The Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that the Gestapo, arrested Herr Theodor Leipart, a former leader of the German Trades’ Union Congress, Herr Peter Grassmann, Herr Leipart’s chief lieutenant and also Herr Seitz, a former Social Democrat Mayor of Vienna, all of whom are septuagenarians and who have carefully refrained from anti-Nazism.
