Stepinac: Yugoslav Churchman Is Freed By Tito. "The Yugoslav primate, whose trial and imprisonment five years ago shocked the free world, finally wins his release as Tito leans more and more towards the West. Still defiant, the spirited church leader returns to his people." Library material/flashback: car pulls up, Alojzije (Aloysius) Stepinac, in clerical collar, gets out. VS priests and others in a courtroom. Stepinac, looking peaceful and dignified under the circumstances, takes a seat apparently to testify. Three men at front of the room (judges) and people in the courtroom audience look on. One of the judges (?) speaks (no SOF); Stepinac wrings his hands, looking less peaceful. Political prisoner. Archbishop, Cardinal.
