BERLIN DENIES
POSSIBILITY OF
FASCIST COUP
Berlin (IP) Reports of an im
pending fascist "putsch" Saturday
were officially branded by the Prus
sian government and the federal
ministry of the interior as devoid
of the slightest foundation.
The authorities, it was stated, are
watching both fascists and com
munists closely, knowing exactly
their Intentions and their equip
ment for possible trouble.
There were no signs, the denial
continues, that an uprising is im
minent. The Prussian police, who are.sa:d
to be thoroughly republican, found
no evidence of secret military drill
by fascists nor a rush to stores
which sell weapons, as reported in
one section of the German press,
and say they are convinced that the
fascists have no arms to speak of.
Authorities assert that the re
ports of a putsch were launched by
communists and express regret that
the bourgeolse press give them cre
dence, saying that much harm
thereby was done German Industry
and commerce.
It was declared that the state's
armed forces can be put into ac
tion on a moment's notice for pro
tection of the constitution and re
publican institutions.
