BEHEADED BY NAZIS
EDITOR OF SECRET POLISH PAPER. TWO HUNDRED SUSPECTS ARRESTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, March 23. Polish circles in London learned that the Germans have beheaded M; Nurzynski, editor of the secret Polish newspaper, “Poznan.” Nurzynski published 1000 copies of the 8.8. C. “Polish News,” which was picked up at a secret listening post. The Gestapo have arrested 200 persons suspected of reading the secret newspaper. The men were sent to a concentration camp and the women to Germany for forced labour.
The extensive underground Press that exists in Poland in spite of the efforts of the German occupiers of the country to suppress such activity was mentioned by Count K. A. Wodzicki, Consul-General of Poland, in an address to the Wellington Rotary Club. At least 25 underground papers were published, said Count Wodzicki. The workers would be in danger every day of being shot. Paper would have to be stolen from the Germans or seized by force by guerillas. They would be unable to obtain openly any plant and everything would have to be done by stealth. One of these papers, bearing a date in December, contained a picture of Mr Winston Churchill reviewing Polish troops in Scotland.
