A GREAT PURGE
TERRORISM FEARED EXPLOSION AT MUNICH HITLER DOES NOT APPEAR (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Nov. 10, 3.15 p.m.) BERLIN, Nov. 9 The casualties due to the explosion at Munich are nine dead and 61 injured, of whom 29 are seriously hurt. The British United Press learns from Berlin that a special commission of the Gestapo is investigating the explosion, and a great purge is in progress throughout Germany. The people fear a Gestapo reign of terror, and are anxiously wondering on whom revenge may fall. Many suspects have already been detained. Hitler resumed his duties at the Chancellery, but did not appear on the balcony in response to repeated calls from the crowds. Special squads of police are maintaining vigils day and night. The United States Charge d’Affaires signed the guest book at the Chancellery to mark Hitler’s escape. The Belgian Ambassador and other diplomats sent messages of sympathy. The evening press and radio echo the fury of the morning pi*ess, indicting Britain for attempted murder, but not a shred of evidence has been produced to support the fantastic charge that British secret service agents were responsible.
