EXTREME BRUTALITY
WORKERS JOINING NAZIS
SPIRIT OP REVENGE
United Press Assoclatlon-Bj Electric Tele eraph—Copyrleht LONDON, March 4. The "News-Chronicle's" special investigator says that extreme brutality continues in most Austrian prisons, which are filled with 6000 Social Democrats. Hundreds were beaten with rubber truncheons until they agreed to give evidence against their leaders at the approaching trials. Others were bayoneted in underground cells. The Heimwehr, under Major Fey and Prince Starhemberg's orders, ruthlessly searched workers' houses. They threatened to outrage the women, terrorised children, and knocked out suspects' teeth with rifle barrels. As a result the workers are joining the Nazis wholesale, many simply in a spirit of revenge, determined to be in at the death.
