"Some Monstrous Method"

COMMUNISTS "Some Monstrous Method"

Josip Tito added his authoritative opinion last week to those who think the Kremlin has a secret method of extracting confessions from its victims. In a speech to the Yugoslav army, Tito said that Laszlo Rajk, former Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, had been taken to Moscow after his arrest in June and trained to confess in his treason trial, held in Budapest last month. Said Tito: "They prepared that trial according to some method which they have. You saw that everything went as it should. I do not know how one gets people to try to accuse themselves as much as possible, but it is certain that some monstrous method is used."

When Tito's minions in 1946 tried and convicted Roman Catholic Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac on trumped-up treason charges, Stepinac did not confess. Apparently the Kremlin never gave Tito the secret of the "monstrous method." Last week there were rumors that Tito might release Stepinac from prison.
