NAZI ATTACKS
CATHOLIC CONGRESS DELEGATES ROUGHLY HANDLED GATHERING BROKEN UP (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) Munich, June 11. Owing to brutal Nazi attacks on delegates, the Catholic Congress has been abandoned and the delegates are returning to their homes. Storm Troops attacked the congress restaurants and dormitories early this morning and assaulted the inmates, two of whom had their jawbones broken. They also tore off the priests’ badges. Lorry loads of Nazis formed a cordon round the side of the special service by Cardinal Saulhauber, compelling its abandonment because the police refused to accept any responsibility for the safety of the participants. The leader of the Swiss delegation was roughly handled and he has lodged an official protest with the Bavarian Government. The Nazis used their truncheons on the members of the congress, including foreigners. Herr von Papen took a leading part in the congress. He has cancelled his remaining Munich engagements and gone to Obseralzburg to interview Herr Hitler. PRIEST BEATEN TO DEATH. (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.0 p.m.) Munich, June 12. Professor Zinsser, who was a priest, was beaten to death by Nazi rubber batons. None of the ten English delegates was assaulted.
