S ,ca. e ert an opening for a further determination 01 the Gonsti-~ e
tutionality of the Civil Exclusion Orders at any time after the ning of
1942, eaying that the Supreme Court took pains to lieit its ruling to that t
period because it held that the military danger to the Pacic Coast than
warranted the military ourfee orders unaccompanied by loyalty hearings.
. _ that _a case such as outlined above would take
approxinately a year to reach 1:he limited Stetee Supreme Court, at which time '
the military situation, and possibly the state or public opinion in addition,
would both be improved from the point of vies of the Japanese in this country.
It was further his idea that such a case would clarity the legal right of any
loyal Riaei Jepaneee; 1'1:-st, to he given a hearing of some kind before being
excluded, and second, to return to his home and place or livelihood upon a
shoeing of loyalty. In addition, it would afford an opportunity to challenge
the campaign of anti-Japanese race beiting and pressure groups on the Pacific
Ooaet to prevent the return ct the Nisei Japanese to the coast. 1- i

It mane that the Germans are new relinquishing nearlyzall of 1939
Russia except the Dnieper Bend. _It means that the Russians will then be ready
to push a cold weather offensive from the Velikie Luki line where they are al-
ready closer to the "bomb free" war industries of East Prussia than the Allies
will" be to the Brenner Pass after they take Naples.
Realistic analysis of today's military situation must also note that
there are no important mountain barriers between Russia and Germany on the entire
front north of Kiev» By contrast, the Alps seal off our campaign in Italy like s

All of the above suggests strongly that British-American forces might
greatly improve their chances of being in Berlin for German capitulation if our

Unconditional surrender is probably the right gateway to a prcmiseful
postwar era, but I am beginning to feel sure that the resourceful Germans will
make it cost many more American lives to impose capitulation without any ink-
ling of what we propose to follow that act than if a plan for their future is
outlined -- particularly if it is a plan that embodies hope for a tolerable and
endurcble peace. In the absence of such a plan, I believe that remaining Ger-
man energy will be used to divert the armistice into channels proposed by the
"Free Germany" committees
A conference between_Stalin, qhurchill, and Roosevelt is believed to
be the im§ortant next aseptic Uited'Hatione1 procedure. The pace of the war

Internationally, the world new recognizes but two formulas for attempt
security of great powers. One is through collective action on a world scale I
collective action on anything less than a world scale is but a challenge to set
up rival groups for defense, or offense!. The other is through the building as
maintenance by each major power of "effective defenses" against any conceivable
combination of powers. By now it_should be clear that halfway measures of
either kind are almost worse than useless -- certainly worse than useless in so
far as they encourage unwarranted confidence. also, by now we should have lea?
that alliances and defense compacts that can be renounced unilaterally, under
stress,.are not dependable -- no matter how "highly civilized"the contracting
parties. To prove this, we need only to recall the Nine Power Pact for the se
curity of China to which the United States was s party. »

On the other hand, it does not seem possible that either Britain or the
United States, after their recent painful disillusionments over the dependability
of such defenses as Heginct and Singapore, and especially under their present:
burdens of war debt, will dare to hinge discussions for the future o super de-
fenses and self-sufficiency. 0! the three coutries at the proposed conference,
only Russia could hope to have any success with such e termula, epresling as it
does over the heart of two continents, and protected as it is by pacific India ti
the south and China to the east. Horeover, if the outcome of this war should -
throw 100-million defeated Germans into the arms of Russia, the Rnglo-American:
would be already outweighed - without counting the big uncertainty that their
own alliance could survive an isolationist congress.
It is not a sufficient answer to say that global security is out of
present reach because nations will not relinquish enough sovereignty to back
up e court of international justice with international peliee= almost all the
world but the United States was ready for this much after the last ear, and our
people are ready new if we can place any reliance on the scientific polls of
public opinion. -
Suppose that Churchill, Roosevelt, and talin meet before the ingle-
Saxon leaders are ready to sponsor global collective security. Every question
concerning postwar boundaries, and all questions relating to form of govern-
ment, post~war education, and probably religion on the continent of Europe would
have to be mauled over first in terms of defense outposts or buifer regions for
these three loading governments of the United Nations. That would involve a
tense and continued struggling for position compared with which the Versailles
contentions would seem simple. It would become a contest in which every passin
week would add to the appeal of Russia's formula, for the simple reason that it
wnuld be more specific, and in this sense more tempting for quick transition
from war to peace.

