FOR REFUSING. LAST SACRAMENT

Prague, August 3.

| A Czech Catholic priest, Father Alois Fajstl, who re- 'fused the Last Sacrament to a woman Com- munist on the ground that he was forbidden by Vatican decree, was sentenced to eight years' hard labour for treason here today.

In passing sentence, the State Court was implement- ing the recent Government warning that any Churchman seeking to carry out the Vatican threat to excommunicate Catholic members of the Communist Party would be treated as a traitor.
