BUND ACTIVITIES
CHIEF NAZI ORGANISATION IN AMERICA LEADER FORMER ASSOCIATE OF HITLER. REPORT OF RECENT INQUIRY. \ By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON, April 3. After concluding their investigation of the activities of the chief Nazi organisation in the United States, the German-American “Volksbund,” the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice announced today that its members seek to instil and perpetuate in German-Americans “pride of their German background and love for Germany.” G-Men found that the Bund Jeader, Fritz Kuhn, had been associated with Herr Hitler in the Munich beer cellar “putsch” in 1923 and that German was a mandatory language in Bund schools. The Stars and Stripes and the Swastika, it was found, are raised and lowered together at Bund camps and one camp is dedicated as “a little piece of German soil in America.” The department found no evidence that the Bund was controlled from Germany or whether their storm troopers drill with firearms.
