HITLER'S ENEMIES

OVERTHROW SOUGHT EVASION OF THE POLICE BIG OPPOSITION PAkTY ' •_ ■ i By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON. Jan. 3 The Daily Sketch states that the dreaded Nazi secret police raided thousands of houses, offices and flats throughout Germany in a desperate attempt to discover the men behind the opposition movement, whose yellow leaflets, announcing a pledge to overthrow Herr Hitler or to die, flooded Germany at the week-end.

Thero were even delivered to Herr Hitler circnlars which claimed that the movement was started in 1935 and that its followers now number hundreds of thousands besides millions of sympathisers.

Nazi spies and secret service agents for two years have failed to catch members of the opposition, and have not even traced secret wireless cars, which daily broadcast against Herr Hitler.

Although huge rewards have been offered nobody has claimed blood money. The congress of the party on January 1 was held within a mile of Herr Hitler's palace. • PRESS OF GERMANY CONTROL TO BE CHANGED REFORMER APPOINTED LONDON. Jan. 3 The control of the German press, reports the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, is to be transferred on January 15 from the Minister of Propaganda, Dr. Goebbels, to Dr. Otto Dietrich, one of Herr Hitler's closest friends. Dr. Dietrich is reported to be dissatisfied with the monotonous uniformity of the newspapers, and is likely to insist upon a higher standard of accuracy. He also disapproves of the summary expulsion of foreign correspondents.

MORE RESTRICTIONS NAZIS AND THE JEWS REGULATIONS PENDING LONDON. Jan. 3 The Nazi Party is preparing new and more restrictive anti-Jewish measures, which will apply even to Jewish war veterans and to the widows and children of Jews killed in the war, who have hitherto been unmolested, states the Daily Telegraph's Munich correspondent. The new readations will bar Jewish doctors and demists from panel insurance practic£ As most Germans obtain treatment under compulsory insurance, this means that Jews will be deprived of their practices.
