Nazis Persecute Bishop Of Minister
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Correspondence from the Bishop of Munster to a German official in which the Bishop protested against the Nazi' seizure of Roman Catholic monastries and condemned the Gestapo chief (Himmler) for the cold blooded killing of demented, ill and aged persons under compulsory euthanasia has been submitted to the United States Senate by Senator J. M. Mead. He told the Senate that the Bishop was under house arrest and the Nazi secret police were plundering and destroying the Roman Catholic Church in Germany. Senator Mead said he could not reveal the source of the correspondence as it would endanger the lives of other brave men. The correspondence clearly showed that Hitler intended to wipe out all religion and that no man would be safe under Hitlerism and its antiGod crusade.
