 "The Nazi War Against the Cath ollc Church" bears the imprint of the National Catholic Welfare Con- ference of Washington and 1t has been printed in many of the Eu- ropean languages for distribution in the predominantly Catholic Eu- ropean countries which have been overrun by the Nazis. The text IS divided in two parts, the first deal" ing with the general anti-Catholic abuses practiced by the Nazis, the second part dealing with the speci- hc prosecutions.
 From this sublime level, American propaganda goes to the almost ridi- culous extreme of Q 'hildren's copy book called Johns Book" in Eng fish, "El Libro de Juan" in Span- ish, "Le Livre de Jean" in Branch, and so on for the Dutch and Portu- guese editions. It's about four by five inches in size, has a bright red cover, and every copy is supplied with a double-end two-color pencil, red and blue. The pages themselves are printed in black outlines on white paper, but there are color guides which give the young fry the idea what to do with the red and blue pencil.
 THEY'LL KNOW
 OUR PLANS
 Along this same line there Is one exceedingly popular open end plc- ture pamphlet on the American warplanes. It's a beautifully printed job in full color. and 1t has been published in six languages. The idea, obviously, is that it doesn't do 1t any harm to have the popula- tions of the Nazi-occupied countries know what the American planes and pilots look like, and to build up the thought that they're friends, not enemies.
 Most welcome item in the Amer ican propaganda-of -of-truth budget has been medical science news letter. Censorship having banned the international circulation of many scientific publications, di- gest of new developments in the field of medicine has been made in the form of a newsletter which Is circulated abroad in several langu- ages.
 The Overseas Branch of the Office of War Information under Robert Sherwood has, in fact, developed news feature service to supply for eign publications with material on America which the commercial news services do not supply. Biographies and speeches of American officials. illustrated feature stories on the American war effort, on women's activities.
 DISTRIBUTION
 BY HANDSHAKE
 vestpocket editions of speeches by Vice President Wallace, Secretary Hull and Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles have been printed in number of languages. The size permits ccncealment in the palm of the hand and passage from person to person by handshake.
 Photo exhibits have been prepared for Russia, England, Egypt. The So- viet asked for 8 picture story on the IVA development. England wanted a display to show the home life of the American soldier. Groups of Turkish and Swedish journalists have been brought to the United States to see for themselves.
 One of the new ideas being con- sidered is having some of the Amer ican-prepared documents actually printed in the countries where they will be distributed, to give them the authentic made-at-home touch.
 And idea that will help spread the word is considered good.
