The Detroit Free Press has the highest daily circulation in its 125-year 5 history: 456,768. Lee Hills, vice president and executive editor, said Free Press circulation figures which the paper reported to the Audit Bureau of Circulations for the six months ending Sept. SO, subject to audit, show a gain of 12,575 daily readers over a year ago. "WE ARE PLEASED," said Hills, "that new readers are choosing the Free Press in such numbers and we pledge to continue publishing a complete, interesting newspaper friendly and dependable such as the people of Detroit and Michigan have indicated they prefer." The daily Free Press added new readers at a ratio of better than 14 to 1 over the only Detroit evening paper to gain circulation in the six-month period. The other evening paper lost circulation.

The Sunday Free Press was chosen by 20,358 new readers in the last year, twice as many as began reading one other Detroit paper. (The third Detroit paper lost Sunday circulation.) miles.

This material was given Father Vecsey by the Cardinal in a series of conversations.

The Cardinal gave Father Vecsey full authorization to tell his story to the world. BY JOSEF CARDINAL MINDSZENTY (As Told to Father Vecsey) I began to suspect soon after I was transferred from the Collecting Prison to the country that my health was not their prime concern. The life or death of a prisoner does not occupy them unless they can use it to their own ends. They still guarded me closely at Pus-pokszentlaszlo. In this castle they locked me into a single room on the second floor.

Downstairs were 12 AVO policemen and four AVO policewomen. The men guarded me and the -women ran the house. THEIR ri'KFOSE was to use me as an example of their new policy of peaceful coexistence. They wanted to show the world how kind and generous they were, so that a feeling of well-being between Bolshevism and the church could be created. I would not co-operate with them in this anymore than I would co-operate with them in anything else.

For instance. I had been offered clemency at the Collecting Prison if I had asked for it in a letter. I had refused. One day at the beginning of my stay at Puspokszentlaszlo, an AVO officer came to my room and told me that I could use the balcony of my 'room or take a walk at any time in the park. Ve will give you permission," said the guard, "if you ask for it." "Then I won go." I answered.

"I am a prisoner, you should guard me, but I will not ask for my permission." The door of the balcony and the door of the room remained locked. My food was sufficient and good. was able to sleep quietly and without being disturbed. But then started visits of a 'man from Budapest. He was from a special section of the AVO which I knew was called the Mindszenty Branch.

His assignment was to argue me into cooperation. TIME he came to my room and said. "Aren't you glad that now you get all this special treatment? Aren't we kind to our prisoners?" "Do you really think you treat me well?" I asked. "You think you are fine people and I guess you believe it. I do not think so.

Peihaps you have never heard of Bishop Telckesi of Eger, who was arrested by the old Hapsburg regime in the early eighteenth century. They, whom you hate so much, never left Bishop Telekesi alone, but allowed him a secretary." Within three days a ather John Toth, former pastor of the Regnum Marianum Church in Budapest, which was torn down to make room for an enormous statue of Stalin, was sent to live with me as a secretary. (That statue was toppled over by freedom fighters on the first day of the revolution.) Father Toth was a likeable man. quiet, and his presence added much to the re-establishment of my health. A few days after he came I discovered that my door was no longer locked.

The balcony door was also open. I could walk wherever I wanted, but had not asked for this. Still the man from Budapest came to see me. He argued that both I and the whole Catholic church could have it much better if I would co-operate with him. "Don't be so stubborn," said the man.

HIS HINTS were obvious that it was through me that the Bolsheviks wished to mislead Rome and. hiding their bloody hands, seek a meeting with the Vatican, as had been held at Geneva, with the heads of the Communist and free world governments. It would have been extremely impor- tant to them to launch reports "we nego- tiate with the Vatican." I refused to become his puppet. 1 would not be used as a peace feeler. There can be no compromise with Bol-sheism.

No era of good feeling between the church and atheism. This should be obvious, even to them. He then asked me to receive visitors. I told him I refused to see people because 1 was not in a position to deny afterwards anything that was attributed to me. Anyhow I did not trust them.

This man from Budapest also indicated he wanted me to sc visitors from abroad, so they could display me to the woi Id as an example of their graciousness. As if to win me over to them, they gae a new soutane with red buttons red lining. I refused it. 1 said that I would not wear government issue, and told them to bring back my old soutane, the one which they had ripped from my body the day I was arrested. To my surprise, they went and did this.

But also they put the new one in my closet. On Oct. 12. 1955. my mother visited me again.

We thought she could stay a week or so, but the next day she was sent away. The reason tor this was that Oct 14. Archbishop Grosz was brought to the castle.

The Sunday picture is very much the same: The Free Press gained the most one other paper also registered a gain, but the third Detroit paper again suffered a loss.

INTERESTINGLY, 10,828 of the daily Free Press' 12,575 circulation increase are home-delivered copies. And 13,843 of the Sunday Free Press' 16,804 increase are delivered to the home. (In contrast, the third Detroit paper lost home-delivery customers.) More than 9,000 carriers are delivering the Free Press home to reader every day. This distribution service is now the largest in Michigan. In addition to being first in circulation increase in Detroit in the last year, tne Free Press led in retail advertising gains.

Said Henry C. Weidler, business manager: "The same sprightliness and readability which has attracted new readers also has increased the effectiveness of our advertising. More and more, advertisers are realizing the value of reaching their customers in the morning through the Free Press." IN LINE with a policy of adopting new techniques as soon as they are developed, the Free Press is adding new automatic etching and nickel-plating equipment for the improvement of run-of-paper color reproduction. "Our experienced sales staff," said Weidler, "backed by outstanding color photographers, the color research department and the latest production facilities, expects to introduce the unquestioned power of color advertising to an ever-widening group of advertisers." The Free Press has led in run -of -paper full color since 1954 when it pioneered in its use. In the 2Vj years when no other Detroit paper printed i full color, the Free Press gave its readers 212 full-color pages.

"We appreciate the compliment and recognize the responsibilities which circu- 5 lation leadership imposes," editor Hills said, "and we will continue striving to serve our city, state and nation so as to justify the faith, so many people have placed in us. "We Bhall continue to adopt new techniques, new processes, new features and 1 new services to make the Free Press still more attractive," Hills added. gainst the Soviet Union. in the The giant paddlewheels, never worf1s: to churn again, rippled in the! ires that, by using its MEXICO CITY (.3) The years.
