Accused of treason, conspiring to overthrow the government, and black marketeering. Bishop Me-Carty said the cardinal's reported confession of these charges was either false or he was forced in lome way to admit to them. "This trial transcends charges against a Catholic cardinal." the Rapid City bishop declared. "It is a challenge and affrontry to the whole Christian world and free peoples everywhere," "Anyone, regardless of whom he might be.

who opposes communism, is condemned," Bishop McCarty added. If the communists choose to ignore the united tide of protest against the arrest and conviction of Cardinal Mindszenty. it is another of numerous confirmations of the communist's unwillingness to be reasonable," Bishop MqCarty added. Endre Marton, Associated Press representative in Budapest, and one of the few non-communist reporters permitted at the trial, is a Hungarian National and subject to pressure from the communist regime in Hungary'- Nevertheless, he sent the following paragraphs on Monday: "While the communist press strongly denounced the Cardinal as the juryless court weighed its verdict, prominent Hungarian Catholics voiced feeling? of disbelief about the whole proceedings."

PROTEST City, Feb. 9 OP) Pope Pius VII has protested solemnly against "the grave offense inflicted upon the whole church" by Hungary's arrest of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, the Vatican announced today.

He summoned the Sacred College of Cardinals to a "secret and extraordinary consistory" next Monday. The pontiff is expected to address the college on the trial of the cardinal, sentenced yesterday by Hungary to life imprisonment. The letter describing the arrest as a grave offense against the church was dated Jan. 2, eight days after the arrest. It is the first utterance of the pontiff on the treatment of the cardinal to be made public.

It was sent to the bench of Hungarian bishops at about the time the Vatican announced excommunication of all Catholics in Hungary having anything to do with the cardinal's arrest. The letter exhorted Hungarian Catholics to have courage. (In New York, a spokesman for Francis Cardinal Spellman said he had not been notified to attend the consistory. The spokesman said only the cardinals in Rome would attend unless the consistory call stated otherwise. (In Philadelphia, the secretary to Dennis Cardinal Dougherty said the cardinal had no plans to attend the consistory.

(Likewise, it, appeared doubtful that the other American cardinals, Samuel Cardinal Stritch of Chicago and Edward Cardinal Mooney of Detroit, would be able to attendlf The consistory call affects all cardinals now in Rome, or those who are able or wish to make the trip to Rome by the time set by the pontiff.

The report was made at a breakfast attended by Attorney General Tom Clark (Eagle Scout Clark ia the way he proudly identified himself), senators, representatives and assorted government bigwigs. It turns out the Scouts have been eager beavers all right Twelve Scouts are here, from all over the country from Daniel Boone Abbott of Newtonville, to James Gill of Berkeley, Calif. They explained what the Scouts have been up to, which is plenty.

Hanson of Rapid City, Red Cross field director for thj West River area, spoke Tuesday night at the annual father-son banquet at the Trinity Lutheran church. Hanson sketched the history of the Red Cross, and elaborated on the work which is being done by the organization in the present storm emergency.

Others still are considerably above support, levels, although they have dropped off sharply in recent months. These declines have necessarily broadened government price-aid operations. A year ago such activities were largely limited to potatoes, citrus and dried fruits. Now the government is actively engaged in supporting farm prices of wheat, corn, oats, barley, grain sorghums, potatoes, soybeans, flaxseed, cotton, eggs, dried fruit, and peanuts. Only yesterday it announced plans to include butter.

Producer prices of milk and butterfat have fallen sharply in areas where milk is produced for diversion into manufactured products. Officials say it may be necessary to support hog prices before the year is out.

The same 1947 law forbids nonresidents to hunt migratory waterfowl in South Dakota. Both the 10-day wait enforced on nonresident pheasant hunters and the prohibition of duck and goose shooting by out-of-staters have been criticized 'by sportsmen and sports writers in neighbor states. The double question before the house was all done up in one packagea bill that was merely a repetition of the law enacted two years ago, except that it dropped the clause ordering the 10-day wait.

Eberlesn along with Arthur Martin, soil conservationist for the Elk creek district, recently returned from an aerial survey of stock water dams the West River region.

He said approximately 20 percent cf all dams surveyed had spillways completely filled with snow from the recent storms. Another 30 percent were partially snow-filled. The remaining 50 percent were practically clear cf snow and ice end in no danger; Eberlein warned all ranchers whose spillways ate obstructed with snow to check their spillways when the current snow starts to melt. If the spillways start to clog up they should cut a trench in the mow so the water can run out. The soil conservationist said while a fast, thaw would jeopardize many of the snow-filled dams, a slow thaw with a sudden freeze could conceivably cause more damage to the stock water dams.

Eberlein's and Martin's aerial survey of this territory was arranged through the office of County Agent Kirk T. Mean in conjunction with Capt. W. E. Hanselman.

It pinned on a provision whereby a person learning to drive could get an Instruction license and another providing for reciprocity with other states in honoring chauffeur censes.
