From German Schleswig and Hol- stein comes the report of a peasant uprising that resulted in an armed | clash with the Nazis who were sent | in to drown the uprising by mur- | derous terror, Some of the peasant refugees succeeded in crossing the border into Danish Schleswig. It is significant that only such incidents as occur near the borders are re- ported. An iron clad censorship has been clamped down. The fighting, according to reports reaching Vienna, is by no means | street fighting in Munich and many | other cities. A correspondent of the Vienna terday gave an eye-witness ac- count of actual street fighting among the Nazis that took place when armed resistance was of- fered to the “liquidation” of the Brown House leadership by the police and the S. S. (Schultz | Staffel) under Hitler’s leadership. Serious engagements in Upper Si lesia were reported from Warsaw. At least four known dead and many wounded were mentioned in the | “democratizing” the N.A.AC.P. Starting off with a sharp debate on the question of the organization, proceeding to the overwhelming de- feat of a resolution indirect cizing the “Pittsburgh Courit ” un= | official organ of the top leadership, it ended with wild discussion on how to expunge from the record the speech of Herbert Newton, In- ternational Labor Defense repre- sentative, in which he called upon the delegates to cooperate with the LL.D. to save Angelo Herndon from the chain gang, and the Scottsboro boys and the Atlanta Six from the electric chair. Leadership In Panic Over Newton’s Speech The top leadership, which at first | tried to prevent Newton from ad- dressing the convention and inter- rupted him six different times dur- ing the ten minutes allotted to him, became panicky when Newton ana- lyzed the desperate situation con- fronting the Negro people and de- clared: “The three most important ques- tions any oppressed minority group could discuss are: “(1) What are its aims? (2) through what methods is it possible to achieve these aims, and (3) with whom must it fight, and against whom must it fight, to make the achievement of these aims inevi- table?” Newton then proved the respon- sibility of the capitalist-landlord system for the bitter exploitation and persecution of the Negro people and pointed out that the potential allies of the Negro people are (1) the broad masses of exploited white workers; (2) the poor and middle farmers; (3) the lower strata of the middle class, i.e., small business men, professionals, intellectuals and all others who suffer under the rule of monopoly capitalism. Newton Calls For Real Fight On Lynching He attacked the so-called Costi- gan-Wagner anti-lynching bill as a reformist measure, designed to de- ceive the masses and head off their | revolutionary struggles against fas- cist lynch terror, and contrasted the reformist contents of that bill with the Bill of Civil Rights for the ‘Negro People and Against Lynching, drawn up by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. Newton's speech was expunged from the record. Congressman Oscar DePriest, ad- dressing the conference Saturday night, declared his “opposition” to discrimination at the same time that he voiced acceptance of the Warsaw dispatches describing strect | fighting in Beuthen where the local | Storm Troop leaders resisted arrest and disbandment and were sup-| ported by numerous troops. The | Schutz Stoffle used hand grenades | in the fighting. | Hindenburg’s Position Unclear The most contradictory and con-| fused reports come from Germany on the position of President von Hindenburg. First reports state that he sent congratulatory tele- grams to Hitler and Goering on) their bloody depredations. Later re-| ports state that von Hindenburg| held in the streets of Hamburg at| made the Reichswehr (the German | Army) personally ‘responsible for} the safety of Vice-Chancellor von Papen, who is under arrest in his) home on Hitler’s orders. Von Hin-| denburg threatened a state of siege) in the event von Papen is attacked by the Hitler forces. This, if true,| is a virtual declaration of war be- tween the von Hindenburg and Hitler forces. from Hitler sources denied these statements which were supposed to have emanated from von Hinden- | burg’s country estate at Neudeck. Panic is rapidly seizing the entire country, as civil war and the dan- ger of wholesale massacre and slaughter at the hands of the mur- derous fascist fiends spreads. Storm Troop leaders are being ~ systemat- ically arrested in Berlin, Branden-| burg, Bavaria, Silesia and Pomera- nia. Among the numerous execu-/ tions, which are now preceded by short rump court martials, there was reported the shooting of Wer- ner von Alvensleman, a close friend of von Papen, and another of his aids, which lent credence to the verity of von Hindenburg’s decla-| ration. Eye-Witness Account An American seaman who has just returned from Hamburg where he spent a week just before the present outbreak reports to the Daily Worker that street fighting among the Nazi Storm Troopers had been going on sporadically for some time before the present outbreaks. He told of one instance of the Nazi Luftschutz, air corps, clashing with the Storm Troopers, and was told by German workers of many in- stances of fighting between Steel Helmets (monarchist veterans or- ganization) and the brown-shirted Storm Troopers. “The workers of Hamburg,” he stated, “are in a state ofpboiling hatred against the fascist bloody Still later reports | denial of real equality to the Negro people by the white ruling class. regime, and the influence of the Communist Party is growing tre- mendonusly, The workers openly speak of the next stage in the present events in Germany as being the proletarian revolution, which is the only force that can sweep the whole rotten, corrupt and bloody structure of fascism from the face of Germany.” As an instance of the rising mili- tancy of the German workers, he told of the large demonstrations the time of the beheading of four Communists recently. The story of this event, in his own words to the Daily Worker is as follows: “The funeral of the four Ger- man comrades who were behead- ed was called for nine o'clock in the morning recently. The secret police of Hamburg changed the time to eleven o'clock. At eleven o'clock the time was changed to two o'clock. At two o'clock the time was changed for five o'clock. At five o'clock over 1,500 workers | assembled at the Ohlsdorf ceme- | tery outside of Hamburg for the funeral. The police were greatly | surprised that the workers had | such an underground system of | passing on the news of the | changed time for the funeral. | “During the funeral a comrade | got up and made a speech on the courage of the comrades who were murdered by the fascists.

