Sometimes;the foreto coti respondents complain that they are unable to hbtain infoimatlon,- to which the Propa^ gaiida Ministry replies that they, should rliig upjand ask for it, but when they do so theix calls are usually fruitless. Either the official who answers the 'phone does not know or gives the wrong information, which of course is discovered later and makes • the. foreign eprresporideht a wiser man. Sometimes even leading officials give vastly different yerstoiis of the same event. Thd famous case; of iS. NlemoUer, supplies an . bxamplei After his yeiease from prison by] a Court order ahd Wh?n hlS; snpportere thought he-was noW' fijee. he-was immediately clapped into a con centration camp. ' Three different'official .versions' of this, incident, were given.' The Propaganda Ministiy' was asked ly foreign cori-espohdents what was .the new charge against him.; One iofflclal replied that there must be some sort of [ new charge against Nlemoller with which the Courts would have to deal. Another official said'there were no new charges, the pastog was only being de tained until the prevailing, excitement died down. A third official yave what proved to be the correct Informatibn. Pastor Nlemollei’! he !said, was a political tiahger,| and his care must now be considered not from thclegtil point of yle-w but from the political one. He would remain in prison so long j as there was any likelihood of his resuming his preaching, as, I no totalitarian State cc|uld tolerate opposition. :
