BERLIN FARCE
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Reccl. 10 a.m. BERLIN, Monday. Karl Schulz, who was responsible for Saturday’s broadcast hoax, was assaulted to-day in an underground train by a journalist colleague, Herr Wolfgang Schwarz, who struck Herr Schulz in the face. A wrestling match ensued in the crowded carriage. _ The police were unable to take action against Herr Schulz, who enjoys a Parliamentary deputy’s immunitj^.
A million German wireless listeners were hoaxed on Saturday evening. It was announced that a Socialist. Herr Wolfgang Schwarz, would lecture on the problem of ensuring peace. However, listeners were amazed to hear a flaming eulogy ofi- Communism and Soviet Russia. with a violent denunciation of Socialism. The speaker ended by appealing to all to support Communism, to demand a plebiscite and to forbid the construction of warships. It was revealed later that a Communist had impersonated Herr Schwarz. The latter was kidnapped by three other Communists and conveyed at the point of a revolver to a lonely village several miles from Berlin. There he was left stranded.
