17 authoritative Roman Catholic newspaper charged today that Communist is being- increased throughout all eastern Europe "to suffocate Catholicism." "The first phases of this oppression are those suffered in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland," said Quotidiano, the newspaper of Italian Catholic action. It was commenting- on the arrest by Poland of the Bishop of Chelmo, Kazimierz Kowalski. Bishop Kowalski's arrest, said Quotidiano. appeared to be an effort, to break the resistance "of a. man who Is not disposed to tolerate the government's abuses against G'aritas is the Church's largest Polish welfare institution, just nationalized by the Polish government.

Quotidiano called attention to a pastoral letter of Polish bishops forbidding Catholics from a i in anti-religious demonstra- i tions. and added: "It is evident that the bishops, with Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha (archbishop of Krakow) at their head, are not disposed to bend before the dictates of the government." (By The Associated Press) Behind the iron curtain the heavy hand of the state moved today to stifle opposition. In Poland, Roman Catholic Bishop Kazimierz Kowalski was placed under house arrest at his home in Pomerania. The bishop was accused by the Communist-dominated state of using pressure and threats against "patriotic priests." These were the priests who supported the state in its charges of mismanagement of the church's largest welfare institution. Caritas.

They alone were unaccounted for the 17 men who plunged from an ice-coated blazing- B-36 bomber off the northern British Columbia coast last Monday night. Eleven men have been brought out against the East German Communists' "National Frpnt" move- ment.

They ordered their followers to shun the movement, which they said was a Communist device to grain power by playing on the German wistful desire for national unity. Konrad Cardinal von Preysing mid the Communists are trying- to "extend an over-increasing one- party dictatorship to the whole of our German fatherland."
