The Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League disclosed today it has received requests from nine churches — unprecedented in the league’s experience — for anti-Nazi literature to be distributed in the churches. Most of them are Roman Catholic, it was stated, but the name of none was divulged.
Some of the priests stated in letters, the league said, that they intended to hold special anti-Nazi masses. One priest asked 6,000 pamphlets to be distributed among his parishioners who, he said, numbered more than 6,000.
