'Pravda' and 'Izvestia'
Score Nazi Trial
Frame-up
Especial to the Daily Worker

MOSCOW, Dec. Is CBy Radio)-In
an article headed, THE Executioners
Are Raising the Axe Over Torgler S
Head" the Pravda, official organ of
the Communist Party, U.S.S.R. writes
"The Fascist press is attempting to
speculate on the announcement of
charges against Dimitroff, Popoff and
Tanetf by the prosecutor. Der Angriff'
proclaims this forced announcement
Proof Of the absolute lack Of prejudice
Of the prosecution. The organizers OF
this woebegone trial have greatly mis-
calculated il they hope by acquitting
the three Bulgarian revolutionaries 70
throw off their shoulders the load OF
the provocational arson Of the Reichs-
tag which became too heavy for them
and at this price, to bargain fol
Torgler's head.
Fascists Admit Frame-Up
"They won't succeed The adnlis-
sion of the innocence of the three
Bulgarian revolutionaries is equal to
recognition of the failure Of the en-
tire outrageous frame-up trial. The
entire world saw the falseness OF
these accusations, and now the Fas-
cists themselves admit it.
Were judicial lies not enough7
Was police swindling not enough
With the aid Of the same methods
whose conspicuous falsehood was ap-
parent, the swindling fascist execu-
TONERS made up the charges against
Torgler.
Publicly admitting the failure Of
the entire judicial edifice by acquit-
ting the three Communists, they wish
to drown their shame in Torglers
blood. The fascist execut.oners hope
to strange him in q cobweb OF judicial
lies, but the demands of millions of
people resoundiug to all ends Of the
world are:
Freedom for all the accused.
Freedom for Torgler.

Writing on the Reichstag trial, L.
vestia, off1cial organ Of the Soviet gov
eminent, states:
In this trial the defence played the
role of subsidiary organ of the prose-
cuticn and together with the court,
constituted one indissoluble whole.
Both judges and prosecutors as we'll
as the defenders and the oyerwhelm-
ing majority Of witnesses were play
things in the hands of the stage man
ayers of the trial who were outside
the Leipzig Supreme Court.
"The role allotted to the defence for
this trial intended that together with
the judges, prosecutors and witnesses
for the prosecution, they should cover
the actual incendiaries of the Reichs-
tag.
But if the entire prattle OF the
Nazi hangers-on were cast aside, one
fact remains, namely, the fresh con-
flrmation of the complete bankruptcy
of the charges and the complete fail
ure of the official version of the
Reichstag fire circulated by the Prus-
sian government.
Neither Teichert, Seiferts, nor
Sack defended the Communists in this
trial, but the millions of toilers of all
the world who forced the organizers
Of this trial to admit their complete

sounding through the whole world:
