After spinning a fine story of what a dedicated idealist he was, Communist Gates had been asked a few pertinent questions. He had testified, had he not, that he was born in New York? Yes. Then McGohey produced a relief application that Gates had once filled out in Youngstown, Ohio, giving Lakewood, N.J. as his birthplace. Had Gates been using that name since 1932? Yes.

...Communist drive against the Roman Catholic Church, which is essentially an effort to split it up into national segments, follows a plan conceived by Adolf Hitler. The diary of Nazi Racist Alfred Rosenberg, published last week by U.S. Military Government in Germany, tells how in 1940 Hitler planned to set up a German Catholic Church with its own pope. He also intended to have a pope for each German satellite country. Rosenberg quotes Hitler as saying: "The more popes, the better...