courageous analysis of and educational leadership on "controversial" issues is
woefully conspicuous as we approach the campaign year 1944 and the inevitable
piling up of critical problems.
Eff A second major handicap to Allied diplomacy at this stage is the wid-
ening'inconsistency between Britain's forward looking adherence to the Four
Freedoms in the North Atlantic 941! and Britain's backward looking allegiance

Committee on National ldberation, nor for the prolonged collaborationist at-

Unquestionably, many of the aspects of "free enterprise"which devel-
oped in England as an adjunct of imperialism will not flourish in the democra-
cies of the Continent and are probably through in the British Isles, but it
should be oven more conspicuous, and immensely more reassuring, to note that
in Sweden and Switzerland, Denmark-and_Czechos1ovakia, democracy had estab-
lisheditself before the war on such a firm middle course that hardly any one
doubts its continuance after the war. It must be significant, too, that this
strength is entirely ncnmilitary and thus doubtless inheres in the fudamental
appropriateness of their institutions. vI -r92'.';,
I feel certain that no military pressures or diplomatic compacts could
be so effective in selling middle-of-the-road democracy to the postwar world
as some unselfish analysis of and publicity for the middle nay as it has
worked in a country like Sweden - where free enterprise has continued to enjoy

I submit that the cases of Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Czechoslo-

friendly to free enterprise but that it rosters an enterprise of such innate
vigor that it is neither £es.riul of the infiltration or alien systems nor in-

Certainly the maintenance ct such institutional strength in the ab-

The new Selective Service regulations mentioned by llr. Winchell
will become effective November 1, 1943, and they provide that an individual
who becomes delinquent with his Selective Service Board will be placed in a
class available for military service and will be ordered to report for in-
duction. These regulations will cause the imnediate induction of delinquents
regardless oi their order numbers, the number of persons dependent upon them
for support or .e1- .any claims which they may have for occupational deferment
Delinquents under the new regulations will be reported to the Bureau through
the United States lttorneye' Offices. The facts regarding these new reg-ulat1~
have been made available to you. Concerning llr. Winchell: statement that a
large number oi G-lien were on the trails oi draft dodgers and delinquents in
New York City tonight, it should be noted that the Bureau for the past severe
months has been making a concerted etfort to locate draft delinquents through
out the country as well as in they New York area. ,_ 3, ,3 :-_ 1 _

are engaged in the greatest war in their history - a tar against

another war on the floor oi the United States Senate. Is may
lose many post-war advantages before this war is son, but they
will be nothing compared to what will happen it we lose the war
itselr. No battle was ever won by fighting with an ally. Ho
victory was ever gained by attacking the good faith of a friend.
In war, many mistakes are made, but no greater mistake than arous-
ing doubts instead of patriotism. MU ally which has given us
' the benet or its war effort deserves the benefit oi the doubt
from our Congress. Ihile our men and the men oi our allies are

flayed the gaging and. the censorship of some coentators. Congress-
man Hundt shook a threatening finger at radio networks that allow
commentators to speak freely. While Congressman ltundt supports
nuaeling the opinions of commentators, there are other Congreeemen
vho have been complaining that the public has not been getting encngi
frank information about the var. However, this is to remind. the
gentleman from South Dakota that he gave his sacred oath to defend
the constitution which incl-mies free speech, the very sane constitution
that gave Congressman Fmncit his job. i _A-Q

Ir. Iinchell stated: "Attention editors of all prison publications.

