NAZI OPPRESSION
POSITION IN POLAND PEOPLE FORBIDDEN TO PRAY VATICAN CITY, Jan. 24. (Received Jan. 24, at 11.30 p.m.) The radio amplified the accounts of Nazi oppression in Poland. The majority of priests have been imprisoned or thrown into concentration camps, or sent to Germany for forced labour. Half the churches are closed and the services in the remainder are restricted to two hours a week. Troops are billeted in a clerical college at Gniezno and the Church of Mary Magdalene at Poznan has become a musical hall for the police, who are housed in the episcopal college. Statues of the ©Saints have been demolished and Poles are forbidden to pray at roadside shrines.
