16 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Frl., June 23, 1950 Surrender Of Resistance To Red Government Indicated By Hungary's Catholic Clergy BUDAPEST. Hungary UP Hungary's Roman Catholic bench of bishops has asked for an official review of "church questions" in a step interpreted as a surrender of the church's long resistance to the government. The fact that the government itself announced the church move officially indicates that the government will accept it as a surrender, demand that the bishops take an oath of allegiance to Hungary's con stitution, and instruct its clergy to sign the "Stockholm peace petitions." (l .e bench of bishops is the highest ecclesiastic authority of the Catholic church in Hungary since its primate Josef Cardinal Mindszenty was jailed for life in 1949 on treason and spying charges.) The bishops decided two days ago to ask the government for conferences at which heads of 63 religious orders should also be present. They would represent the 11,000 monks and nuns in 636 Switch To FEDERALS Now. and See The Difference Bill and Ward't ASSOCIATED SERVICE All Night Service 200 S. Stephen!

He raised the question whether the country could tolerate their existence further. The church has been in passive resistance to tha government since the conviction of Mindszenty but the strife was inflamed after bishops, heads of orders, priests, monks and nuns generally refused to sign tha Stockholm peace ap peal. The document, drafted by the "partisans of peace" at a congress in Stockholm, is considered by the government as the Highest stan' dard of democratic belief and loy alty. It calls for outlawing atom weapons. Clergy Refuses To Sign The government said that 7, 200.000 Hungarians signed the pe titions but the Catholic clergy did not. Priests referred only to a bishops' declaration, carefully worded and resembling the Stock holm appeal, which was declared to have been issued in the name of all the Catholic clergy.

June 23 UP) The State Tax commission scolded the press and a group of taxpayers Thursday for making "numerous misstatements ' in connection witn recent protests of assessment rates by Clackamas county taxpayers The assessment and taxation div ision of the tax commission, issued a statement in which they asserted the Clackamas county dispute "has not been reported in the press fac tually." A statement attributed to a tax payer group drew the commis sion's wrath. "The commission re sents the statement that 'Gestapo methods of moral suasion' are charged to the commission by (he Clackamas County Taxpayers lea gue," the statement said, and add ed "the word 'Gestapo' as com monly understood, is a secret pol ice using underhanded methods in volving innocent persons. The lea gue has been using loose language in cirticizing the state appraisal engineers in performing their duty". Some 68 taxpayers in Clacka mas county protested their assess ments recently, made by Assessor Rufus Wood, and complained to the Clackamas county board of equalization, which ordered the assessor to go back to the 1949 assessment base. A commission hearing on the clergy were called "atom priests" and "atom nuns." After Revai's speech, many cloisters and monasteries were or dered evacuated and their occu pants were transferred to other re ligious centers. It is stated here, however, that stories published abroad of monks and nuns transferred en masse into internment camps are without foundation. Other Christian denominations and Jews long ago elected clerical and secular leaders satisfactory to the government. These officials took an oath of allegiance to Hun gary's new peoples democracy constitution but Catholic bishops have so far refused to do so with out permission of the Vatican. Truman Predicts Taft's Defeat In Ohio Race WASHINGTON, June 23. UP) At his news conference yester day. President Truman said sharp ly that if he were voting in Ohio where Senator Taft, Republican, is running for reelection he would vote the straight Democratic ticket as .' e always does. He predicted that Taft's Democratic opponent, Joseph T. Ferguson, will win.

Lauschc is a Democrat and the President was asked whether he would com ment on the governor's "indeci sion." He said no.

It may. how ever, be only temporary relief. The President vetoed three bills that would have permitted the Forest Lumber Co., Kansas City, Mo., and two other concerns to file suits for that amount. Mr. Truman said the monev re presents increases in the price paid by the lumber companies for tim ber cut from the Indian reserva tion above the initial basic price of $5.08 a thousand feet. The bills would have permitted the Forest Lumber Co., the Algoma Lumber Co., and the Lamm Lumber Co., to sue in me court ot claims. Under agreements made bv the Klamath Indian agency, the price was raised from $5.08 in 1922 to $5,48 on April 1, 1928. The com panies paid, but under protest. The supreme court later overruled an award for the full amount by the court of claims. Mr. Truman said in his veto message that he is not opposed to a further review of the claims, and that he would approve legislation giving the claims court permission to reconsider tne timber sale.
