BERLIN, April 25.-The government
disclosed today an amnesty for Prot
estant and Roman Catholic clergy
men who have been arrested for dis
pleasing the Nazi administration.
The clergymen were granted free
dom under an order issued by Hans
Kerrl. minister of church affairs.
which also withdrew the charges
against them and restored their
preaching privileges. Some of the
ministers and priests had been under
indictment for more than year.
Kerrls order was issued at Adolf
Hitler'S personal request.
(The amnesty for clergymen follows
a belated birthday present from the
Reichsfuehrer yesterday extending
amnesty to certain classes Of criminal
and political offenders)
Election officials reported that more
mo" votes were cast during the recent
Reichstag elections in villages where
pastors and priests had been indicted
than in communities where such Of
fetal action had not been taken.
The government amnesty, therefore,
was interpreted as an attempt to re-
move one important source of friction.

ARMORY IS
OFFERED FOR CITY
But Additional Local Sup.
port Made Condition of
Award for Militia

A second army building for use OF
local military organizations has been
offered to Henderson under new WPA
grants, on condition that certain
funds be provided locally, it was learn
ed today.
The terms for gaining the new
building are much the same as the
conditions laid down in the award
of government funds for the struc-
ture now in process of erection. The
site, of course, has already been pro-
vided, and the land is sufficient for
the second army, which had origin
ally been asked and had been expect
ed. But only one was provided for
in the location of quarters to vari-
Gus units over the State.
WPA fund allotments are largely
on the basis of relief labor supply,
and that has been very scarce here in
The past few weeks, and is becoming
more so as the tobacco season gets
under way, requiring help in re-dry-
ing plants and in warehouses.
1t was not certain today whether or
not efforts would be made to comply
with the conditions for the second
armory. There are several units of
militamen stationed in this city, one
group being a part of the 105th Med
lcal Regiment, and the other the in
fantry organization, Company C. 1t
had been desired that each of these
have a separate armory.
Work is now in progress on the
single unit, which will be used by all
he local companies, unless the sec
ond structure should be made avail
able. The present program is NOV
ing slowly, however, because of the
scarcity of relief labor, and less than
half score of men are actually en-
ployed. It will be some weeks vet
before the armory can be completed
and made ready for use.
