Mayor Of Aachen
Who Was Named by
AMG Assassinated
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
WITH THE UNITED STATES
list ARMY, Mar n Delayed -
Franz Oppenhof, 41-year-old burgo-
meister Of Aachen and first Mayor
appointed by the Allied Military
Government in major German
city, was assassinated Sunday night
1t was announced today.
Oppenhof was shot through the
temple at 1880 pm, as he stood
on the back porch of his home on
the outskirts of the city.
Military intelligence officers in
vestigating the case said the motive
had not yet been established, and
that 1t had not yet been established
officially whether the Mayor was
killed by Nazis because he had as
sumed the post of burgomeister
under the Americans. 1t was pos
sible he may have been the victim
of a personal enemy.
Met BY Three Uniformed Men.
This was the story that was given
by oppenhof's neighbor to the
Army.
Oppenhof and his wife were at a
neighbor's home when the burgo-
meisters maid called and said three
men were waiting to see him.
The neighbor accompanied the
official to his home. A uniformed
trio met the Mayor on the back
porch and told him they were Ger
man air force officers whose plane
had crashed. They said they wanted
food and shelter and protection
from the Americans.
The Mayor was quoted by his
neighbor as replying that he would
be obliged to turn the group over
to American Army authorities.
The neighbor returned to his own
home and informed Oppenhof's wife
the mayor would be delayed. Short
" afterward Oppenhof was shot.
A German patrolman, who heard
the shot, fired at the three fleeing
figures but they escaped, apparently
without injury, the Army was told.
Prior to the capture of Aachen
last October by Che lst Army Open
hof was an attorney for the arch
diocese of the Catholic church in
Aachen and Dusseldorf.
Opposed by Trade Unions.
It was known at the time that his
appointment by the military govern
ment was opposed by trade unionists
who had suspected him of Nazi SYM
pathies, and the opposition was ex-
pressed openly at the first meeting
of the trade unions to be held in
Aachen-and possibly the first such
meeting to be held in Germany
since the Nazis clamped restrictions
on unions.
But, inasmuch as Oppenhof had
chosen to accept the American ap-
pointment, many civilian COM
munity leaders in Aachen have
adopted the view that the assassina-
ton was the work If Nazis and that
this might have been Nazi method
of intimidating others who might
dare to cooperate with the Allies.
Oppenhof's death thus poses a
problem for Allied authorities who
are seeking community leaders to
take over positions previously held
by Nazis.
Former NaZis held Office under
Oppenhof and some of them had
been removed at the insistence of
the military government. But the
men who were removed from one
department often turned up as
office holders in another. The
unions objected to any former
Nazi being permitted to hold office
