One day after the announce

proclaimed that storm troop

Steel Helments had been given

Our men in the Nazi Party
reported that select bands OF
ruffians were being organized
and armed under the designa-

More than $500 Communist
and Socialist leaders were ar
rested in the night of the
Reichstag fire. Nazi raiding
parties occupied all Com

Prussia. At dawn, our couri-

leaflets headlined, "Nazi Goer-

The Hitler version was that
a half-naked Dutchman. Mari

seized in the burning building.
He was branded Communist.
We. of the inner circle of the
Comintern and the Communist
Party Of Germany, had never
heard Of this man.
Communists were hunted
down like mad dogs. Weak

tor-cars, together with a
Gestapo squad. From dawn 10
dark. and all through the
night, these cars criss-crossed
the city.
Whenever the spy saw a
Communist of his acquaint-
ance on the street. he gave a
signal, the car stopped, and
the comrade was arrested. In
a city like Hamburg, which
harbored more than 100000
Communist followers, such
tactics had devastating re-
suits.
One spy alone-Kaiser, who
had been the chief Of the
Communist Unemployed Or
ganization - accounted for
nearly 800 seizures OF Com
munists and members of their
families. And there were
many more like him.
The Communist S-Apparat,

Foreign Policy Unit
Says Stability Would

BY the Associated Press.

by tbe hSNoCldleu FItHS
The United States was urged to-
daySto extend economic as well as
political and military assistance to
the Central American Republics to
assure their continued stability and
thus provide added protection to
the Panama Canal.
In a special report prepared for
the Foreign Policy Association. a
private research organization, A.
Randle Elliott said the strategic
position and economic resources of
these countries have necessitated
re-evaluation of them in terms
of the totalitarian challenge" to the
western Hemisphere.
The Canal, Mr.. Elliott said, is
within easy bombing range of all of
the Central American countries and
is vulnerable to sabotage or sur
prise air raids.
The small population and low
purchasing power of Central Amer
lea, Mr.. Elliott continued has kept
it in the past from becoming an i'm
portant market for United States
products. but a survey of the
regions natural resources reveals
Central America as a potential sup
plier of essential United States
imports
ANY rise in its prosperity or
standard of living" he went on,
would create better market for
at least certain classes of United
States exportS-such as agricultural
implements, automotive equipment.
spare parts for automobiles and
trucks, gasoline and oil, and an end
less variety of luxury goods. .
Central America needs United
States technical assistance and capi-
tai. In past decades the North
American investor has hesitated to
place his money in Central Amer
lea because of its frequent revolu-
tions, but today all of the Central
American governments are stable
and in most cases offer lenient tax
policy toward foreign holdings"
