A report that serious disturbances may be expected shortly in Germany as the result of plans for a putsch by Adolf Hitler, Fascist leader, is contained in today’s issue of Welt am Abend, Communist organ. Quoting allegedly well-informed sources, the Communist paper says that changes made in the National Socialist organization signify an impending coup d’etat.

The Welt am Abend further states that the more radical element in the party has won control and they have given in for fear of breaking party unity. The impatient Fascist storm squads are also said to be seeking connections with the police and the Reichswehr, the Welt am Abend claims.
