A-l4 ¥ JALING CATHOLICS TERMED REPRISAL Arrest of Nuns and Monks Held Reich Retaliation to Challenge. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 30.—A charge that the reported wholesale arrest of | Catholic nuns and monks in Germany was a Nazi reprisal against the recent sharp letter from the Papal secretary of state to Cardinal Schulte, Arch- bishop of Cologne, was heard tonight n Catholic circles. This letter, sent by Cardinal Pacelli to Cardinal Schulte cn the occasion of the latter's twenty-fifth anniversary as bishop, contained a virtual com- mand to all Catholic bishops in Ger- many to challenge and oppose Dr. Alfred Rosenberg’s philosophy of neo- paganism. A spokesman for a number of Cath- olic charitable organizations voiced the reprisal suspicion as follows: “If the nuns and monks really violated any German currency law, they did it not for mercenary or criminal motives. but solely on account of excesses in religious zeal. The diffi- culties with the e might have been | ironed out quiet! | “The reason why officialdom gives publicity to the cases now is to be found in the fact that this letter of congratulation * * * virtually com- manded German bishops to chnllenge‘ and oppose Dr. Rosenberg’s neo- paganism. The Nazis are hitting hnck\ at the Catholics.” In announcing the arrests of nuns and monks, the number whom stil | was not disclosed, German gumunues‘ claimed they had violated laws pro- hibiting exportation of foreign ex- change. | “If these simple-minded, devout | nuns and monks have committed any technical violation of the exchange | laws in Germany—which must yet be | proved—it was because they con- | . sidered moneys collected for foreign missions so sacred and so directly be- | longing to God that any human law | which prevents this money from reaching its destined goal is immoral and in contravention to God's orders and hence need not be obeyed,” said the Catholic spokesman. FATHER COUGHLIN WOULD BE HITLER, JOHNSON CHARGES | (Continued From First Page.) denied the Bible contains any ac- | count of “Manasseh sawing Isiah in | two"—as he said the priest retold the | account. “There is an obscure npocryphfl‘ story to that effect,” he said, “‘but consecrated priests do not preach from the apocrypha, In the second place there is no such person in America as Bernard Manasseh Baruch and well | Father Coughlin knows it.” Then he added: “Bernard Baruch is not my lord| and master. He is my friend of near- 1y 20 years * * * He has done more | for humanity and for this country than a thousand demagogues.” Father Coughlin’s “running back to Roosevelt has left Long, who is at- tacking the President daily, out on & umb.” said Johnson. “If no more has been done than to pry those Pied Pipers apart, it is encugh.” Branding the Catholic priest as eowardly in his previous attacks, Johnson sai “This guileless follower of the Gen- tle Master says that his confidants have heaped his desk with gossip about my private life, but he disdains ! to use l¥ Of course, by that remark alone, He did use it in’ the most cow- | ardly way he could have used it. Thlt was to be expected.” He accused the priest of nurturing a belief that the Catholic Church is “deliberately and subtly building in the United States a Fascist order in! which the church and state are one, to the exclusion of all other political and religious beliefs. “Now I know that not one word of that is true, but as a lover of the mother church of all churches, I want to say that that opinion is growing | rapidly throughout this country and 1t is growing because Father Coughlin makes it grow.” he continued. Johnson accused Father Coughlin of taking advantage of distressed con- | ditions to further his projects. " the general exploded. , That he considered his previous gpeech as effectively silencing Long, | Johnson made it clear, saying: “I think it did some good. Huey erely used the radio rumpus to gpread his nonsense thicker. I heard | that his comment was that he once sold patent medicine and that the | trick is to get the crowds, if only by | & dog fight, and then pass out the pain-killer and rake in the dough. | He did that. But he stopped his clowning in the Senate and that was | aomething gained.” COUGHLIN FOLLOWER HELD. PHILADELPHIA, March 30 (#).— An attempt to form a “Father Cough- lin party” based on the political and | economic theories of Rev Charles C. | Coughlin, Detroit radio priest. was | blamed today by William S. Schimpf, | 40, for his arrest on charges of fraudu- | lent conversion. He believed so much in Father Coughlin’s preachings, Schimpf told & magistrate, that instead of turning over $275 in rents he had collected from a bui'ding and loan association, | he “invested” the money in the | “party.” JORDAN’S 13th & G Buys a Good $28 Demonstrator Other Used Washers $10—$20—$25 ARTHUR JORDAN PIANO COMPANY 1239 G St., Cor. 13th & G THE SUNDAY STAR, “Order of Pink Pachyderms” Initiated by Texas Democrat By the Associated Press. There's & new club on Capitol Hill —the “grand exalted order of pink pachyderms”—but it has only one member so far and its organizer sees little chance of mushroom growth. Representative Maury Maverick, Democrat, of Texas started the club because he thought things were “too grandfatherish.” In other words, “too many of us are Democrats because our fathers were Democrats and too many of us are Republicans—you finish it.” So he decided that “whenever a Republican shows signs of being a liberal, Il make him a member of | the club.” The first man he picked was Representative Vito Marcantonio, Republican, of New York. To him he sent a trumpeting, pink glass ele- phant and a highly decorated cer- tificate of membership, saying: “The Gentleman from Texas (that's me) does hereby present to the gentle- man from New York (that's Mr. Mar- cantonio), both of us of whom were supposed to be gentlemen before we came to Congress, but are now, ac- cording to. the rules, unquestionably gentlemen: “Greeting: By virtue of the power vested in me as such gentleman, I do hereby present to the gentleman, Mr. Marcantonio, the following: One’ pink pachyderm, to wit: Not a red elephant, but a good pink elephant. “Forasmuch as the said Marcan- tonio is an off-color Republican, to wit: He is liberal, a sincere friend of the people and believes in follow- ing the Constitution of the United ‘WASHINGTON, States wherein it is said there. shall be liberty of speech, press, conscience and religion, and a worthy successor to Forello H. La Guardia, the said Mareantonio being hereinafter known and designated as: “A pink pachyderm of Congress.” Maverick sald, with what was in- tended as sarcastic emphasis, that he hadn't “decided what to do about those other two liberal Democrats.” PHONE OFFICIAL TO TALK R.
