The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-15

turned over formally 10 Lne Nhzl third reich, probably in mid. March.
 Jewish stores in Baarbrucken be- gan shutting a few hours after the vote was announced, and the vol ume of emigrants to the French frontier increased. There was tight control at the frontier.
 But as for Saarlanders generally, their joy knew almost no limit. Each of the eight main electoral division, every one of the S3 burgo- masters districts, went for Ger many and Nazism - even Saar- louis, long a part of France and founded by King Louis XIV of France.
 As the result came to them, dis trict by district, and the totals for German rule mounted beyond the expectation of any foreign experts, there were scenes of widest joy.
 Sing NazI Hymn
 Spontaneously they, people now without G nationality, broke into the Nazi shout: 'Hcil Hitler," and bgan to sing the Nazi hymn: Horst Vessel"
 Within the Wartburg Hall where the votes had been counted and the result was announced there was q rush by 400 newspaper cor respondents to send word to peo- pie of all nations of the result of the last of the Versailles Treaty linked intimately with the peace of Europe.
 That Nazi knew, better than the foreign experts, the temper or the Saar, was proved. Foreign experts conceded that from 60 to 50 per cent of the vote would be for Ger man rule. Approximately 90.06 per cent was for Germany. Within a few minutes of the official an- nounccment, Nazi tracts, printed hours or days before, were dis tributed in the gtreets:--"A 90 Per Cent Victory"
 Enemies Are Stunned
 Expecting defeat, but almost stunned by its extent, the social ists and communists abandoned plans for demonstration.
 Even in the Sulzback district. where socialists and communists had been expected to obtain q ma 1ority, there were 1884 votes for Status quo, or league rule, and I3,G32 votes for Germany and Na- zism. The same was true of indus trial towns where the socialist and communist vote was believed sure to be large. It was Germany everywhere.
 Tho victory was considered a personal triumph for Hitler, Q vim dicatiOn in all German eyes of his rule in that the plebiscite vote was secret. Neutrals here for the plebiscite agreed that the vic- tory must increase his prestige.
 Not Slightest Hitch
 Members of the League plebis. cite commission declared thcm- selves pleased with the efficiency of the vote. There was not the hitch. They insisted that the presence of the Leagues Inter- national Army was fully justified by the fact that the soldiers helped the people to vote.
 Tho troops were kept in their today. Except for tho crews of two Italian tanks whose rattling craft were seen fin the streets.
 1t was thought likely that the troops would be removed before January 31. They are to be kept until the Saar Is calm and all ar- engagements have been made for its transfer.
 Leaders of the socialist com munist front, astonished by the extent of the Nazi victory, still inc sisted that they would not leave the Snar. On the contrary, both Max Braun. the socialist leader, and Fritz Pfordt, the communist leader, said they would remain and secretly continue to fight Ma Zism.
 Defeated Dcjected
 Braun and Pfordt addressed 1000 deJectcd workers, including 30 communists, who marched two miles nj the sIush from the Bur- bacher Steel Mills without moles- tation.
 "The significant fact is not that Hitler has wOn," Braun said to the United Press afterward. 'The im- portant fact is that there are 48,- 900 poor workers in the Saar who can not be bribod or terrorized. Fascism can never defeat men like these. We will fight. We will be alive when Fascism is finished"
 Make Hurried Flight The flight of anti-Nazi residents to the French border in fear of Hitlcrtte rcprisais after the pleb- iscite, began in large numbers toe day as soon as the result was an- nounced.
 The exodus is expected eventu. ally to reach 25.00O to B0,00O. II includes Jews, Communists, Social ists and above all. outspOken Nazi opponents and those Germans who the Nazi assumed power.
 Jewish shops began to be board cd up in Saarbrucken and anti Nazig talked softly amidst the general tension. No violence oc. cured, however. Nazis being tod occupied with joyous celebration to think of rioting.
 A supposed socialist plot to start a revolt was quickly sup uprcssed by international authori. ties and police and troops were everywhere on the alert to keep the peace.
 Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitier'f appeal for sanity and dignity also was expected to exercise res straining influence.
