BEATEN TO DEATH

Delegate to Catholic Congress OUTRAGE BY NAZIS Others Severely Injured RUBBER BATONS USED By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright (Received June 12, 8.5 p.m.) Munich, June 11. During a series of brutal Nazi attacks on delegates to a Catholic Congress, Professor Zinsser, a priest, was beaten to death with rubber batons. None of the ten English delegates was assaulted. The congress has been abandoned, and the delegates are returning to their homes. Storm troops attacked the congress restaurants and dormitories early in the morning, assaulted the inmates, broke the jawbones of two, and tore off priests’ badges. Lorry loads of Nazis formed a cordon round the site on which a special service by Cardinal Saulhauber was being conducted, compelling its abam donmeut because the police refused to accept the responsibility for the safety of the participants. The leader of the Swiss delegation was roughly handled, and has lodged an official protest with the Bavarian Government. The Nazis used truncheons on the congress delegates, including foreigners, Herr von Papen took a leading part in the congress. He lias cancelled his remaining Munich engagements and has gone to Obersalzburg to interview Herr Hitler. GERMANY’S UNEMPLOYED Berlin, June 11. Unemployed in Germany on May 31 numbered five millions, a decrease of a million on last year.
