The high court dismissed his

It also cleared the way for new

ernment owned oil-rich submerg
ed lands off the coast, commonly
called tidelands.

Pope Declares
Cardinal Trial
4
Rigged, Forced
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 14 -P)
Tin VTT tndav attacked the
trial of Josef Cardinal Mindszen-
ty as rigged and an outrage
against the Roman Catholic
church. He declared that Catho
lics should resist man - made
laws "inconsistent with divine
and human rights."
In an address before a secret
and extraordinary consistory of
the college of cardinals, the pon
tiff charged that Hungary's com
munist - dominated government
sought "to disrupt the Catholic
church" there by striking at Car
dinal x Mindszenty.
His 20-minute long allocution,
delivered in Latin, held no hint
of further action. The holy con
gregation of the consistory already
has pronounced major excommun
ication on "all who dared raise
their hands against the person
of Cardinal Mindszenty. brought
him to trial and participated in
his infamous sentence."
The pope expressed the belief
that confessions made in a Buda
pest courtroom by Cardinal
Mindszenty were wrung from him.
The physical condition and be
havior of the Hungarian primate
appeared to be an accusation
"against his very accusers and
condemn ers." the pope said.
