Argentine Church Leaders 'Pessimistic Over Future

BUENOS AIRES lAPl -r Church chances for any swift healing of circles describe Roman Catholic wound; from mg long mm bina- leaders as pessimistic over the church-state feud in Argentina.

' "TT”T' This outlook is expressed despite the recent rush of private talks between top government and

church officials. During the last week. lldefenso Cavagna Martinez. new foreign minister, conferred twice with San- tiago Luis Cardinal Copello, ailing Roman Catholic primate. The for- i elgn minister also talked three times with Msgr. Mario Zanin. papal nunclo. Both churchmen said their conversations with the cab- inet minister wt-re "cordial." But few concrete details were dis- closed.

Church circles in close touch with Cardinal Copello and other top ' Catholics emphasized that any opti- mism hinging on the conversations with Cavagna Martinez would be premature. These informants ext plained that relations between the church and P. sident Peronls gov- ernment are so severely strained in the controversy which erupted last November that church leaders "remain pessimistic" on the out- look for any rapid change.

MAY SEVER TIES

Argentina is about 90-per-cent Catholic. and Roman Catholicism is still the state church. Under a new law. the Peron government was authorized to postpone iintll next May election of a constitu- tional assembly to consider sever- ing state-church ties.

The church informants said "there can be no basis for concilia- tion until full freedom of the church is re-established and all clergy are freed"

Another touchy issue is the ex- pulsion from the country of Msgr. Manuel Taio. auxiliary bishop of Buenos Alias .. lidiocese. and his assistant. The government hustled them aboard ii plehe'for Roms June is. the day before an un- successful navy-led revolt against the Peron regime broke out. since the revolt an uneasy truce has prevailed between church and state, jarred at intervals by re- newed government Jabs at church leaders and more arrests of a few priests and theological studentl.

Outlook For

Agreement Appears Sour

By Richard Kasiachke

MOSCOW, (AP) - A West German governinant spokesman predicted Sunday that Soviet-German negot- iations here will end Tuesday night and the Germans will go home Wednesday. Outlook for any agreement appears sour.

The end of the talks which began Friday appeared in sight as West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer en- tertained Soviet bigwigs at luncheon in a wooded area 12 miles from Moscow. The villa was assigned to Aderiauerr

by his Russian hosts. Purpose of the luncheon was an Km-ughchgv, sun Gmmuhl party boss. said this charge was
