Donley - Mr. (Dr.?) Came in pursuant to telephone from Bro. Adams. Came to tell me he had received word from very secret source that FBI people knew some of our German members were Hitlerites - Hitler spies. I explained our situation, the sympathy of our members; spoke of the foreign campaign meetings; idle reports that were around about arrests e.g. Bp. Felger; read him from some conference talk in October last . . . our effort to keep our people (Germans) in line, etc. . . .
