Stepinac, Red Foe, Dies BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (IP) —Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac, one of three prelates who have symbolized Roman Catholic opposition to communism in East Europe, died Wednesday in Krasic, the native village that was his prison. He was 61. Authoritative sources said pneumonia and a heart condition felled the wiry, strong-featured spiritual leader of Yugoslavia's seven million Roman Catholics. He had been limited in recent years to the duties of a parish priest. His death reduces the College of Cardinals to 78. Cardinal Stepinac, suffering for years from a blood disease, came down this week with a cold that parishioners attributed to his hours of daily prayer in the unheated, 400-year-old par ish church. Fatal complications followed swiftly. Cardinal Stepinac had been con fined by President Tito's regime to Krasic, a wine-growing hamlet southwest of Zagreb near the Kupa River, as a paroled prison er dubbed "a former archbishop" since December 1951.

Church bells tolled in Zagreb, the Croatian capital to mark the passing of Cardinal Stepinac, the archbishop of Zagreb. In Vatican City, Pope John XXIII recited a morning prayer for cardinal Stepinac, who was never able to get to Vatican City to receive the red hat that was the symbol of his rank.
