NEW YORK.-Hitler's fe-
rocious, murderous attacks
against his own duped follow
ers in the Storm Troops, con-
tinue with undated savagery
as a stream of contradictory
and conflicting r reports of
mounting armed struggles come out
Of Germany.
A rigid censorship has been
clapped down. The Austro- German
border, over which many of the
Nazi leaders were fleeing, has been
shut. Execution squads work inces-
sently, and though the official
figure of the slain is put at so for
Berlin alone dispatches to capital
list newspapers throughout the world
state that over 200 have been shot
down. Hundreds have been arrested.
The quiet of the grave which Hit
Ter and Goebbels in their statements
and broadcast to the world claim
rules Germany, according to the
latest reports, is punctuated by ar
tillery and machine gun fire.
Travellers who last passed over
the Austrian frontier declared they
heard constant artillery fire while
passing from Passau to Munich on
their way out of Germany. Fight
ing between storm troopers and the
picked armed forces of the Nazi re-
gime, the Schutzstaffel, is going on
in many parts of Germany. In
Munich, report states, machine
gun fire raked the National GAL
leries, which is near the Brown
House. 1t is now confirmed that
all occupants of the Brown House,
central headquarters of the Nazis,
were moved down at Hitler's or
ders when he arrived there early
on Saturday morning.
Hindenburg,s Position Unclear
Werner Won FritSch, chief of the
ReichSwehr was reported arrested,
which shows the growing rift be-
tween the picked Nazi armed forces,
and the army, despite all of General
Won Blomberg's honeyed declara-
tons of good relations" yesterday.
Permanent Sessions of Cabinet
The Hitler cabinet is in constant
session as the crisis of the fascist
dictatorship continues to grow more
serious every hour. Fear and be-
wilderment is pervading the dis
banded Nazi forces, and the sharp
est resentment is spreading espe-
cially among the lower officers who
previously were paid by the Hitler
gang, and are now being plunged
into the ranks of the unemployed
with death threatening them at the
slightest sign of action against Hit
ler'S orders.
Terror holds the population in
the large cities, as many of the
stores are closed; street cars have
been shut down, and the main lines
OF the subways have ceased to run,
according to reports from various
capitalist news agencies. The Nazis
have already printed food and
clothing cards, as the threat of a
goods shortage rises and starvation
begins to hover over the whole
country. Gables to Wall Street tell
of the inevitable onward sweep of
the much dreaded monetary infla-
ton and bankruptcy.
Signs of struggles among the
workers and peasants are beginning
to show, and come through despite
the censorship. There is little doubt
that there is the most tremendous
activity among the ranks of the
toiling population, under the leader
