DISORDERS IN AUSTRIA
ANTFNAZI MOVEMENT SPREADING DENUNCIATIONS OF HITLER. FORMER POPULAR LEADERS ARRESTED. LONDON, November 22. The "Daily Telegraph’s” Amsterdam correspondent says the Gestapo has arrested Theodor Leipart, the former leader of the German Trades Union Congress, Peter Grassmann. Leipart’s chief lieutenant, and also Seitz, the former Social Democrat Mayor of Vienna, all of whom are septuagenarians who have carefully refrained from anti-Nazism. The arrests indicate the Nazis’ fear of a growth in organised resistance among the workers. The Amsterdam correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company says that the anti-Nazi movement in western Germany is spreading. Under cover of black-outs, chalked inscriptions appear on walls proclaiming: “There will be no Hitler in December,” while small leaflets placed in letter-boxes says, “We want peace. We want freedom. We want no war. We want no Hitler.” There was serious rioting in Carinthia (Austria) last week, and German troops intervened to restore order. There were many civilian casualties.
