A thorough investigation of the “bombing” with Nazi propaganda of the open air meetings here Sunday and Monday of the United Singers Society was under way today. Police and an inspector of the Department of Commerce Aeronautics Branch were seeking to trace the ownership of the mystery plane which dropped hundreds of Nazi leaflets on the 7,000 members of the organization, which has taken a stand in opposition to the present regime in Germany.

The leaflets protested against refusal of permission to allow the Friends of New Germany, Nazi organization in this country, to be represented at the gathering. They were printed in German.

The investigation follows complaints to the authorities by Albert F. Frosch, president of the United Singers Society. The plane, he said, had flown over the meeting and the noise of its engine had interrupted the community singing program.
