TWO LEADERS DEAD
AFTER HECTIC DAY
(Continued From Page One)
Besides Roehm, a number of other
storm troop leaders were dead within
a few hours of the time when Hitler
struck. Some of them committed
BUlcide; some of them were killed re
sisting arrest.
The retchswehr the national army
waa ordered to be in readiness
throughout Germany.
The nazl party announced Roehm
waB arrested because he wos a con
spirator, in league not only with Von
Schleicher, but with "a foreign pow
er" and was, furthermore, of such
an Immoral character that he
brought discredit upon the nazl
mox-ement.
The announcement said that when
Roehm and other leaders were arrest
ed under Hitler's personal direction,
these leaders were found engaged In
"a spectacle which was so bad mor
ally that every trace of pity must
needs vanish."
Not only was Roehm thrown out
but Capt. Karl Ernst, leader of the
storm troops at Berlin, was sum
marily disposed. Count Wolf Heln
rlch Heldorf, nazl police president of
Potsdam, also was reported slain.
Among the storm troop leaders who
were shot dead while resisting arrest,
wos Edmund Heines.
Premier Herrmann WUhelm Goer
Ing of Prussia announced he was car
rying out drastic police action on
Hitler's personal orders against nazl
storm troop leaders attempting to
force a second German revolution.
His measures, he said, were extended
In two directions against absolute
reactionaries and absolute radicals.
"In order that no false news might,
get out," Goering told a meeting of
foreign press correspondents, "I have
ordered all communications with for
eign countries stopped for the pres
ent until you hear my statement
which gives you the undiluted truth,
but I warn you seriously not to let
your Imagination run wild."
