The Social Democratic Party and the Free Democratic Party, right-wing Socialist Party, of Bavaria have called on the provincial government to halt Nazi activity in the Bavarian press.
The occasion for the request at this time was the pro-Nazi line of the “Schweinfurter Tagesblatt,” whose publisher, Franz Richter, has reorganized the newspaper around the staff which served on it in 1943. In addition, the protesting parties pointed out, Hjalmer Schacht’s semi-monthly bulletin “Finanzbriefe” will soon be published weekly.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor of the town of Marktredwitz, where the only synagogue was damaged by Nazis just before the High Holidays, reported today that he has questioned 70 people in recent weeks. By this time, he told the American military government authorities here, six people are under arrest for their part in the attack.
