MUNICH OUTRAGE I REPORT BY EXPERTS * i -• • - < >.*' . i l ITLER’S SECRET MOVE! FREEDOM RADIO THREAT ' ' LONDON, Nov. 10; T lie German official news agency says that a. committee of experts is investigating the Munich explosion in which Herr Hitler narrowly escaped and nine persons were Filled and more than 60 injured. Important clues have been discovered indicating that it was carefully prepared and perpetrated by means a time-bomb. The Pope and the President of Finland, M. Kallio, have congratulated Herr Hitler on his escape. Herr Hitler lias gone to an unknown destination, believed! to be a village in Thuringia. Considerable quantities of documents have been removed from the Chancellery. “Cannot Escape His Fate”

Lt is reported from Munich that the victims of the explosion will lie in state during the night before the Heroes’ Hall while the public file past. Ihe funeral, in the form of a solemn State tribute, has been fixed for tomorrow morning. The shop window of Herr Hitler’s personal photographer in Berlin was smashed, the missile apparently being aimed at a huge portrait of Herr Hitler. The' Gorman Freedom Party, in a radio broadcast, states: “The first bomb agani.st- the dictatorship exploded at Munich. Many will follow. The device which Herr Hitler has requcntly used against the freedom movement has for the first time been turned against him. Though Herr Hitler has again eluded the punishment lie deserves, lie cannot escape his late. Munich’s infernal machine smashed “the Hitler myth.”

The Paris press is increasingly sceptical of the explanations regarding the explosion. It is pointed (nit that the German official news agency would be forced to conceal, at least tor some time, any true attempt against Herr Hitler, (hi the ’contrary, within a quarter of an hour of the Munich explosion, tjie agency announced the fact and circulated statements l?y the wireless, the press, and embassies, with news also of the official reaction. These must have been prepared) beforehand.
