ready was entering the train at the
xery moment when this act was
scheduled to occur In the historic
meeting hall.

Juror Sweeps Germany
An unprecedented Juror swept
the country through the night. and
ment-controled newspapers
hinted that the bombing would
&ignal an intensified warfare on
Great Britain. The papers blamed
the British Secret Service for in
Etigating the bombing and promised
einerciless punishment for the per-
petrators.
A reward Of 100000 Reich marks
$4,000 00 was offered for their cap
tlire and the dreaded Gestapo II
Nazi secret police, was spurred to
the man-hunt.
The propaganda ministry an
nounced that the seven dead and q
seriously injured included no prom
inent figures, but that some might
be icluded in the slightly injured
list.
Identified Dead
The official devised list Of the
dead follows:
Michael wilhelm Kaier, so, mer-
chant; captain in the Nazi motor
corps and holder of the so-called
blood order given to participants
In the 1923 Putsch.
Franz Lutz, SO, holder OF the
@blo0d order" and member of the
original company of Brown Shirt
Storm Troops
Emil Kasberger, 54 local Nazi Of
ticial in Munich.
h Eugen Weber, 81, radio speaker in
Travelling propaganda unit
Leonard Deirdl, 81, office clerk.
: Maria Henle, 80, cashier IN the
beer cellar.
The official list Of the injured
totalled SO. Some of them were IN
critical condition.
Secret police officials, whose Of
ices here and in Munich. had been
q bedlam all night, said they were
Following up clues" but declined to
Eay whether there had been ar
tests.
Official quarters, asked whether
general police measures would be
Eharpened, referred questioners to
morning newspapers which casti-
gated Britain and said enemies Of
The state could expect no more
mercy.
The general theory was that some
one had sneaked into the attic over
the famous beer hail. taking advan-
tage Of the "black-out' and the
labyrinth of passages and exits In
the block of old warehouses and
apartment buildings, and had plant
cd a bomb there, probably q time
bomb that failed to catch Hitler be-
cause he left earlier than he ordi-
x1arily leaves the anniversary cele-
firations.
~ There were 500 persons packed in
side the hall and 1000 crowded out
side It. The explosion rocked the
aeighborhood, shattered windows
blocks away. Police cordoned of the
wreckage and lifted the black-out
restrictions while the dead and in
1hred were carried away.
Even had there been no casualties,
ne bombing would have been consid-
cred sacrilege by the Nazis--worse,
perhaps, than the burning Of the
Heichstag, forerunner to the anti
communist campaign, and Hitler's
rise to absolute power. This cellar Is
Where Hitler plotted the Nazi revo-
lution. And down with the ceiling
came the chalk-marked board con-
aiming the famous bullet hole made
bv Hitler's revolver, when 16 years
sgo last night, he rushed in through
the reek Of smoke and beer, fred the
hot and shouted: 1.-THE revolution
ii on"
Hitler, apparently, was not present
~hen the bomb went of. He had
finished his 57-minute speech at 9:08
b. m. (3:08 p. m. EST and had lott
cred only three minutes with his old
oronies before hurrying away to at
tend to urgent affairs Of state" The
explosion occurred at 9:2l p. m.
One Year Ago
1.-THE heights to which Nazi rage
could reach over such an incident
had been demonstrated just one year
aao when Herschel Grynszpan, a
Young Jew, killed a German diplo-
mat, Ernst vom Rath, In Paris, and
tie Nazis inflicted fine Of 100000,
COO on German Jews which Is still
icing collected with a Is per cent
Ievy on them all.
The British, however, got most Of
me blame for the bombing, though
the Jews were mentioned.
Deutscher Dienst said. England
iii get to know us. We swear at
ne bier of the dead that we will not
Halt half way. In the fight that now
negins the German people are well
prepared. If we hitherto had con-
liberation for the enemies 1t is now
clear that from today on we will deal
