The propaganda emissaries of the Third Reich have invaded Cuba and will shortly commence the work of evangelizing the precepts of the Nazi government.

At a meeting Sunday night of the Nazi sympathizers held in the German Club, of which Eric Tropel, head of the German consulate, is the president, the decision was reached to carry on a widespread campaign to Nazify the country.

Five Jews who were arrested at the time of the most recent revolution in Cuba, have been released by Colonel Batista, Army head.

Six Jews who were stowaways on a German ship bound for the United States and were returned, have been released after intervention by the Jewish Center here. They were in detention for eight weeks.

Windows of the business establishments owned by Luis Jurick, an American citizen who is also the president of the Jewish Center, were destroyed by vandals yesterday. His place was then looted.

At the same time the home owned by Ben Dizik, a merchant, was robbed and a sizable sum of money as well as valuable gold objects were taken.
