Praise Soviet Union
CHURCH LEADERS'
"POLITICAL AIMS”
Zvolen, Aug. 29.---Crowds estimated at 100,000 packed the flag-decked square here today to hear President Klement Gottwald, in one of his rare public appearances, address them on the last day of the celebrations commemorating the Slovak revolt against the German in 1944.
For 90 minutes the throng stood in the hot sun listening to speech-making. They heard the President praise the Soviet Union and declare that Czechoslovakia "will never allow itself to be dis- rupted."
Then they surged forward to watch a parade of troops, tanks and motorised units of infantry- and artillery being reviewed by the President, Flights of aircraft of British and German types flew overhead as the President watched mobile troops drive past in American truckt.
The President, who refferated iho claim that 'aliseka on the present Government by Church leaders were following not re- Izlous but political aims, faced the Roman Catholle church in the centre of the Square. All cameras were forbidden and on a balcony of the church tower a polico Guard watched the crowds through binoculars.
Representatives of the Press of Eastern European countries were given senis in the review- ing stand, but these facilities were refused to Western cor- respondents,
