Outlaw Radio In
Germany Tells Of
Assassins' Feud

LONDON, June /. CUP) = The
European revolution radio said to-
day that IA high-ranking German
army officers had been arrested in
connection with the attempted as
saSsination of Reinhard CThe Hang
mani Heydrich, deputy Gestapo
chief, at Prague last week.
The European revolution radio
is a clandestine broadcasting sta
ton III Germany, believed to be op-
perated by PruSSian officers oppos-
ing Adolph Hitler.
The broadcast said the attempt
on Heydrich's life probably had been
made by supporters of Kurt Dali
uegue, who succeeded THE Hang
man" as protector of Bohemia and
Moravia". 1t said an attempt had
been made against Dialogue recent
ly, presumably by Heydrich's hench-
men. Significantly, it asserted. DIAL
uegue confiscated Heydrich's villa,
formerly owned by Baron Won Roth
Schild, as soon as he assumed Of
flee.
POLITICAL FEUD
The arrested army officers, the
broadcast said, included several from
the ssaffs of Gen Nikolaus Won
FalkenhorSt and Gen. Ernst Won
Stuelpnagle.
The quarters of many officers in
districts which had been inspected
by Heydrich in his tours of German
occupied Europe, were said to have
been searched by the secret police,
The apartment of a German gen.
eral in Brussels was ransacked de-
spite protests of Won Falkenhorst.
Heydrich, meanwhile, still was in
critical condition from the assas-
sins bullets, and the Gestapo's reign
of terror continued throughout
CZechoslovakia.
CAUSES FOR ARREST
Radio Prague said 20 more per-
sons were executed there yeSter-
day, raising to 80 the number put
to death by the occupation author
tiles since the Heydrich attack. They
were accused, Prague said, either of
sheltering persons not registered
with the German authorities, or of
approving the attack on Heydrich
or adopting a hostile attitude to-
ward Germany"
The German radio, indicating that
Heydrich might have been shot by
foreign agents parachuting from
enemy planes, said the hostages ex-
ecuted in Czechoslovakia were con-
demned for harboring parachutists.
Emanuel Moravec, minister of ed
ucation in the puppet Czech govern
ment, said in a Radio Prague broad
cast that all the blood bath" vic
tins had been proved guilty.
He said the occupation authorities
had made no secret" of their in
tention Of taking hard measures
against reasonable activity, and
alleged that "emigrees in the SER
vice of England and Russia" were
responsible for the Czech unrest.
They don't care whether Czech
blood Is she'd" he said. "All they
want is TO get money from the

Story Revealed

inc their own political existence,
the NaziS are still highly dang
erous enemy, although it is definite
that they will be beaten without
and within. Every ounce of energy
has been geared into this summers
effort on both the home and fight
ing fronts. l understand that the
so-called outer ring" of Berlin's
afraid defense girdle has been
largely diSmantled to free guns for
use on the eastern front.
Throughout the winter. new men
have been called up incessantly
some as young as II years old, and
every man who could possibly be
released for active duty has been
replaced on the home front. in some
instances by persons physically de-
fective. Women and even children
have been pressed into the huge
battle of labor.
The German people are not ready
TO give up; they're in 1t too deep
now. and the huge blood-cost to
date has to be justified by the at
tempt at final victory. The limit
of sacrifice and self-denial on the
populations part. spurred by the
twins of propaganda and terrorism,
has not been reached. even If more
of them all the time are becoming
convinced that defeat itself would
not be too high n price to pay for
getting rid of the Nazi machine.
Soldiers home on leave from the
Russian frCht are reported to me as
going back. not gladly. but with a
grim determination to crush the
Soviet military power now in one
supreme effort. The vicious winter
and tn eterrible mauling they took
on some sectors has not undermined
the morale of the younger men, at
least. l am told. and they seem to
be strongly impelled by the Nazi-
instilled holy mission of eradicating
Bolshevism. The older men are
showing the strain.
Total casualties on the eastern
front up to few weeks ago have
been admitted by military quarters
as 100000 dead and wounded. ac-
cording TO my informantS.
Tension between the Nazi SIS and
the regular army-the classic en-
nifty that will some day flare up
when things reach the breaking
points continuing to build up
steadily. l am told. There is new
authentic corrboration of the old
story that the SIS and Gestapo are
equipping corner houses, command
ing streets where fighting may &C.

REVIVAL OF GARDEN GATE ADDS CHARM TO MODERN HOMES

DECENT years have re-
N vived many quaint ideas
of the architectural past to
lend atmosphere and charm
to homes of the present.
One of the most delightful
Of these revivals is the garden
gate, offering access either to
the house plot itself or TO an
enclosed garden. Since lum-
Der may still be had. even in
these days of priorities, those
who wish to improve their
houses and grounds in war
time may we'll give considera-
ton to the possibility of en-
closing either the whole place
or the garden alone. A little
careful thought on the mat
ter, in order to select a design
of fence and gateway that
will be in keeping with the
house it is to set off, will of
ten give the entire home a
new and charming character.
Shown here are various
types of gateways. each one
designed to conform with a
different setting or style of
architecture. Or design your
own gate, and build it in your
