PERSECUTIONS CONTINUE
UNREST IN OCCUPIED COUNTRIES
THOUSANDS OF GREEKS MASSACRED
London. Oct. 7
Reports of unrest and persecution continue to be received from Nazioccupied countries. Heydrich, socalled "protector," has declared the closure of synagogues in Bohemia and Moravia. He has also threatened to arrest Czechs talking to Jews in the streets, because this expresses an anti-German attitude. The German spokesman said the execution of General Alois Elias, Premier of Bohemia and Moravia, was postponed because his evidence is necessary in other cases. seven more residents of Prague have been sentenced to death.
The Times Istanbul correspondent states that Bulgarians in Greece have ruthlessly massacred thousands of Greeks. Greek resistance is mainly passive, which has infuriated the Bulgars, who have exaggerated disturbances as an excuse for wiping out the Greeks.
The Stockholm newspaper Social Demokraten reports that 2000 political prisoners are already held in Norwegian concentrations camps, but the Germans are establishing three more to accommodate the numbers recently arrested. Oslo Council is replacing all the teachers and civil servants with Quisling followers. All literature unsympathetic to the Nazis, will be publicly burned.
