Danzig to "Return on May 1" Danzig, Apr. 28.
Danzig will revert to the Reich on May 1, Nazis here predicted today following Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's references to the Free City in his Reichstag speech at noon.
All leaves of absence were cancelled by the police today, and Nazi Storm Troopers were kept under emergency orders. Public and private enterprises closed their doors to permit the population to listen in unhindered to Herr Hitler's address.
At 1130 am., large crowds were already gathered at the main crossroad sections to listen to the broadcast, which was relayed over special mounted loudspeaker.
Long cheering marked the mi passages of the speech, although it was noted that the population of the city was far from unanimous in its attitude towards Herr Hitler's speech.
German anti-Hitlerite manifestoes were circulated. They urged the people not to listen to the Reichsfuehrer's address. The authorities had to take special measures to protect special poster-bulletins on Herr Hitler's address. Policemen were stationed near these bulletins after several were torn down.
Many incidents were reported to have occurred between German and Polish residents of the Free City and a large number of windows were broken in Polish houses.
Herr Albert Foerster, Nazi leader here, issued a special proclamation to German Storm Troopers to "wait calmly for further developments." Grand manœuvres for the Storm Troopers are due in the Danzig territory in June.—Havas.