Organizations in most of these cities have carried out other Free Thaelmann activities, however. They are urged to get be- hind the signature drive at once. In Milwaukee 26 musicians be- longing to the Philharmonic Or- chestra signed a demand for the freedom of Thaelmann and other anti-fascist prisoners. In Cleve- land, 30 physicians, attorneys and other professionals have signed a declaration against increasing fas- cist terror in Germany and for the | liberation of the anti-fascist pris- | ners. In Los Angeles, eight out- | standing attorneys signed a similar | protest. In Chicago, in the last few days, 50 registered letters have been sent to Thaelmann, Moabit Prison, Ber- lin, pledging solidarity. The tele- phone service of the Nazi Consulate }was blocked for days by protest calls. Ten thousand additional “Free Thaelmann” post cards have been ordered, The National Committee has made a special appeal for funds to send a defense delegation to Ger- many immediately, to visit Thael- mann and be present at the trials before the bogus “People’s Court.” Organizations and individuals are urged to collect at all meetings, in- door and outdoor, in neighbor- hoods and shops.

Mass support for the great “Frec Thaelmann” demonstration at the German Consulate on July 7 is apparent throughout the city.

Leaders of the organizations spon- soring the protest have announced, however, that Chicago workers will not permit the police to crush their fight for the release of the beloved German leader and his fellow anti- fascist prisoners. Three young workers were ar- rested in Washington Park at 3 a.m. Sunday morning, as they attempted to hoist a red flag demanding the release of Thaélmann on a park flagpole.

Seaman Testifies Ernst Schmitt, an unemployed seaman from Bremen, who served 14 days in a Nazi concentration camp undergoing severe beating and deprivation, testified that he had spoken with men who had seen Thaelmann in prison and that they told him how Thaelmann was beaten and tortured regularly by the Nazis. In reply to a question whether the events of the last few days will have any affect on the legal situa- tion in Germany, Dr. Rosenfeld re- Plied: “I’m afraid it will. In order to maintain power, Hitler will use even more terroristic methods to maintain his rule—that is, unless the people of the world, and par- ticularly the people of America, raise their voices in protest.” Other witnesses included Dr. Al- phonse Goldschmidt, former Pro- fessor of Economics in Leipzig, Mrs. Anabel Williams-Ellis, author and sister of John Strachey and daugh- ter of J. St. Loe Strachey, and Anna Schultz, wife of John Scheer, mur- dered member of the Central Com- mittee of the German Communist Party. Goldschmidt recounted the perse- cution of intellectuals, including Carl von Ossietski, liberal writer, under the Hitler fascist rule. Gold- schmidt told of some of the mis- treatments he and his companions had suffered before he fled from Germany. A dramatic moment in the pro- ceedings occurred when Anna Schultz read a letter from a friend in Germany describing the tortures to her husband and his comrades by the Nazis, who tried unsuccess- fully to make them confess to plot- ting an armed uprising just before Hitler came into power. The commission will sit today to hear testimony of Dr. Franz Hoel- lering, former editor of the “Ber- liner Zeitung am Mittag,” and other noted persons who are quali- fied to give first hand information of the conditions in Germany today.
