Communists Are Thrown Out Of Ruhr Headquarters
BERLIN, September 28 (Rec. 1.30 p.m.). — Club - swinging German policemen drove out 120 Communists from the Communist Party’s Ruhr headquarters at Dusseldorf today, after being pelted with ash trays and beer glasses in the basement diningroom.
The police used force to clear the new five-storey building in the face of Communist*defiance of the British order requisitioning it for troop reinforcements arriving soon from England. The Communists had only just occupied it after the West German Communist Party moved its headquarters to Dusseldorf from Frankfurt.
' The building was plastered overnight with a painted slogan “Built with the pennies of workers —stolen by Tommies—We shall get it back.” * The police at once threw a cordon around the area to prevent a repetition of the demonstration which occurred last night, when several hundred Communists, mostly blue-shirted members of the “Free German Youth” defied the police ban and marched towards the building shouting “Give us back our headquarters.” The police drew their truncheons, charged and arrested five demonstators.
