STREICHER WINS

"STURMER" SUPPRESSION

BANNED ISSUE RELEASED

(Received January 28, 10.30 a.m.)

BERLIN, January 27.

Herr Streicher appears to have won his fight. against the suppressors of the "Stunner."

The special issue of the paper seized yesterday week has been released and is being sold throughout the country. Officially, there is no explanation of its reappearance, except in connection with changes in the editorial staff.

It was reported at first that Herr Streicher had resigned the editorship of the "Stunner" and was remaining the owner and publisher, but after it was revealed that he retains the chief editorship, but that the editor responsible for the recent article attacking the Government Department had resigned.

It was reported on January 19 last an issue of the "Stunner," Herr Streicher's anti-Jewish newspaper, had been* confiscated because of an attack on the Currency Department, which -was declared to be allowing letters of credit sent to Switzerland to be used for the study of German religion. A cablegram on January 23 stated that the Government had confiscated an issue of the "Stunner," which demanded death as punishment for infringement of the Nuremberg decrees against "racial disgrace," namely, love affairs between Jews and Ayrans, the claim being supported by quotations from Herr Hitler's book, "Mem Kampf." Herr Hitler was reported to have interrupted a journey to give Streicher a piece of his mind. A later message stated that the confiscation was carried out in a half-hearted manner -throughout Germany, as the ban was not approved.

A wireless telegraph office has been opened at Pukapuka, in the northern .grou£.of-.the Cop& Islands,
