Postcards depicting the murder of a Christian girl by Jews for blood ritual purposes are being freely distributed in Austria by the Nazis, according to information received by the police today.

Police have been instructed to visit all tobacconists, and stationary stores and to confiscate the postcards. Whether or not they have as yet searched the Nazi Brown House is not known.

It is possible that nothing will be found in Nazi headquarters, Nazi chieftains preferring not to be officially associated with this activity, and that some of their members were appointed, on their own responsibility, to distribute the cards under the mask of a business enterprise.

Jewish circles expect the police to issue a communique regarding their findings.
