LISTENERS-IN HOAXED
FLAMING COMMUNIST EULOGY. By Telegraph—Tress Assn. —Copyright. United Service. Berlin, Oct. 7. A million German wireless listeners were hoaxed by the Saturday evening programme, when it was announced that the Socialist, Wolfgang Schwartz, would lecture on the problem of ensuring peace, but listeners were amazed to hear a flaming eulogy of Communism and the Soviet, with a violent denunciation of socialism, ending in an appeal for support of the Communist demand for a plebiscite to forbid the construction of warships. It was revealed later that a Communist bad impersonated Schwartz, whom three Communists kidnapped and conveyed, at the point of the revolver, to a lonely village several miles from Berlin, where he was left stranded.
