The newspaper alleged that the
Nazis were ready to have an i'm
portant military force In any part
Of Germany within 48 hours.
The Paris newspaper quoted the
alleged secret orders as stating:

main tranquil and avoid provok-
ing members of the opposition par.
ties. During 1892 Hitler will GER

the alleged Nazi orders:
1.-The storm troops reserves will
seize various public services includ-
ing posts, telephones, and tele-
graphs and will occupy town halls
The technical corps will destroy
railway liens leading to military
garrisons six hours after they re-
ceive their orders"
There were numerous reports
during the presidential campaign
that the Nazis planned violence.
They were denied emphatically
by Hitler.
"Never at any time has our
movement had less occasion to use
