All the forces of the state, police, secret service, federal police, and hundreds of thousands of Storm Troopers took part. Every vehicle in Germany, from trains to carts and bycicles, was stopped and searched for revolutionary workers, arms and literature. Cordons were thrown around every railway station in every city, and all traffic everywhere was stopped. This unprecedented raid followed Premier Herman Goerfng’s hurried return to Berlin a few days ago from his summer place in the Baltic, where he became alarmed at news of the growint mass influence of the Com- munist’ Party.

There I was immediately set upon and beaten until I lost consciousness. I don’t know how long I remained uncon- scious. When Y opened my eyes I was alone in the room, A number of workers whom the Nazis had been beating at the same time as they beat me, had been removed. Then I was taken into another room, the floor of which was covered with straw, on which I lay. The light-tinted wall-paper was covered with great blotches of bloo¢? and bloody prints of hands. Several young men, all very pale, some with bandaged heads, were there, waiting to be interrogated. At frequent intervals, Nazis en- tered the room, shouting ‘Heil Hit- ler!” and forcing all the prisoners to rise and respond with the same sa- lute. Those who showed ill-humor in complying, or who rose too slowly, were lashed with whips and forced to rise and give the salute, then sit down again, ten to fifteen times in rapid succession.

It is planned throughout the coun- try to organize united front demon- strations of protest against Hitler's terror regime, to get as many endorse- ments of the campaign from unions as possible, to set up special “shock” committees among Jewish, German and Bulgarian workers; to issue spe- cial appeals to rally intellectuals, church leaders and middle class ele- ments, House to house collections, tag days, and other means of raising large sums of money are being ar- ranged, often one lost track of how many times it occurred within the space of a few hours. * ee Several times the prisoners were | forced to sing the German national | anthem, and the song Horst Wessel. | Those who made mistakes in the words or music, or who could not sing loud enough, were beaten. T had been so badly mistreated that | soon I felt I could not rise, and I lay! stretched out on the straw while this | little comedy was repeated. The Nazis stamped on me and kicked me. “He's garbage. He'll have to croak sooner or later,” they said. One of them pointed his revolver at my heart. “The swine isn’t worth a cartridge,” he said, and put it away again. I was again taken to the other room to be interrogated. I couldn’t stand, so I was dragged and kicked through the corridors. When we ar- rived, I fell over in a faint whenever I tried to stand, so I was put in a chair, I told the interrogators that I could not stand another third degree in the condition I was in, then fainted and fell off the chair. I was back to the torture chamber, where I lay on the straw. } I asked for a doctor and some- | one telephoned for the storm detach- ment physician, * I was rapidly getting worse.

An hour and a half later, Dr. Kramer, the storm troop doctor, arrived. He ascertained that my condition was dangerous, and gave me a hypoder- mic injection, I asked him to have me moved to a hospital. did not depend on him. There were several other prisoners in this torture chamber. One was a man who had insulted a storm trooper some days before. He had been dragged out of his bed to prison on March 6. A woman who hhad reproached a renegade Commu- nist turned Nazi with lack of char- acter, had been arrested in her home. A young man had been badly beaten up when he was found on the street with the trunk of the Com- munist deputy, Kippenberger. Below the bandages that were wrapped about his head, his face was so dis- figured that neither the eyes nor the nose could be distinguished. There was nothing there but a horrible mass of blue, swollen flesh. He lay close to me and breathed with diffi- culty. “Pich and Ullstein have been ar- rested and are being brought here!” someone cried.

At the interrogation, he acknowl- edged membership in the Interna- tional Labor Defense. He was al | cused of participation in the murder! of a Nazi. He protested that he had| already been arrested and acquitted by a magistrate on this charge. He was beaten with whips and clubs, and ordered to answer “yes” to all questions put to him. Blows rained on him until he had said “yes.” “Are you the murtierer, you son of | a bitch?” “No! Nol” They began to beat him again. His face was covered with blood, and he tried to wipe it off with the back of his sleeve. “But you've just confessed!" “It was under duress!” The brutal gangsters shook with laughter un‘ /they were tired.

He was obliged to answer “yes” to all this, and he did so, but hesitatingly, as Wiih gross insulting epithets, such as “infected * * *,” kicks and blows, they pushed him out of the rcom to go to the kitchen, there to have his hair cut off, Re as ee When he returned, his hair cut off in jagged bunches, he was introduced to a white-haired old minister of the gospel, about 80 years of age, who was ordered to take him by the hand and say, “How are you, comrade?” The old man gave him his hand. “TI take your hand,” he said, “because you are a man who is suffering.” They all began to laugh. “What!

NAZIS GIVE UP DRAFTING YOUTH No Funds for Con- script Labor Plan BERLIN, July 26.—Adolf Hitler's widely advertised plan to conscript all youth for a period of’ unpaid state labor has fallen through be- cause of the resistance of the work- ers and Hitler's inability to finance the scheme. ‘The enslavement of wage work- ers through compulsory wage-fixing by the state, through the Council of Trustees of Labor, is a form of forced labor whieh costs the gov- ernment nothing. The official reason given for abandoning the conscription plan is that foreign powers, and especially France, protested becauge the drait labor plan is a disguised form of military conscription, which is for- pidden by the Versailles treaty. Jewish workers will lose all their labor insurance, as did the Commu- nist and Socialist workers, through the scizure of all union funds by the Nazis, and the decree barring Jews from the unions, Some of them have contributed to their unien insurance fund for 20 to 30 years. and all persons convicted of sex crimes to be sterilized was pubifshed yesterday in the official gazette. ‘Thie gives the authorities one more weapon against workers, who can be adjudged “defective” by a bourge- ois commission, or may be framed up on charges of sex crimes. | Oppose Recognition of Soviet Union in Threat of Growth of Fascism NEW YORK, July 26.—A combi- nation of patriots for profit calling themselves the American Vigilantes Alliance protested yesterday ta Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the foreign relations committee, against any proposals to the government of the Soviet Union.