that John Edgar Hoover would forward that letter to when he he-

resulted in the open letter he mentioned above that was written to the Office ct
Secretary of Iar Stimson. Oonceming Congressman Glare Hotnan, it has been as-
'- certained, in connection with the Bureau's coverage of Gerald L. I. ith, that he
i Hoinsn! is opposed to the book. It is known that Smith has suggested to Hcffnan
that a Congressional investigation be made of the book. The circumstances in con-
using
' followed and will he called to the attention of the Director.
Hr. Iinchell stated: "Washington, D. O. ' 'mder Cover! is such a
potmt any E nris ear rst sons congressmen are desperately
attempting to suppress it. Congressman Ianbertson ot Kansas, tor
exnnple, inserted into the Congressional Record that since Ialter
Iinchell has mentioned the best seller so nuch that Halter Iinchell
must be the co-author. Well, if I were I'd be very happy to shout
the fact, but I an not co-author oi Under O01er' although I will
continue to be its number one salesman. Congressman Lsnbertson
_ of Kansas also stated in Congress that Ialter Iinchsll smears hin.- Ladies and gentlemen, Lsmbertsonw idea of a smear is this -- Ihen

Iambertson of Kansas. In the lhy 9, 1943 broadcast, Ir. Iinchell stated that it
was learned that a certain Cong:-eseranls eon had filed a claim as a conscientious
objector. me Congressman was not identified at that tine, but according to Ir.
Iinchell he was one who had frequently criticised the loyalty and etfor¬s_'E1'1re'g,
war of the President's sons. In his broadcast thefolloling reek, Hr. Iinchell
identified the Congressman by name and stated that as a result of his expose the
Congnessmanw son had withdrawn his claim as a conscientious objector. Ih this
connection it is also to be remembered that following Kr. Iinchell's first broad-
cast on llonday, My 10, 1943, Congressman Lahibertson called at the Bureau to advise
as a matter of information that his son was contacting his -local draft board and .
withdrawing his request for classification as a conscientious objector. Information
in this connection was contained in the memorandum: covering the Winchell broad-
cast for September 5, 1943.
C. llr. Iinchell stated: "Chicago. A Chicagoan has started a libel
. action of a million dollars against me. Ion probably read about
it in the papers. He claims conspiracy to defame him because I
mentioned 'Under Cover-I which accuses many so-called jmericans
of spreading the Hitler brand of hatred. I have been sued many

In addition to the suit being brought by Dclarnossky, it was recent]
learned through the records of the Circuit Court in Ohi<>!i;0, Illinois, that Georg!
Ihshington Robnett, on September 30, 1943, filed an affidavi for attachmentalleging that E. ltwn and Company, Bic. and Russell 2/gvenport were indebteto him for $5,000 arising out of a conspiracy to defan and libel him and other

These are the only two suits against the publisher and author of "Under Cover" tha

Methodist Conference Women's Society. The women voted to lend
the collection directly to Japan where gifts can be bought for
distribution. ' "
A search oi the Bureau's files reveals no information in connection
with this matter.
B. Hr. Winchell stated; "Buenos Lires. Assurances of civil -- 92
liberties have been given to the United Nations by the Lrgentine
Government, but many United Nations leaders would not oppose 1
" denocretic revolution in the Argentine." l
C. Hr. Winchell stated: "Until then and with lotions of love, I
remain your New York correspondent Walter Winchell, -who can
remember all the way back when Boston was famous for its beans
instead of its bums."
Hr. Winchell is undoubtedly referring to the alleged violence prac-
ticed on Jewish children in the vicinity of Boston. Considerable comment
has appeared in FE and the Daily; Horker concerning this matter. Complete
information relative to this situation was furnished the Ilirector in a memo-
ranchm dated October 30, 1943, under the caption Hllged Anti-Semitic Out-
breaks, _Boston Area; Internal Security." '.-J.

