PAGE TWO
Many Attempts Believed
Made Upon Hitler's Life
(By The Associated Press)
There have been various unveri
fied reports of attempts on the life
of Adolf Hitler before yesterday's
(Wednesday’s) beer cellar explosion
at Munich, but no attempt ever was
officially admitted.
Hitler barely escaped assassination
in 1934 it was reported at the hands
of Edmund Heines, one of those he
attempted to arrest in the Nazi
“blood purge."
Heines was said to have rushed up
to Hitler with a revolver but was
shot and killed by one of the Nazi
chieftain's aides.
Reports in Nazi circles at the* time
said the incident occurred at the
home of Captain Ernst Roehm. one
of the Nazis who died m the purge.
Unconfirmed reports from unre
lated quarters in* Munich and Ber
lin on January 7. 193a, said two
storm troopers had attempted to
shoot Hitler in his chancellory the
week before.
There were two versions—both de
nied by responsible Nazi circles —one
that his chauffeur had been killed
and another that the chauffeur was
wounded. It was noted, however, de
spite the denials that afterward Hit
ler had a new chauffeur.
In March of the same year a
roundup of five men. including three
Americans, by police at Copenhagen,
Denmark, led" to the belief in inform
ed quarters there that aliens had
been plotting against Hitler's life.
The Copenhagen arrests came
after Danish police received a
warning that aliens residing tem
porarily in Copenhagen. Paris,
Prague, and Antwerp were implicat
ed in the alleged plot.
Helmuth Hirseh, 21 -year-old Jew
ish son of a naturalized American,
was executed June 4, 1937. in Ger
many on a charge believed at first
to have invol\ ed a suspected plot
against the fuehrer.
It was reported on good authority
later, however, that the “very high
government official" against whom
Hirseh was accused of plotting was
Julius Streicher, high Hitler aide and
leading Nazi Jew-hater.
When Hitler rode triumphantly
into newly annexed Sudetenland on
October 7 last year his face was
scratched by a bouquet of roses
thrown by an over-enthusiastic ad
mirer.
That “incident of the roses”
brought an order that henceforth
welcomers refrain from showering
the fuehrer with flowers. A promi
nent Nazi editor said at the time
that the incident “furnished a wel
come occasion for guarding against
the possibility" that bouquets might
at some time contain explosives.
Hitler himself issued the order a
gainst the throwing of flowers and
without interruption
for 51 years

placed upon Nazi leaders the respon
sibility for seeing that bouquets were
taken from spectators along the
routes of his tours.
Precautions to safeguard his life
have increased in recent years.
It was noted that he spoke from
behind a bullet-proof glass en-;
closure at Wilhelmshaven last April
4 at the launching of the battleship
Admiral von Tripitz. Nazis said,
however, the enclosure, which re
sembled a teller’s cage, was for the
purpose of protecting his throat a
! gainst the chilly breeze.
The plot which claimed the lives
[ of six of his "old guard” followers
and injured (50 others yesterday re
called another close call the fuehrer
had in the same location 16-years
ago.
It was from the Munich beer cel
’ lar that he launched his abortive
putsch in 1923 and started a march
on Berlin. Detachments of regular
troops opened fire on his co lupins
and many of his men tell but Hitler
dropped to the street and escaped
the bullets.
On March 13, 1933, 4,'ount Anton
Arco-Valley was placed under “pro
tective arrest” in Munich because the
police said, he had announced he
planned m on Hitler’s life.
In 1919 the count shot Kurt Eismer
socialist premier of Bavaria, was
condemned to death and later par
doned. Hitler’s newspaper reported
Aero-Valley told friends, "I wouldn’t
mind removing Hitler as I once did
, Eismer.”
Six days before that, on March 7,
two waiters were arrested at Munich
on a charge of planning the assas
sination of Hitler.
The following April police at
Berchesgaden said they had frustrat
ed an attempt on Hitler’s life by the
arrest of Paul Orlowsky who had
been found carrying a loaded pistol
near the chancellor’s mountain home.
A few days later the police clear
ed Orlowsky, saying he was an ac
credited member of the Nazi party
who merely wished to speak to Hit
ler concerning a petition and plan
ned no attempt on the fuehrer’s life. ;
Just four days after that incident
Munich said they believed they had
thwarted a plot on Hitler’s life thro
ugh the arrest of a Hindu, allegedly
a Communist, and his chauffeur at
the border station of Rhinsting.

Raleigh, Nov. 9.—lt was oad
enough last year when Dune was a
heavy favorite, out ihis year with
the University of North Carolina's
Tar Heels in that role, it is almost
completely impossible (if there :s
any greater degree of impossibility
than just plain “impossible”) to
talk to any State Oeoartment of
ficial on any subject --.er than the
game of November 18—certainly not
for more than a minute or two be
fore the subject bobs up.
SpeaKing with the utmost serious
ness and with no levity whatsoever,
that Duke-Carolina game is today
responsible ."or the absolute indif
ference of official North Carolina
(in Raleigh, at all events) to poli
| lies and the World War.
Maybe there wouldn’t be much
; discussion of the governor’s race,
' anyhow; but that’s difficult to be
lieve as the jobs of so many folks
depend indirectly upon their choice
| of the right candidate next year.
It is freely predicted that come
Novemoer 20, the Monday after ihe
big day, there will be a tremendous
pickup in political palaver here
abouts.
Cike the rest of the suspected
candidates for governor, Lee Grave
ly of Rocky Mount evidently intends
to get about the State oven before
announcing with formality.
He is soon to make an address be
fore one of the civic clubs of
Thomasville, and when a man be
gins to go that far from home to
cat green peas ; nd talk, it’s a sure
thing ne : s -mining for something.
Four-H Club boys now submitting
records on their corn projects are
reporting unusually good yields this
year, says L. R. Harrill, 4-H Club
leader at State College.
