CRIES OF 'SHAME!’
SCENE IN PARLIAMENT. ALLEGED ATTACKS ON PRIESTS. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERIALISTS. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. BELGRADE, July 21. Crowds of working-class people outside the Cathedral to-day shouted: “Down with Father Korosetch. Long live King Peter.” The police charged and clubbed demonstrators and arrested 100 of them. Serbian women are the driving force behind ihe opposition to the concordat with the Vatican. The Government spokesman, M. Skupshtina, in Parliament denied that the police had used violence. He said that the Bishop of Shabat, who is in hospital, -simply fell down and bumped his head. Members of the Opposition, amid cries of: “Shame,” brandished photographs of policemen bludgeoning priest-s and threatening them with bayonets and the removal of the priests, bleeding and unconscious. The Bishops and most of the deputies refused to look at the photographs and cheered the Prime Minister, Dr. Stoyadinovitch, but nine Ministerialists, headed by the proprietor of the leading newspaper Pravda, resigned on the grounds that the Government’s action in forcing the Concordat Bill through was unconstitutional.