Mr. Winchell stated; "Also last Sunday night I concluded with

when Boston was famous for its beans instead of its bums. Iany' _
soldiers and families of men in the servicenondered why I said - .- '
that. I was under the impression that the Boston hoodlum story 5 7
had been published all__ over the nation,-but it wasn't. The decent L
and civilized people of Boston must Icnow that I did not direct
that criticism at any oi men, but at the bullies there she go in
gangs and beat up children and others inspired by the Hitler fora
of hatred spread by rabble rousers in Boston. I_t is comforting ,
to know, however, that Bishop G. Grumley Upsom phonetic! of
on Boston denounced them in the Newspapers and that such newspaper-
men as Joseph Deneen phonetic! of the Boston Globe is ghting
those Boston bums." ~ -- - t '

A memorandum dated October 30, 191,3, under the caption Alleged Anti-
Smtic Outbreelss, Boswn Area; Internal Security" gas fumished the Director ealli
his attention to the agitation existing in the Boston area. Considerable comment ,
relative to this matter appeared in the New York publication H! and the Ihily Iorke
concerning alleged violence practiced on Jewish children and acts of vandalism
directed against Jewish interests in the vicinity of Boston. The Christian Front
has generally been stated by the articles appearing in PM and the Daily Iorker to
have inspired, what they are pleased to tens, an organized campaign of terzorisl
against Jewish boys. Competent police authorities who have investigated this _
situation in Boston have now advised that there is no evidence that the Christian
Front is responsiiie ior these alleged e1.1t-brea1.rs, nor is there Q}? iactual basis

leg Twa-concerning tl-|einterned German sailors from theGrai épee in Argentina.
Hr. Winchell stated: "On the streets ct New York at this very
moment is an exclusive expcee, the most important war news I
have encountered since Decenber 7, 194.1. It deals with the attempt-
cf the Lrgentine Government to send reintorcemsnts to the submarine
fleet oi the Gemini Ha-y. I can prove e-aw atateeent iniij o *
facts I an sure; or the international law I as not that certain
because in this generation or insane appeasement one who wcrlcs
against our country has an even chance. Bo never knows whether
the United Nations diplomats are going to present him with a
decoration or whether the Allied armies are going to present him
with e bullet. At any rate here is the story as it appears right _
now in my cclnm in the Daily llirror in"Bew Iork City tonight:
Hi! I511
This is an exclusive report to the people of the United Nations
oi a pattern or treachery; oi deliberate international treachery
which has already stabbed one good neighbor in the back and threatens
the life line ct every other nation battling the Axis enelq. The
victim-Braai1, the criminal is the Government of lrgentina. Iith
hall knowledge that escaped officers or the Nazi battleship Grai Spee
are now in command or enenw submarines and with 1'u11 knowledge that
one Nazi mted over the rac that E had e*& a Brazilian ep,
the Argentine Government has released ninety more; ninety more highly
trained Nazi Navy man to the custody or German undercover time in
Buenoe Airel; Buenos hires, the first station on tin road back to
Berlin and murder on the high seas. The people of Argentina ere
not informed of this fact nor are they fully informed of the fact
that the first batch or 150 It-at Spee officers were snuggled out
by German agents working with the German Embassy. How did they go

