Nazis in Uruguay

Anti-Government Plotters Held Without Bail

Montevideo, Feb, 2.

The Uruguay Supreme Court yesterday denied bail to eight Nazi leaders charged with an anti-Government plot and sweepingly indicted Naziism.

The Nazis are attacking "the very essence of our existence as an independent nation," the Court said.

Those arrested included a German radical movement director, Herr Arnold Fubrman, whose plan involved seizure and use of Uruguay as a wedge for Nazi conquest of South America with the aid of shock troops of National socialist youths and glider organizations, which would be trained on military landing fields—United Press.
