Berlin, March 27.--Belief that innnie-
diate danger Of coordinated general
strike in the central German industrial
regions and its possible spread to other
sections has been temporarily banished is
expressed by government leaders here.
In the meantime faith is pinned to the
ability of 5000 Prusszan security police to
STAMP out the lawlessness still rampant
in open stretches of country between
towns. Many of these districts were up
10 last night firmly in the grip Of bands
o fcommunists, who were everywhere
.eaving behind them blown up public and
private buildings and railway bridges and
looted shops Reports were received that
the rioters were fortifying themselves in
hilly districts.
Eisleben, Mansfield and Dellstedt are
guarded by security and local police, but
the situation at Leuna has not as yet
been cleared up. The big nitrogen plant
there has been made the headquarters OF
the communists, and leaders are said to
be directing operations from factory
buildings.
Government officials appear confident
that workingmen viii reject the idea OF
