Assailant Fires Twice At Hamburg Nazi Leader Hamburg, Nov. 13.
An attempt was made yesterday evening at a National Socialist party meeting on the life of the Governor and National Socialist District Leader of Hamburg, Herr Karl Kaufmann. Two shots were fired by a man, but fortunately both missed their mark.
The assailant was arrested and subsequent investigations showed that he was a technical school teacher by name of Herr Ziehm who had submitted various petitions to Herr Kaufmann which had however been rejected by the latter. Herr Ziehm. it is declared, had already addressed similar petitions to the District Leader of the province of Schleswig-Holstein. Herr Heinrich Lohse, be-lore Greater Hamburg was formed.
Since the petitions concerned Herr Ziehm's official status, both Herr Kaufmann and District Leader. Herr Lohse had rejected them, advising Herr Ziehme to follow the customary procedure and lodge his complaints with the competent authorities instead of appealing directly to the district leader. Enraged by the rejection of his petitions, Herr Ziehm had however decided to "decide the matter by a demonstration".—Trans-Ocean.
