LONDON, December 4,
The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says the Polish Information Bureau states that 300 of the 350 hostages at Gdynia were shot in hatches after digging their own graves, the Gestapo shooting them with revolvers while the survivors were compelled to look on. The victims included the port director, judges, clergymen, a bank director, and a professor. Mass executions are reported from Posnania and Pomerania. The Gestapo arrested a number of students because a window was broken at Oburzo. They ordered the parents to whip them before the church. The parents refused and were clubbed.
The statement alleges that the tongue of a Polish member of Parliament was torn out.