Iell Imus; not all of then, some went out on neutral ships
about as neutral as Argentine is today. The Argentine '
Government is presently engaged in its pro-Nani activity ,
at a time when Adolf Hitler needs it nest. Adolf tler
is failing in the battle of the Atlantic. He has scraped;' 92
the bottom oi thetarrel in highly trained naval technicians. ' _
These non are desperately needed by Bani Admiral Benet phonetic!
to continue the wolf fighting sginst our merchant marines. It .
is the Germans last hope to stop the second trout in the Iest.
If Benet can't stop Admiral King in the Atlantic, Hitler canlt
. stop General llarshal in Europe. Therefore the release of these - -
men is s deliberate and secret attack delivered by the Government
of Argentina on the United Nations because; 1. The present
Argentine Government knows that one of the Graf Spee officers
whose escape was permitted delivered a broadcast over tin
German radio on June 20, 1942. Be gave e description of his
sinking of a Brazilian ship. The name -of that Brazilian ship
was the Parana Habea phonetic!. The officer is named Captain
Iergen Watenburg phonetic! of the Nani Navy. 2. Another
former Graf Spee officer was taken prisoner by the Allies when
a German submarine was sunk. 3. Allied intelligence kznowsmd
Buenos Aires knows that several others are in command of German
h t submarines right now. 4. The Argentine Government also knows
that the German Naval Attache in 1942, Dietrich lliebuhr, since _ _
returned to Germany, arranged the escape systea. E selected
the most valuable men and threatened then with reprisals if they
refused to break their word of honor not to escape; repriselsJ
not only against then but against their families in Germany. E
also assumed the right of secret court martial of Gemsn war
prieoners on Argentina soil. 92
Ladies ani Gentlemen these facts are absolutely correct. I
deiy anyone to prove otherwise. _
Our country should be a friend to its friend and an enenw to .
its enenw. I1 we continue a good neighbor policy with Argentina
we are worse than the world's biggest fools. Is would be disloyal
to the millions of Americans who are ligating the enemy on the '
battlefield. We cannot shake the hands of sen to are helping

Approximately 1000 German sailors were interned in Argentina after
the German ship Grail Spee was scuttled in 1940. According to BIB information
these men have been loosely handled by the Argentine. Government and as e result
some oi the technicians and officers have escaped. The last gure available
shoved that around 150 or these men had been successful in escaping. In one
instance these men were escaping to Chile by using false passports provided by
the German Consul at Valparaiso, Chile. No recent information concerning these
escapes has come to the attention oi the Bureau, and there is no information
indicating that the Argentina Government is actually ocnniving to release thesesailors althoug: they are loosely handled as mntioned above. --
Hiebuhr you will recall was expelled tron Argentina in the latter
part of 1942 as e. direct result of information cowiled by SIS concerning his
heading the espionage system in Latin America. This information was given to
the -Lrgentinl Government through diplomatic chamele and was subsequently
published by the Emergency Advisory Gounrittee tor Political Defense oi
lontevideo, Uruguay. SIS has also compiled iniornation with respect to
Niebuhr'e helping oicers ct the Grai Spee to escape from Argentine. Pull
details relative to this matter have been furnished the State Department,
Navy Department and the llilitary Intelligena Service.--

Ir. Winchell stated: "Warning to members of the clergy. A subversive
organisation is pulling a neat trick on gullible clergmen. They
inquire for lists of persons in the cunity who are believed to be
radicals. Ihsn these names are furnished the subversive group puts
these so-called radicals on their own mailing list or sucker list for
contributions and to sand their seditious propaganda.l .4
It was recently ascertained during the course of a Bureau investigation
conducted by the Indianapolis Office that the International Iorkers Order is
employing a new tactic in recruiting new members. Organizing committees are sen
by this group to unions, clergyman, andpoliticiane. These committees ask the
persons contacted for the names and addresses of men who are radical. Ordinaril
the persons contacted are said to readily furnish the names of the individuals 1|
they believe to be radical and thereafter the International Iorkere Order writes
to the persons whose names were obtained in the foregoing manner and recruits
them if possible into the International Iorkers Order. Information relative to
this and another new tactic which is being employed by the International Workers
Order was recently called to the attention of Bureau officials. A

