| Overthrow Of Hitler
Reported Planned BY
Strong German Junta
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec IA junta of old
line professional German soldiers,
supported by many Junker indus
trialists, agrarians and diplomats, is
understood to be awaiting the op-
perfume moment to overthrow Hit
lers government in hopes Of
wangling peace terms which would
leave enough of German militarism
to form the core Of a new world
conquest.
This group, according to reports
from inside Germany, already has
made informal armistice overtures,
which were not regarded by the
Allies as tenders at all and which
were dismissed without discussion
because they did not originate
formally with the German govern
ment and because they fell far short
of the United Nations uncondi-
tional surrender formula.
Warnings against Germany's peace
balloons have been given by Secre-
tary of State Hull, British Minister
of Information Brendan Bracken
and others, and it is highly question:
able that the anti-Hitler faction
could make good on any peace
promiess at this stage of the war.
The Nazis themselves, moreover,
would not hesitate to promote such
promises in order to create disunity
and complacency among the Allies.
Fighting for Better Terms.
The reports, which come through
channels considered reliable, al
though they cannot be identified,
say the anti-Hitler group is headed
by Field Marshal Karl Won Rund-
stedt, Field Marshal Walther Won
Brauchitsch, Field Marshal Fedor
Won Book and Grand Admiral Erich
Raeder. They and their supporters
are said to be convinced there is no
hope for q German military victory.
but are determined to fight on in
the hope OF obtaining reasonable"
armistice terms.
This group, which IS viewed in
London as likely to seize on any
suggestion OF merciful peace terms
that might come from any confer
ence of President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and Premier
Stain, Is said to have left open one
offer which asked these concessions
in return for thesoverthrow OF Hit
Ter:
!. Guarantees that Germany
would be occupied by forces from the
West or United Nations under a
joint American British command
a precaution against Russian occu-
patton.
2. Guarantees that Germany
would be permitted to retain a re-
duced army to insure against civil
war, demobilizing gradually after a
republican government was elected
and established.
3. Guarantees that Gerrnopv

9-Point Peace Plan,
Reported by German
Military Junta
Dispatch From Sweden
Tells Of Possibility
Of Sidetrockine Hitler
By EDWIN SHANKE,

| Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
STOCKHOLM. Feb. 1.-The mill
tarv junta in Germany now feels
that If Nazi military and economic
difficulties continue to threaten a
debacle, the only solution would be
for German officers to seize control
Of the country.
This is one OF the moDes tre-
quently reported as part OF
peace ofenSiue.")
They will then, according to in
formed sources here, proclaim pro-
! gram through which they believe
| they may arrive at basis of under
standing with the United Nations.
Reliable sources here, in quoting
German state official. said that
German officers are quietly and
carefully watching developments.
but are making no predictions as to
when the time for such a move
would be at hand
Nine-POi Program,
The junta is represented as being
| convinced that the German people
the military reverses result in
hopeless situation that will become
crystal clear to every one despite the
camouf1age propaganda of Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels.
A nine-point program has been
prepared by the junta, sources here
said, embracing:
PnyYonyo1 If fho M ~ ,,or;x>,n
2. Return to old frontiers, which
will be concentrated on defensive
lines:
3. Establishment Of civil admin
lstratlons in the occupied terri
tories to be formed by nationals of
the respective countries;
4. Removal of all measures
against Jews;
S. A proclamation that Germany
has no territorial claims beyond the
borders Of the old Reich;
s. A plebiscite for Austria;
Would Revive Poland.
7. A proclamation that Germany
considers strong Poland neces-
sary;
8. Adherence to the Atlantic
Charter principles;
g. The granting of two African
colonies to Germany.
1t is recalled that responsible
sources in London received infor-
nation in November of a military
junta which was planning grad
ually to isolate Hitler and take
over authority in Germany.
Reports are current of such
group of "revolutionaries" who hope
to save the situation when chaos
appears imminent-though they
may be Axis-inspired to observe
Allied reaction.
Hitler's shake-up among tried and
proven officers, according to re-
cent reports, and the steady in
crease in strength and power in
Heinrich Himmler's SIS elite
Guard is significant in the light
Of the reported existence of a mil
itary junta. Keen observers say they
believe such moves might be Hit
ler's method of trying to crush out
the opposition without thorough
going purge, which might crack
the home front wide open.
