Forced Laborers Revolt
Today workers in NaLi labor
camp at Lechfeld, Bavaria, revolted
against the starvation fare, and the
failure to pay for the last three
weeks. Several hundred of the
workers destroyed the camp, and
were reported fleeing toward the
Austrian border
From German Schleswig and Hol-
stein comes the report of peasant
uprising that resulted in an armed
clash with the Nazis who were sent
in to drown the uprising by muir
derous terror. Some of the peasant
refugees succeeded in crossing the
border into Danish Schleswig. 1t is
significant that only such incidents
as occur near the borders are re-
ported, An iron clad censorship
has been clamped down.
The fighting, according to reports
reaching Vienna. is by no means
over. Besides the deaths through
executions there are numerous
Storm Troopers killed in actual
street fighting in Munich and many
other cities.
A correspondent of the Vienna
Telegraf who visited Munich yes
terday gave an eyewitness ac-
count of actual street fighting
among the Nazis that took place
when armed resistance was Of
fered to the Liquidation" of the
Brown House leadership by the
police and the S. S. Schultz
StaffeD under Hitler's leadership.
Serious engagements in Upper ST.
leSia were reported from Warsaw.
At least four known dead and many
wounded were mentioned in the
Warsaw dispatches describing street
fighting in Beuthen where the local
Storm Troop leaders resisted arrest
and disbandment and were sup
ported by numerous troops. The
Schultz Stof1e used hand grenades
in the fighting.

The most contradictory and con-
fused reports come from Germany
on the position of President Won
Hindenburg. First reports state
that he sent congratulatory tele-
grams to Hitler and Goering on
their bloody depredations. Later re-
ports state that Won Hindenburg
made the Reichswehr (the German
Army personally responsible for
the safety of Vice Chancellor Won
Papen, who is under arrest in his
home on Hitler's orders. Won Hin
denburg threatened state of siege
in the event Won Papen is attacked
by the Hitler forces. This, if true,
is a virtual declaration Of war be-
tween the Won Hindenburg and
Hitler forces. Still later reports
from Hitler sources denied these
statements which were supposed tc
have emanated from Won linden
burg's country estate at Neudeck.

country, as civil war and the dan

lions, which are now preceded by
short runp court martials. there
was reported the shooting of Wer-
ner Won Alvensleman, close FRIEND
of Won Papen, and another of his
aids. which lent credence to the
verify of Won Hindenburg's decla-
ration.
Eye Witness Account
