The Bend Bulletin, Wed., January 3, 1962 Excommunication of Castro automatic, Vatican reports VATICAN CITY (UPI) A Vatican official said today that Cuban Premier Fidel Castro "can be considered to have been ex communicated" from the Roman Catholic Church. Archbishop Dino Staffa, canonist to die Vatican Secretariat of State, - said that anyone who expelled a bishop was automatically excom municated from the church under canon law. Castro expelled the auxiliary bishop of Havana, Msgr. Eduar do Boza Masvjdal. The archbishop, specifically asked by newsmen whether Cas tro had incurred expulsion by his action against Masvidal, said that "whoever impedes the func tions of a bishop in the carrying out of his work incurs according to canon law automatic excommu- nication." Castro, he said, "can be con sidered to have been excommuni- Russians reject US. protest on border checks BERLIN (UPI) The Soviets have rejected an American pro test against Communist police in terference with U.S. traffic across the East-West border, the official East German newspaper Neues Deutschland said today.

Norman A. Elbe of Iowa will confer this week with his state's secretary of agriculture nlxnit a financial problem. The governor received a letter cated." Leaders of the Iron Curtain countries have been excommuni cated, as was former Argentine Dictator Juan Peron when he took action against priests of tlie Cath olic Church. But the Vatican official's con firmation of Castro's excommuni cation came at a surprising time. Only Tuesday it was learned that Cuba had appointed a new ambas sador to tlie Holy See and that Pope John XXIII and Cuban Pres ident Osvaldo Dorticos had ex changed New Year's greetings. Earlier, a high Vatican source said the question of automatic ex communication for Castro, born a Catholic and educated as a Cath olic, "is a matter of his own per sonal conscience and of his con fessor." This source said he knew of no excommunication decree signed in the Vatican concerning Castro. But he said a decree would not be necessary for automatic excom munication, which can be incurred in various wavs for violations of specified articled of canon law. Despite his policies, Castro is leader of a predominantly Catho lic country and this fact weighs heavily in determining the official Vatican stand on Cuba. In a carefully worded comment last September, the Vatican City newspaper Osservatore Romano said the Vatican still Hoped tor an end to church persecution in Cuba but was not afraid of what- er the future might bring. It was commenting on tlie ex pulsion from Cuba of a bishop and 135 priests. District court fines assessed Three persons paid fines Tues day In Deschutes county district court for traffic violations.
