NEW NAZI PURGE

TENSE ATMOSPHERE RAIDS BY SECRET POLICE BERLIN, Dee. 2. Her! Hitler has ordered, a new Nazi purge, which is most extensive, secret police raiding houses all over Germany. Suspects are taken to Gestapo- headquarters, while searching for letters, books, and papers. The fate of the arrested persons is seldom disclosed, leading to the wildest rumours, but it is believed that the purge is aimed principally at Catholics, who are alleged to- have participated in politics. Reactionaries are accused of conspiring against Nazi politico-economical measures. Nazi officials arc suspected of graft and ex travagance. The secret polled ar? creating an atmosphere of tension similar to the Ogpu, whose methods they closely follow. Telephones are tapped, correspondence intercepted, and suspects shadowed. The extension of their activity is possibly due to wide spread grumbling about the food .shortage and rising prices. It is generally agreed that Gc r many is heading for a hard and dismal winter. Elliot then got a forward splits and later a stopper hold from whi‘ch Andresen eventually freed himself. The fifth round opened with Andresen trying to jolt Elliot and then secured a clam, which Elliot cleverly broke out of. He countered with a rocking chair spits. The sixth round opened with both sparring for a hold, Elliot eventually obtaining a full Nelson. Andresen then secured a figure four scissors, but Eliot got free. Andresen retaliated with a rocking cradle splits and the gong saved Elliot. The seventh round saw both men aggressive, jolts being frequent. Andresen went for a figure four scissors but Elliot broke away. Andresen got another figure four scissors but Elliot esj caped again.
