...walking, pinless, with his wife. Cheering Dusseldorfers stood massed along the curbstone six deep as a Storm Battalion marched past, grim-faced with blaring horns and throbbing drums. Mr. & Mrs. Velz, as they edged down the sidewalk behind the packed standees failed to salute the Storm Troop's swastika flag. Smack!-a uniformed Nazi edging the other way down the sidewalk bashed Mr. Velz on the mouth. Smack!-he bashed him again. U. S. Citizen Velz's lips and nose gushed blood. Spying a policeman, Mr. Velz cried, "Arrest this man-he hit me!" "You can appeal...
...security resulting from international arms control. Meanwhile restive Paris newspapers raised the bugaboo of Germany's threat last year to withdraw from and wreck the Disarmament Conference unless granted "equality of armaments" (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932). Chancellor Hitler-cartooned by Paris Aux Ecoutes as a hawk with swastika talons hovering over the Disarmament Conference dovecote from which peep Chairman Arthur Henderson, Premier MacDonald and M. Paul-Boncour (see cut)-was said to be ready to press the same threat again. Anxiously Mr. Davis, Sir John and M. Paul-Boncour hurried to Geneva where they were joined by Il Duce...
...Germany and Austria. Bottles filled with Nazi leaflets no longer came down the Danube (TIME, Sept. 18), but Austrian Nazis have discovered a new game. With a nail, hammer and patience it is possible to change the geometric design on Austrian five and two groschen copper pieces to a swastika.

On the frontier near Innsbruck stands a great mountain, the Zugspitze. Up the Bavarian side clambered a sweating, puffing Nazi brass band. Up the other side went...
...Swastika banners hung from Frau Winifred Wagner's Villa Wahnfried, drooped over the street as Chancellor Hitler drove through cheering Fascist crowds. Scowling Brown Shirts, rifle at shoulder, guarded the entrance of the refurbished Festspielhaus. It was Nazi Day at Bayreuth. Despite Hitler's prohibition of demonstrations "not pertaining to Wagner's immortal music," Karl Elmendorff's flat, insipid conducting of Die Meistersinger could not conceal the fact that Nazi Germany was again parading its national resurgence. Most foreign Wagnerites, regarding the Festival as an act of homage, remained away...
...Germany and Catholic Young Men's Association. With religious frenzy mounting, half-naked Nazis appeared in Berlin wearing strips of animal skins and ancient Teutonic horned caps. Loudly touting a return to the worship of Thor and Wodan they celebrated in a Berlin stadium the "Festival of the Swastika" (Nazi symbol), seemed to consider their acts religious. Sunday found banners with the pagan swastika or Hakenkreuz ("hooked cross") stuck up beside the cross of Christ in a majority of Berlin churches, though not in the provinces. Preaching from the text He that is not with me is against...
