some unusual cooperation by AP

strictions by the Soviet govern
ment.". s He issued his -statement at the

there are restraints at many levels
"restricting access to information
to which the public is entitled."
But he declared that "national

news directors are vigorously op

results in overcoming attempted

AP member newspapers in the
United States totaled 1,733 at the

the previous year. There were
1,264 radio members, an increase

Former Priest
Hurls CMrses
At Church
WASHINGTON ( U man who
broke with the Roman Catholic
Church after serving 15 years as
a priest accused the church Thurs
day night of "lack pf charity,"
and "greed for mone."
These were some of the thinss.
said Emmctt McLougllin, superin
tendent of Memorial Hospital,
Phoenix. Ariz., which disillusioned
him and caused him to leave the
Catholic priesthood, f !
His remarks were made in an
address at the sixth annual meet
ing of Poau Protestants and
Other Americans United for sep
aration of church ami state.
Statement Issued f
His speaking appearance here
prompted the District of Columbia
Knights of Columbus, a Catholic
lay organization, to issue a state
ment saying: j
"This unfortunate man certainly
is not representative of th6 more
than 45,000 American Catholic
priests, including his- own brother,
who are honorably living up to the
obligations of their divine calling."
McLoughlin criticized Roman !
Catholicism for what he said was
"(1) the lack of charity within
the church and its i institutions,
especially in the sisters' hospitals;
2 the lack of consistency be
tween the church's teachings and
practice, especially on inter-racialism;
(3 the unnaturalness and
harmfulness of the Catholic teach
ings on the celibac of the clergy
and birth control among the laity
and (4 the church's greed for
money." I
Claims Fears f !
He claimed that! "30 per cent
off all Roman priests leave Rome"
and that 75 per cent probably
i would quit the priesthood if it were
not for various fears.
These fears, he? said, include
"fear of hell, fear of family, fear
of the public, and Tear of destitu
tion, deprivation and insecurity."
M0DENA, Italy W Italy
learned Thursday that three Rus
sian prisoners of World War! I
still are Jiving here and still draw

This news came to light when
the three asked plaintively if
they re still considered prisoners.
or what
They ve been prisoners since
1915, they said. They tried for
years to get back home, but the
Russian Embassy in Rome didn't
answer their letters. They said
they didn't really want to com
plain, DUu . . fi
i ne inree were identified ; as '
Nicolai Effimor, 75, Daniel Jagiu-'
latof . 65, and Njcomar Kamlev,
63. They told reporters they were
captured by Austrian troops M in
1915. - H
' Three years later they were
freed by Italian troops, fighting
on the side of the Allies. But they
weren't sent back to Russia, which
in the meantime had had a revol
ution. They were set to wort; - in
a horse and mule military center.
They're still working there, f
Jagiulatof and Kamlev were
married in Italy and each now: has
children living here. Effimor: left
a wife and children in Russia.
The Italian Army pays .them
each 1,000 lire (about $1.60) a day
for their work. '
They happen to be living in one
of Italy's most concentrated Com
munist areas.
"But the only red thing we' like
is wine," said Nicolai, with Italian
relish. t
The Italian government which
from time to time has asked ; So
viet Russia questions about what
happened to an estimated 63,000
missing Italian prisoners in Rus
sia, had no statement to make im
mediately. I j
