while a’ the
