"IWILLNEVERSIGN"

HeroicPrelateWarnsFlockAgainstPossible Torture-Induced"Confessions"

ThepeopleofPragueleftnodoubtoftheirfeelings whenthousandsgatheredbeforethehomeofArchbishop JosephBerantoshouttheirloyaltytotheprelate,whois,it appears,stillfreetomoveaboutthecity.

Meanwhile"OsservatoreRomano"pointedtothe"unbreakableunanimity"ofCommunistcountriesagainstthe Church,nomatterhowtheydifferinothermatters.

TheArchbishop'schanceryoffice,attachedtothepalace,hasbeenransackedbyCommunistofficials,whoalso havemannedtheprelate'sswitchboard,receptiondesk,takenoverallingoingandoutgoingmail,andthrownarmed guardsaboutthepalace.

WhilethusseriouslyrestrictingthelibertyoftheArchbishop,theregimefurtherarrestedtheChancellorofhis Archdiocese,theRev.RudolfDoerner,andtheArchbishop's secretary,FatherKucera.

Afterbeingunderwhatseemedhousearrestforseveraldays, theArchbishopfinallylefthis palacetokeepapreachingengagementatStrachovMonasteryinPrague.Thefirstwords ofthe60-year-oldprelatetothe 3,000peoplejammedintothe churchwere:

"Icometoyouandswearto youthatIwillneversignan agreementthatviolatesthelaws oftheChurch."Laterhedeclared:"Imaynotbeableto talktoyouverymanymore times.ButifyouhearanythingonthePragueradiosayingthatIhavesignedanagreement,don'tbelieveit,becauseI willneversignanagreement againstthelawsoftheChurch andhumanrights:'

Afterhereturnedtothepalace,thefaithfulgaveanimpromptudemonstrationforthe Archbishop,singingspirited hymnsasheappearedonthe balcony.However,theprelate urgedthefaithfultoleave,say, ing:"Donotletthemtrytorepresentthisasaprovocation."

Policehadbeenstationedat allthestreetsleadingtothecathedralinanefforttodissuade peoplefromentering.Some wererequiredtoshowtheir identitycards,otherswereurgedtogotoanearerchurch,and somewereturnedbackbecause thecathedralwas"toocrowded."Duringandafterthisdisruptedchurchservicenumerous arrestsarereportedtohavebeen made.

ArchbishopBeran'slatestlettertotheclergywasseemingly smuggledoutofthepalacedespitethefactthatitwasunder guard.Reportsstatethatpolicehadalsogone'fromparishto parishwarningpastorsthatit was"illegal"toreadtheletter fromthepulpit.Thewarning wasalmostcompletelydisregarded.

TheArchbishop'sletterdenied pointbypointthechargesmadeagainsttheHierarchybythe governmentinitspropaganda barrage.

"Wedeclarethatwehavebeen andareloyaltothisState,"the lettersaid.". Wefurther declarethatwehavealwaysbeenandareforajustagree-

Cabledispatchesfromthe N.C.W.C.correspondentinRome declarethat"thespeedanddirectnesswithwhichtheHoly Seehasactedinsupporting ArchbishopBeranhasbeenthe topicofconsiderablediscussion inunofficialVaticancircles."

Muchmoreimportant,inthe viewofinformedobservers there,isthefactthattheRev. MarianoCordovani,identified asthepersonaltheologianofHis HolinessPopePiusXII,wrotea signedarticlein"Osservatore

WhentheTheatreCouncil,as aspreludetotheFestival,organisedaplaycompetitionwhichattemptedtocombthewholeof Australiaforanoriginalscript worthyoftakingprideofplace onthemenuforplaygoershere, everyonebegantolookforward withkeenanticipationtotheoutcomeofthesearch.TomJudd's winningeffort,"LifeBurnsOn," wasnotatallsuchasmightjustifythebrighthopesheldforit. Butthemostunaccountabledevelopmentwasthepatentmediocrityofthosewhowereassigned thejobofbringingittolife. ItseemedasiftheTheatreCouncilwereunwillingtodomuch foritsownbaby.

Thusagainitwouldappear thatnoteventheindividual clubsworkedhardtoachieve outstandingresults.Certainly theyhavealldonebetterintheir ownbackyards.
