No Doubt
Hungary's National Council of People's Courts, the country's highest tribunal, last week completed its review of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty's life imprisonment sentence. Said Presiding Judge Peter Janko: "There is not the slightest doubt that Mindszenty should have been sentenced to death." The tribunal, however, let the life sentence stand because "the case lost its original importance with the arrest arid sentencing of the cardinal. . . The Catholic masses calmed down . . ."
A report received by U.S. military intelligence in Germany says that Cardinal Mindszenty is in a "state of delirium" as a result of drugging and mistreatment, and that he has been taken from prison to a hospital for the insane.
