Captions: Verso: In the nearby hamlet of Galicien is a chapel built in the 14th century. Here we found one of the most outspoken exponents for an undivided Austria in the area. He is Father Josef Komar, 39 years old, who serviced as a priest in Yugoslavia [now Montenegro and Serbia] from 1941-1945 during the Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia [now Montenegro and Serbia]. During that period he dealt with Communists, who were then partisans against the Nazis. He says that Communism and [Josip Broz] Tito are the same thing in the way they affect people. The O.F. claims that they are Yugoslav patriots, that they have nothing to do with Communism. Father Komar says: "The people of my community, whether they be Slovenes or Austrians, understand each others problems. I try to spread Christ's teachings to all."Markings:Verso: In the nearby hamlet of Galicien is a chapel built in the 14th century.