Memorandum for ll;-. Ladd Pl-30 4
Mr. Iinchell stated: Following last Sunday night! exclusive
-expose about Nazi war prisoners being released by Argentina, 1
Buenos tires correspondent for the New Iork Times reported the
irgentine Government's official denial. 1he report added that
there had been some escapes during the regme or Ortiz, but not
or Ramirez. That is another irgentinita or Nazi lie, because
Admiral Benito Suero recently allowed 88 more liasi prisoners from
the Grai Spee to work in Buenos sires. they are presently
employed by the firm of Siemens I-islske. '1'hese 68 Nazi prisoners
make a total of 150 Nazis allowed treedon. OI these B8 at least
25$ tried to escape once before. [any of the others mentioned
by me last Sunday night are nos manning Nazi submarines against
our ships. Ihen the present '1;-gentine Government tells the New
York Times that the Ortiz regime allowed those escapes, thisis
to tell the Times and everyone concerned that the Ranirez regimeDe
. also gave freedom to war prisoners very recently. ls recent -for
instance as September, 1943. Ihat do they have to say about that?
The attempts oi President Ramirez to point elsewhere for his
crimes against us are as transparent as his new minister of
education, Gustavo mberio whose pen name is Ugo Vast, s Nazi
propagandist. W facts are new on the desks of the proper
Government authorities in Washington, D. G.
The practice of allowing the interned German sailors from the Graf spe
to work in Buenos hires is not at all new. They have been so employed since -
shortly after the Grai Spee was scuttled. It is known that the interned sailors
from the rat spec have been loosely handled by the 1.;-gehtine Government and as
we result acme of the technicians and officers have escaped. The last figure

llajor H. llontgonery wde of the British Securities Coordination md daring
the conversation mentioned the possibility of using Hess. de stated that
it was his opinion that Hess had lost his mind md could not be used as s
witness. Hr. Rogge stated that he asked Hyde shat intonation had hem
developed by British Intelligence from Hess and Hyde indicated that he was _-
of the opinion that B'..'.*.*.:-ish Intelligence Ad not _lc.no! oi the resllts oi the
questioning oi Hess, inasmuch as the Hess latter was handled entirely by
Anthony Eden. However, one of Hydels sen was oontqalating returning to
London at that time and Bogge suggested that this nan detemine, it possible,
shat Hess story was, inasmuch as the vague possibility existed that he night
be or value as a witness. V"
ll:-. Bogge also advised that on Saturday, November 13, 1943, Ir.
Iinchellls lawyer came into his office, ostmsitly to discuss other setters,
hut during the eontereation ruggeited the poiiioilit7 of irg Hess as s
witness in the trial. He advised Hngge that the pO8I1'bd.11Q of Hess .
appearance had been discussed in international circles. Bogge stated that '
he told llr. Iinchellie lawyer that while the matter had been suggested, it .
ma not serious_ly being conhidered, lira Bogs stated that after Ir. Iinohellh
lawyer left his office, he discussed the setter with San Harris and they both
reached the conclusion that the purpose or the visit or this lawyer was to
"plant the seed" tor the use oi a release with retermce to thisaatter 1:1
Iinchell. Ir. lbgge, therefore, instructed Sal: Harris to call Ir. 'Iinohe11's
attorney and ask him not to use this infomatiqn on his radio progrn or in
his colunn. Ir. Ragga connmted that it appeared that llr. Iinchell inserted

Hr. Winchell stated: "attention, Ir. and llrs. United States. This week

spared as for that we have given. Is can be thankh. that a Nazi Amy is
- running any across the plains of Russia instead of marching again up the
aisles of lladison Square Garden in New fork city. We can be thankful that
Fort Dix, in New Jersey, is turning out tens of thousands of soldiers to
defend our country, instead of Camp Nordlend, New Jersey, sending out
hundreds oi German-American Bund members and spies to destroy us. Is can
be thexcful, too, that Bmd leader Fritz luin was throin behind Jail bars
instead or Americans standing in front of his firing squad. This country
can be thankful that it took only two years oi unbrokm effort for it to. out-produce the many in machinery but our country should never 103??el

Government and our country _ ping _ _§__ar__ol is now hoping to stop a revolution
of the anti-Nazi democrats in Timania. So is Adolf Hitler because if these
heroic people succeed,'both Hitler and King Carol will be out of business
forever. Do not be concerned by King Carol's false concsm for your boys,
your sons, and your fathers and brothers in the armed forces. Their succes
may depend on Carol's failure. For complete details, read my colum in the
New York "wily News" Wednesday and in over eight hundred newspapers later
in tab-B B9-ks. -" ' .

