SEIZURES BY NAZIS
CATHOLIC PROPERTY
PROTESTING BISHOP
ARRESTED
WASHINGTON, October 6.. Correspondence of the Bishop of Munster, Count Clemens von Galen, with a German official, in which the bishop protested against the Nazis' seizure of Catholic monasteries and condemned the police chief, Himmler, for the cold-blooded killing of demented, ill, and aged under compulsory euthanasia, has been submitted to the Senate by Senator J. M. Mead (New York). Senator Mead said that the bishop is under house arrest, and that the Nazi secret police are plundering and destroying the Catholic Church in Germany. . The Senator said he could not reveal the source of the correspondence, as that could endanger the lives of brave men. The correspondence clearly showed that Hitler intended to wipe out all religion, and that no man would be safe under Hitlerism and his antiGod crusade.
