The Cardinal was permitted to go to Rome at the time to become a member of the Pope s curia after having been banished from his Prague diocese and kept under House arrest since 1949. It was Clear that the pastoral letter and the open letter to or. Dubcek were not intended or expected by its authors to bring Down the Wrath of the communist regime such As similar demands for religious Freedom have done in neighbouring Poland. Instead it was an attempt to take full advantage of the new progressive Era established by or. Dubcek with its promises of sweeping reforms the righting of past evils and democratic freedoms for All. There was no indication at this time As to How the Dubcek government would react to the demand for the return of Cardinal Beran who is now nearly 80. However the regime has already promised full re habilitation for All who were unjustly persecuted on trumped continued up charges of anti state activities. There appeared to have been no Effort by the state authorities to prevent distribution of the Church letter or to keep Cath Olics from signing it. And another sign of the new liberalization came sunday night when television viewers were treated to the unprecedented spectacle of a broadcast interview with a Bona fide Village priest who said he expected the new regime to permit Complete religious free Dom and the full restoration of the Church s spiritual functions. The open letter to or. Dubcek was unequivocal and uncompromising. It said if the de mands were met Calm would be established in this sensitive area and conditions created for Mutual Trust to the advantage of All the letter demanded the abolition of the government system of Church secretaries set up by the communists to control the activities of the Church and the handing Over of All such responsibilities to the Bishops. It demanded the free ing of All priests still in prison an unknown number and the restoration of full rights to All priests and believers who were punished for carrying out their religious it demanded the lifting of All the restrictions blocking the entry of Young people into the Priesthood and for the teaching of religion to children. It also demanded the right of the Church to publish its own material and the ending of the present system of state controlled Church publications i most of which Are run by communist nonbelievers. French experts foiled Paris special owns it is now Clear that great technical problems Are holding up France s a bomb program and Are. Forcing a reappraisal of the Long term shape and capability of president Charles de Gaulle s celebrated Force de Frappe. These still unresolved difficulties had caused important changes to be made in this summer s test program in the Pacific and in the nuclear armaments of France s first Polaris Type submarine be redoubtable due to be operational in 1970-71. The Crux of the problem is that French scientists have so far failed to develop a compact thermonuclear warhead even though eight years have elapsed since France s first atomic test at reggae in the Sahara in february 1960. China advanced from atomic to thermonuclear in less than three years a French Navy task Force consisting of the aircraft Carrier Clemenceau and three escort vessels is now on its Way to the test Centre Southeast of Tahiti in French polynesia.
