Vatican City, Italy, May 6.—(AP) —
Pope Pius today voiced strong pro
test against Nazi Germany’s treat

returned to their fatherland after an

would receive “better treatment” than
their youthful predecessors.
(The official Osseivatore Romano
last week printed reports from Ger
many that the 2,000 German Catholics
returning to their native land were
treated as political suspects, subject
ed to close questioning, stripped of
theif mementoes of Rome and held
