NAZISM OPPOSED
CATHOLIC CLERGY ALLEGED POLITICAL DECLARATIONS ACTION BY GOERING (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, July 18.

He objects to Catholics using the greeting “Hail, Heavenly Fuhrer” and disapproves of Catholic Youth Associations with initials corresponding with those of the Nazi organizations. . The Berlin correspondent of the London News-Chronicle says that the secret police have been instructed to listen to Catholic sermons and P^ e ?/ S guilty of anti-Nazi utterances will be sent to the concentration camps. General Goering declares that scarcely a Sunday passes without Mass b e . m S abused by the reading of political declarations. The Government will allow priests to co-operate in education only provided they unreservedly support Nazism.