- The three above mentioned individuals, who are leaders of the pro-King Gen
Free Rnmanian llovement in the United States, were arrested by the Bureau as unregist
agents of King Carol- These men were distributing propaganda favorable to Carol and
in general, "plugging" him in this country. They had attempted to get the State De-
partment to issue ling Carol a visa so he could visit the thited States. According
to Horaru, if a Free Rumanian government in exile was set up in the United States,
they would attempt to secure the $80,000,000 of Rumanian money now frozen by the Uni
States Government. King Carol is alleged to have stated that if he was made head of
a Free Rumanian government in exile, he would invest this money in -the war effo:-t.-

bl .3. Sedition Hatter - United States versus Gerald B'.kn.rod, st al.=
Er. Winchell stated: Washington. 'Last Sunday night I related a rumor
buzzin in the capitol that the Department of Justice was trying to getRudolptxgss, Hitler's former #3 man, to come here to testify in the triai
for the a eged seditionists. This rumor was laughed at by a Washington
Zeitung which claimed that it was Just s Joke made by Prosecutor Rogge of
the Departmmt of Justice during a luncheon of reporters in Washington an
that Winchell fell for it. Iell, I repeat, the Department of Justice did
sound out London on Hess coming here as a government witness; that it was
not e lunchroon Joke even if Prosecutor Rogge cannot mks c0mment.'-- p
Iou will recall that Hr. Bnchell, in his broadcast on November l4, 191.3,
nmtioned. the fact that the Department of Justice was trying to get Rudolph Hess tc
appear as a witness in the case popularly knovn as "U'1ited States versus Gerald B.
Iinrod, st ll". Iou were advised in that connection that Ir. Rogge of the Departure
had discussed the possibility of using Hess as a witness with llajor H. Iontgomery
Iwde of the British Securities Ooordinatim. Later lir. Iinchell's attomey had sug
geeted to llr. Itogge that Hess be used as a witness in the sedition case. lpparent]
Hr. Rogge at the time told Hr. 'li.nchell's attorney that he had discussed the matte!
with Hyde inasmuch as Mr. Winchell nos states that the Department of Justice sounds
out London on Hess coming here as a government Iimess. n -

Vatican is the greatest polluted political bunch of racketeers
in all the aées oi histcry. This is no secret. The Pope -
hisself has openly ccniessed that it is his desire to res
establish the former "Holy Roman Empire". Ea is not interested'_
in religion. Eis priests and jesuits are the beet-informed
politicians in the world from Tahiti to Timbuktu. They gather
this inforzation from the confessionals. I myself knol a
former F.3.l man who has accepted the Holy orders" because
the ?ttican pays him for the federal secrete he knows and
he is workin; now as an Army chaplain to discover military
secrets and is forwarding thm to the Vatican by the under-
grcundi So that's Christianity. Traitors should be shot.
This information is forwarded to Hitler because he has signed
a Concordat with the Pope. I could go into detail but you
can find out the rest with a little effort.

"piano boxes" which are being stored in the underground
vaults of the large cathedrals of this country really containguns and ammunition. FatherCoughlin is the head of this bunch
of racketeers and some day t ey hope to stage a revolution
for "His Excellency". They have everything tined and no one
suspects a thing. Some say: How could this gentle ittle-biotic"Lamb of Sod" Popekfius think of such a thing. That: that
everybody thinkE'but 1 have seen too much to believe that trash.
lt's about time to start cleaning house. Fhy don't
you reprove those yellow belly commentors to say about the e
Vatican what they say about all the other raoketeera of this
world. Their stooges pledge allegiance to a foreign power,
the Vatican, and not to the U68. You have heard Ccughlin enough
to know that. They deliberately fight Democracy and hide under
