REPORT MANY SLAIN IN NEW NAZI PURGE

Saar Newspapers Reveal Wholesale Killings of Storm Troopers

SAARBRUEKEN, Dec. 27--One hundred Storm Troopers have been killed in a new bloody "purge" by Hitler, the newspaper Volksstimme reports, and 1,000 have been arrested in the past few days. According to the Weibuehne, more than 230 have been slain by Hitler's order and 3,000 to 4,000 arrested in Berlin alone. Many of the arrests were carried out on the pretext of "sex abnormality."

The Nazi paper Abendblatt printed an official Nazi propaganda story from Berlin stating that 300 were arrested for sexual abnormality "in a new cleaning action."

On Christmas Day heavy sentences against Communists and other militant workers were announced in Berlin.
