Hitler Injured
In Face By A
Bunch Posies
BERLIN, Germany, Oct. 7, (/P)
— Herr Hitler was slightly injur
ed in the face when an over en
thusiastic Sudetenlander tossed
a bouquet of flowers at the Fueh
erer while making his triumphal
tour of the fourth zone occupa
tion. Dispatches, however, did
rot say where it occurred.
The Fueherer immediately is
sued general orders to Nazi party
leaders that henceforth they will
be personally responsible for see
ing that flowers are taken away
from all persons along his line
of march—even small bouquets
must be seized.
Reports said that Hitler’s face
was scratched when hit squarely
by a bunch of roses, but the in
jury was so slight that medical
attention was not needed.
